It is with great sadness that I received the news of the demise of Fr. Isaac Alencherry.He was our Syriac teacher while were studying in the Minor Seminary and later a colleague at S.B.College. He was a gentle and kind priest, always receiving everyone with a smile.Never getting angry or upset. Had great faith in the Lord and took his priestly life very seriously. He found joy in being a follower of the Charismatic movement. Participation in Charismatic prayer groups changed his life dramatically. He became very joyful and peace-filled and a counselor to many who were troubled and upset by various events in life.In the last years of his life,I did not get time to visit him especially because he was confined to a wheel chair and unable to speak.
On his social side, he was very companionable and found joy in prayers and singing. He wrote a few books on spiritual topics. For a few years after his retirement from the college, he worked as a spiritual father at the Mangalapuzha seminary.
God bless this wonderful person.
