Good morning Seyoum Negash. It is overwhelming to learn it has been 9 years ago you ascended to the Kingdom of God. You would have been 100 years (A Century) young were you alive this year!
Thank you for the many years of my childhood and growing up. Thank you for the best education you were able to provide me in high school which helped crafted my career. Next to God, you are the one I value for the many graces and blessings that came my way.
Thank you on this occasion when we celebrate your 91 years of earthly life with us. Let the grace and bounty of God engulf you.
Here is a Bahai prayer that beseeches God to pour His Bounty and Eternal Mercy.
O my God! O my God! Verily, Thy servant, humble before the majesty of Thy divine supremacy, lowly at the door of Thy oneness, hath believed in Thee and in Thy verses, hath testified to Thy word, hath been enkindled with the fire of Thy love, hath been immersed in the depths of the ocean of Thy knowledge, hath been attracted by Thy breezes, hath relied upon Thee, hath turned his face unto Thee, hath offered his supplications to Thee, and hath been assured of Thy pardon and forgiveness. He hath abandoned this mortal life and hath flown to the kingdom of immortality, yearning for the favor of meeting Thee.
O Lord, glorify his station, shelter him under the pavilion of Thy supreme mercy, cause him to enter Thy glorious paradise, and perpetuate his existence in Thine exalted rose garden, that he may plunge into the sea of light in the world of mysteries.
Verily, Thou art the Generous, the Powerful, the Forgiver and the Bestower.
‘Abdu’l-Bahá
