Like unto Peter, the Rock

“I pray to God that thou mayest enter into such a state that presence and absence may become equal in thine understanding.”

'Abdu'l-Bahá · Tablets of 'Abdu'l-Bahá Abbas

'Abdu'l-Bahá's ministry (1892–1921) · 1 min

O thou who hast turned thy face toward the Kingdom of God!

1 / 3

I supplicate God that thou mayest become like unto Peter, the “Rock”—unshaken, immovable and strong; be assisted by heavenly confirmation; be helped to the service of the Cause of God, opening thy tongue to teach the divine instructions, and living and walking according to the laws of the Book of Akdas.

2 / 3

Thou hast asked permission to come to our presence: These days are very difficult. God willing, it will be brought about in the future. I pray to God that thou mayest enter into such a state that presence and absence may become equal in thine understanding.
