We will not remember every Truth you have ever taught us. And we doubt that this Was your intent. But of one truth You may be sure. We will Remember. We will recall that it was you Who gave us our example in all things — In study; recreation; and in prayer. We watched you walk through the Exact same halls as we, and Yet there was a difference, for you Always did remember who you were And what should be our role. Because we were allowed. If only for a little while To know you and to see you day to day. We gained enough in memories to last Us for a lifetime. For this we pray, Laus tibi, Christe!

Father ' s guileless nature meets the world with boyish grin and jaunty, lighthearted step; seeking to remedy all minor ills by cheerfulness. If Father ' s life has known much of shadow, it has been lightened to a point the world may not see, or even guess it there, except that all men know it. We see only lightness there, perhaps, only per force of this same cheerfulness. An outstanding characteristic of Father Pierce is his sincere interest in people — all people. It is not strange then that Father ' s favorite pursuit is furthering the know- ledge, practice, and love of the liturgy. For here in prais- ing God he knows all people meet. Those he knows and holds dear, those he ' ll never meet, those he has yet to meet someday. Here he finds a common ground to know them all a little better. Father meets and talks with everyone quite easily; for it is not easy to talk to a person, when you have just been talking, as he has, to God with him?
