O Divine Providence! This assemblage
is composed of Thy friends who are
attracted to Thy beauty and are set ablaze
by the fire of Thy love. Turn these souls
into heavenly angels, resuscitate them
through the breath of Thy Holy Spirit,
grant them eloquent tongues and resolute
hearts, bestow upon them heavenly power
and merciful susceptibilities, cause them to
become the promulgators of the oneness of
mankind and the cause of love and concord
in the world of humanity, so that the
perilous darkness of ignorant prejudice may
vanish through the light of the Sun of Truth,
this dreary world may become illumined,
this material realm may absorb the rays of
the world of spirit, these different colors
may merge into one color and the melody
of praise may rise to the kingdom of Thy
sanctity.
Verily, Thou art the Omnipotent and the
Almighty!
—‘Abdu’l-Bahá
