Permanent Deacon Tom Speaking
Permanent Deacon Tom Speaking is a compilation sort of podcast of spiritual thoughts , prayers and homilies for Sundays. It started with inspiration from Fr Dan Crosby OFM.Cap. The homily I choose 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 heart and mind. The music is for reflection and sometimes 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.
