Dedication
To Father Carter
Acknowledgements
For his gracious assistance in discerning this text and for helping me on my spiritual journey, I extend my heartfelt appreciation to Father Edward J. Carter, S.J., Professor of Theology, Xavier University, Cincinnati, Ohio.
A great many people have given unselfishly of their time and talents to make this book possible but a certain few stand out for their special contributions. They have been there from early on and continue to be there whenever help is needed: Ellen Sartori for typing these messages and for giving of herself for those seemingly endless hours of service to Jesus; Father Leroy Smith, who believed and counseled and continues to believe; and my uncle Andrew Weber, who has been so strongly supportive.
