Her Orison for Me and Us
My dearest Eva,
I am constrained to acknowledge the power of your prayers in my life. Your perpetual orison for myself and us has strengthened me when I am uncertain and remiss in my prayer life. Your steadfast devotion to our God and myself lifts my sagging spirit and helps me know that just as you love me, our God loves me even more for He is all to you and me as He is all to us and our love. Your constant prayer and devotion stimulates your devoted husband to cherish and cleave to you as I cherish and cleave to Almighty God. Thus as in the attached verse, your man lifts you up in prayer and lifts his voice in praise to the Holy Father who conceived and brought us forth in His eternal mind, before He formed us in our mothers’ womb, that we might manifest His majesty with the completion of His work both now and forever more. Stand by me and know that I will always stand by you.
We are two timbers who together are stronger than one,Kochany
‘The orison that passed her rosy lips was for my present and eternal happiness; and so innocently but ardently was the petition offered up, that I knelt beside her and united my prayer to hers.
— William Hamilton Maxwell, The bivouac: Volume 2’
