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.

58. Even the Flowers ~
When we passed them
on the path
didn't the flowers
sense
the intensity
of our piety
and say
they had found partners
in rendering You
worship?
~
Als wir an den Blumen
auf dem Weg vorbeispazierten
spürten sie nicht
die Intensität unserer Frömmigkeit
und sagten doch
daß sie Partner gefunden hatten
die zusammen mit Ihnen
Dich anbeten konnten?
