The divine Jerusalem has come down from heaven. The bride of
Zion has appeared. The voice of the Kingdom of God has been raised. May you
attain supreme capacity and magnetic attraction in this realm of might and
power—manifesting new energy and wonderful accomplishment, for God is your
Assister and Helper. The breath of the Holy Spirit is your comforter, and the
angels of heaven surround you. I desire this power for you. Rest assured that
these bounties now overshadow you.

Hotel Ansonia to Bahá’í Friends; ‘The Promulgation of Universal Peace: Talks
Delivered by ‘Abdu’l-Bahá during His Visit to the United States and Canada in
1912’)
