So today was a beautiful day at Bosch Bahai School. After a hearty breakfast and a morning walk I began tutoring book 5 to two young Bahais, ages 13 and 15. We are studying quotations about the high station of youth and the requirements and responsiblities that are placed upon them to serve humanity today. We are having some amazing conversations! These kids are really advanced and are well aware of what it means to live a life according to the ordinances of God! I wish I knew what they know at 15!
We all decided to memorize a prayer together. I had heard the prayer a lot before because a group called the Dawnbreaker Collective put it to music. It is really a beautiful prayer. It goes like this:
O Lord! Make this youth radiant, and confer thy bounty upon this poor creature. Bestow upon him knowledge, grant him added strength at the break of every morn and guard him within the shelter of Thy protectin so that he may be freed from error, may devote himself to the service of Thy cause, may guide the wayward, lead the hapless, free the captives and awaken the heeldess, that all may be blessed with Thy remembrance and praise. Thou art the Mighty and the Powerful.
-'Abdu'l-Baha'
