Much Relief to My Weary Soul

“Your highly impressive and touching message brought much relief to my weary soul.”

Shoghi Effendi · Bahíyyih Khánum: The Greatest Holy Leaf

Formative Age / Shoghi Effendi (1921–1957) · 1 min

Your highly impressive and touching message brought much relief to my weary soul. I thank you from the depths of my heart. I greatly value the sentiments expressed on behalf of a local community, the members of which have, by their services, their devotion and loyalty, contributed, to so great an extent, to the joy and satisfaction of the hearts of both ‘Abdu’l-Bahá and the Greatest Holy Leaf.

My great attachment to each one of you, as well as my immense love for our departed and beloved Khánum, have prompted me to add these few words in person. I will continue to pray for the success of your efforts, as well as for your spiritual advancement.
