O God! Rear this little babe in the bosom of Thy love, and
give it milk from the breast of Thy Providence. Cultivate this fresh plant in
the rose garden of Thy love and aid it to grow through the showers of Thy bounty.
Make it a child of the kingdom, and lead it to Thy heavenly realm. Thou art
powerful and kind, and Thou art the Bestower, the Generous, the Lord of
surpassing bounty.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, vol. 1; compilation:
