“O Thou kind Lord! These lovely children are…”

O Thou kind Lord! These lovely children are the handiwork of the fingers of Thy might and the wondrous signs of Thy greatness. O God! Protect these children, graciously assist them to be educated and enable them to render service to the world of humanity. O God!

Thou art the Bountiful, the All-Loving.
—‘Abdu’l-Bahá
