His brotherly advice to you, and to all loyal and ardent
young believers like you, is that you should deepen your knowledge of the
history and of the tenets of the Faith, not merely by means of careful and
thorough study, but also through active, whole-hearted and continued participation
in all the activities, whether administrative or otherwise, of your community.
