O Lord! Fill their ears with the verses of divine assistance and of a
speedy victory, and deliver them from the oppression of such as wield
terrible might. Withhold the hands of the wicked and leave not these souls
to be torn by the claws and teeth of fierce beasts, for they are
captivated by their love for Thee, entrusted with the mysteries of Thy
holiness, stand humbly at Thy door and have attained to Thine exalted
precinct.
O Lord! Graciously reinforce them with a new spirit; illumine their eyes
by enabling them to behold Thy wondrous evidences in the gloom of night;
destine for them all good that aboundeth in Thy Kingdom of eternal
mysteries; make them as brilliant stars shining over all regions,
luxuriant trees laden with fruit and branches moving in the breezes of
dawn.
Verily, Thou are the Bountiful, the Mighty, the Omnipotent, the
Unconstrained. There is none other God but Thee, the God of love and
tender mercy, the All-Glorious, the Ever-Forgiving.
--'Abdu'l-Baha
MOTHER TEMPLE OF THE WEST
"O God, my God! I implore Thee with a throbbing..."
O God, my God! I implore Thee with a throbbing heart and streaming tears
to aid whosoever expendeth his energy for the erection of this House, and
the construction of this Building wherein Thy name is mentioned every morn
and every eve.
