Ours should be the prayer
that His [God’s] blessings may be vouchsafed in still greater abundance, and
ours to hold fast to such means as shall ensure a fuller outpouring of His
grace and a greater measure of His divine assistance.
One of the greatest of these
means is the spirit of true fellowship and loving communion amongst the
friends. Remember the saying: ‘Of all pilgrimages the greatest is to relieve
the sorrow-laden heart.’
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Selections from the Writings of
‘Abdu’l-Baha’)
