Happy are you, chosen ones of God, for you are illumined by
the light of faith, are adorned with heavenly characters, are striving to
contribute to this transformation in the world of humanity, and are willing to
make every sacrifice to aid in the establishment of a civilization that is
neither of the East nor of the West. You are among the hosts of the Kingdom of
God; you are the servants of the world of humanity who have shone forth like
burnished gold in the fire of ordeals and have not been silenced in times of
tests.
- The Universal House of Justice (From a message dated Naw-Ruz 2013
addressed to the Baha’i in Iran, translated from Persian)
