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.

84. Gothic Cathedrals ~
Can You remember
the rainy Saturday
morning
I sat alone
leafing through folios
of French cathedrals,
worried between pages
that You might feel
more content
somewhere other than
there with us
on our plain
Indiana farmland?
~
Kannst Du Dich erinnern
an dem regnerischen Samstag morgen
als ich alleine saß
in Kunstbänden blätternd
über französischen Kathedralen
und so besorgt war
daß Du anderswo zufriedener sein könntest
als dort bei uns
auf der flachen Indiana Farmlandschaft?
