"O thou who art attracted to the Holy Spirit!..."

O thou who art attracted to the Holy Spirit!

It is some time since news hath come from thee,
though I have the utmost kindness toward that favored
maid-servant of the Threshold of the Almighty. I beg
of God that the power of the Spirit will cause in thee
such an ecstasy and attraction that thou mayest be the
cause of everlasting life to the seekers; mayest hold a
cup of the knowledge of God in thy hand and give people
to drink the wine of the love of God; that thou
mayest exhilarate the souls, awaken the heedless, bring
the ignorant to consciousness, make the blind seeing,
quicken the dead, enkindle the faded souls and refresh
the withered ones.

Convey greeting and praise to the favored maid-servant
of God, thy revered daughter. Also, announce
thou on my behalf the confirmations of the Holy Spirit
unto the other maid-servants of the Merciful One.

O thou divinely attracted one! If thou wishest for
the illumination of the Kingdom, exert thyself in steadfastness
as much as thou canst and resist thou the tests,
so that thou mayest, like unto a lamp, illumine the
world and bestow everlasting life, like unto the Spirit.
