“Why do I want them to come together in cenacles with me?
Above all to pray with me: when my priests pray, united with each other and with me, how efficacious is their prayer! (…)
It is necessary today that my priests know each other…that they be as brothers brought together by their Mother.”
(#34, Cenacles of Life with Me”)
