September 19

The hearts of all the friends rejoiced, and in particular, the heart of ‘Abdu'l-Bahá, when we heard of thy rising up to serve the Cause of God, and that thou hast set apart one of the rooms in thy home for meetings of the lovers of God, so that from it may ascend to the Lord of Revelation the clamour of chanted prayers.

By the life of God! The queens of the world, with all their castles, cannot boast of such a room, since from it shineth forth the light of lights. (‘Abdu'l-Bahá, from unpublished Tablet; compilation ‘Baha’i Meetings’, prepared by the Research Department of the Universal House of Justice)
