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.

24. Attachment ~
What kind of swivel
was it
on which You leashed me
so successfully?
Ah, did You really
want me
at Your heels
when all the others
were busy
learning verb forms
and history?
~
Was für ein Drehgelenk
war das
an dem Du mich
so erfolgreich
an die Leine hieltest?
Ach, wolltest Du mich wirklich
auf Deinen Fersen
wenn all die anderen
beschäftigt waren
Verbformen und Geschichte
zu eigen zu machen.
