Thou didst write of the Nineteen Day festivity, and this
rejoiced my heart. These gatherings cause the divine table to descend from
heaven, and draw down the confirmations of the All-Merciful. My hope is that
the breathings of the Holy Spirit will be wafted over them, and that each one
present shall, in great assemblies, with an eloquent tongue and a heart flooded
with the love of God, set himself to acclaiming the rise of the Sun of Truth,
the dawn of the Day-Star that lighteth all the world.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Selections
from the Writings of ‘Abdu’l-Baha’)
