This is a treasure of a talk by Pádrig Ó Tuama. His approach appears calm and casual, the impact is profound. I agree that his talks are well worth seeing again and again. Peace and challenge and a sense of sweet power. He uses his "perfect speaking voice" like a secret weapon.
A friend recently asked what I'm doing to nourish myself during these dark, frightening days in the US, 2017. One of the things I'm doing is listening to You Tubes of Pádraig ´O Tuama. Over and over again.
Alison Clement the dark and troubled times we are in have always been with us, have noting to do with the vissiitudes of who occupies the White House and everything to do with turning from God.
@@Oculoustuos I don't know what that means. What is" God"? How do we define? It's been 2 years since you left your comment. it's completely mysterious.
@@meghan42 Alison referred to 2017 as dark and troubled times! How about 2020 and 2021? But to reply to your comment to me: God is not a “what” and in defining God one can only say words that are incomprehensible. Of course, if one seeks to define God, what one says about God can do virtually nothing in defining God. But let me say something anyway: God is no thing whatsoever. God is the creator of all things. God is supremely good, all powerful, omnipresent yet contained by nothing. God is Love. God is personable. God relates to all things and every person can relate to God. God sustains all being and is not sustained by anything. Faith in God is God’s gift to those asking. There are not enough books speaking of God. Any speech of God does not approach God , the unknowable. While God is not anything in any sense of the word, God does relate to us. One can believe or not.
The faithful must deal with a heavy burden when facing their truth, I think. So while I’m not a believer, I have respect for a faithful person who is courageous enough to live in their Truth. It comes at great cost while they’re working it out....work that continues when additional conflict comes...and it will...it always does.... Much like overcoming an abusive childhood....an addiction....an affliction like depression....all these things require a repeated “overcoming”...from one day to the next....in a long life.
I feel sorry for all the people watching Netflix, sorry I do not mean to judge more of a comparison and compassion. This quiet, still listening that we can engage with here is most lovely.

Every one has desire for complementarity (completeness, if you will). Outside marriage between one man and one woman, all Sexual desire must be eschewed.

In the days of COVID-19, listening to Pádrig Ó Tuama feels sacred and calming and prayerful and nourishing and like a beautiful reminder of community.

The cross can be bitter. The cross can be embraced and loved.
The poem in the name of, does that not sound like a Leonard Cohen song. Should’ve been. Maybe someone can make it one of their own.
I'll start working on it ha!

Biology is not incidental.
Courage is having same sex desire/orientation and not consenting to it.
As is not consenting to opposite sex desire? The temptation of incompleteness when God made us complete is the same for all.

I love this man but he makes too light of perversity.
I agree... but taking in the good only
What do you think perversity is?
