O Thou peerless Lord! Let this suckling babe be nursed from the breast of Thy loving- kindness, guard it within the cradle of Thy safety and protection and grant that it be reared in the arms of Thy tender affection. - 'Abdu'l-Baha (35:1) O God! Rear this little babe in the bosom of Thy love, and give it milk from the breast of Thy Providence. Cultivate this fresh plant in the rose garden of Thy love and aid it to grow through the showers of Thy bounty. Make it a child of the kingdom, and lead it to Thy heavenly realm. Thou art powerful and kind, and Thou art the Bestower, the Generous, the Lord of surpassing bounty. - 'Abdu'l-Baha (35:2) O God! Educate these children. These children are the plants of Thine orchard, the flowers of Thy meadow, the roses of Thy garden. Let Thy rain fall upon them; let the Sun of Reality shine upon them with Thy love. Let Thy breeze refresh them in order that they may be trained, grow and develop, and appear in the utmost beauty. Thou art the Giver. Thou art the Compassionate. - 'Abdu'l-Baha
(35:3)
