He preached a very meaningful homily on first world day of poor. He in his homily said "May it invite us to identify the poor living in our midst, to draw near to them, to encounter them, to embrace them and let them feel the warmth of love that breaks through their solitude.
We need to gaze them (poor). We must be generous towards the needy and downtrodden not only financially but also by meeting their basic needs and also we need to set an example of Jesus Christ. So that together in the Body of Christ we might grow in holiness, know our poverty and need for God".
Many faithful celebrated this holy mass with great devotion and fervour.
