The National Spiritual Assembly is delighted to share the following news from a letter…written on behalf of the Universal House of Justice, about the progress that has been made in the construction of the Shrine of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá.
“…Shoghi Effendi has written that ‘the progress and execution of spiritual activities’ is ‘conditioned upon material means’. Thus, your contributions both help sustain the activities and channel financial resources in ways that promote the well-being of humanity.”
“The measure of what you have achieved—not only in the last few weeks, but during a two-year period of remarkable advance now brought to a stunning climax—compels us to address you who are the visible hosts of a movement that has proved itself irrepressible.”
“[T]he National Spiritual Assembly wishes to capture, however inadequately, the inspiring ways in which the Canadian community has marked this momentous period in our history”
“We mourn the loss of an extraordinary figure who leaves behind a distinguished legacy of uninterrupted service to the Cause of God.”
“…[L]ike a spring storm, the Báb came to purge and purify, to uproot the withered and spent customs of a wayward age, and to wash away the obscuring dust from the eyes of those blinded by illusion.”
“How might each team, each family, each community celebrate the Holy Days themselves in settings small and large, as part of the worldwide wave that will encircle the planet?”
“The structure that is envisaged in the design seeks to honour ‘Abdu’l-Bahá’s unique position as the Centre of the Covenant, and to reflect at once His lofty station and His humility.”
“More and more, the believers are describing how the sweetness of teaching is becoming a way of life. More and more, they are finding in their receptive friends, families and new acquaintances the kindred spirits with whom they will walk a path of service.”
“As preparations for the bicentenary of the Birth of the Báb are continuing to accelerate across the country, we are writing to draw your attention to two resources available to support your local celebrations.”
