– overlooking the small differences with patient sympathetic attitudes.
– practice of humility in accepting the shortcoming and failures and readiness to rectify them for harmonious living together.
– to deal with each other with an attitude of trust and respect.
– to imbibe ‘let go let live’ attitude and to be agents of peace.

2. How can we help each other to be more aware of the active and transforming presence of the Holy Spirit in our personal and community experience, in the life of the children, of the young,of the people we meet?
– by having greater adherence to the Word of God and taking the inspiration thereby obtained and put them into practice in our daily living.
