Before entering the Stimmate he lived a quiet life, solely concerned about the love of God and of his own mother. He looked after the mother with affection and concern during her long illness. After her death he decided to become a Stigmatine, fulfilling a long cherished desire to be a religious. In our house he continued with his tailoring  activity which he had learned earlier. He distinguished himself for his availability to do any service requested by the Confreres.
