O God, my God! Aid Thou Thy trusted servants to have loving
and tender hearts. Help them to spread, amongst all the nations of the earth,
the light of guidance that cometh from the Company on high. Verily Thou art the
Strong, the Powerful, the Mighty, the All-Subduing, the Ever-Giving. Verily
Thou art the Generous, the Gentle, the Tender, the Most Bountiful. (‘Abdu'l-Baha,
