O Thou Whose Face Is Radiant with the Light of the Love of God!
'Abdu'l-Bahá, Tablets of 'Abdu'l-Bahá Abbas, (1909) · Read original
When in Bahá'í history
O thou whose face is radiant with the light of the Love of God!
Verily, the angel of mercy heralds to thee the glad-tidings which are the light of the eyes of the sincere believers and the illumination of the countenance of the virtuous and pious.
Rest assured in God! Engage in commemoration of God; be aglow with the fire of the love of God and be severed from all else save God. This is the spirit of life for the soul who is submissive to the Word of God.
