When I first learned that my cousin Hans was coming from Tyrol to live with us while he studied in Vienna, I thought Hans was in for a big surprise, but the one surprised was me. Little by little I began to realize why Hans had that power of attraction. It was because he always clung to and fought for what was great, pure and noble. I too began to aspire to that ideal. I longed to be good, noble, pure... but lacked the necessary will power. From where did Hans get it? I knew it was from Hans s faithful practice of his Catholic Faith but I wanted to be noble and pure by my own unaided effort, I wanted to remain indifferent in religious matters yet be, all the same, a good and upright young man like Hans. I feared that religion would stifle my personality, when in truth it was that alone which could give me true freedom. My cousin Hans helped me begun to realize it. But I fought against it. For years I didn t have the courage to utter that one word, Yes but at that moment I made up my mind. I resolved to carry out what I had so often been hesitant to undertake. I wanted to be noble, generous and courageous, very much like Hans. And from the bottom of my heart I said Yes . Please join me in the story of how my cousin Hans helped me change my life.
