One of the challenges the Brothers' Congress posed to its participants was about the whole notion of success indicators in our Provinces, communities and individuals. It was primarily Fr Jose Kuttianimattathil who raised this point during his presentation and challenged the group if we were ready to change our success indicators. Most often we have achievement of good marks and ranks, profit-making technical schools and farms, or award-winning apostolates as the role models of all our activities. He asked, how about grading each other or collectively as a Province, on the scale of sanctity or holiness? Granted that it is not something as easily measurable as other 'corporate structure indicators', nonetheless we still can ask ourselves if holiness is a criterion we look for and work towards at all?
