At 1:00 a.m. tomorrow, Bahá’ís will commemorate the Ascension of ‘Abdu'l-Bahá, Bahá'u'lláh's eldest son, who led the Faith from 1892-1921. His life gives us a shining example of kindness and service.
The body of the human world is sick. Its remedy and healing will be the oneness of the kingdom of humanity. Its life is the Most Great Peace. Its illumination and quickening is love. .,.
‘Abdu’l-Bahá
