HYMN - "WE STAND ON HOLY GROUND" © Mike Anderson
There is a beautiful hymn written by Martin Nystrom that begins, “As the deer pants for water so my soul longs after you”. It is a haunting melody that suits a flute and acoustic guitar in particular. The hymn tells of the thirst for the love of God that haunts every soul and, if not satisfied, creates a longing and pain worse than any dire thirst.Text. Message to Deacon Tom

FIRST Sunday LENT
READING 1 Genesis 2.7-9, 3.1 GOSPEL Matt 4.1-11
READING 2 Rom 5.12,17-1
In the Genesis story heard today the ancient writers have provided us with material for meditation on the timeless questions of sin, rebellion, salvation and the unique nature of humanity being created in the image of God.
In the Gospel Matthew allows us to struggle with Jesus so that we all learn the truth. There are three parts to this ,‘one on one combat', like a martial arts black belt contest between skilled opponents. In reality, this is more like an inner struggle with Jesus looking for God’s answers as he sifts through all the voices he has heard......

"LET THE SPIRIT COME DOWN" , COPYRIGHT M. Anderson
In Sir Walter Scott’s Ivanhoe, the medieval knight from whom the novel is named, praises the idea of chivalry to the book’s heroine Rebecca. Chivalry, according to Ivanhoe, is, ”the stay of the oppressed, the redresser of grievances, the curb of the power of the tyrant.”

About PERMANENT DEACON TALKING
From the publisher's feed
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.
