O Thou kind Lord!  These are Thy servants who                                 
have gathered in this meeting, have turned unto Thy                            
kingdom and are in need of Thy bestowal and                                    
blessing.  O Thou God!  Manifest and make evident                              
the signs of Thy oneness which have been deposited                             
in all the realities of life.  Reveal and unfold the                           
virtues which Thou hast made latent and concealed                              
in these human realities.                                                      
                                                                               
O God!  We are as plants, and Thy bounty is as                                
the rain; refresh and cause these plants to grow                               
through Thy bestowal.  We are Thy servants; free                               
us from the fetters of material existence.  We are                             
ignorant; make us wise.  We are dead; make us                                  
alive.  We are material; endow us with spirit.  We                             
are deprived; make us the intimates of Thy                                     
mysteries.  We are needy; enrich and bless us from                             
Thy boundless treasury.  O God!  Resuscitate us;                               
give us sight; give us hearing; familiarize us with                            
the  mysteries  of  life,  so  that the secrets of Thy

kingdom may become revealed to us in this world                               
of existence and we may confess Thy oneness.                                   
Every bestowal emanates from Thee; every
