With George Herbert's beautifully mystical writing we sense the imprint of the essence of Christ. But, so too, in its own way, with Garden Congregation Morning Prayer. It's wonderful to experience this again. Thank you so much, Dean Robert and Fletcher.

Life can be beautiful for those who have eyes to see and ears to hear. For eyes that perceive the invisible, and ears that hear the music of the Spheres.

[@clarewatson4660]

Here in Norfolk UK we too woke (Thursday) to a dark wet and windy morning but such joy to say morning prayer with you all and bring forth light into my day. Thank you for sharing and for receiving your encouragement this morning.

How I have missed Morning Prayer! Thank you, Dean Robert & Fletcher, for doing this. ❤️✝️🙏

[@robynwozab5745]

Thank you so much

[@maryfilippou6667]

How great to see and hear you two days running, three now righht? We visited Wilton House the year of the Royal Wedding. Shakespeare had been there before us. We took a rubbing back from Salisbury Cathedral. You've revived happy memories of that heavenly Summer's week.

[@maryyouings4527]

Thank you so much for being there again I have tried to find you with no success and now you are here explaoning the scriptures like no one else x

[@lyntomkins1624]

So good to see you. Have missed our mornings together Such peace🇦🇺

[@pamcowie2982]

Dear Dean Robert and Fletcher, You will never know how the words of a new beginning have touched my heart and soul. I have been spiritually in the desert . I suspect the words have also impacted you and Fletcher. To once again receive Morning Prayer such a personal blessing to me….also to experience you travelling through my country of birth for me this transplanted Yankee living here in the UK for 53 years with my English husband. I know all too well those Nor’easter’s. Thank you both so much.

[@irishagenratowsky4745]

Dear Dean Robert and Fletcher, such a joy to pray with you again! I have been so very sad that your beautiful prayer events were gone after you retired, and have checked periodically to see if any more posts came on the Garden Congregation channel, but, alas, was disappointed. Now, you are both back and it is such a joy and a help and an encouragement. Blessings to you both! Thank you so much for all the love and beauty you both bring to the world!

[@MelissaBarclay-n7z]

What a wonderful surprise! Morning prayer is back! I've watched all the old recordings so new beginnings (& programmes) is a real Easter gift. Blessings to you for all you give.Those G Herbert poems are real faves ❤❤

[@JenniferVeeck]

Thank you for joining us again

[@shelleygilchrist289]

We are home again; we are grounded and blessed. Thank you. Thank you.

[@rebeccaliming1330]

This is such a wonderful beginning. I have been accessing the reruns from the Canterbury Garden Congregation for my morning meditations. I am so glad they have been available but rejoice in these new meditations. Thank you so very much!

[@christinepooley8657]

Just found you again for this year. So pleased to hear your current Morning Prayer again. Was reading April 2021 yesterday. Thank you for upholding me throughout the years and God bless you, wherever you are in our world.

[@jeangerow7177]

Each Morning Prayer Dean Robert and Fletcher share with the Garden Congregation is a blessing.

[@joannejohnson]

Well done, Fletcher, with your filming👍

[@janethelder1454]

Thank you 🙏

[@rosamariabonetvalls5942]

😢😢😢❤❤❤❤

[@pennyclay4127]

Thank you Dean Robert. You made many connections. You are masterful at this. I was born in Salisbury & know the cathedral well, also the little church at Bemetton.onr of my favourite walks is across the water meadows along the town path from Harnham, made famous by Constanle's famous Paintings.

[@anitajones3855]

Alleluia!❤ Thank you for you presence at St. Thomas during Holy Week. What a sweet surprise to find you in the GardenCongregation! Blessings and Joy!❤

[@evelyndaniel9777]

So pleased to find you again. Thank you

[@MrRoastedSnow]

Thank you

[@patnewby]

Thank you Dean Robert for the superb sermons over Holy Week and Easter and to Fletcher for blogs and photos. God bless you both. From Bristol, England.

[@carolyndaley9608]

Thank you so much, Dean Robert for your uplifting message this morning. What a comfort you bring to so many of us with your gift of imparting Scripture with such realism and freshness. God bless you.

[@kickiahlberg924]

… it’s “Love 3” ❤️ found it in “The Temple” 📖 Thank You SO much 🙏 K

[@carolingimundson1392]

Oh how wonderful to hear your calming voice this morning I was happy to follow along with the transcript to keep my old mind focused which so often wanders I love your posts Thank you to you& Fletcher

[@drewk3402]

Hooray! What a delightful surprise to find a new Morning Prayer session today. It was particularly helpful for you to give the page number in Daily Prayer that you are reading from as I like to follow along in the book as you are reading. I wish that I could help support your ministry (both you and Fletcher) in some way financially now that you are retired from the church. I don’t know if this is possible but I have received so much from your work bringing these daily prayer sessions to me. It has been a highlight of my days and I have learned so much from your explanations of the gospel readings. I suspect that there are other members of the Garden Congregation who would also like to help support your continued efforts at spreading the gospel through these programs. I know that there must be costs in doing this work, including internet expenses and camera equipment among other things. I know that other KZbin channels are supported by Patreon donations, for example. Please let me know what I can do to help!

[@argentinagalos6205]

❤🙏✝

[@joannejohnson]

[@billowensphotographer]

Glad to have you here. You are close to our ancestral towns, Soon the daffodils will dance across the hills.

[@selinaolawoye7764]

Awesome 👏

[@PedroMPereira]

Just loving this new season of Morning Prayer! Would it be a new beginning for the Garden Congregation? Dean Robert and Fletcher are a blessing to our lives.

[@elizabethtallman3280]

Since you mentioned Salisbury, I have been watching Ben Latin the Salisbury organist on his channel. He goes around to all the little village churches and plays their little church organs and gives the history of the church. It's a lovely channel. Thank you so much for this peaceful time together. May God bless DR and Fletcher's new beginning!

[@lucjagrabowska2726]

Always great, great pleasure and joy to hear our beloved Dean Robert!

[@peterrobey1654]

Lovely spot you found for filming though it must be cold with no power. I have a better understanding now of all the work behind the camera, preparing the locations and Dean Robert bringing a message beyond the familiar inside the church building.

[@elizabethmunson7379]

:)

[@kickiahlberg924]

What’s the read Poem by George Herbert called? K

[@janicekerns9071]

What prayer book do you use? I have the one used in the States and the paging seems to be different.

[@elizabethtallman3280]

Ben Maton not Latin spell check keeps on changing it.
