'Abdu'l-Baha's Desires and Prayers

'Abdu'l-Baha's
Desires and Prayers

"Day and night I pray to Heaven for you that strength may be yours, and that, one and all, you may participate in the blessings of Bahá’u’lláh, and enter into the Kingdom.

'Abdu'l-Baha12

'Abdu'l-Baha's prayers
were for human beings
to become new creatures
shedding the light of Divine love
and guidance
across the planet.

That we should experience
the blessing of Baha'u'llah
and enter the Kingdom of God.

So let us strive
with heart and soul
to follow 'Abdu'l-Baha's example
of selfless service
to humanity.
