PERMANENT DEACON TALKING
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.

Gospel
John 2:1-11
‘This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee.’
At that time: There was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. Jesus also was invited to the wedding with his disciples. When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to him, ‘They have no wine.’ And Jesus said to her, ‘Woman, what does this have to do with me? My hour has not yet come.’ His mother said to the servants, ‘Do whatever he tells you.
Fr Richard Rohr writes that with scripture signs like the Wedding at Cana, we have to move away from, 'How did this happen?', towards, 'What can we discover spiritually from this episode?'
‘ I think it is worth the effort to let some things go , we don't need to know everything. Some answers are just not available, this is the fun of mystery. Sometimes we need to "allow God to be mystery".
