Day 2102: Eat. Love. Pray. Use these words I your Blog entry today.

I pray
saying the prayers
revealed by Baha'u'llah,
The Bab,
or 'Abdu'l-Baha
because they are the most powerful prayers
in this day.

"Intone, O My servant, the verses of God that have been received by thee, as intoned by them who have drawn nigh unto Him, that the sweetness of thy melody may kindle thine own soul, and attract the hearts of all men. Whoso reciteth, in the privacy of his chamber, the verses revealed by God, the scattering angels of the Almighty shall scatter abroad the fragrance of the words uttered by his mouth, and shall cause the heart of every righteous man to throb. Though he may, at first, remain unaware of its effect, yet the virtue of the grace vouchsafed unto him must needs sooner or later exercise its influence upon his soul. Thus have the mysteries of the Revelation of God been decreed by virtue of the Will of Him Who is the Source of power and wisdom."

Bahá’u’lláh12

I meditate on the four types love
as spoken of
by 'Abdu'l-Baha in Paris Talks34:
         The love of God for humanity;
         The love of humanity for God:
         The love of God for His own Identity;
         The love of the individual human being for another human or other humans.

I eat to live!
To experience another day of prayer,
and of God's love.
