To all National Spiritual Assemblies

Dear Bahá’í Friends,

352.1 We have been directed by the Universal House of Justice to send you the enclosed copy of a prayer revealed by ‘Abdu’l-Bahá in which mention is made of persecutions, the martyred friends and their relatives.[1] This is for general use, and it is felt that it would be specially suitable for inclusion in the program of prayers being arranged by National Spiritual Assemblies all over the world for the Feast of Jamál (Beauty) on Thursday, 28 April 1983, as was requested in our letter of 29 December 1982.[2]

352.2 A copy of the text in the original Arabic is also enclosed so that it may be shared with those friends who may be able to use it.

With loving Bahá’í greetings,
DEPARTMENT OF THE SECRETARIAT
