Day 39: St. Joseph is the Real “Quiet Man”
March 17 is a time to watch, yet again, John Wayne and Maureen O’Hara in The Quiet Man, an overly idealized view of 1920s Ireland.

In the Transfiguration, Jesus appears dazzlingly as all colors. White light is a mixture of all colors. His disciples saw him for who and what he really was, and is. Jesus is all colors. Jesus speaks with Moses and Elijah, something like a presidential candidate being visited by George Washington and Martin Luther King, Jr. A theophany thunders: “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.”
