This Wondrous Gift Calls for Thanksgiving

“This wondrous gift calls for thanksgiving, and this heavenly bestowal warrants praise and glorification.”

Bahíyyih Khánum · Bahíyyih Khánum: The Greatest Holy Leaf

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

Praise be to God that through His gracious bounty you were enabled to visit His exalted, His sacred and luminous Threshold, to refresh and perfume your nostrils with the sweet-scented fragrances of God diffused from these imperishable, holy Places. This wondrous gift calls for thanksgiving, and this heavenly bestowal warrants praise and glorification.

And such praise is best expressed when one’s pilgrimage, one’s honour at attaining His holy Court and becoming the recipient of His favours and loving-kindness produce a profound effect and influence upon every aspect of one’s life, upon one’s bearing and demeanour, and one’s activities. There is no doubt that it will be so.
