Episode description
A meditation by Fr. Eric Nicolai preached at Lyncroft Centre in Toronto, June 7 2025.
There is this incredible line in St. Paul in which he speaks of having the same sentiments that Christ Jesus had (cf. Phil 2:5).
“Have among yourselves the same attitude that is also yours in Christ Jesus, Who, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God something to be grasped. Rather, he emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, coming in human likeness; and found human in appearance, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, even death on a cross.”
To empty ourselves like Christ, we must step down from our throne of self-importance.
Music: Original track by Michael Lee of Toronto.
