Bicentenary Poems and Prose

Feast of Honour:

Feast of Honour:
To the Blessed Beauty

"Thou seest me, O my God, detached from all save Thee and cleaving unto Thee. Guide me, then, in all mine affairs unto that which profiteth me for the glory of Thy Cause and the loftiness of the station of thy loved ones."

Bahá’u’lláh1

Each Nineteen-day Feast
is another chance to celebrate
and partake
of the Lord's Supper.

It is another chance to communicate
with the Local Spiritual Assembly
and to get to know
the Baha'is in my community.

The glory
of each Feast
is sensing the Holy Spirit
flow through the room
touching
the soul of each participant.

The excellence
of a Feast
is in the encouragement
each person receives
in their teaching efforts.

There is no honor greater
the proclaiming
the name Baha'u'llah.
