Letter of 27 August 1947

To the believers who were present in Dublin at the 19 Day Feast
of Kamál
|
|
Our beloved Guardian was very happy to receive your
message and to see that the Cause is now gaining a firm footing
in Eire.
|
He is particularly happy to welcome Mrs. Coleman into the
Faith as the first new Bahá’í in Dublin, and he hopes that ere long
you will be able to establish the first historic spiritual Assembly
in that city.
|
The Irish are tenacious in their religious beliefs, and once
convinced of the truth and significance of our glorious Faith
should make ardent and devoted Bahá’ís.
|
He assures you all of his loving prayers for the success of your
devoted labours.
|
|
|
Dear and valued co-workers,
|
Your joint message rejoiced my heart. I cherish great hopes for the
future of the work so splendidly initiated in that historic island. I will
pray from the depths of my heart for the extension and consolidation
of your meritorious activities to which I attach the utmost importance.
Persevere in your glorious task, and rest assured that the Beloved,
Who is watching over you, will bless your high endeavours and fulfil
your dearest hopes.
|
Your true and grateful brother,
Shoghi
