So inspiring and so lovely to see you in your morning congregation mode again with morning tea, visits with Leo and the tortoises and surrounded by lilacs and spring greenery. Since the end of Covid restrictions everyone is on the move again and I do miss the tranquility of daily prayer. 🙏.

My family emigrated from England to Australia when I was 10 years old. I'm in my 70s now and I've never stopped missing those beautiful, ancient English country churches or the countryside and flowers. Thank you, Dean Robert, for showing us the scenery and for the prayers, which mean so much to me.

Much gratitude for your careful analysis of scripture and the prayers and poetry, as always. It was a very beautiful walk and visit to the Church and Chapel churchyard too.

Its good to see Dean Robert again!

[@lbakemeyer]

It is such a blessing to have you Dean Willis and Fletcher back in home ground. We do your morning prayers daily as they are so inspirational and fill our spirit. Save travels and surely the turtles, cats and chickens will miss you and waiting for maybe a couple of piglets running in your beautiful yard.

[@catherineloxton5727]

I feel so much better after watching that video, especially seeing Leo in natural daylight again like back in the Deanery Garden! Sigh of relief on Lilly scampering round with you both outside in Shropshire as well. Your filming at the ruined church where Richard Plantagenet has a memorial stone especially welcome as I enjoy reading Medieval History ... Hope you don't get plagued with midges at Chris&Martin's man-made pond ... 🌎🛫💜🐈🐈🐈🐈✈️🐈🐈🐈🐈💜🛬🌎 ...

[@drewk3402]

Another Magical Mystery Tour! Thank you, Dean Robert, for your guided tour of some very beautiful and special places and you, Fletcher, for masterful filming and editing. What could be better than sharing a day like this with the two of you through this wonderful video.

[@janeeuzile]

Thank you for this meaningful time of worship with the garden congregation. I have always enjoyed the Sunday of world wide communion knowing that we come together across the world to share in worship. The prayers that you lead us in bring the love and peace that Jesus meant to guide our lives, and is being shared across the world.

[@lucjagrabowska2726]

I can't express my deep feeling of gratitude and joy to be able to participate in the Morning Prayer with Dean Robert again. Leo is pure beauty. I hope Tiger is doing well.

[@margaretinsydney3856]

Every Morning Prayer video seems even more beautiful than the last. What a lovely walk through the lanes, into the churches, and seeing all the springtime glory. (Oh, to be in England!) Thank you for your prayers and for your presence in our lives again. God bless you both! I am astonished by your amazing travel schedule! To think anyone thought you were too old to be Dean of Canterbury!😊

❤I can't put down in words how I feel when in your company. God bless you both .

Happy birthday later this week, Dean Robert. You are a blessing.

[@gingerhipszky228]

So great to see you again Dean Robert and Fletcher! It feels just like old times. I have several coins of Helena. I have one of her coins minted in Antioch. The village and the church are amazing. Thank you for taking us there. The stained glass window is so special. So, so amazing to see the beautiful English countryside. Thank you Fletcher for recording. I feel so much less depressed. An early happy birthday to you Dean Robert.

[@pwelly7717]

Thank you Dean Roberts for coming back. Your message each day during Covid was such a Comfort. I’m so happy to see you back, different but familiar settings. Blessings to you Dean🙏🏽

[@jennyearl29]

What a joy to find Morning Prayers continuing, and the lovely Dean Robert looking so well. I’ve been concerned about all the animals, Tiger and Leo, Russell Crow, Winston and Clemmie…and therefore SO delighted to see Lilly making the most of her new surroundings. God bless you all, and THANK YOU.

[@annebalderston2520]

I look forward to following Fletcher's blog and occasional prayers from along the "Way". Blessings to you both.

Good Morning! This video was a nice surprise this morning. Thank you so much for the post. I'm watching from Brazil and recalling back in 2021 when I used to be encouraged by daily Words of Faith! And Leo, how I miss not seeing him. All the best for you ALL!

[@beverlybrar451]

Thank you for this real treat of a stroll through the beautiful springtime Kentish countryside where I grew up - watched from hot and dusty Punjab where I live now. I'm so happy to be able to share morning prayer with you and Fletcher again, and to participate vicariously in your travels..

[@heatherichardson1]

I took found the lighting of the candles very moving. I thought of my husband and others suffering from PCA dementia as the last candle was lit. I wonder if anyone else in the Garden Congregation suffers from this rare form of dementia. Thank you both .

[@jenni48.32]

[@VivienneDuncan-n4m]

Dean Robert might also like to know that 17th May (1961) was the date that Guildford Cathedral (more properly The Cathedral Church of the Holy Spirit, Guildford), was consecrated -at the hand of Bishop George Reindorp. Prayers needed while they are in the process of appointing a new Dean.

[@robynwozab5745]

Leo!!!!❤❤❤❤

[@carolgatewood6044]

So very good to have you with us again! You have been missed greatly and most of us keep watching reruns. Would love to know about all the animals that were in Canterbury with you.

[@sonyaparkin7841]

💚

[@4u2wealth]

Please your itinerary for your trip to the states ? We are close to Louisville + thank you both for all your comfort and encouragement ♡

[@angelahurley5321]

You always "make my day" and give me comfort. Thank you. Could you please let us know when you will be in Louisville? I want to make plans to be there.

[@brendacollingwood788]

lovely to see you again and thanks for the updates, what have you done to your fingers?

[@bettymorris5509]

Will you share your schedule, please? When and where will you be in Dallas.

[@hilarydrinkwater5392]

An amazing sight that hasn't been seen before. it is timely to consider taking the editors pen to the Book of Common prayer and separating the verse ~ As it was in the beginning, now, and forever, World without end amen. Quantico is having difficulty in reconciling their "Echo" with World, and Heavenly Body (Earth) two entirely different subjects, with "Subject" being the operative word in both instances. To say: "This is mine, I will do as I please, when I please, where I please." Has been soundly challenged and found to be false. The "Physical" claimant to "The World" has a solid point, but to include the Universe is patently ridiculous and he should content himself with his World without end ~ Amen.

[@sandrajohnson4098]

I would so hope to see you while you are in St Louis! Will you be doing a service or speaking?

[@xanahoward8962]

Where can we find Fletcher’s blog? I can’t believe that you are visiting my part of the USA!

[@jeangerow7177]

It's under the "Community" tab on this channel.

[@deborahc9033]

In St Mary Westwell that is!🥴

[@freddyrodriguez4732]

Dammit you tricked me with a cat thumbnail

[@deborahc9033]

My Great Great Grandfather was baptized in this church in 1799, thank you for sharing, as I live in Australia, I am not able to visit all sights relating to my family history when in the UK.😀💚🙏🕍
