Spirituality
O thou who art assured in God! . . . Verily thy Lord will strengthen thee in great spirituality and cause thy heart to overflow with the gifts of God.
- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá v1, p. 121-122
Thank God our desire is for spirituality and for union with God.
- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, ‘Abdu’l-Bahá in London, p. 46
Thus, spirituality is the greatest of God's gifts, and 'Life Everlasting' means 'Turning to God'. May you, one and all, increase daily in spirituality, may you be strengthened in all goodness, may you be helped more and more by the Divine consolation, be made free by the Holy Spirit of God, and may the power of the Heavenly Kingdom live and work among you. This is my earnest desire, and I pray to God to grant you this favour.

Quote of the Day
Jalal 9 Ilm 183 B.E.
As to the question regarding the soul of a murderer, and what his punishment would be, the answer given was that the murderer must expiate his crime: that is, if they put the murderer to death, his death is his atonement for his crime, and following the death, God in His justice will impose no second penalty upon him, for divine justice would not allow this.
