"O thou servant of God!..."
| |
1 |
O thou servant of God!
| |
2 |
What thou hast written was perused. Be thou rejoiced
on account of hearing the glad-tidings of the
Kingdom. To render thanks for such a bounty is to
show forth praiseworthy deeds.
| |
3 |
Sacrifice thyself for the well-being of the people and
be thou a kind comforter to all the inhabitants of the
world. Ask and pray to God that thou mayest become
an enkindled lamp, to shed light upon the assembly,
to become a lover of men and a well-wisher of human
kind; nay, rather, thou mayest become the manifestation
of the divine providence, finding out the heavenly
gifts, enlisting thyself among the soldiers of the kingdom
of peace and reconciliation, delivering the people
as far as possible from war and carnage, spreading
righteousness and friendship and becoming the cause of
tranquility and composure to the world of humanity.
