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.

102. Locus Sanctus ~
Do You remember
the warm evening
You came and sat
with me
for ten minutes
just inside the stone wall
of the apple orchard
until the sun
had gone down
behind the silent
New England woods?
~
Erinnerst Du Dich
an den warmen Sommerabend
als Du kamst und neben mir saßest
zehn Minuten lang
dort innerhalb der Steinmauer
des Äpfelgartens
bis die Sonne
hinter den schweigenden Wäldern
New Englands
untergegangen war?
