O God! O God! I implore Thee with throbbing heart and
streaming tears, to aid each one who endeavors for the erection of the House of
the Lord (Mashriqu’l-Adhkar), the Building wherein Thy Name is mentioned every
morn and eve. Send down Thy benediction on whomsoever endeavors for the
uprising of this Edifice among the sects and religions, and confirm him in
every good deed of mankind; open the doors of riches and wealth unto him and
make him an inheritor of the treasures of the Kingdom which perish not; make
him the sign of giving among the peoples and reinforce him by the sea of Thy
generosity and bounty, which is surging with the waves of grace and favor.
Verily, Thou art the Generous, the Merciful and the
Bountiful!
‘Abdu’l-Baha (Star of the West, vol. 5, no. 5, June 5, 1914)
