Episode Details

Deacon Thady is joined by Deacon David Cooney from Sliabh gCua in Waterford for the second part of his story. David picks up from around the year 2000, describing a period of physical and spiritual healing after years of difficulty surrounding his son Michael’s illness. He speaks about his parish’s early adoption of the Divine Mercy devotion, his growing closeness to St. Joseph as a model of faithful, no-nonsense fatherhood, running three full marathons, completing an engineering degree in Waterford, and the gradual convergence of an inner prompting with external encouragement from priests and parishioners that eventually led him to approach the bishop about the diaconate. His wife’s initial resistance and eventual change of heart form one of the most warmly human moments of the conversation.
