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.

54. Spontaneity ~
When they talked
about formation of habits
to gain Your favor
we listened.
But we knew
that repetition
as such
would deprive us
of all our
pent up inventiveness.
~
Wenn sie
von der Aneignung von Gewohnheiten
redeten
womit wir Gefallen bei Dir
finden konnten,
hörten wir zu.
Aber wir wußten
daß Wiederholung allein
uns all unserer
angestauten Erfindungsgabe
berauben würde.
