The Day of Beauty

Jamál (Beauty), 1 Kalimát (Words) 177 B.E. Sunday, July 12, 2020
Feast of Words

"O my God! O my God! Unite the hearts of Thy servants, and reveal to them Thy great purpose. May they follow Thy commandments and abide in Thy law. Help them, O God, in their endeavor, and grant them strength to serve Thee. O God! Leave them not to themselves, but guide their steps by the light of Thy knowledge, and cheer their hearts by Thy love. Verily, Thou art their Helper and their Lord."

Bahá’u’lláh1

I believe in the power of prayer,
therefore,
I recite a prayer revealed
by the Ancient Beauty--
Baha'u'llah--
for peace and unity.

The Day of Beauty

This is the Day of Beauty,
one of God's attributes,
which is reflected to humanity
though the mirror of God's glory.

This is the beginning
of the Wondrous2 month of Words,
another divine attribute reflected to humanity
by Baha'u'llah.
