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.

90. Rapture ~
It wasn't a shudder
that went through us,
no,
a piercing of blades
was the bliss
that we felt
when all at once
You would come
and stand
right there before us
like a person.
~
Es war kein Schauder
der durch uns zog
nein,
das Entzücken das wir fühlten
war ein Schlitzen von Messern
wenn Du plötzlich da warst
und standest neben uns
wie eine Person.
