April 8
Say: The fierce gales
and whirlwinds of the world and its peoples can never shake the foundation upon
which the rocklike stability of My chosen ones is based. Gracious God! What
could have prompted these people to enslave and imprison the loved ones of Him
Who is the Eternal Truth? ... The day, however, is approaching when the
faithful will behold the Day Star of justice shining in its full splendor from
the Day Spring of glory. Thus instructeth thee the Lord of all being in this,
His grievous Prison. (Baha’u’llah, ‘Gleanings from the Writings of
Bahá'u'lláh’; The Compilation of Compilations vol. I, Crisis and Victory)
