The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Padre Ignacio by Owen Wister: [Musical score appears here]
For the repose of Gaston's young, world-loving spirit, they sang all that
he had taught them of Il Trovatore.
After this day, Felipe and all those who knew and loved the Padre best,
saw serenity had returned to his features; but for some reason they began
to watch those features with more care.
"Still," they said, "he is not old." And as the months went by they would
repeat: "We shall have him yet for many years."
Thus the season rolled round, bringing the time for the expected messages
from the world. Padre Ignacio was wont to sit in his garden, waiting for
the ship, as of old.
