O God, my God! Illumine the brows of

Thy true lovers, and support them

with angelic hosts of certain triumph. Set

firm their feet on Thy straight path, and

out of Thine ancient bounty open before

them the portals of Thy blessings; for they

are expending on Thy pathway what Thou

hast bestowed upon them, safeguarding

Thy Faith, putting their trust in their

remembrance of Thee, offering up their

hearts for love of Thee, and withholding

not what they possess in adoration for

Thy Beauty and in their search for ways to

please Thee.

O my Lord! Ordain for them a plenteous

share, a destined recompense and sure

reward.

Verily, Thou art the Sustainer, the Helper,

the Generous, the Bountiful, the Ever

Bestowing.

—‘Abdu’l-Bahá
