"O thou who art afflicted by a visitation by which thine..."

1 |
O thou who art afflicted by a visitation by which thine
eyes are overflowing with tears!
|
2 |
Be not grieved and afflicted for this calamity which
hath befallen thee; nay, rather, rejoice that God hath
favored (thy babe) with His heavenly gifts. Truly,
I say unto thee, wert thou informed of that felicity
which thy babe hath attained in the worlds of God,
thy breast would be dilated and thy soul would be
purified. Truly, I say unto thee, thy child will be
fostered from the breast of the gift of God in the
Exalted Kingdom and will be nursed in the bosom of
mercy in the Supreme World of God. Therefore, be
filled with delight, for the favor of thy Lord is very
great!

I beg of God to pour on thee becoming patience,
so that thy heart may be consoled with the fragrance
of His mercy and that thy breast may be dilated with
His favors, that thou mayest attain to the spiritual
states which are lasting forever and ever.

4 |
Thou oughtest to bear it with becoming patience.
Again, thou oughtest to patiently bear this calamity
which hath flowed thine eyes with tears and hath
greatly afflicted thee.
