What is the meaning of CONTINUI? I understand that the verb CONTINUARE means TO CONTINUE, however in this sentence "il vostro amore fraterno continui”! What is the full meaning of CONTINUI? Could somebody exain to me the rule in Italian of this type of phrasing?

"continui" is "congiuntivo" and this sentence can be translate as "“let your brotherly love continue". The conjunctive can also express an order, an exhortation or a hope: Che nessuno si muova! = everybody stay still! Che qualcuno ci aiuti! = somebody help us! So "continuare" in italian also means to last or to keep doing something.

"Continui" means continue; something be constant. In this case, continuare is inflected for lui form because of what has before (il vostro amore fraterno).
