Even though the story of the man born blind (Jn 9:1-41) is typically used as an opportunity to reflect on the reality of evil and suffering in this world, Fr. Eric focuses on how the man is rejected by other people in his efforts to evangelize them; but nonetheless is pleasing to the Lord in how he collaborates with God’s grace in this regard, despite the apparent failure of the mission. 
Topics include how we are called to be faithful, as opposed to successful; and to emphasize the importance of corresponding to the duty of the moment in ordinary circumstances, particularly as a means to help bring about the salvation of the world.

In 2021, Fr. Eric organized a three-day Lenten Mission scheduled for March 10, 17 and 24 for St. Joseph the Worker in Oshawa entitled “Freedom in Christ,” which was designed to convey some practical tips as to how live the Gospel in such a way that leads to authentic peace, joy and freedom.  Topics include “loosening the reins” in the spiritual life, rediscovering the value of structure and routine, and living in the space of God’s mercy and love.

Reflecting on the iconic story of the woman at the well (Jn 4:1-42), Fr. Eric talks about how Christ pursues us relentlessly in the midst of our own brokenness and frailty.  Topics discussed include the Lord’s tendency to lead with an appeal to our deepest desires, as opposed to the demands of the moral life; historical tensions between Jews and Samaritans at the time of Christ; and the issue of right worship.
Fr. Eric speaks also about how our being claimed by Christ can lead us out of a stance of shame, fear and embarrassment in favor of our rejoicing being loved by Him as we are; and how our underlying motivation for evangelization and sharing in the Church’s mission should be to satiate the thirst of the Good Shepherd for His lost sheep.
