Na ‘Abdu’l-Bahá

O my God! O Thou forgiver of sins,

bestower of gifts, dispeller of

afflictions!

Verily, I beseech Thee to forgive the

sins of such as have abandoned the

physical garment and have ascended to

the spiritual world.

O my Lord! Purify them from

trespasses, dispel their sorrows, and

change their darkness into light. Cause

them to enter the garden of happiness,

cleanse them with the most pure water,

and grant them to behold Thy splendors

on the loftiest mount.

—‘Abdu’l-Bahá
