கண்ணீர் அஞ்சலி...

Fr. J. G. Jesudas, a great priest who loved his people and promoted their growth through educational endeavours, especially that of St. Jude's College, Thoothoor. His end came day before yesterday while taking a walk after a late dinner after visiting place to establish his yet another dream of accomodating sick people called 'Bethdaida." A man who died while working for his people till his very end.

Few weeks ago, he called me over the phone. But unfortunately i could not respond that nor could call later. It might have been for the college matter which sails in a disturbed sea of power hungry and position mongering priests and their sycophants. Though both the bishops of Kottar and Trivandrum are involved, some of the above type of priests scuttled it to their favor, but may not to the benefit of poor people and students.

May his good soul pray for the conversion of those type of priests to dedicate themselves for the cause of the people and not for their own 'glory.'

May his good soul rest in peace!
