Gatherings dedicated to prayer throughout your blessed land, in every neighbourhood, town, village, and hamlet.. Plant, then, the seeds of future Mashriqu’l-Adhkárs for the benefit of all, and ignite countless beacons of light against the gloom of hatred and inequity..." – Universal House of Justice, from a letter dated 18 December 2014 to the Bahá’ís in Iran "... Local Spiritual Assemblies which, as they begin to function strongly, will unite the friends in firmly consolidated Bahá’í communities and become beacons of guidance and havens of refuge to mankind." – Universal House of Justice, Naw-Rúz message 1979 "...the light already blazes intensely in many a region. In some countries it shines in every cluster. In the land where that inextinguishable light was first ignited, it burns bright despite those who would snuff it out. In diverse nations it achieves a steady glow across whole neighbourhoods and villages, as candle after candle in heart after heart is lighted by the Hand of Providence; it illuminates thoughtful conversation at every level of human interaction; it casts its beams upon a myriad initiatives taken to promote the well-being of a people. And in every instance it radiates from a faithful believer, a vibrant community, a loving Spiritual Assembly—each a beacon of light against the gloom..." – Universal House of Justice, Ridván message 2011 "... fix one’s gaze upon the bright beacon that is the laws and principles of God..." – Universal House of Justice, letter dated 30 December 2021, to the Conference of the Continental Boards of Counsellors
