Enter into the Wounds of Christ

A meditation preached by Fr. Eric Nicolai at Lyncroft Centre in Toronto on March 1, 2025.

The ancient hymn that I have heard you sing so beautifully right here is the Anima Christi, the soul of Christ.

O bone Jesu, exaudi me. Intra tua vulnera absconde me. Ne permittas me separari a te.

O good Jesus, hear me. Within your wounds conceal me. Do not permit me to be parted from you.

The wounds of Christ, a sign of the intensity of His love for us. They would not heal if he had not risen. What do they mean for us today?

Music: Original music by Michael Lee of Toronto.
