HIS WATCHFUL POWER AND UNFAILING GRACE
| |
1 |
May He, Who through the irresistible operation of the will of His
almighty Father, called this community into being, nursed it in its
infancy through the inestimable benefits conferred by a divinely
appointed Covenant, infused through His personal contact with its
members, and the proclamation of His Own Station, a new spirit into
their souls; conferred, subsequently, through the revelation of His
Tablets, the spiritual primacy designed to enable them to assume a
preponderating role in the propagation of His Father's Faith; graciously
aided them, following His ascension, to inaugurate their God-given
mission by fixing the pattern, creating the institutions, and vindicating
the purpose, of a divinely appointed Administrative Order and by
launching subsequently the preliminary undertakings in their homeland,
as well as in all the republics of Latin America, in anticipation of
the formal inauguration of a systematic World Crusade for the furtherance
of His Father's Cause; and more recently assisted them to embark,
in concert with their brethren in other continents of the globe, upon
the first stage of their world-encompassing mission, and to win a series
of victories unprecedented in the annals of the Faith in their
homeland--may He, through His watchful care and unfailing grace,
continue to sustain them, individually and collectively, in the course of
the remaining stages of the Plan, and enable them to bring to a
triumphant termination the initial epoch in the unfoldment of the
Divine Plan which He has primarily entrusted to them and on the
successful prosecution of which their entire spiritual destiny must
depend.
[September 21, 1957]
