We celebrated on a Sunday the Transfiguration which is also always the anniversary of the dropping of the First Atomic Bomb on Hiroshima. The key thing is not that they dropped one but two. On August 9, 1945 the US dropped another on Nagasaki. You may have heard me tell the story of St. Maximillian Kolbe in 1933 going to Nagasaki to build a monastery there. The Japanese government offered him a parcel of land in the downtown area. He made the off-hand comment that he could not build it there because the fireball was coming there and ended up building it behind a mount in the same city. That provided great protection from the second atomic bomb.
