Letter of 12 September 1953 (Youth Summer Session)
12 September 1953 (Youth Summer Session)
Dear Bahá’í Friends:
The beloved Guardian has received the letter which you have sent him, and has instructed me to answer you on his behalf.
Now that the World Crusade has been launched, and is very actively operating, as you have no doubt been informed by those believers who were privileged to attend the third Intercontinental Teaching Conference recently held in 205 Stockholm, the Guardian is confident that you are fully conscious of the tremendous responsibilities placed on the shoulders of the German and Austrian Communities during the opening phase of this Ten-Year Crusade; and that you are, one and all, arising to fulfill those tasks in a befitting manner.
He will pray for you….
[From the Guardian:]
May the Almighty bless, guide and sustain you in your devoted endeavours, and enable you to win great victories in the service of His Faith,
Your true brother,
Shoghi
