A meditation preached by Fr. Eric Nicolai on April 27, 2025 at Lyncroft Centre in Toronto.

John 20, 21-23: After saying this he breathed on them and said:

‘Receive the Holy Spirit. For those whose sins you forgive,they are forgiven; for those whose sins you retain, they are retained.’

He had to breathe on them to give them that power. The breath of the Holy Spirit, like a sweet aroma that touched them, that they breathed in, and somehow stayed in them as a supernatural power.

Music: Original track by Michael Lee of Toronto.
