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.

69. Your Image ~
On thinking back
I remember You
as being young
and dark
and somehow weak,
which was
irresistibly attractive,
and what was more
You were near,
as if in a room
next to mine,
alone
and waiting.
~
Zurückblickend
erinnere ich mich an Dich
als ob Du jung warst
und dunkel
und irgendwie schwach
was unwiderstehlich anziehend war
und, was noch mehr zählte
Du warst nahe
wie in einem Zimmer neben mein
allein und wartend.
