    About this ebook

    Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

    #1 I was a bully, the leader of a gang, and a street fighter. I had no use for school, except insofar as it had a playground where I could fight or wrestle. I refused to admit that there was anything I couldn’t do as well as or better than anyone else.

    #2 I inherited my toughness from my father, and my religious training from my mother. I was openly scornful of those who were pious, and I took great pains not to be thought of as such.

    #3 I wanted to be a Jesuit, and I wrote a letter to the Polish Jesuits in Warsaw, telling them I wanted to enter the Society over there. I hadn’t told anyone at the seminary or at home, and I went to New York to see the Jesuit Provincial.

    #4 I was finally accepted into the Society of Jesus, and I was happy and excited. But I was also very stubborn, and when Father Kelly, the provincial, told me I would have to go back to the seminary, I refused. I was forced to leave the Society.

      #1

      I was a bully, the leader of a gang, and a street fighter. I had no use for school, except insofar as it had a playground where I could fight or wrestle. I refused to admit that there was anything I couldn’t do as well as or better than anyone else.

      #2

      I inherited my toughness from my father, and my religious training from my mother. I was openly scornful of those who were pious, and I took great pains not to be thought of as such.

      #3

      I wanted to be a Jesuit, and I wrote a letter to the Polish Jesuits in Warsaw, telling them I wanted to enter the Society over there. I hadn’t told anyone at the seminary or at home, and I went to New York to see the Jesuit Provincial.

      #4

      I was finally accepted into the Society of Jesus, and I was happy and excited. But I was also very stubborn, and when Father Kelly, the provincial, told me I would have to go back to the seminary, I refused. I was forced to leave the Society.

      #5

      I had come to the end of a long search. I was convinced that God had sought me out and was telling me the answer to my long desire. I was certain that Russia was my destination. I knew I would be there in the future.

      #6

      I was sent to the Maryland-New York Province’s new Jesuit novitiate in Wernersville, Pennsylvania, in 1930. I was the first group of novices to pronounce their vows of the Society in that house. I was excited to be going to Russia.

      #7

      I was ordained in Rome in 1937. I had studied theology in Rome at the Gregorian University, and had also studied Russian language, liturgy, and history in the Collegio Russicum, not far from the basilica of St. Mary Major.

      #8

      I was ordained a priest in Rome in 1947. I had dreams of going to Russia, and I was convinced that I would be there soon. Father General Ledochowski, the leader of the Russian mission, told me that it was impossible to send men into Russia at that time.

      #9

      I had come to Albertin in 1938, just after the Munich Conference which dismembered Czechoslovakia and guaranteed peace in our time, but soon after Hitler began his campaign to get the Danzig Corridor, war was declared between Germany and Poland.

      #10

      The Russian Army arrived in Albertin one morning, and took over the seminary. They were very polite, and allowed me to keep my room on the first floor. They took everything else.

      #11

      I was eventually summoned to meet with the army captain, who told me I could no longer live with the troops. I was told I had to move into the little house at the end of the mission garden, which had been the original home on the property.

      #12

      The situation with the churches was difficult, to say the least. The soldiers would occasionally whistle and chant Gospodi, Gospodi! mimicking the responses to the litanies in the first part of the Oriental-rite Mass, but they did not interfere with the service.

      #13

      I received another telegram from the American Embassy, this
