ght and grandeur. Their footsteps have been strengthened in Thy
Covenant and their hearts made firm in Thy Testament. Lord! Do Thou kindle
in their hearts the flame of Thy divine attraction and grant that the bird
of love and understanding may sing within their hearts. Grant that they
may be even as potent signs, resplendent standards, and perfect as Thy
Word. Exalt by them Thy Cause, unfurl Thy banners and publish far and wide
Thy wonders. Make by them Thy Word triumphant, and strengthen the loins of
Thy loved ones. Unloose their tongues to laud Thy Name, and inspire them
to do Thy holy will and pleasure. Illumine their faces in Thy Kingdom of
holiness, and perfect their joy by aiding them to arise for the triumph of
Thy Cause.

Lord! Feeble are we, strengthen us to diffuse the fragrances of Thy
Holiness; poor, enrich us from the treasures of Thy Divine Unity; naked,
clothe us with the robe of Thy bounty; sinful, forgive us our sins by Thy
grace, Thy favor and Thy pardon. Thou art, verily, the Aider, the Helper,
the Gracious, the Mighty, the Powerful.

The glory of glories rest upon them that are fast and firm.

--'Abdu'l-Baha

O my God! O my God! Verily, I invoke Thee and supplicate before Thy
threshold, asking Thee that all Thy mercies may descend upon these souls.
Specialize them for Thy favor and Thy truth.

O Lord! Unite and bind together the hearts, join in accord all the souls,
and exhilarate the spirits through the signs of Thy sanctity and oneness.
O Lord! Make these faces radiant through the light of Thy oneness.
Strengthen the loins of Thy servants in the service of Thy kingdom.

O Lord, Thou possessor of infinite mercy! O Lord of forgiveness and
pardon! Forgive our sins, pardon our shortcomings, and cause us to turn to
the kingdom of Thy clemency, invoking the kingdom of might and power,
humble at Thy shrine and submissive before the glory of Thine evidences.

O Lord God! M
