Fulfill his heart's desire, O Lord! Illumine his heart,
gladden his bosom, kindle his light, that he may serve Thy Cause and Thy
servants.
Thou art the Bestower, the Pitiful, the Most Bountiful, the Gracious, the
Merciful, the Compassionate.
--'Abdu'l-Baha
INTERCALARY DAYS
"My God, my Fire and my Light! The days..."
(The Intercalary Days, February 26 to March 1, inclusive, should be days
of preparation for the Fast, days of hospitality, charity and the giving
of presents.)
My God, my Fire and my Light! The days which Thou hast named the
Ayyam-i-Ha(12) in Thy Book have begun, O Thou Who art the King of names,
and the fast which Thy most exalted Pen hath enjoined unto all who are in
the kingdom of Thy creation to observe is approaching. I entreat Thee, O
my Lord, by these days and by all such as have during that period clung to
the cord of Thy commandments, and laid hold on the handle of Thy precepts,
to grant that unto every soul may be assigned a place within the precincts
of Thy court, and a seat at the revelation of the splendors of the light
of Thy countenance.
