ng from heaven; to make
those countries become verdant with the myrtles of truth and inner
significances and to plant therein blessed trees, with the hand of
Providence, which may bring forth pure and excellent fruits wherefrom the
fragrances of God may be diffused throughout all regions. These signs
shall surely appear and these lights shall shine forth.

O maid-servant of God, the Merciful! It is incumbent upon you to unveil
the covering and to witness the Beauty of the Almighty! Ye shall surely
see the lights rising in those parts, as ye have already seen them. Ye

the Pharisees interfere with thee, it is incumbent upon thee to implore
God to guide them to the road of salvation! And it is incumbent upon thee
to be affable to them under all circumstances, to be patient in
afflictions, to be courteous with the enemies and to pray for the hateful
