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.

85. Divine Presence ~
We had all the order
of the Parthenon
within those walls,
for You hewed
into our dimensions
the pillars
of Your presence.
How could we
have ever seen
that our poor yellow bricks
were crumbling?
~
Wir hatten die ganze Ordnung
des Parthenons
innerhalb unserer Räume
denn in unseren Hallen standen
von Dir gehauen
die Säulen Deiner Anwesenheit.
Wir hätten niemals einsehen können
daß unsere armseligen gelben Ziegelsteine
im Bröckeln waren?
