Undoubtedly, the people of Bahá strongly believe in the
eventual fulfilment of the aim of the Faith to ensure both the material and the
spiritual prosperity of humanity. They are, however, also aware from their
knowledge of divine exhortations that this is not an easy task and that the
journey towards the attainment of this goal is a difficult one requiring years,
nay centuries, of patience, constructive resilience, and a level of sacrifice
that only the power of faith in the creative Word of God can instil in the
human soul. The lovers of Bahá’u’lláh throughout the world are working
sacrificially, each facing the specific challenges in his or her particular
country in fulfilling the objectives of the new Five Year Plan.
