To all National Spiritual Assemblies

Dear Bahá’í Friends,

As the Bahá’ís worldwide now enter the month of the Fast, these days of “bounty and
tranquillity,” each hour of which is endowed with incalculable blessings, the Universal House of Justice has directed us to call upon you to invite the Bahá’ís throughout your nation to offer prayers during this month for the protection of their cherished brothers and sisters in the Cradle of the Faith and on behalf of all other citizens in that sacred land, beseeching Bahá’u’lláh for their well-being. In the midst of their dire tribulations, which have recently intensified, your solidarity in spirit will assuredly bring consolation to their hearts.

With loving Bahá’í greetings,

Department of the Secretariat
