Morning
Lo, the appointed time is now arrived, and Carmel crieth out as if moved to ecstasy by the soul-stirring breezes of her Lord. Happy are those who hear her cry! Whoso hearkeneth with his inner ear shall hear the voice of the Rock [Peter] as he beareth witness, with a mighty voice, to the Everlasting God. Blessed are they who perceive the savour of Divine utterance and, severing themselves from the world of being, advance towards the Kingdom. Behold! The things that had been mentioned in the Books of old have now appeared, and yet the people, though they look upon them, comprehend them not!
- Baha’u’llah (‘Additional Tablets and Extracts from Tablets Revealed by
Bahá’u’lláh; online Baha’i Reference Library of the Baha’i World center)
Evening
Busy thyself in the remembrance of God and unloose thy tongue in celebrating His praise with utmost joy and radiance. God, the Exalted, the True is with thee. He is kinder than a father and more compassionate than a son.
- Baha’u’llah (From a Tablet; compilation: ‘Fire and Light’, prepared
