Added Sacrifice and More Energetic Striving
On behalf of Shoghi Effendi, Bahíyyih Khánum, (1982), p. Part IV, no. 25 · Read original
When in Bahá'í history
Surely there is nothing that will console the Guardian more than the happy news that the Cause for which the Greatest Holy Leaf lived and suffered is gradually spreading and embracing the whole of the people of the world.
She is undoubtedly conscious of our activities, following our work and impatiently awaiting the result of our battles. Let her passing, therefore, be a source of added sacrifice and more energetic striving on the part of her devoted friends and lovers.
