The first step is to convert your literal \markup expression to
scheme. Then substitue the part that should change with a variable name,
finally wrap this expression inside a define-markup-command expression.
The argument to your \deacon command, a markup, will be the justified
part.
#(define-markup-command (deacon layout props what-is-said)
(markup?)
(interpret-markup layout props
(markup #:pad-markup 3
#:large #:line (#:hspace 9
#:with-color (x11-color 'firebrick) #:italic
"Deacon:"
#:override '(line-width . 60) what-is-said))))
\markup \deacon \justify {
What the deacon says.
}
