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.

11. Unquestioning Faith ~
We never asked
ourselves
if we believed
it was You
we held
in bread
on our tongues
for those ten
brief moments
of ecstatic Eucharistic
oneness.
~
Wir fragten uns niemals
ob wir glaubten
daß Du es warst
Den wir in Brot
auf unseren Zungen hatten
während jener
zehn kurzen Minuten
ekstatischer eucharistischer
Einssein.
