Book excerpt: "The eyes of the Lord roam over the whole earth, to encourage those who are devoted to him wholeheartedly" (2 Chronicles 12:9). This describes the life of Fr. Bob Bedard, Founder of the Companions of the Cross, wholehearted for the Lord and to the carrying out of his holy will. He came from humble beginnings in Ottawa where he was raised, went to school and was ordained a priest in 1955. His open and surrendered approach to his faith throughout his life, enabled him to say "yes", when the Lord asked for his permission to begin a new community of priests and seminarians in 1985. A teacher for many years, the Lord transformed his ministry to his students and as a result many were evangelized and returned to their faith. Through his involvement in the Charismatic Renewal and extensive speaking at conferences about the renewal of parishes he had a tremendous impact and helped numerous people allow the Holy Spirit to be active in their lives. He is truly a remarkable servant of the Lord and a pioneer of the new evangelization in the Church.
