“If thou, like Christ, be pure and single–hearted,
Who once ascended far beyond the sky,
Thy life will shine with beams of light, whereby
The Sun will brighten by thy light imparted.
(Translation: Smith)
These verses of universal beauty and meaning were written by the poet Hafez (d. c. 1389 CE) and are engraved on the interior eastern wall of his mausoleum in Shiraz.
We send greetings, best wishes and peace to all Christian women, mothers and their families throughout the world.
May the celebration of the coming to earth of the great soul of the Prophet Jesus be accompanied by the spirit of love and compassion for the whole of mankind.
May the true spirit and meaning of his teachings be embodied by disciples of light who have the wisdom and knowledge to attract positive forces from the universe towards this strife-ridden planet.
