91: O THOU WHO HAST BOWED THYSELF DOWN IN PRAYER ...

O thou who hast bowed thyself down in prayer before the Kingdom of God!

Blessed art thou, for the beauty of the divine Countenance hath enraptured

thy heart, and the light of inner wisdom hath filled it full, and within

it shineth the brightness of the Kingdom. Know thou that God is with thee

under all conditions, and that He guardeth thee from the changes and

chances of this world and hath made thee a handmaid in His mighty

vineyard....

As to thy respected husband: it is incumbent upon thee to treat him with

great kindness, to consider his wishes and be conciliatory with him at all

times, till he seeth that because thou hast directed thyself toward the

Kingdom of God, thy tenderness for him and thy love for God have but

increased, as well as thy concern for his wishes under all conditions.

I beg of the Almighty to keep thee firmly established in His love, and

ever shedding abroad the sweet breaths of holiness in all those regions.
