O Lord, O Thou Who dost bless all those who stand firm in
the Covenant by enabling them, out of their love for the Light of the World, to
expend what they have as an offering to the Mashriqu’l-Adhkár,
the dayspring of Thy wide-spread rays and the proclaimer of Thine evidences,
help Thou, both in this world and the world to come, these righteous these
upright and pious ones to draw ever nearer to Thy sacred Threshold, and make
bright their faces with Thy dazzling splendours.
Verily art Thou the Generous, the Ever-Bestowing.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Selections from the Writings of ‘Abdu’l-Baha’)
