I beg of Him to bestow His confirmations upon those loved
ones, dwellers in that pure and holy land, and to grant them successful
outcomes in all things: that in their character, their behaviour, their words,
their way of life, in all they are and do, He will make them to achieve
distinction among men; that He will gather them into the world community, their
hearts filled with ecstasy and fervour and yearning love, with knowledge and
certitude, with steadfastness and unity, their faces beauteous and bright.
(‘Abdu’l-Baha, ‘Selections from the Writings
of `Abdu'l-Bahá’; The Compilation of Compilations, vol. I, Excellence in All
Things)
