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.

25. Dependence ~
It was neither swivel
nor leash
You used
to bind.
It was some
living cord
through which
living morsels
of sweetness
were sent,
to which
I soon
became addicted.
~
Es war weder Drehgelenk
noch Leine
mit der Du mich
anzubinden pflegtest.
Es war irgendeine
lebendige Schnur
durch die
lebendige Leckerbissen von Süße
zu mir kamen,
nach denen ich bald
süchtig zu werden wurde.
