Advent is a time to make us more perfect than yesterday. It is with just small touching and colouring to our attitude, behaviour pattern etc.
In 1993 a statue of Bl. Theophane was made and placed at Ponnurunni, Kochi, Kerala, India, near his tomb. It was the first statue of him. It was noticed that it did not look like him. The colour was
dark and lips were thick. The artist who made it could not do better than that. Shortly another artist came in. Had a look at it and took his small hammer and chisel. He made the lips thin. Again he took his brushes and worked on the colour of statue's face looking at an original photo of him. Then Fr. Lennie Connully, the provincial of Capuchins of that time looked at statue (he had seen Fr. Theophane alive) and certified saying, "Now it looks like Fr. Theophane."
