Phinehas Ramban Ordained

by Shroro Editorial Board

Joseph sir was ordained as 'Phinehas Ramban' by HG Mor Dioscoros Kuriakose Metropolitan, at the Malecuriz Dayro Church . Those who know Phinehas Ramban would testify to his saintly life at Malekuriz Dayro. While working in the P&T Department at Thiruvanathapuram, Joseph had an irrepressible inner call to devote his life for the Lord's glory. Restless in spirit he wrote about it to Mor Philoxenos Paulose Metropolitan (Catholicose Paulose II) of blessed memory. After a series of correspondence and discussions he resigned his job in November 1967 and came to the Metropolitan's Aramana in Muvattupuzha marking the beginning of his Dayro life. In 1976 he moved to the Malecuriz Dayro as per the express desire of the Catholicos where he served also as a teacher in the seminary till it was shifted to Udayagiri. Since he entered the portals of the monastery, he has never gone out of its bounds except in the church processions during the Holy Feasts. He is now seventy and is involved in teaching, preaching and giving spiritual counsel to the faithful.
