Morning
Let these exalted words be thy love-song on the tree of Bahá, O thou most holy and resplendent Leaf: ‘God, besides Whom is none other God, the Lord of this world and the next!’ Verily, We have elevated thee [the Greatest Holy Leaf] to the rank of one of the most distinguished among thy sex, and granted thee, in My court, a station such as none other woman hath surpassed. Thus have We preferred thee and raised thee above the rest, as a sign of grace from Him Who is the Lord of the throne on high and earth below. We have created thine eyes to behold the light of My countenance, thine ears to hearken unto the melody of My words, thy body to pay homage before My throne. Do thou render thanks unto God, thy Lord, the Lord of all the world.
- Baha’u’llah (From a Tablet; compilation: ‘Holy Places at the Baha’i World Centre’, prepared
by the Research Department of the Universal House of Justice’)
Evening
Thou [the Purest Branch] art the Trust of God and His Treasure in this Land. Erelong will God reveal through thee that which He hath desired.
- Baha’u’llah (Quoted by Shoghi Effendi in ‘God Passes By’)
