“O ye maid-servants of His Majesty, the Lord—daughters…” |
O ye maid-servants of His Majesty, the Lord—daughters
and sons of the Kingdom!

The meeting of the Lord’s Supper, which you held in
the home of Mr. and Mrs. ….….. (was blessed)
with the lights of the Beauty of the Merciful, which
shone from the Kingdom of Abha, and Abdul-Baha was
present in spirit and heart although absent in body.
676
That meeting was exceedingly bright, and as the rose-garden,
emitted a pleasant fragrance.
|
Meetings organized with the utmost holiness and
piety, wherein those who are present engage in the mention
and thought of God, and wherein the verses of Oneness
are chanted and the prayers of the Threshold of the
Lord of Verses are offered and the exhortations and
counsels of the Blessed Beauty recited, such meetings are
illumined, spiritual, divine and heavenly. They are the
means of training the world of humanity.

The bounty and grace of God in this illumined cycle
is like the ocean. Every instant it surges, reaching the
apogee with its waves and inundating the shores of existence.
Therefore, O ye maid-servants of the Merciful
and servants of God, endeavor while this ocean is still
surging and this cloud raining and pouring, to make the
surface of the earth feel the reality, that it may grow the
hyacinths, the flowers and fruits of concord, peace, love,
faith, realities and significances.
