Whatever meeting is held to celebrate the memory of the Abhá
Beauty and to listen to the recital of the divine utterances is indeed a rose
garden of the Kingdom and that gathering is strengthened by the reviving
breaths of holiness that waft from the unseen world, inasmuch as the
outpourings of divine grace are the light of that gathering and the effulgent
splendours of His mercy are made manifest. I beseech God that those radiant
faces may be enabled to shine resplendent in the assemblage of the realm of
holiness and that those enraptured beings may be gathered together in the
heaven of His mercifulness, that they may chant the verses of praise and
glorification in the Abhá Kingdom, raise the voice of jubilation in the realm
on high and the cry of exultation and ecstasy in the Abhá Paradise.

Importance of Deepening Our Knowledge and Understanding of the Faith)
