Hopelessness
Things have come to such a pass that hope hath well nigh been banished from the hearts of Thy chosen ones, and the breaths of despair are ready to seize them, by reason of what hath befallen them in Thy days.
- Bahá’u’lláh, Prayers and Meditations by Bahá’u’lláh, p. 335-336
Quote of the Day
Istiqlal 13 Sultan 182 B.E.
Institutions that are entirely managed by Bahá’ís are, for reasons that are only too obvious, under the obligation of enforcing all the laws and ordinances of the Faith, especially those whose observance constitutes a matter of conscience. There is no reason, no justification whatsoever, that they should act otherwise. . . .
