Episode description
A meditation preached by Fr. Eric Nicolai in a parish in Fort Alexander, Manitoba on August 7 2023.
There are traces of subtle humour in the Gospel. There is a touching moment when the Lord heals the blind man, somewhat gradually, testing him like a doctor might.
Matt 8, 22-36 Do you see anything? Looking up, the man replied, “I see people looking like trees and walking”.
Trees walking? What did he actually see?
