  • Thank you Fr Edward for another inspired podcast. It was a great tribute to St Damien of Moloki and so much more which included how to ask the Saints to pray for us and the reminder to pray to our Lord God in Church. We look at Him and He looks at us.

    St Damien and St Bernard pray for all our wonderful priests as you give glory to God.
