On the need to read[edit]

“He is indeed pleased to know that the book of “Prayers and Meditations” by Bahá’u’lláh has been out in time to enable the friends to read it during the Fast, and he has every hope that the perusal of such a precious volume will help to deepen, more than any other publication, the spirit of devotion and faith in the friends, and thus charge them with all the spiritual power they require for the accomplishment of their tremendous duties towards the Cause.”

(On behalf of Shoghi Effendi, Directives from the Guardian, p. 59)
