Articles on HG Joseph Mor Gregorios from Malankara World Journal Issue 196
Gregorios Thirumeni - A Giant 'Kochu Thirumeni' Loved By All by Dr. Jacob Mathew
There is something about the way kochu thirumeni looks at you. HG's demeanor overall tells you that you have met someone very special. Jesus had a "deep" look at Peter when he denied him three times during his mock trial. Was it a stare, or a disappointed look, or a "I told you so!" kind of look? It was the first time Peter saw "that look." Peter saw it and his heart melted; he could not take it any more. He ran away and cried and cried - a broken man who lost everything. He didn't feel like the "rock" anymore.
I do not want to say that the Kochu Thirumeni's look will make you cry. I think it is more of a look of comfort. You will feel at ease. He listens to you very carefully. He talks to you at your level - not sitting in a throne. One get the feeling that here is a bishop who cares about you. He is different. ...
