A meditation preached by Fr. Eric Nicolai at Hawthorn School in Toronto, on January 23, 2025.

There is one line by St. Josemaria that might encapsulate a mystery, and a mission. A fundamental truth that is both very clear, yet very mysterious. Both exciting and scary. Something that applies to all of us and is clear as the day, but is interpreted as not really applying to us, but just to a few.

There is something holy, something divine, hidden in the most ordinary situations (Conversations, 114)

It is that something that is still mysterious, still not fully articulated, perhaps vague or tenuous that we still need to bring to life, and apply to ourselves today with hope.
