O ye who have turned your faces toward the Exalted Beauty!
By night, by day, at morningtide and sunset, when darkness draweth on, and at
early light I remember, and ever have remembered, in the realms of my mind and
heart, the loved ones of the Lord. I beg of Him to bestow His confirmations
upon those loved ones, dwellers in that pure and holy land, and to grant them
successful outcomes in all things: that in their character, their behaviour,
their words, their way of life, in all they are and do, He will make them to
achieve distinction among men; that He will gather them into the world
community, their hearts filled with ecstasy and fervour and yearning love, with
knowledge and certitude, with steadfastness and unity, their faces beauteous
and bright.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Selections from the Writings of ‘Abdu’l-Baha’)
