[0:15] Dear Friends, we have felt very strongly again how the great Sun has been with us through Bahá’u’lláh during these days. From Haifa, a great ray of sun has come to Padua and to burn and has infused our love and our faith. And many hearts have carried this Sunray across the Alps, across the stones and passes. And this we can regard is an example of having overcome the material difficulties. And this Ray has then found many hearts here who were ready to melt in one great fire. And this fire was giving light to the darkness of this world. And this fire will destroy a lot of things which are unnecessary and which just can go. And this fire may bring to a glow. This was its noble, just like the pure gold. And this fire will continue and continue to keep alive the fire of our service to God. And it will give us the force and the strength to carry his message abroad and everywhere during this wonderful nine year plan. It's a God-given plan. This we have to realize. It's a part of the plan of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá which has been laid down by the universal House of Justice in individual parts. It is the will of God and the more we become united with the will of God, we will develop our own facilities and capacities. And in the difficulties, we will develop our strength and we'll recognized that it has been blessed by God. And if you realize that the heart of Europe [is] still to fulfill a lot of goals and you then will come to their aid and assist them to achieve these goals. Then this deed will enter into the annals of history. It's a testimony to the unity of our faith, which doesn't know any limits on borders and national privileges.
[6:27] Dear friends, every time has its place in the history and this time will not come back. It is the time of early spring when it's still a very small plant which will become a big tree afterwards. Let's turn our gratefulness into deeds for all what we have experienced and what we will still be privileged to experience. So that after decades our children will still say our grandparent's have attended this great occasion. This time is a very special time and it won't come back. You go in style but the spirit and the love of Bahá’u’lláh will always be emanated to us.
