December 24

Morning

Blessed are they that occupy themselves in the House of Worship with the remembrance of Him Who is the Lord of the righteous! Blessed are they that arise in the service of this House! Blessed are they that have raised up this House! 

- Baha’u’llah (Quoted by the Universal House of Justice in a message dated 1, September 2017 ‘To the Friends Gathered in Battambang, Cambodia, for the Dedication of the House of Worship)

Evening

Viewed in the light of their [Manifestations of God] second station—the station of distinction, differentiation, temporal limitations, characteristics and standards,—they manifest absolute servitude, utter destitution and complete self-effacement. Even as He saith: “I am the servant of God. [Qur’án 19:31] I am but a man like you.” [Qur’án 18:110] 

- Baha’u’llah (‘The Kitab-i-Iqan)
