Thank you so much Teresa for this translation, a magnum opus for anyone. There is so much to enjoy in it.
So moving: speaking of praying for one's country to lose a war
So joyful: the sweet hugs with Ratzi on his ordination day
so enlightening: the nicknames 'Organ-Ratz and 'Books-Ratz'. The Welsh also used to have this way of nicknaming people.
