The Lord's Supper: The Nineteen-Day Feast "Make ye an effort in every meeting that the Lord's Supper may become realized and the heavenly food descend. This heavenly food is knowledge, understanding, faith, assurance, love, affinity, kindness, purity of purpose, attraction of hearts and the union of souls. It was this manner of the Lord's Supper which descended from the heavenly kingdom in the day of Christ. When the meeting is conducted after this manner, then 'Abdu'l-Baha also is present in heart and soul, though His body may not be with you." 'Abdu'l-Baha1 Atoms of air resonate With the Nightingale 's Speech Intoning Words of revelation Chanting the Names of God The Beloved of all worlds Ascends over Splendor's horizon The Glory of God Rises above the Mountains of Might Dispelling the illusions of night Reflected from Perfection's Mirror The Light of Divine Unity Generates a new creation Resurrected from the tomb of self Soul soars on the Wings of Knowledge Into the Heaven of God's Will In the Loftiness of paradise At the Table of God's Beauty Spirit consumes the Bread of Life In the Garden of Grandeur From the Chalice of Mercy Essence quaffs immortality's wine Set ablaze by the Power of God The Seeker's Questions Are destroyed in the fire of faith He knows that humanity's Honor Is neither in physical Sovereignty Nor material Dominion Poet's Note: ▼ Footnotes |
