December 1

Abandon that which ye possess, and seize that which God, Who layeth low the necks of men, hath brought. Know ye of a certainty that if ye turn not back from that which ye have committed, chastisement will overtake you on every side, and ye shall behold things more grievous than that which ye beheld aforetime. (Baha’u’llah, quoted by Shoghi Effendi in ‘The Promised Day Is Come’)
