As to thee, be confident in the mercy of thy Lord, and ask what thou
desirest. Verily, God is the Generous, the Giver!

O maid-servant of God, who art supplicating unto the Sublime Kingdom!
Grieve not at the divine trials. Be not troubled because of hardships and
ordeals; turn unto God, bowing in humbleness and praying to Him, while
bearing every ordeal, contented under all conditions and thankful in every
difficulty. Verily thy Lord loveth His maid-servants who are patient,
believing and firm. He draws them nigh unto Him through these ordeals and
trials.
Be not sorrowful on account of the departure of thy good son. He hath
indeed departed from this narrow and gloomy world which is darkened by
unlimited sorrow, unto the Kingdom which is spacious, illumined, joyous
and beautiful. God delivered him from this dark well and promoted him unto
the Supreme Height! He gave him wings whereby he soared to the heaven of
happiness. Verily this is the great mercy from Him who is precious and
forgiving.
“O thou who art advancing to the Dawning-point of...”
O thou who art advancing to the Dawning-point of Lights!
Extend the hands of communion unto the sacred and brilliant Threshold and
read the following prayer:
O my God! O my God! Glory be unto Thee for that Thou hast confirmed me to
the confession of Thy Oneness, attracted me unto the word of Thy
Singleness, enkindled me by the fire of Thy love, and occupied me with Thy
mention and the service of Thy friends and maid-servants.
O Lord, help me to be meek and lowly and strengthen me in severing myself
from all things and in holding to the hem of the garment of Thy Glory, so
that my heart may be filled with Thy love and leave no space for the love
of the world and the attachment to its qualities.
O God! Sanctify me from all else save Thee, purge me from the dross of
sins and transgressions and cause me to possess a spiritual heart and
conscience.
Verily Thou art merciful and verily Thou art the Generous, the Helper.
“O thou dear maid-servant of God!...”
O thou dear maid-servant of God!
Thy likeness (photograph) was received through Mrs. .......... and was
seen. The light of faith shone in thy brow and the smile of the Kingdom in
thy face. When I saw that likeness, I supplicated and implored, at the
Threshold of the Lord of the Kingdom, to make thee a dear one of the two
realms and to free thee from every fetter save the love of God.
“O thou flower perfumed by the Breaths of the Love...”
O thou flower perfumed by the Breaths of the Love of God!
