ercy the rains of Thy healing
upon this suckling, whom Thou hast related unto Thine all-glorious Self in
the kingdom of Thy creation. Clothe him, then, O my God, by Thy grace,
with the robe of well-being and health, and guard him, O my Beloved, from
every affliction and disorder, and from whatever is obnoxious unto Thee.
Thy might, verily, is equal to all things. Thou, in truth, art the Most
Powerful, the Self-Subsisting. Send down, moreover, upon him, O my God,
the good of this world and of the next, and the good of the former and
latter generations. Thy might and Thy wisdom are, verily, equal unto this.

CXLVIII: "GLORY BE TO THEE, O LORD MY GOD! I IMPLORE THEE..."

Glory be to Thee, O Lord my God! I implore Thee by Thy Name, through which
Thou didst lift up the ensigns of Thy guidance, and didst shed the
radiance of Thy loving-kindness, and didst reveal the sovereignty of Thy

of Thy guidance were made known, and the paths of Thy good pleasure were
marked out; through which the foundations of error have been made to

vouchsafe Thy healing; through which Thou didst show forth Thy tender
mercies unto Thy servants and revealedst Thy forgiveness amidst Thy
creatures--I implore Thee to keep safe him who hath held fast and returned
unto Thee, and clung to Thy mercy, and seized the hem of Thy loving
providence. Send down, then, upon him Thy healing, and make him whole, and
endue him with a constancy vouchsafed by Thee, and a tranquillity bestowed
by Thy highness.

Thou art, verily, the Healer, the Preserver, the Helper, the Almighty, the
Powerful, the All-Glorious, the All-Knowing.

CXLIX: "GLORIFIED ART THOU, O MY GOD! I GIVE PRAISE TO..."

Glorified art Thou, O my God! I give praise to Thee, that Thou hast made
me able so to reveal Thine utterances, and manifest Thy proofs and Thy
testimonies, that every proof hath been made to circle round my will, and
every testimony to compass my pleasure. Thou seest me, O my Lord, lying at
the mercy of Thine adversaries, who have repudiated
