... calamities have always been and will continue to be the lot of God's chosen ones. Therefore, blessed is the one who is satisfied with and thankful for all that hath visited him. For nothing from God touches a person except what is best for him of all that hath been created between the heavens and the earth. Since people are unaware of this mystery and its secrets, they are saddened when calamity strikes. (Baha’u’llah, provisional translation, approved by the Universal House of Justice for inclusion in the book ‘Leaves of the Twin Divine Trees’)
