The dedication service on July 13 sounds nice, especially since it was the very day of the Council of the 12 Apostles. I am glad that Bishop Siluan had time to meet the young people after the Liturgy. What did they talk to them about?

Andrei Ciobanu

Yes, the dedication service on July 13 fell beautifully exactly on the day of the Council of the Apostles. I heard that at the meeting with the young people, Bishop Siluan spoke to them more about how to keep their faith in the city, with today's temptations. What do you think would be most useful for a bishop to tell them at their age?

Ion Popescu

Yes, Andrei, the theme with the temptations of the city is the most suitable for today's young people. I think the bishop would do well to tell them concretely how to choose their friendships and what to avoid on the phone in the evening, not just general advice. Have you been to any similar meeting with young people?

Petru Dumitrescu

Yes, Ion, you are right about the choices of friends and what is seen on the phone in the evening - our young people easily fall into these small traps that accumulate. I once went to a meeting with the young people from the parish in the neighborhood, where exactly this was talked about, but it seemed to me that a concrete example from everyday life was missing. What specific advice would you give to a 17-year-old boy who stays up late on the phone?

Marius Ciobanu

Yes, Ion, that concrete advice about friends and what goes on in the evening on the phone would really catch on well with the young people of Salcuta. Bishop Silaun seemed to me a man who speaks directly, not just in generalities. Have you been to any such meeting with him?
