Feb 9 – The Fugitive (1947)
Directed by John Ford • Starring Henry Fonda, Dolores del Río, Pedro Armendáriz
Based on Graham Greene’s The Power and the Glory
⭐ Why This Film Matters
A stark, poetic meditation on faith under persecution, The Fugitive stands apart in Ford’s filmography. Shot in Mexico with Gabriel Figueroa’s luminous cinematography, it blends Catholic martyrdom, political oppression, and Ford’s signature humanism into a haunting parable.
Plot Snapshot
- In an unnamed Latin American country where Catholicism has been outlawed, a nameless priest (Henry Fonda) becomes the last cleric still inside the borders.
- Hunted by a militant, atheist police lieutenant (Pedro Armendáriz), he tries to flee but is repeatedly drawn back to the people who need him—especially a marginalized woman, María Dolores, who seeks baptism for her child.
- A Judas-like informant betrays him, leading to his capture and execution.
- The film ends not in despair but in quiet resurrection: another priest arrives, suggesting the faith cannot be extinguished.
Themes to Watch
1. Martyrdom & the Hidden Priesthood
The priest is flawed, frightened, and ordinary—yet grace works through his weakness. Greene’s theology is unmistakable: sanctity emerges not from perfection but from fidelity under pressure.
2. The Cristero Echo
Though unnamed, the setting mirrors Mexico’s 1920s anti-Catholic persecutions. Ford’s film becomes a cinematic Stations of the Cross—dust, silence, betrayal, and final surrender.
3. Beauty as Resistance
Figueroa’s chiaroscuro images turn the priest’s suffering into something iconographic. Even the ruined church becomes a sanctuary of meaning.
Catholic Reflection
- The priest’s anonymity mirrors the hidden Christ in the Eucharist—present, vulnerable, and easily rejected.
- Maria Dolores embodies the Church of the poor: loyal, grateful, and willing to risk everything for sacramental life.
- The Judas figure reminds us that betrayal is always personal, yet forgiveness is always possible.
- The final scene—a new priest arriving—quietly proclaims the indestructibility of the Church.
This is a perfect film for meditation on the cost of discipleship, especially in your broader devotional and formation work.
Hospitality Pairing (Classic & Thematic)
Drink: Mezcal Old Fashioned
A nod to the film’s Mexican setting and its smoky, austere tone.
- Mezcal
- Agave syrup
- Bitters
- Orange peel
Serve in a simple glass—minimalist, monastic, elemental.
Meal: Frijoles de la Olla with warm tortillas
Humble, nourishing, peasant food—exactly the kind of meal the priest might have shared with villagers.
Optional Discussion Questions
- What does the film suggest about the relationship between weakness and holiness?
- How does Ford use light and shadow to communicate spiritual truth?
- In what ways does the lieutenant represent a modern, ideological form of persecution?
- How does the ending reframe the priest’s death?
Below is a polished post‑reflection for The Fugitive (1947), written in the same voice and cadence as your other film‑calendar entries—quietly incisive, morally observant, and thematically integrated.
Post‑Reflection — The Fugitive (1947)
There’s an irony tucked inside this film that becomes clearer the longer you sit with it. Henry Fonda—cinema’s perennial conscience, the man who specialized in quiet integrity—plays a hunted priest whose holiness is almost accidental. He is timid, flawed, and frightened, yet grace keeps dragging him back into the lives of the people who need him. His sanctity is the kind that grows in the shadows.
And then you remember his daughter.
Jane Fonda’s public life has been the opposite of her father’s screen persona: loud where he was restrained, ideological where he was introspective, confrontational where he was contemplative. In temperament and posture, she resembles Pedro Armendáriz’s lieutenant far more than the nameless priest—driven, public, determined to reshape the world through force of will.
It’s not a moral comparison. It’s an archetypal one.
Henry Fonda’s priest embodies the interior life—the man who suffers quietly, who carries his duty like a hidden flame.
Armendáriz’s lieutenant embodies the activist life—the one who believes the world must be remade through pressure, ideology, and public struggle.
Jane Fonda’s real‑world arc simply aligns more with the latter than the former.
And that contrast becomes a small parable in itself.
Families don’t reproduce virtues; they reproduce tensions. Children often rebel against the myth their parents embodied. The priest’s anonymity and humility stand in stark contrast to the lieutenant’s ideological certainty—and that same tension plays out in the Fonda family across generations.
In the end, The Fugitive reminds us that holiness is rarely inherited and never loud. It grows in the cracks, in the hidden corners, in the places where no one is applauding. The priest dies forgotten, yet the faith continues. The lieutenant burns with conviction, yet his world is already fading.
The film leaves you with a simple truth:
The loudest forces in history are rarely the ones that endure.

Introduction to Leviticus
Leviticus[1] begins, Moses has just led the
Israelites out of Egypt in one of the
most exciting adventures of all time.
Burning Bush. Amazing plagues. A march through the sea. Meeting God on a
mountain. So, after all that, there's only one thing a red-hot writer can do
when folks are begging for more. Give the people what they want—twenty-four
chapters filled with lists of laws, along with a couple blink-and-they're gone
stories where people die because they sinned. Hmmm.
At first glance, Leviticus would seem to be The Phantom Menace of the Bible, just with purity rules and animal sacrifice instead of the taxation of trade routes. And you know what? Our response to Leviticus isn't just a modern one. Way back in the 2nd century CE, an influential Christian theologian named Origen wrote:
Provide someone with a reading from Leviticus and at once the
listener will gag and push it away as if were some bizarre food. He came, after
all, to learn how to honor God, to take in the teachings that concern justice
and piety. But instead he is now hearing about the ritual of burnt sacrifices!
The thing is, unlike Jar
Jar Binks, Leviticus was indeed what the people wanted. It was a way for people
to make sense of everyday life. Violence, community, money, power—even if the
Bible doesn't always match our own sense of what's right, it definitely
provided answers for the masses back in the day. Remember, this was a world
where sacrificing animals taught the importance of respecting animal life. A
ban on tattoos helped curb slavery. Being fair in business meant forcing people
to give back what they've bought. And laws on sexual intercourse—well, those
might not have actually been about sex at all. So, as you roam around
Leviticus, remember to check your preconceptions at the giant curtain that is
the Tabernacle's door. These boring laws are biblical Transformers—much more
than meets the eye.
Why Should I Care?
Gay rights. Immigrant
rights. Atheism. And yes, even vampires and child sacrifice. Leviticus might
have been written for goat herders and farmers more than 2500 years ago, but in
recent years, it has moved from the margins to the mainstream in pop culture
and political debates.
Yet for all the t-shirts,
internet memes, magazine essays, and YouTube videos using quotes from Leviticus
to make their point, how all these verses fit together can be as hard to figure
out as why God thinks it's an abomination to wear a polyester-cotton blend.
Sure, it's a steep mountain to climb, but it's worth it. Leviticus is a
treasure trove of rich ideas that are all the more valuable because only a
clever few dare to find them.
Books from Dracula to The Hunger Games
have built on images from Leviticus to create compelling (and
not-so-compelling) worlds.
A co-founder of PayPal
and early investor in Facebook used insights from Leviticus to build a
billion-dollar empire and promote social change.
Long before Xbox and
smart phones, Leviticus used virtual space and gaming to map out new strategies
for day-to-day life.
New generations of readers are discovering that what Leviticus says about ethics, community and scientific progress may not be as archaic as it seems.
So, come on. Let's crack
open the doors of this sealed chamber and light up the place with a little
strange fire. Pretty soon everyone will marvel at your level-12 literary
intelligence when you show them that the so-called most boring book of the
Bible is actually more than just a bunch of dusty old rules about cows and pigs
and sacrifices and why sex is eeeeeeeevil.
February 9 Monday
Holy Face Novena-Marriage Week-Pizza Day
You shall not insult the deaf, or
put a stumbling block in front of the blind, but you shall FEAR your God. I am the LORD.
Be
like your Heavenly Father; God is not a bully. Christ was often confronted by
the bullies of his time. When the
Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together, and
one of them [a scholar of the law] tested him by asking, “Teacher,
which commandment in the law is the greatest?” He said to him, “You
shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and
with all your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. The second
is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. The whole law
and the prophets depend on these two commandments.” (Mt. 22:34-40)
The
modern world attempts to bully the faithful into abandoning their relationship
with the Lord. Saint Pope Pius X was a pope, who resisted the bullying of the
modern world by establishing an oath against modernism[2].
The crux of this oath has five main points:
I
profess that God is the origin and end of all things.
I
accept and acknowledge the external proofs of revelation, that is, divine acts
and especially miracles and prophecies as the surest signs of the divine origin
of the Christian religion.
I
believe with equally firm faith that the Church, the guardian and teacher of
the revealed word, was personally instituted by the real and historical Christ.
I
sincerely hold that the doctrine of faith was handed down to us from the
apostles through the orthodox Fathers in exactly the same meaning and always in
the same purport.
I
hold with certainty and sincerely confess that faith is not a blind sentiment
of religion welling up from the depths of the subconscious under the impulse of
the heart and the motion of a will trained to morality; but faith is a genuine
assent of the intellect to truth.
Another way the
world and the modernist clerics are attempting to put blinders on us is to
bully us into being okay with transgenderism. There is even an International Transgender Day
of Visibility.
This is what the catechism of the church states on this subject.[3]
Note as of this date the USCCB has made no statement on the Transgender shooter in Tennessee. One wonders—maybe they are into National Tater Day or Cesar Chavez Day.
Sexual
Identity
(No.
2333) “Everyone, man and woman, should acknowledge and accept his sexual
identity. Physical, moral, and spiritual difference and complementarity are
oriented toward the goods of marriage and the flourishing of family life. The
harmony of the couple and of society depends in part on the way in which the
complementarity, needs, and mutual support between the sexes are lived out.”
(No.
2393) “By creating the human being man and woman, God gives personal dignity
equally to the one and the other. Each of them, man and woman, should
acknowledge and accept his sexual identity.”
Body and
Soul
(No. 364)
“The human body shares in the dignity of "the image of God": it is a
human body precisely because it is animated by a spiritual soul, and it is the
whole human person that is intended to become, in the body of Christ, a temple
of the Spirit: Man, though made of body and soul, is a unity. Through his very
bodily condition he sums up in himself the elements of the material world.
Through him they are thus brought to their highest perfection and can raise
their voice in praise freely given to the Creator. For this reason man may not
despise his bodily life. Rather he is obliged to regard his body as good and to
hold it in honor since God has created it and will raise it up on the last
day.”
Modesty
(No.
2521) “Purity requires modesty, an integral part of temperance. Modesty
protects the intimate center of the person. It means refusing to unveil what
should remain hidden. It is ordered to chastity to whose sensitivity it bears
witness. It guides how one looks at others and behaves toward them in
conformity with the dignity of persons and their solidarity.”
(No.
2522) “Modesty protects the mystery of persons and their love… Modesty is
decency. It inspires one's choice of clothing. It keeps silence or reserve
where there is evident risk of unhealthy curiosity. It is discreet.”
(No.
2523) “There is a modesty of the feelings as well as of the body. It protests,
for example, against the voyeuristic explorations of the human body in certain
advertisements, or against the solicitations of certain media that go too far
in the exhibition of intimate things. Modesty inspires a way of life which
makes it possible to resist the allurements of fashion and the pressures of
prevailing ideologies.” Updated August 7, 2019 2
Privacy
(No.
1907) “First, the common good presupposes respect for the person as such. In
the name of the common good, public authorities are bound to respect the
fundamental and inalienable rights of the human person. Society should permit
each of its members to fulfill his vocation. In particular, the common good
resides in the conditions for the exercise of the natural freedoms
indispensable for the development of the human vocation, such as ‘the right to
act according to a sound norm of conscience and to safeguard . . . privacy, and
rightful freedom also in matters of religion.’”
Mutilation
(No.
2297) “Except when performed for strictly therapeutic medical reasons, directly
intended amputations, mutilations, and sterilizations performed on innocent
persons are against the moral law.”
DAILY PREPARATORY PRAYER
Most Holy and Blessed Trinity, through the
intercession of Holy Mary, whose soul was pierced through by a sword of sorrow
at the sight of the passion of her Divine Son, we ask your help in making a
perfect Novena of reparation with Jesus, united with all His sorrows, love and
total abandonment.
Face, O Jesus, grant us our petition Pardon and mercy.
Come, Holy Spirit, Sanctifier, all powerful God of love, Thou who didst fill the Virgin Mary with grace, Thou who didst wonderfully transform the hearts of the apostles. Thou who didst endow all Thy martyrs with a miraculous heroism, come and sanctify us, illumine our minds, strengthen our wills, purify our consciences, rectify our judgments, set our hearts on fire and preserve us from the misfortune of resisting Thine inspirations. We consecrate to Thee our understanding, our heart and our will, our whole being for time and for eternity. May our understanding be always submissive to Thy heavenly inspirations and to the teachings of Thy Holy Catholic Church, of which Thou art the infallible guide; may our heart be ever inflamed with love of God and neighbor, may our will be ever conformed to the divine will, and may our whole life be a faithful imitation of the life and virtues of our Lord and Savior. Jesus Christ, to whom with the Father and Thee be honor and glory forever. Amen. Pray one (1) Our Father, three (3) Hail Mary's, one (1) Glory Be. O Bleeding Face, O Face Divine, be every adoration Thine. (Three times)
Woman's
nature is admirably adapted to her functions as wife and mother. The
responsibilities of the family develop her powers and mature her spiritually,
mentally, and physically.
Spiritually,
a woman becomes mature through surrender, through finding the particular role
in which she can accomplish her total dedication to God. The young woman who
has found her vocation in life in marriage and is wholly given to her task of
bringing her family to God is a mature person whatever her age. She will have
that air of serenity and peace which are the sign of the basic fulfillment of
her being. The woman who has never surrendered wholeheartedly to any purpose
outside herself remains immature all her life, like a bud which never unfolds
itself. In marriage, woman can develop a spirit of selflessness which makes her
dedication deeper and richer with the years. Her service to her family both
expresses her love of God and increases her power of loving. The woman who has
no outlet for her love, no one for whom she can spend herself, is apt to become
hard, bitter, selfish, because she has no one but herself to consider. The
woman who is constantly concerned with the needs of her family can unfold the
qualities of love, tenderness, and unselfish devotion which make her truly
great and truly happy.
Mentally,
a woman's mind matures under the stimulus of the varied practical activities
she performs for those she loves. In the concrete, living experience of the
family, she can develop sound judgment and a keen insight into human nature.
Lombroso's observation can readily be verified. "The mother of a large
family who has had no time to study, having been occupied with her children and
her household, has more life, more breadth of ideas, than the old maid of the
same age who has done nothing else than to potter about at universities and
libraries." The responsibilities of her family life exercise all woman's
mental powers. Her intuition and powers of observation are called into play
constantly to discover the unexpressed desires of her family, particularly the
needs of the helpless child. She has need of her intuition, too, as well as her
tact, to help her solve the hundred problems of human relations and practical
affairs that arise in the course of her day. Providing for the family helps to
develop woman's natural ingenuity and inventiveness. It is to the ingenuity of
women intent on meeting the needs of their families that we owe the discovery
of many of the most important arts: horticulture, for example, the creative
arts of weaving, pottery, basketry; the domestic arts of food preparation and
preservation; the uses of medicinal herbs in healing.
Physically,
too, marriage and childbearing represent a development and completion for the
normal woman, giving her new beauty and vitality. The mother of a large family
experiences a physical fulfillment with the birth of each child which gives her
fresh vigor and health. Dr. Alexis Carrell observes that women attain their
full development as a rule only after the birth of several children. He writes
in Man the Unknown: "Women who have no children are not so well
balanced and become more nervous than the others. The importance to woman of
the generative function has not been sufficiently recognized. Such function is
indispensable to her optimum development. It is therefore absurd to turn women
against maternity."

Idolatry
and Adultery
Fr. Mike explains the relationship between idolatry and adultery, and how one
can easily lead to another, especially in our relationship with God. He also
talks about the difference between discipline and abuse, as we cover some tough
topics today. Today's readings are Isaiah 65, Ezekiel 23-24, and Proverbs 13:21-25.
National Pizza Day[5]
National
Pizza Day is dedicated to appreciating pizza, a baked flatbread that is topped
with tomato sauce and cheese. Many toppings and sauces can be added to
pizzas, including vegetables, meats and seafood. Pizza was invented in
Naples, Italy around the 10th century, and has since grown to become one of the
most popular foods in America. In 1905, America’s first pizzeria, Lombardi’s,
opened in New York. Since then, pizza consumption in America has
increased greatly and many pizza chains, such as Pizza Hut, Domino’s and Papa
John’s have emerged. The origin of National Pizza Day is not well understood
although accounts of National Pizza Day began to emerge around the 2000s.
