His preaching was deep in spiritual meaning, and seasoned with the word of God presented in practical terms. It was supported by examples from the [[Bible]], Church history, [[tradition]], and the life of the [[Saints]]. His voice in the [[Liturgy ]] was low (you can even say weak) but very comforting to the listeners. This brought great multitudes to church not only for the liturgy but for the evening prayers as well. He was so humble, many a time he wondered why people praised him. He always felt he was not deserving, as he always felt he did not do enough. His example is clearly felt in those who new him and also in those who just heard about him.
