SOUNDS LIKE SUNDAY
SOUNDS LIKE SUNDAY with Deacon Tom Simms ~ is a compilation sort of podcast of spiritual thoughts , prayers and worship for Sundays. I have no original ideas or new thoughts to tell. I simply act as a 'Good News Salvage Hunter'. I scour old books and the world wide web for items to restore, refurbish and retell. They are not certificated by the Catholic Church or backed by any official Vatican credentials, and there is no claim to originality my part. It started with inspiration from Fr Dan Crosby OFM.Cap ,Fr Dan Goergen O.P.,Ph.D and music created by Mike Anderson. The talking is based on the Sunday Mass readings. The purpose was to provide an opportunity for my own reflection on the Gospels. The aim is to provide the listener an opportunity to invite the Holy Spirit once more into our busy lives. There is no pressure here. Relax, you are in charge. Allow the words and music and the peace of creation to speak to your heart. Blessed Solanus's Spiritual Communion and the contributions from Now You Know Media I have found to be invaluable in my own situation and I hope they may help you. It might be helpful to spend a minute or two with the Sunday readings before listening in order to let anything there touch your heart and speak to you personally, deep in your soul. The wonderful music are the Hymns of Mike Anderson, who along with everyone involved has given full permission for personal works to be included for the benefit of all. Clips of Thomas Merton are used with permission by Learn25, The Thomas Merton Centre, and The Merton Legacy Trust. Here more recordings at Merton Talkscom. Learn25 are also the original copyright holders of many recordings made by Fr Dan Crosby and Fr Donald Goergen. These can be heard at Learn25.com. They are the inspiration for the occasional Interviews which provide moments to ponder on the depth of what has been said by our guests. e.g.. Fr Dan Crosby joined with me in the virtual interview to discuss Blessed Solanus Casey ~So watch this space and fill up your soul with a smile, a prayer and some super music. Thank you for listening,Deacon Tom Simms talking. The original title "Permanent Deacon Talking " has been changed to SOUNDS LIKE SUNDAY in order to avoid any confusion that this podcast is endorsed by anyone from any religious hierarchy.
