Lauded art Thou, O Lord, for having singled out Thy loved
ones and chosen them from amongst Thy people, and for having turned Thy gaze
towards them from this spot wherein He Who is the Embodiment of Thy Cause lieth
imprisoned. O Lord, withhold not from them the things Thou dost possess, but so
enrapture their hearts through the breezes of Thy Revelation that they may
detach themselves from all else but Thee and set their faces towards the court
of Thy grace and generosity. Potent art Thou to do what Thou pleasest, and
powerful art Thou over all things. All praise be to Thee, O Desire of the worlds! - Baha’u’llah (‘Days of Remembrance’)
