A meditation by Fr. Eric Nicolai in Lyncroft centre in Toronto, preached on August 2, 2025, on the invitation to contemplation. We start with the scene of the transfiguration on Mount Tabor, where Peter is so captivated that he says: It is good that we are here. (Mark 9, 5)

Domine, bonum est nos hic esse.

What is the light that we must see to be dazzled in our contemplation of the divine?

Music: Original track by Michael Lee of Toronto.
