Sunday Thoughts, Poems, and Gratitude List

Jamál (Beauty), 1 Qudrat (Power) 175 B.E. - Sunday, November 4, 2018
Feast of Qudrat

"The purpose of God in creating man hath been, and will ever be, to enable him to know his Creator and to attain His Presence. To this most excellent aim, this supreme objective, all the heavenly Books and the divinely-revealed and weighty Scriptures unequivocally bear witness."

Baha’u’llah1

Sacred Scriptures2

God is an Unknowable Essence
all the sacred scriptures bear witness
to the existence and love of the Almighty.

Read each Holy Book
with joy and happiness,
asking the Almighty to help
you understand the inner meaning.

A single paragraph
or verse twice a day,
morning and evening,
in joy and reverence.
