Description
PERMANENT DEACON TALKING with Deacon Tom Simms ~ is a compilation spirituality, prayer and worship kind of Podcast.I have no original ideas or new thoughts but I act as a 'Good News Salvage Hunter'. I scour old books and the world wide web for items to restore, refurbish and retell through these homily pods. It started with inspiration from Fr Dan Crosby OFM.Cap ,Fr Dan Goergen O.P.,Ph.D and music created by Mike Anderson. The Homily Pods are based on the Sunday Mass readings. Their purpose is to provide an opportunity for reflection in order 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.The Centering prayer introduced during Advent Week Three and Blessed Solanus's Spiritual Communion I have found to be invaluable in my own situation.Adapt these as you wish.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. His work can be found on Youtube at Hymns of Mike AndersoncLClips 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 Sunday Shedpod 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 and future podcasts will include Fr Donald Goergen with his thoughts on Mother Teresa ~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

Joshua 5: 9-12 . 2 Cor 5:17-21. . Gospel Luke 15:1-32 (video available from ; sundaygospel.co.uk) The ‘Prodigal Son’ in the Gospel today has been the main point of this parable for many interpretations. I would like to use the method “Just as…. So….”, to emphasise the other brother. Just as the elder brother is bitter, so are some Christians today. Sometimes our sense of injustice and b...
Fr. James McSweeney -from 'Stepping Stones on our Spiritual Journey - Youtube What is Lent really all about? The knot of a tree gives us a clue. https://youtu.be/lon70fqE-eQ?feature=shared Gospel Luke 13:1-9 Luke is the main Gospel writer who stands up for the lowly in society. He is delicate towards women, the poor and the outcast and has earned the title, ‘the evangelist of God’s tenderness’. He tells us how Jesus was often criticised for mixing with sinners and how he responded wit...
Prayer for Ukraine -Fr. James McSweeney -from 'Stepping Stones on our Spiritual Journey - Youtube -2022 Luke 9 : 28-36 " Luke gives us a glimpse of the Risen Christ in the middle of his account of the humanity of Jesus going about his daily life on earth. Seeing the Divine in Jesus is known as ‘ Transcendence’ and Luke has a wonderful phrase “brilliant as lightening”. Seeing this is unnerving for the Apostles, particularly bringing out the sense of majesty as the light is reflected in Moses ...

Look at how the synagogue atmosphere changed.One moment they were astonished by the gracious words that came fromJesus and the next time he spoke they were enraged? The people seemed to want some kind off proof as the murmmurings began. Questions of doubt and opposition were whispered.”Isn’t this Joseph’s son?. Jesus could always read the mood of a crowd and knew he was expected to perform, “to dance” as Richard Rohr puts it. In fact he suggests opposition was forming even as Jesus was readin...
Bl. Solanus Casey was born Bernard Francis Casey on Nov. 25, 1870 on a farm near Oak Grove, Wisconsin along the Mississippi River. He was the sixth child in a family of ten boys and six girls born to Irish immigrant parents. One of the keynotes of Bl. Solanus’ spirituality might be an Attitude of Gratitude which he called “the first sign of a thinking, rational creature.” The prayer of “Thanks be to God” poured continually from his lips. “Love for God and neighbour” is another...

THOMAS MERTON ; In his own words. Trappist monk and author of such bestselling works as 'The Seven Storey Mountain, New Seeds of Contemplation and my favourite 'Life and Holiness' Perhaps one of the 20thCentury's greatest mystics. This light hearted glimpse in the Shedpod interview allows him to help with some complex issues as well as a chance to experience his style of teaching. If you are thinking of reading one of his books from the mid- century then th...
My guest for this Sunday Shedpod Interview is from an Oxford & Cambridge literary background and was played in the superb , Shadowlands, by Sir Anthony Hopkins. The film depicts the loving relationship between 'Jack' C.S.Lewis and Joy Grisham. However, there will be no mention of that in this programme. The main questions are concerning the natural self and the Christ self, the timelessness of God's presence and other topics that can be found in ' Mere Christianity', ava...
