Permanent Deacon Talking  is a compilation sort of podcast of spiritual thoughts , prayers and homilies for Sundays.  It started with inspiration from Fr Dan Crosby OFM.Cap.  Each HOMILY POD is based  on the Sunday Mass readings and the purpose is to provide an opportunity to sound out reflections on these, wherever they come from. Each week the scriptures offer a new  place  to invite the Holy Spirit once more into our lives to explain the Word of God in our hearts and minds. The music is for reflection, to give thanks and sometimes just pure  joy. It might be helpful to spend a minute or two with the Sunday readings before listening in order to let anything there touch your heart and speak to you personally, deep in your soul. Sound clips are used with permission of Learn25, The Thomas Merton Centre, and The Merton Legacy Trust. Learn25 are also the original copyright holders of many recordings made by Fr Dan Crosby and Fr Donald Goergen. These can be heard at Learn25.com.  Thank you Mike Anderson , in particular,  for Tongues of Fire  music ministry, which has never been far from my  thoughts when it comes to perfect music for Mass.

    EASTER WEEK 7 -YEAR A - The Best Definition of the Holy Spirit

    Seventh Sunday of Easter.   Year A                                                       1st Reading ACTS 1: 12-14  Gospel JOHN 17:1-11                     The two excerpts chosen from todays scripture are very important in understanding the Ascension and how we could react to it with love, truth and joy like the Apostles and Mary. This is a time of ending and a time of new beginning and both can be stressful even traumatic. Luke chose the Ascension to be the last event in his Gospel and the first point in his account of the Acts of the Apostles, showing how significant this time after the Resurrection is to Mary and the 11 Apostles who are all named here. Mary makes the Apostles into a whole group again their number being 12 once more. In many ways we look at Mary during May, particularly with pilgrimages to Lourdes being planned and completed. She is the one who completes our journey to Jesus. She has been with him every step of the way and beyond. Today we still see her as one who can support us in  times of stress or family struggles, in sickness and in health providing a means of prayer and intercession. Lets not forget Our Blessed Lady was present with Jesus in all of this. Text. Message to Deacon Tom Deacon Tom Copyright © 2022 -2026  I  sincerly hope that no copyright has been infringed.

    EASTER TWO - THOMAS

    Gospel  John 20:19-31  (sundaygospel.co.uk)  Opening Prayer -  Fr Don on the Universe                  Why did Thomas, the  faithful servant and disciple of Christ cry out from the depth of his love:               “ You are my Lord and my God!”. Where does this faith come from? Some people say that Faith is a gift. Some have it  and  others, for some reason have not been given this gift. I think we need to be wary of thinking that  because it can lead to elitism. I am better than , or I am  specially selected or they don’t deserve  this gift. Wouldn’t it be like forcing someone to love? It cannot be done. Love has to be given and received freely to be true love.Doesn’t faith have to be given and received freely in order to be true faith.?
