O ye spiritual assembly!
[1]

As ye were gathered in the meeting of hospitality
with the utmost longing for the knowledge of God, that
meeting was mentioned in the divine Kingdom and
you became favored with special bounty. Such gatherings
are very praiseworthy and acceptable, for all beget
joy and fragrance, the hearts become illumined and the
despondent souls become heavenly.

Likewise, thou I was remote in so far as the body
is concerned, I was near to the friends in heart and
spirit and close to the believers in that assembly.

I entreat God that your assembly wax greater day
by day and the meeting of the love of God become
adorned with celestial attributes, so that the confirmation
of the Kingdom of God descend continually.
