You are a natural educator, and badly needed in these times when so many priests and Bishops, official theologians, etc., renege on their solemn duty to educate people in the Faith and in Morals. You are very modest, and have obvious gifts of insight, perspicaciousness, perseverance, fidelity and a very strong faith. I implore you to keep up your great service to the Church and all people.
