From a
talk
“The essence of the
intention is that I wish you to pray for me and I will pray for you. The
pathway we shall walk together is the pathway of the disciples of Christ…
…Now therefore I will
pray for you and you must pray for me:
‘O Baha’u’llah! This is ‘Abdu'l-Baha! Confirm ‘Abdu'l-Baha
in Thy Threshold! Strengthen him in loyalty to Thee! Make him self-sacrificing!
Make him homeless, and without rest! Fill his heart with Thy love, so he will
forget all else save Thee, -- seeking no other comfort, grace, health or life,
and sacrificing all for Thee!’
Pray in this manner
for me and I will pray so for you.”
