On Brokenhearted People: Let it be

Lisa's music recommendations. -gw
 
 
 
And when the brokenhearted people
Living in the world agree
There will be an answer, let it be
 
I've heard the song so many times that I don't even hear the words, but there they are. Baha'u'llah came for the brokenhearted people. -gw
 
Indeed, let it be this generation that inaugurates this glorious stage in the evolution of social life on the planet
 
 
Let it be seen that you are filled with universal love.
 
 
And let it be known once more that until woman and man recognize and realize equality, social and political progress here or anywhere will not be possible….
 
 
Let your hearts be filled with the great love of God, let it be felt by all; for every man is a servant of God, and all are entitled to a share of the Divine Bounty.
 
 
As to the position of Christianity, let it be stated without any hesitation or equivocation that its divine origin is unconditionally acknowledged, that the Sonship and Divinity of Jesus Christ are fearlessly asserted, that the divine inspiration of the Gospel is fully recognized, that the reality of the mystery of the Immaculacy of the Virgin Mary is confessed, and the primacy of Peter, the Prince of the Apostles, is upheld and defended. The Founder of the Christian Faith is designated by Bahá’u’lláh as the “Spirit of God,” is proclaimed as the One Who “appeared out of the breath of the Holy Ghost,” and is even extolled as the “Essence of the Spirit.”
 
 
Let it be known, however, that none of these doctors and divines to whom we have referred was invested with the rank and dignity of leadership. For well-known and influential leaders of religion, who occupy the seats of authority and exercise the functions of leadership, can in no wise bear allegiance to the Revealer of truth, except whomsoever thy Lord willeth.
