Contrition
Increase their sincerity, so that with all humility and contrition they may turn to Thy kingdom and be occupied with service to the world of humanity.
- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, The Promulgation of Universal Peace, p. 55-56
Thou seest me rolling my face in the dust of humility and contrition, supplicating toward the Kingdom of Thy Might, yearning for the contemplation of Thy Greatness, entreating Thy Grandeur, invoking at the Threshold of Thy Mercifulness, beseeching the realm of Thy Singleness, acknowledging my shortcomings, longing for Thy bounty, desiring Thy concealing veil and expecting the outpouring of the rain of Thy favor upon all the meadows and mountains!
- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá v3, p. 570
Quote of the Day
Istiqlal 1 Nur 183 B.E.
In the treasuries of the knowledge of God there lieth concealed a knowledge which, when applied, will largely, though not wholly, eliminate fear. This knowledge, however, should be taught from childhood, as it will greatly aid in its elimination . Whatever decreaseth fear increaseth courage.
Bahá’u’lláh – Epistle to the Son of the Wolf, p. 32
