The Esslingen Bahá’í Assembly

|
On behalf of the Guardian I wish to acknowledge with deepest
thanks and appreciation the receipt of your welcome message of
the 18th instant.
|
He is, indeed, very happy to learn of the news of the progress of
the Cause in Esslingen, and of the recent accomplishments of
your Assembly in that center. The improvements that you have
made in the Bahá’í Home will, undoubtedly, rejoice all the friends
in Germany and will greatly encourage them to attend the next
Summer School. He hopes that the believers outside Germany
will also be attracted to your centre, and will thus contribute to
the further growth and consolidation of your community.
|
The Guardian is continually supplicating on your behalf at the
Holy Shrines, that Divine confirmations may strengthen and
guide your Assembly in the discharge of its heavy duties and
responsibilities.
|
He will also remember all the other friends in Esslingen, and
will ask the Almighty to bless and inspire them all in the service
of His Cause.
|
With most loving greetings and best wishes for a happy and
prosperous season…

Your message brought joy and imparted strength and hope to my
heart. I deeply value your constancy, your devotion, your unremitting
labours, your notable services to our beloved Faith. I will continue
to pray that your numbers may increase, your influence may
deepen, and your hopes may be fuller and speedily realized.
Persevere and never lose heart,

Your true brother,
