O Thou incomparable God! O Thou
Lord of the Kingdom! These souls
are Thy heavenly army. Assist them
and, with the cohorts of the Supreme
Concourse, make them victorious, so
that each one of them may become like
unto a regiment and conquer these
countries through the love of God and
the illumination of divine teachings.
O God! Be Thou their supporter and
their helper, and in the wilderness, the
mountain, the valley, the forests, the
prairies and the seas, be Thou their
confidant—so that they may cry out
through the power of the Kingdom and
the breath of the Holy Spirit.
Verily, Thou art the Powerful, the
Mighty and the Omnipotent, and Thou
art the Wise, the Hearing and the Seeing.
—‘Abdu’l-Bahá
