Martha and Mary: The Present and Future Life
About this episode
Fr. Eric Nicolai delivers a meditation on the spiritual significance of the story of Martha and Mary, using the imagery of a river to illustrate life's flow and energy.
A meditation preached by Fr. Eric Nicolai at Ernescliff College, Toronto, on July 14, 2026. Sitting in front of the Saint Lawrence River, seeing all that water pass by, sometimes calm, other times more agitated. All that water is going to a hydroelectric dam, where it will go through turbines to generate much energy. That daily flow looks peaceful, even tranquil, yet carries with it great energy. All our activities in our life, our work, our stress- they are like that river, flowing, but they must all go through turbines to serve as sources of good supernatural energy. It is an image of what we see in the account of Martha and Mary, in Luke. Music: pulsebox-piano-music-cinematic-552722 Thumbnail: Hydroelectric Power Dam
