Do not bring our
fasts to an end with this fast, O my Lord, nor the covenants Thou hast made
with this covenant. Do Thou accept all that we have done for love of Thee, and
for the sake of Thy pleasure, and all that we have left undone as a result of
our subjection to our evil and corrupt desires. Enable us, then, to cleave
steadfastly to Thy love and Thy good-pleasure, and preserve us from the mischief
of such as have denied Thee and repudiated Thy most resplendent signs.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Prayers and Meditations by
Baha’u’llah’)
