Spirituality
O thou who art assured in God! . . . Verily thy Lord will strengthen thee in great spirituality and cause thy heart to overflow with the gifts of God.
- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá v1, p. 121-122
Thank God our desire is for spirituality and for union with God.
- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, ‘Abdu’l-Bahá in London, p. 46
Thus, spirituality is the greatest of God's gifts, and 'Life Everlasting' means 'Turning to God'. May you, one and all, increase daily in spirituality, may you be strengthened in all goodness, may you be helped more and more by the Divine consolation, be made free by the Holy Spirit of God, and may the power of the Heavenly Kingdom live and work among you. This is my earnest desire, and I pray to God to grant you this favour.

Quote of the Day
Fidal 15 Sharaf 182 B.E.
Prosperity, contentment, and freedom, however much desired and conducive to the gladness of the human heart, can in no wise compare with the trials of . . . adversity in the pathway of God; for such exile and banishment are blessed by the divine favour, and are surely followed by the mercy of Providence.
