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.

6. Awakening ~
You woke us
from our lethargy,
fired us
with energy
and drove us
beyond every plain
of recognition
to a garden
of intimacy
with apples
from every tree.
~
Du wecktest uns
aus unserer Lethargie,
zündetest in uns Energie
und triebst uns
durch Ebenen der Erkenntnis
zu einem Garten hin
wo wir leicht
die kostbarsten Äpfel
von allen Bäumen
mit ausgestreckten Armen
herunterholen konnten.
