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.

26. Jealous Lover ~
You haven't forgotten
all the moments
I had with You
in closed rooms
of intimacy.
Or did You, perhaps,
later
when others came
who might
have learned
how to love
You better?
~
Hoffentlich hast Du
all die Momente nicht vergessen
die ich in geschlossenen Räumen
der Vertraulichkeit
mit Dir verbrachte.
Oder vielleicht doch--
als später andere kamen
die gelernt haben konnten
Dich noch besser zu lieben.
