O Thou divine Providence, pitiful are we, grant us Thy
succour; homeless wanderers, give us Thy shelter; scattered, do Thou unite us;
astray, gather us to Thy fold; bereft, do Thou bestow upon us a share and
portion; athirst, lead us to the well-spring of Life; frail, strengthen us that
we may arise to help Thy Cause and offer ourselves as a living sacrifice in the
pathway of guidance.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Selections from the Writings of
‘Abdu’l-Baha’)
