"The gift of God to this enlightened age is the knowledge of the oneness of mankind and of the fundamental oneness of religion. War shall cease between nations, and by the will of God the Most Great Peace shall come; the world will be seen as a new world, and all men will live as brothers."
Abdu'l-Baha1

"O my God! O my God! Unite the hearts of Thy servants, and reveal to them Thy great purpose. May they follow Thy commandments and abide in Thy law. Help them, O God, in their endeavor, and grant them strength to serve Thee. O God! Leave them not to themselves, but guide their steps by the light of Thy knowledge, and cheer their hearts by Thy love. Verily, Thou art their Helper and their Lord."
Bahá’u’lláh2

Kamal (Perfection), 1 Sharaf (Honor) 175 B.E. - Monday, December 31, 2018
Feast of Sharaf

"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-Baha3

Write about endings and/or beginnings.

Endings and Beginnings

Endings and beginnings pass through the same door. One exits while the other enters. In the journey of life, when one phase of life or road ends than another begins. Sometimes it is difficult for an individual to discern the difference between an end and a beginning, because of the hustle and bustle going on around the event that either ends or begins a new phase of existence. At other times the demarcation line is so obvious that the individual feels as if they are falling into an abyss.


Today, December 31, is both an ending and a beginning. It is the last day of 2018, but it is the first day of the month of Sharaf. Today is the Feast Day of Sharaf 175 B.E. The English translation for Sharaf is Honor, which is one of the attributes of God. The Baha'i day is a solar day, which is a twenty-four hour period between sunset of one day and sunset of the next. The first day of Sharaf begin at sunset on December 30, and will end at sunset today, December 31. All across the planet, at sometime during this twenty-four hour period Baha'i communities will celebrate the Feast of Honor (Sharaf), which is one of the nineteen-day Feasts or the Lord's Suppers.
