The Arch Bishop was there on Vallarpadam the week before Mary's birthday, September 24. On that special Sunday His Grace, adorned the blessed individuals whom the church honored with titles for their service to the society. They had a huge stage on the Rosary Park of Vallarpadam and the whole diocese came in procession from Ernakulam and Vypeen. By the time I reached there at Vallarpadam as the far end of the line, the place was so full, all I got was a distant glimpse of the Arch Bishop. I couldn't even take a picture. A miss indeed.
This picture I took when the flower decked vehicle carrying the body of His Grace was brought to the St. Mary's Cathedral around seven in the evening, it was a sad farewell for one of the most loved spiritual leader by one and every of his flock.
His Greatness was he used his faith, intellect, education and authority to be one among his flock in every way and lead from the front.
Farewell father, we will remember you and always thank Jesus for your humility and love.
