Deliver Us from Evil
I am here because...
I recognize...
in my life there has been
a major imbalance,
mainly caused by...
what I have done in a criminal way.
I want to promise myself
that this is going to be
the most honest...
confession of my life,
and in doing that,
I need to make
the long journey backwards
to understand what I did,
to acknowledge that,
in some way to make
reparation for it,
and to let those
whom I have offended
know that, if possible.
Basically what I want
to say to them is, you know,
it should not have happened.
It should not have happened.
When I saw him the first time,
oh, I think it was love at first sight.
- I agree.
- I really do.
It was easy to talk to her.
It must be.
We've been together 41 years now.
But he wasn't really practicing Buddhism.
He used to go with me to church.
Yeah. Before I even met you,
I think I used to go to the chapel,
just for peace and quiet,
you know, so...
But then I still had to go to Ireland
and talk to Maria's dad
and ask for her hand.
- By then you were baptized.
- Yeah.
- I think that was a big concern for my family.
- Yeah.
We got married
December 26, 1964.
I told Maria, I said,
"Would you like to go to the States?"
It was a big step,
but, you know, I was willing
to go anywhere Bob was going.
Yeah.
Ann was born May 9, 1966.
Yeah, a bundle of joy, really.
- She really was.
- Yeah.
'Cause Bob was working
12 hours a day.
We'd get dressed up,
and we'd go outside
and wait for Bob
when he was coming home.
Oh, she'd say, "Hi, Daddy,"
and give me a hug
and kiss, you know.
She was a perfect
little lady, you know.
You could take her anyplace.
In her own little way,
she was taking care of me.
So then I went to work
one day a week,
and then we decided
we'd buy a house... this one.
This one here.
The one and only house we got.
I was raised a really
strict Catholic in Ireland.
I mean, that was our life.
Yeah, and...
There is no other religion.
I thought she was a shining example
of a good Catholic
who had faith in her religion
whether I accepted all the beliefs
of the Catholic Church or not.
But I believed something...
And, you know, you raise
your kids that way, you know.
That was part of our life.
- It was our life, actually.
- It was.
and, you know, comfort, I guess.
Some people are born
to be leaders,
some people are born to follow,
et cetera, you know.
I like helping people,
and, as one of my priest
friends said to me once,
he said, "You're a people person. "
And I think that helped a lot to say,
"Hey, I finally reached what...
or I'd like to do.
"I think this is what I want to do.
I think this is
what I'm called to do. "
I like to be with people.
I felt I was good with people.
I felt I was good with children.
Why did I...
Why do I like children so much?
What do I want to do for them?
I feel compassionate to children
that I see sort of cornered and...
who image what I was
when I was their age
and did not have
somebody to turn to.
I tend to want to reach out
to people like that.
First time we met him was in 1971.
I was so excited to meet
somebody from home.
And I'd only been here,
like, five years at that time.
He would come and spend
his days off here.
He had a really strong Irish accent
at that time,
so we used to help him
with his sermons,
and Ann would go places with him.
Ann Jyono.
Little Ann... Ann was one
of the first people I met there,
or at least her parents.
Her mother was Irish,
father was Japanese...
of Japanese extraction, I think...
