Sisters of the Cross lead in prayerful music
Faithful friends of Fr. Bob, witnessing what will become an historic event
Bishop Prendergast, incense around the altar
Deacon Marc Gauthier preparing the gifts
The sunset sky cleared up for the service, it was cloudy all day, the prayers of the faithful drove away the
cloud and rain much like when the Pope arrived at World Youth Day in 2002
Communion time
Prayer time after Communion
Preparing for the entombment, the altar for the Mass was Fr. Bob's tomb
Placing Fr. Bob in his final resting place as the faithful praise the Lord
Sealing the Tomb, until the day of Resurrection, while the Sister's of the Cross praise Jesus
The completion of the first of many thousands of pilgrimages to the resting place of Fr. Bob,
who We believe one day will be know as Saint Bob Bedard.
Permission
Song for Fr. Bob BedardDid you know
Where the wind would blow
In the early days when the faithful came
To pray and feed their souls
Did you see
The Spirit leading
Across the nations and generations
Building on the dream
Jesus held your hand
With a simple plan
Tell the world to give the Lord permission
(Chorus)
Permission
God is asking
Permission
We will answer
"Yes" to this decision
To be companions on his mission
Permission, we will answer "yes"
Face to face
In the Father's Grace
You won the crown, ran the race
Enter your reward
We’re still near you
We still hear you… saying
“Rise up Church, light the flame
Stand up for life, proclaim His Name!”
Hold our hands
Help us understand
All that Jesus asks is our permission
(Repeat Chorus)
(Bridge)
There’ll be a Light
Upon your life forever
You’ll never to die
You’re more alive than ever
Pray for the Bride
And we will rise
