O my Lord and my Hope! Help Thou

Thy loved ones to be steadfast

in Thy mighty Covenant, to remain

faithful to Thy manifest Cause, and to

carry out the commandments Thou

didst set down for them in Thy Book

of Splendors; that they may become

banners of guidance and lamps of the

Company above, wellsprings of Thine

infinite wisdom, and stars that lead

aright, as they shine down from the

supernal sky.

Verily, art Thou the Invincible, the

Almighty, the All-Powerful.

—‘Abdu’l-Bahá
