I testify, O my God, that this is the Day whereon Thy
testimony hath been fulfilled, and Thy clear tokens have been manifested, and
Thine utterances have been revealed, and Thy signs have been demonstrated, and
the radiance of Thy countenance hath been diffused, and Thy proof hath been
perfected, and Thine ascendancy hath been established, and Thy mercy hath
overflowed, and the Day-Star of Thy grace hath shone forth with such brilliance
that Thou didst manifest Him Who is the Revealer of Thyself and the Treasury of
Thy wisdom and the Dawning-Place of Thy majesty and power. Thou didst establish
His covenant with every one who hath been created in the kingdoms of earth and
heaven and in the realms of revelation and of creation. Thou didst raise Him up
to such heights that the wrongs inflicted by the oppressors have been powerless
to deter Him from revealing Thy sovereignty, and the ascendancy of the wayward
hath failed to prevent Him from demonstrating Thy power and from exalting Thy
Cause.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Prayers and Meditations by Baha’u’llah’)
