About this episode
Fr. Eric Nicolai reflects on the virtues of fortitude, resilience, and courage in a meditation honoring Pope Paul VI.
Meditation by Fr. Eric Nicolai at Ellentor Centre in Toronto, May 29, 2026. Today is the memorial of Pope Paul VI, Giovanni Battista Montini, a man of courage in a time of upheaval. Gen 12, 1-16: God speaks to Abraham: leave your country, your family, and go to the country I will tell you. So he responded by going to that unknown country. He was open to what God wanted. It took courage and fortitude and magnanimity to undertake such a massive task, to be the father of a nation. We need this human virtue of fortitude, but it must also be supernatural, done out of love. Music: Mulvey Awakening
