I wish I was closer so I could get your weekly homily in person. I need a Bible verse for my frustration and disappointment in myself. I have a goal I’ve been working tirelessly towards, and it has been thwarted by health issues. I’m having a hard time accepting that in my heart. If you have time, please leave a verse here for me to deliberate on. Thank you. Love from the West coast, it’s definitely the wet coast today ❤️✝️

This is a beautiful homily and a message we all need to hear

That was beautiful. Thank you for sharing

Thank you Father

Thank you for posting father. I wait on your perspective every week. Very different from the parishes in my region. God Bless ❤

I’m waiting for this weeks father Rob installation of the homily… 🙏🏻

I like to refer to the “elderly” as wisdom. If we listened more and dismissed less, maybe we’d learn from their his-story. Good word father

It’s interesting to hear the varying homilies given on this Word from Sunday. Each priest bringing his own wisdom to elaborate. Very cool father.

Greetings from Holy Russia.

Bad audio…

What a powerful message of the vision of your face in the wine with the crucifix

Thank you Theresa for sharing.🥰 I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this Podcast and could absolutely relate to alot of your comments. This Ministry is also very near and dear to my heart. ❤️ Thank you for all you do.🥰

Thank you Father Rob, for your wise words about marriage and your hard stance on antisemitism. Listening from BC ❤️✝️✡️

A real professional video and the music is magical...Well done

Amen Father. Excellent Word for the week ❤

I really enjoyed listening to this podcast especially when I see that adorable smile of Father Rob.Miss you and thank you all for doing this.Awesome information.🙏🙏

Wonderful

What an important conversation! Thank you Sherry and father Rob. Tough topics dealt with respect and hope. God bless you both ❤

that looks like its down the neck

I had the joy of attending mass at St Cecilia's Abbey this week that was celebrated by Bishop Varden.

Thank you, Fr. Rob. Powerful message.

God waits in the lobby when we we turn from him, tell him to go away. That is resonating so much for me right now, lean into the Father always. Very moving, I too looked after my Moms care, we were blessed that Moms illness did not prevent her from dying a natural death at home. Like Steven the experience touched and changed me profoundly.

Thank you for sharing this conversation! I learned a lot. I am listening to this for a send time.

Thank God for David Deane and to you, Fr. Rob, for wrestling with the small voice and yielding to the Catholic Church. I am incredibly fortunate to have crossed paths with both of you. I found home.

I believe Saint Andre Bessette is right to invoke Saint Joseph. We should emphasize Saint Joseph as the Patron of Canada and ask both Brother Andre and Saint Joseph intercede for us and pray for the Church in Canada. Saint Joseph, Patron of Canada, Protector of the Church, and Guardian of the Redeemer, pray for us. 🙏🏻 Saint Andre Bessette, Apostle of Saint Joseph, pray for us. 🙏🏻

Thank you Greg for sharing this wonderful chapter in your life🫠 I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this Podcast. The Holy Spirt works in mysterious ways, we all need to take more time to really listen to our hearts and know our Dear Lord is always right beside us and guiding us through life's journey's. We need to open our hearts and let him him.🙏

Great interview, and such insightful discussion. St John Vianney called the priesthood “the love of the heart of Jesus”. It is a precious vocation and I’m so grateful to hear of a young man responding to this love. Thank you for the reminder to be a parish community that supports and encourages priests and those who might become priests. My own discernment has led me to pray for them every day.

Wonderful interview, the challenge , for me especially, is to block the noise my ego raises to hear the still ,small voice. Thank you.

Great homily ..looking from Istanbul Turkey...Blessings

I read the transcript, audio was painful. The irony of God is not lost on me though; that I would give confession to you and then come upon this. May God guide my heart and mind in Christ Jesus.

Is this what they do in Halifax for fun?? Good Lord I’ll have to visit

Thank you Dr Lui for sharing.😊 Listening to what you went through in your younger years was heartbreaking. The power of prayer 🙏 preserved! God Bless you for all your wonderful work as a Doctor and as a man in his faith.

very interesting thank you to Dr Lui for all his good work I hope he has a very good retirement

I worked with Dr Fernandez for many years. His faith was always apparent in how he treated his patients and those he worked with.

Vey good conversation and I learned a lot about the burdens Dr Lui had to and still has to endure. However why do you call it, Two Peas in a Pod when you have a third person involved? I preferred your former conversations " Spillin the Tea!" I understand that you are involving more people in the parish but perhaps a new title might be best?? Anyway, well done the message is good and blest...perhaps that is enough!

I’m wiping away the tears! This beautiful episode so exemplifies the Gospel being lived out as I’m sure Christ meant it to be. Father Al Ray, you have been such a joy in our parish- your great love of the Eucharist, the Liturgy, our Church, is inspiring. The respect you and Father Rob show each other and Our Lord in serving together at Mass is beautiful. You are leaving our parish, but you will always be in my heart. ❤️

I’ve listened to this podcast 6 times. Each time it has touched me so deeply and I’ve teared up many times. The love and caring between Steven, Mary & Donald was profound. I think about Steven daily 🩵

This is such a beautiful episode. Fr. Al Ray, I met you just a few months ago when I started attending mass at Stella Maris and I have been so drawn to the warmth that both you and Fr. Rob exhibit that I am very sad to see you go. You contributed to making the Passion Week one that I will never forget. May God and Mother Mary continue to lead and guide your ministry.

What a beautiful and spiritual podcast 😊 Fr Al Ray, I was saddened to hear the news of you leaving Stella Maris. You have bought such love to our Parish and compassion to every Parishioner especially Fr Rob. Your gentle ways and singing was a blessing.😇 I would pray each day that Stella Maris would be blessed with your presence for as long as possible. I'm so grateful that I met you and for that I will always treasure. Listening to you sing on and off the Altar, your spiritual Homilies, the blessings of many vehicles out in the parking lot. Just talking to you bought me such happiness. You are truly going to be missed Fr Al Ray. I wish you all the best and hope you will come back to visit us. Thank you for everything and may God Bless you and keep you safe each and every day.🙏😊

What a wonderful interview. Thank you for letting us know you Father Al Ray. You are blest. As you say, you are only a bridge away....we shall visit you Blessings, Patricia O' Malley

thank you Father Rob, Simon,and Father AI RAY.I enjoyed your talk .and I am going to miss Father Al Ray, his homely s ,singing ,smile,it saddened my heart when I heard Michael died before he met Father Al Ray .Good Luck and God Bless Father AL RAY ,Dorothy

Thank you for the powerful message. A special way of understanding why we cry. God bless you now and forever with His choicest blessings.❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼

I am not sure the audio is understandable...Can you make it out? I am very sorry for this. It was such an informative conversation.

Steven, as a mom of young men I can’t thank you enough for sharing your story. It gives me hope that the seeds of faith planted in my sons’ hearts will grow and always nourish them. What a touching account. You are a good son.

Please replace the word Christian with the word Catholic. The word Christian unfortunately and incorrectly includes protestant’s who are NOT Christian!

thank you, Steven, Simon and Fr. Rob. I was a bit teary a few times listening... especially when I would picture you, Steven as a little boy in Herring Cove when I lived there and being a strong, faithful son to you Mom and Dad. Somehow I am saying to myself "what a wonderful life", in no way easy but beautiful all the same. wishing each of you and all enough.❤

This podcast was so compelling and powerful! ❤ Thank you Steven for sharing with us your Faith and Love and how it helped you get through the hardest days of your life. God Bless you.

Thank you for rebroadcasting your homily...very heartfelt thoughts. God Bless

Another great episode guys! Thanks to you Pauline for sharing!

Very nice homily Father. Thank you very much!
