O my Lord and my Hope! Help Thou Thy loved ones to be
steadfast in Thy mighty Covenant, to remain faithful to Thy manifest Cause, and
to carry out the commandments Thou didst set down for them in Thy Book of
Splendours; that they may become banners of guidance and lamps of the Company
above, wellsprings of Thine infinite wisdom, and stars that lead aright, as
they shine down from the supernal sky.
Verily art Thou the Invincible, the Almighty, the
All-Powerful.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Selections from the Writings of ‘Abdu’l-Baha)
