January 7
It is my hope that out of the
bestowals of the Lord of Hosts ye will become the spiritual essence and the
very radiance of humankind, binding the hearts of all with bonds of love; that
through the power of the Word of God ye will bring to life the dead now buried
in the graves of their sensual desires; that ye will, with the rays of the Sun
of Truth, restore the sight of those whose inner eye is blind; that ye will
bring spiritual healing to the spiritually sick. These things do I hope for,
out of the bounties and the bestowals of the Beloved. (‘Abdu’l-Baha, ‘Selections
from the Writings of ‘Abdu’l-Baha’)
