"O thou attracted maid-servant of God!..."

O thou attracted maid-servant of God!
| |
2 |
A few days ago the photograph of thyself and sister
was received and a tablet was revealed and forwarded.
Now, also, through pure mercy, the answer of thy letter
is transmitted.
| |
3 |
Praise be to God! that the heavenly blessings are being
poured upon thee and thou art being led by the
light of guidance.
| |
4 |
Supplication to God that the seed of knowledge in the
soil of thy heart may soon develop and grow into hyacinths
and roses
[1]
and that the flower-garden of the love
of God may be thereby perfumed.
| |
5 |
Therefore, I beseech God that He may bestow upon
thee a meek and submissive heart and that He may
confirm thee in the service of the divine garden and
assist thee to emulate the actions and deeds of the godly
ones. Also, that He may guide, to the Kingdom of
God, your father, mother and friends, in order that by
these heavenly blessings they may become fruitful trees
and obtain a portion of the great and glorious gift.
