Feast of Rahmat
June 24th, 2009
The sinner should, between himself and God, implore mercy from the Ocean of mercy, beg forgiveness from the Heaven of generosity
~ Baha’u'llah, Tablets of Baha’u'llah, Tablet of Bisharat (Glad-Tidings), p. 24
Today is the Feast of Rahmat, which mean mercy. Having mercy conjures many different images, but one very clear one is that of forgiveness of our sins when we have done something wrong. God has provide with a list of rules and guiding principles. They should not be that hard to follow, but yet they are, and we give in to our temptations. It is only through his mercy that we are able to go on.
