He was very much involved in the neo - catechumenal way of life, in the archdiocese. He was a man of deep faith and was very strong in his prayer life, especially his personal communication with the Lord, daily. His homilies were always very inspiring. His attitude to life was of compassion and humility like Jesus his master and therefore he always reached out to the poor & under-privileged, who were very dear to his heart.
