…I say unto you pray—pray and turn your faces to God, that
He, in His infinite compassion and mercy, may help and succour these misguided
ones. [the “cruel, prejudiced and unjust…man”] Pray that He will grant them
spiritual understanding and teach them tolerance and mercy, that the eyes of
their minds may be opened and that they may be endued with the gift of the
spirit. Then would peace and love walk hand in hand through the lands, and these
poor unhappy people might have rest.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From a talk; ‘Paris Talks:
Addresses given by 'Abdu'l-Bahá in Paris in 1911-1912’)
