Letter of 30 August 1952

|
To the Bahá’í Youth who attended the first and second week of the
Annual Youth Summer School at Heppenheim.
|
He was happy to see you are so active, because very great things
lie ahead of the Bahá’í Youth, in particular during the next ten
years; when you see what the task of Germany must be, (the
details of which he will be revealing at the time of the Stockholm
Conference), you will understand how great is the need for your
services during the next decade.
|
The future has always belonged to youth, and now more than
ever before, in order to ensure the fulfilment of Bahá’u’lláh’s plans
for this planet, the youth must labour and pioneer.
|
Now is the time, therefore, to consecrate yourselves and prepare
yourselves for the work that lies ahead of you, and of all the young
Bahá’ís the world-over. You must study both the teaching and the
Administration, in order to be ready and qualified—qualified
with both knowledge and shining personal characters…
|
|
May the Almighty guide your steps, aid and sustain you always,
and enable you to contribute effectively to the progress of our beloved
Faith and the consolidation of its nascent institutions.
|
Your true brother,
Shoghi
