Prayer 9:

Prayer of Celine and Therese:
I tell you, if two of you agree on earth about anything you ask, it will be done for you by my Father in Heaven. For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them(St. Matth. Ch.18:19-20)

O my God! we ask that your two lilies never be separated on earth. Together, may they console you for the little love you find in this valley of tears. For all eternity may their corollas shine with the same brilliance and may they shed the same fragrance when they bow before you!..
Celine and Therese
