    Member of the Garden Congregation here listening to and watching this dearest, most holy man, Dean Robert. The intense pain of his sudden passing renders my heart and soul. I need to hear him, which can be done via the marvelous videography of Fletcher. I will always be a member of the Garden Congregation.

    What a lovely surprise to see our
    dear Dean Robert pop up on my
    phone screen and know that Fletcher
    is right nearby with his camera.
    I was transported back to the
    Deanery garden with our little
    friend, the robin and the cats,
    Leo, Lilly and Tiger. I became
    so attached to Dean Robert
    and all the animals and the
    beauties of the garden itself,
    with Fletcher coming through
    loud and clear through the
    camera every morning, that it
    is rather a bittersweet moment
    to hear and see Dean Robert
    again. His voice has always been
    so calming and comforting and
    his words filled with spiritual
    depth and rich meaning. He still has so much to teach and to give to the
    Body of Christ, the church. I still
    thank God daily for bringing Dean
    Robert and Fletcher into my life
    and for leaving us their legacy
    of garden videos and readings
    that we can go to whenever we
    need some spiritual medicine
    from our dear friend, Dean Robert.
    God bless and keep you both🌷🐈🐈‍⬛

    How lovely to hear and see Dean Emeritus Robert Willis for us in the G.C. What a beautiful church St.Paul’s Episcopal Church is! St Benedict’s three strands ; study, encouragement and balance. Thomas Merton’s life was interesting. Awe and wonder with a worshipping Christian community encourages our spirituality for sure.

    Thank you, St. Paul's, for sharing Dean Robert's talk. I always learn something new from this remarkable man. It is also good to see and hear Fletcher and other members of the Garden Congregation. Judy Beck, Raleigh, NC

    How wonderful was it to see this video pop up on my You Tube! Wow, what a beautiful church!
    Dean Robert, I am thrilled to have seen you this evening in my home. Your encouragement from the Lord came at a much needed time. I imagine you are home back home now, but please know you are loved and appreciated.

    Recently while gardening a benediction I heard as a child, came to me in its entirety. I changed the words to personalize it to me. "Over my life may the sunlight of heaven, shine with a glory that nothing can dim, cheering my heart in the grace of God's presence, until I am safely enfolded in Him." What follows after saying those words is "the peace that passeth understanding." Thanks be to God. Happy Trails, y'all! (Bellaire, TX)

      This benediction is most beautiful. My mom is 92 and I just read it to her. She cried. ❣

    It's a Friday evening and thank God for your service in spirituality of mind,body,soul and spirit.Its great to hear DR and Fletcher in the presence of time online and with all people's to really express oneself and by unearthing and acknowledgeing the moments of each day if possible to take time out or even be stopped in your tracks when least expected to feel this presence of spiritual reflection in a deeper meaningful state of mind to be in solitude free from the outside world to be individually living the presence of the Holy Spirit.Its a moving experience that takes time to develop as an individual but so rewarding that it becomes a habit or natural experience or persistent exercise to create new beginnings and feel better for doing what God wants us to do.This is a precious gift that with the presence of DR and Fletcher through the garden congregation over the years has given each individual throughout the world the self recognition to learn and take time out and take part in a charasmatic healing process through prayer in a garden of worship.
    We need more services like this to really appreciate the true understanding of solitude in self prayer and realization of being a part of God's creation.
    Thankyou both so much for your works of genuine mercy.
    Its really appreciated

    I had to laugh at your Encouragement example of wrong page in an unfamiliar church. A friend and I were in a church in Poland years ago sitting beside a nun who pointed to the hymnbook page we neglected being on as we neither spoke, read nor Sang Polish. She persisted for a minute as we shook our heads distracting worshipers around us.
