I  have only one recollection of Thirumeni in person when he came to my parish church in the early 80s. I came to know about his pious life only later after he passed away and I have wished that I had known him closer.

May Lord raise such true shepherds in our Church! May the memory of the late shepherd be a blessing for us all!
