Episode Details

Merry Christmastide to all our readers and listeners from the C&SI team. We are still in the Christmas Season and of course also Happy New Year as we have passed the turn on the calendar also. 

For our international listeners just to flag that Ireland still celebrates the Feast of Epiphany on January 6th so liturgically the gospel reading on this weeks podcast is from the Second Sunday of Christmas.

A Christmas Pic' & Mix

In part 2 we have a run through a few things including the papal messages over the Christmas period, a reminder of the meaning of the 12 days of Christmas, and encouragement to read and reflect on the 2026 letter from Taize which askes the question, "What are you seeking?".
