Feast of Beauty
Feast of Beauty:
To the Blessed Beauty

"Say: This is the Day of Bounty! Bestir yourselves that I may make you monarchs in the realms of My Kingdom. If ye follow Me, ye shall behold that which ye were promised, and I will make you My companions in the dominion of My majesty and the intimates of My beauty in the heaven of My power forevermore. If ye rebel against Me, I will in My clemency endure it patiently, that haply ye may awaken and rise up from the couch of heedlessness. Thus hath My mercy encompassed you. Fear ye God and follow not in the ways of those who have turned away from His face, though they invoke His name in the daytime and in the night season."
Bahá’u’lláh1


Upon the table of grace,
The Blessed Beauty has placed
The fruits of the Tree of Life
And the wine of Divine love.

We gather around the table,
Intoning our gratitude
For the food of fortitude
That gives strength to hungry souls.

Followers of God's Glory,
We consume the Feast of Beauty,
At the Supper of our Lord.
