O HANDMAID of God! Hearken unto the Voice of the
Lord of Names, Who from His Prison hath directed His
gaze towards thee and is making mention of thee.

He hath extended assistance to every wayfarer, hath
graciously responded to every petitioner and granted admittance
to every seeker after truth. In this Day the Straight
Path is made manifest, the Balance of divine justice is set
and the light of the sun of His bounty is resplendent, yet the
oppressive darkness of the people of tyranny hath, even as
clouds, intervened and caused a grievous obstruction
between the Day-Star of heavenly grace and the people of
the world. Blessed is he who hath rent the intervening veils
asunder and is illumined by the radiant light of divine
Revelation. Consider how numerous were those who
accounted themselves among the wise and the learned, yet
in the Day of God were deprived of the outpourings of
heavenly bounties.

O My leaf, O My handmaid! Appreciate the value of
this blessing and of this tender mercy which hath encompassed
thee and guided thy steps unto the Dayspring of
glory.

Convey greetings on behalf of this Wronged One to
such handmaidens as worship God and cheer their hearts
with the assurance of His loving providence.
