Dear Editor,
I appreciate the views expressed in the article “Religious Leadership Today”. (Magnet, Nov. 2019). Superiors’ primary obligation is to build fraternal communities in Christ through their three‑fold functions of teaching, sanctifying and governing. They exercise these three functions by breaking the Word of God and by sound spiritual and religious life, showing care and concern to the members by correcting, comforting and encouraging them. I was deeply moved by reading the “Six Things Leaders Should Do” in the article. Now a days, these qualities are followed by a very few leaders. In those days, our leaders were spiritually strong. But modernization of certain things in the society might have choked such qualities. Anyhow, we are all human. We are neither fully human nor fully divine. Our leaders need spiritual strength. Instead of blaming them for their mistakes let us start to pray for them.

Each time I pick the Magnet Magazine, I am excited to glance at random before I could ruminate the contents page by page. It’s a rich stuff of information of all types. I would rightly describe it as “Anthology of Knowledge.” I’m grateful to the team for the meticulous way of doing the service.
The article “Religious Leadership Today” is a very good one. It can be for religious today a pointer at the crossroad. The qualities of a religious leader described in this article are worth reading. If these are followed, religious life would be heaven on earth.
God bless your endeavour dear Fr. Joe and the collaborators. Looking forward to the next issue of the magazine.

I am grateful to MAGNET for enriching me with varied knowledge on many topics. I first came across the Magnet Magazine with the November 2019 issue and I am really amazed how one monthly could contain many informative, creative and interesting articles which to me personally is like one big source which has helped me to gather multiple information….. In particular, I would like to express my deep sense of gratitude to the writer of the article: EMAIL EFFICIENCY through which I have discovered many unfamiliar or even say, neglected facts about email. We cannot afford to lag behind the fast-growing digital world. Efficiency in whatever we do is the point and the article contains tips on how to use, maintain and response emails efficiently. It also serves as an instruction on how to handle virus attacked or hacked email account. I would also like to mention that the TWELVE LESSONS ON LEADERSHIP from POPE FRANCIS have enlightened me on how to develop and inculcate leadership traits… I am looking forward for many more interesting information and nourishment for the spiritual, social and educational perspectives.
Thanks to all who are part and parcel of Magnet.
Wishing you Success…

Congratulations to the Magnet team! This monthly is a special blend of sources for personal, social and spiritual integration. This is the first time I have heard and seen this type of a magazine. The themes are well-chosen with apt topics. Each writer is evidently committed and diligent. Reading the magazine refreshes my mind, especially now that I am not in any active field since my retirement from teaching career. I find everything in it interesting and inspiring. I would like to subscribe to this magazine. Undoubtedly, the team behind it deserves our thanks and support.
My best wishes to the magnet team. God bless your endeavour.

I am glad to have come across a magazine MAGNET. Personally, I found it to be a valuable and an educational instrument. My heartfelt gratitude to the team for the magnificent work you are doing. Each article in this magazine is of great value and has a great lesson to offer to each one of us at different levels of life and across the world. I got inspired in a particular way with the article, “RELIGIOUS LEADERSHIP TODAY: Eight essentials for a religious superior.” The elements emerging in this article are indeed powerful and, if they are applied, surely many things in our world today would change.
