He Dwells in our Soul as in a Mansion
About this episode
Fr. Eric Nicolai discusses the concept of the soul as a dwelling place for God in this meditation episode.
Meditation by Fr. Eric Nicolai on May 4th, 2026 at Ernescliff College, Toronto. John 14, 23-26 : ‘If anyone loves me he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we shall come to him and make our home with him. The image that we, our soul, is like a dwelling place for God. The Lord says we shall come to dwell in us, like in a home, a castle, a mansion. He desires to find a beautiful place, a oul made for him, a soul that is fit for him, with an interior cleanliness. He sees you and me now, in our purpose, our inner person—mind, heart, desires, conscience, wounds, and hopes—not just outward behavior. He says we want to come. That action of the holy Trinity that comes to defend us, to be our advocate. He has many things to tell us. Music: Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra Thumbnail: Neuschwanstein in winter in Germany
