Fr Jose Kuttianimattathil, in his concluding words, challenged us to develop a culture of sanctity in our communities. He clearly cited the example of how a young Brother who spends a couple of minutes extra in the Church after Mass or adoration, is soon labeled as 'Dominic Savio' or a confrere who assists a young lady who comes to the house for some help is made the butt end of jokes at the table that evening. He asked, if prayer and related matters are made light and mocked at, if not directly, but very subtly and repeatedly, we tend to grow in a culture which certainly is detrimental to growth in spiritual values. Even those bravehearts who take their initial steps are soon cowed into 'toeing the line'.
This endeavour he quite rightly, placed it on the shoulders of the community
