A meditation preached by Fr. Eric Nicolai at Hawthorn School for Girls in Toronto, on October 19, 2022. Pope John XXIII made the prophetic decision to call an Ecumenical council in 1962. Paul VI brought it to completion. Pope John Paul II then figured out how to apply it all. During the Jubilee in 2000, he reiterated some of the essential teaching so of the council. One of these that he found particularly amazing was the universal call to sanctity, as seen in Lumen Gentium.

Music: Carlos Gardel, Soledad, arranged for guitar by Bert Alink
