It is always so tragic when innocent souls are involved into the wrongdoings of the mankind.
I won’t go on repeating the details of the tragedy in Connecticut or the one in China – it breaks my heart just thinking of all those families. I truly hope we learn from this horrendous experience and start now by creating a better world for our children.
My prayers and positive thoughts are sent to those families that lots their children. God bless their souls and may they progress happily in the worlds of God!
Whenever a child passes a way my only consolation is that he or she is in a better and happier place with no prejudice, fights or wars.
Here’s a prayer for the departed that I would like to share with you to commemorate all the souls that ascended into the realms of God too soon.
“O my God! O Thou forgiver of sins, bestower of gifts, dispeller of afflictions!
Verily, I beseech thee to forgive the sins of such as have abandoned the physical garment and have ascended to the spiritual world.
O my Lord! Purify them from trespasses, dispel their sorrows, and change their darkness into light. Cause them to enter the garden of happiness, cleanse them with the most pure water, and grant them to behold Thy splendors on the loftiest mount.”
‘Abdu’l-Bahá
