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.

33. Serenity ~
Did You notice
how
after we had
lost ourselves
in You
so many things
ceased
to upset us,
like when
the pine
was struck
right
outside
the study hall?
~
Hattest Du die Veränderung
in uns wahrgenommen
nachdem wir uns
in Dir verloren hatten
und äußere Dinge aufhörten
uns anzurühren
wie damals
als der Kiefer
gerade außerhalb unseres Studiersaals
vom Blitz getroffen war.
