About this episode

Fr. Eric Nicolai discusses the importance of listening to the Holy Spirit and being aware of God's presence amidst uncertainty.

Fr. Eric Nicolai preached this meditation at Ernescliff College on May 10, 2026. In 1932, Our Father wrote in his Intimate Notes, in a time of youth, a time with little experience, and uncertainty, and unsure of himself: Don’t speak: Listen to him. This was his attitude to the Holy Spirit. This applies to us. Some people speak a lot, and figure things out as they speak. But h ow actively do we really listen ? To others, to the HS, to our own conscience? Have I fallen to the brain fog, this dissipation, not aware that inside that cloud of unknowing , there is God, the Holy Spirit is pointing at something.
