In this holy Cause the question of orphans hath the utmost
importance. The greatest consideration must be shown towards orphans; they must
be taught, trained and educated. The Teachings of Bahá’u’lláh, especially, must
by all means be given to them as far as is possible.
I supplicate God that thou mayest become a kind parent to
orphaned children, quickening them with the fragrances of the Holy Spirit, so
that they will attain the age of maturity as true servants of the world of
humanity and as bright candles in the assemblage of mankind.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Selections from the Writings of ‘Abdu’l-Baha’)
