Hide-and-seek is a child’s game. When played in church, the fun would get most kids in trouble with the pastor. That did not happen to 11-year-old Joseph Horne. Instead, he sensed that God wanted him nearby. Eventually, he became a Maryknoll Brother.

One hot afternoon during 1938, the then 11-year-old Horne and his friends had taken their game inside to enjoy the cool refuge in the cavernous parish church of Immaculate Conception at Price and Ardleigh Streets in the in the Philadelphia neighborhood of East Germantown. Horne, who today is known as Brother Harold and serves the Maryknoll Fathers and Brothers in Taipei, Taiwan, ran alongside the altar to find a place to hide.

“And there’s a large crucifix by the side of the main altar, and what attracted my attention,” said Brother Harold, “was a little plaque. It was like a picture frame and it had words in it, and so I bent over the railing to read what the words said and it was the Prayer before a Crucifix.” (See below.)
