Dear Bahá'í Sister,
| |
2 |
The Guardian has just received your kind message of
the second of January last, and wishes me to thank you for it.

It comforted him greatly to learn that, despite the severe
loss which you have sustained through the passing away
of your mother, you are still engaged as actively as before in
the work which you have set your heart to accomplish for the
Cause in Auckland. The agonies of her earthly separation
from you, difficult though they may be to bear, will assuredly
be transmuted through the blessings of Bahá'u'lláh into a
peaceful and abiding joy. In serving a Cause for which your
mother sacrificed so much you will no doubt come to find the
very purpose of your life, and the true secret of happiness in
this, as well as in the next world.

The Guardian is fervently praying for you and for your
brother, that you both may be strengthened and guided in
your services to the Cause, and in this way continue and
enrich still further the noble heritage which your mother has
left for the Faith in New-Zealand.

With loving Bahá'í greetings to you and to all the
friends in Auckland.

Yours in His Service,

Dear co-worker:
| |
10 |
I wish to assure you in person of my heartfelt sympathy
in the loss you have sustained, and of my loving and ardent
prayers for the departed soul. The work with which her name
will for ever be associated will confer upon her imperishable
glory, and her example will serve to stimulate the rising generation
to follow in her footsteps, and carry on the work she
has so nobly initiated.

Your true brother,
Shoghi
