Thankful Thursday the Fourthteenth Day of Fast
Istijlál (Majesty), 14 ‘Alá’ (Loftiness) - Thursday, March 15, 2018
The Fourteenth Day of Fast

"Beware lest ye harm any soul or make any heart to sorrow; lest ye wound any man with your words, be he known to you or a stranger, be he friend or foe. Pray ye for all; ask ye that all be blessed, all be forgiven.”
Bahá’í Writings1

Poem for the Fourteenth Day of Fast

Supplicate the Almighty,
ask absolution
for both friend and foe,
for acquaintance,
for stranger,
for friend,
for family,
and for yourself.

Supplicate the Almighty,
ask forgiveness
morning and evening,
noon and midnight,
every hour of the day,
every hour of the night.
