We were just boys at that time, teen-agers who ardently wanted to be priests . . .As was common practice in the 1940s, candidates for the priesthood were sought in Catholic grade schools and those young teenagers who felt called went off to a Preparatory Seminary and were introduced to a formation that profoundly transformed their lives. Their training was rigorous, but kind and gentle.

44. Passage of Time ~
And all during
those years
minutes
were being measured
diligently
by the onlooking clock
in low swinging arcs
there
on that wall
where
all our corridors
met.
~
Während all dieser Jahre
ist jede einzelne Minute
sorgfältig gemessen worden
in langen schwingenden Bögen
von der unaufhaltsamen Uhr
an der Wand
wo all unsere Korridore
zusammen trafen.
78. Time ~
And time
ran
straight down
through
our days
like
a gurgling brook
through
a lush green
glade.
~
Und die Zeit
floß geradewegs hinab
durch unsere Tage
wie ein gurgelnder Bach
durch eine saftige
grüne Wiese.
