April 9
In the abundance of Our grace and
loving-kindness We have revealed specially for the rulers and ministers of the
world that which is conducive to safety and protection, tranquillity and peace;
haply the children of men may rest secure from the evils of oppression. He,
verily, is the Protector, the Helper, the Giver of victory. It is incumbent
upon the men of God's House of Justice to fix their gaze by day and by night
upon that which hath shone forth from the Pen of Glory for the training of
peoples, the upbuilding of nations, the protection of man and the safeguarding
of his honour. (Baha’u’llah, ‘Tablets of Bahá'u'lláh revealed after the
Kitab-i-Aqdas’; The Compilation of Compilations, vol. II, Peace)
