O God, my God! Illumine the brows of Thy true lovers and
support them with angelic hosts of certain triumph. Set firm their feet on Thy
straight path, and out of Thine ancient bounty open before them the portals of
Thy blessings; for they are expending on Thy pathway what Thou hast bestowed
upon them, safeguarding Thy Faith, putting their trust in their remembrance of
Thee, offering up their hearts for love of Thee, and withholding not what they
possess in adoration for Thy Beauty and in their search for ways to please
Thee.
O my Lord! Ordain for them a plenteous share, a destined
recompense and sure reward.
Verily, Thou art the Sustainer, the Helper, the Generous,
the Bountiful, the Ever-Bestowing.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Selections from the Writings
of ‘Abdu’l-Baha’)
