4 FRANSALIAN WAY After the Example of the Founder Core Affirmations of Community Life F r Mermier was eminently a man of the community. It is precisely because he wanted to live in a community that he wanted to found a religious Congregation. "I want to live in a community," he declared. He was convinced that to live a life of single minded pursuit of God a religious community was the most Fr George suited and privileged space. Vettukattil The words of the psalmist, "How good and delightful it is to live together in harmony as brothers," (Psalms 133:1) touched the heart of Mermier deeply. He looked forward to a community of men where his aspirations and holy desires were validated and affirmed by others. The community of Mermier was the centre and nucleus from where emanated the spiritual energy and power. The community again was the launching pad for the apostolic endeavors to such far flung lands like India. Leading from the front "Always the first at the spiritual exercises made in common, he continued to get up at Four O'clock in the morning, and heard two masses every day. Generally with a smile on his lips, he presented a serene and radiant face to everyone." (Duval A. Monsieur Mermier, PP 276) Even after he suffered a stroke and became practically blind he was regular for the community prayers. He led from the front. He led by example not only by exhortation. Fr Mermier insisted that the life of the community should be characterized by Salesian spirit everything is to be done in a spirit of peace and charity patiently and gently " (Duval A. PP 179). Fr Mermier was a man who had considerable regard for the members of the community. He was keenly attentive to their needs and sensitive to their suffering and pain. His concern for the confreres is evident in his correspondence with the confreres in India. He was a man of immense good will. This quality made good for many other deficiencies. Challenges before Us The situations have vastly changed from the community of Mermier's times to our times. The fast pace of life, the demands that our apostolates make on us, the presence of the electronic social media and so on; in some cases can take us away from the "sense of community." Rising individualistic tendencies, an exaggerated notion of professional success and satisfaction can rob our communities of the meaning and purpose of religious communities and reduce them to the status of a club. It will be a sobering thought that is to be borne in mind that the core-affirmations of religious communities are some of the constants of Religious life itself. Despite the challenges let us hope and strive to make an authentic Fransalian community living, a reality among us. Fr George Panthanmackel Provincial, NE Province (Contd on p.6) 04
