“O thou maid-servant of God!…” |
|
Thy writing was considered. I ask God that thy
mind
1
may be illumined with the light of knowledge
and faith to the extent that thy face will radiate its
glory, even as a light, when set aglow in the lamp, will
cast its rays to the surrounding regions.
|
|
I hope that the darkness of evil suggestions shall be
dispersed and that the veil of uncertainty shall be torn
asunder; that the beauty of truth may become manifest
with glory and the light of mercy become radiant. Thus
mayest thou, O maid-servant of God, with thy honorable
husband and revered son, become free from the
57
severe trials and appear with grace in the gatherings
of the people of God.
