In this episode of Deacon Speakin’, Deacon Rick and Deacon Todd lead a deep and compassionate conversation on the meaning of the sacraments, the importance of baptism within the life of the family and the Church, and the responsibility we share in nurturing faith across generations. The discussion addresses common questions from grandparents about baptizing grandchildren, clarifying why baptism is meant to be a public, communal celebration rather than a private or secret act, except in true emergencies. The episode then moves into a thoughtful and pastoral reflection on God’s mercy toward unborn children, miscarriages, and those who struggle with mental illness and despair. In a powerful and honest segment on suicide, the Deacons emphasize hope, compassion, and the need for presence, conversation, and professional help, reminding listeners that faith and mental health care work together—not against each other. Drawing on Scripture, the witness of the saints, and lived experience, the episode closes with a call to let our light shine through small acts of kindness, attentive love, and trust in God’s abiding presence in every season of life.
