O ye two maidservants of God! [1] The Lord of the Kingdom hath invited, chosen and guided you through His pure favor, feeding you from the heavenly table of divine knowledge! Know ye the value of this favor and bounty and loosen your tongues in praise; showing forth the power of knowledge and assurance and breathing the spirit of guidance into the hearts of the seekers.
Ask from God that ye stand firm and steadfast in this great Cause.
I pray in your behalf, asking assistance and favor for you. I hope that ye may become confirmed and helped.
