"Day and night I entreat and supplicate to the Kingdom of God and beg for you infinite assistance and confirmation.  Do not take into consideration your own aptitudes and capacities, but fix your gaze on the consummate bounty, the divine bestowal and the power of the Holy Spirit - the power that converteth the drop into a sea and the star into a sun."

('Abdu'l-Bahá: Selections from the Writings of 'Abdu'l-Bahá, Page 104)

Volume 1, No. 5 - September-November 2003

O Daughter of the Kingdom!

…Thus it is necessary to focus one’s thinking on a single point so that it will become an effective force.

(Writings of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá #73)
