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.

67. Morals ~
I can remember
thinking
it just wasn't like You
to promise us things
to make us
be good,
so I once asked
innocently
if someone
had made up
the idea of heaven
for You.
~
Ich kann mich erinnern
wie ich dachte
es paßte einfach nicht zur Dir
uns Dinge zu versprechen
um aus uns brave Jungens zu machen
und so fragte ich einst unschuldig
ob jemand die Idee eines Himmels
für Dich erfunden hat.
