July 11
O ye rulers of the earth! Wherefore have ye clouded the
radiance of the Sun, and caused it to cease from shining? Hearken unto the
counsel given you by the Pen of the Most High, that haply both ye and the poor
may attain unto tranquillity and peace. We beseech God to assist the kings of
the earth to establish peace on earth. He, verily, doth what He willeth.
(Baha’u’llah, ‘Gleanings from the Writings of Bahá'u'lláh’; The Compilation of
Compilations, vol. II, Peace)
