"Ye are the fruits of one tree

and the leaves of one branch…

So powerful is the light of unity

that it can illuminate the whole earth."

~ Bahá’u’lláh

which like unto a glass

may be illumined

by the light of Thy love…

and confer upon me thoughts

which may change this world into a rose garden

through the outpourings of heavenly grace."

~’Abdu’l-Bahá
