Jesus has power over the Demoniac and over us
About this episode
Fr. Eric Nicolai discusses the authority of Jesus and the restoration of the demoniacs in a meditation at Kintore College.
A meditation preached by Fr. Eric Nicolai at Kintore College in Toronto, on July 1, 2026. (new audio file with proper editing uploaded July 2) An account of the two demoniacs of the Gerasenes in Matthew 8:28–34. Jesus intervened and restored them to normality, but it meant that the herd of pigs was lost. Jesus has restored something authentic in this place, but the villagers are too desensitized to see it, to perceive it. This is really about the authority of Jesus on this earth, in our work, in our day-to-day. He must really be there. Yes, he can expel the demons of indifference. Of lukewarm norms, of lack of care in fraternity. Thumbnail: The Gerasene Demoniac by Sebastian Bourdon (1653) Music: pulsebox-piano-music-cinematic-552722 no copyrigh t
