"I have not created
spirits and men, but that they should worship me."(4) Wherefore, wed Thou
in the heaven of Thy mercy these two birds of the nest of Thy love, and
make them the means of attracting perpetual grace; that from the union of
these two seas of love a wave of tenderness may surge and cast the pearls
of pure and goodly issue on the shore of life. "He hath let loose the two
seas, that they meet each other: Between them is a barrier which they
overpass not. Which then of the bounties of your Lord will ye deny? From
each He bringeth up greater and lesser pearls."(5)
O Thou kind Lord! Make Thou this marriage to bring forth coral and pearls.
Thou art verily the All-Powerful, the Most Great, the Ever-Forgiving.
--'Abdu'l-Baha
"Glory be unto Thee, O my God! Verily, this..."
Glory be unto Thee, O my God! Verily, this Thy servant and this Thy
maidservant have gathered under the shadow of Thy mercy and they are
united through Thy favor and generosity. O Lord! Assist them in this Thy
world and Thy kingdom and destine for them every good through Thy bounty
and grace. O Lord! Confirm them in Thy servitude and assist them in Thy
service.
