The December 12th Message

Jon Rezin — Sat, 21 Jun 2014 00:12:12 +0000

Propelled by forces generated both within and outside the Bahá’í community, the peoples of the earth can be seen to be moving from divergent directions, closer and closer to one another, towards what will be a world civilization so stupendous in character that it would be futile for us to attempt to imagine it today. As this centripetal movement of populations accelerates across the globe, some elements in every culture, not in accord with the teachings of the Faith, will gradually fall away, while others will be reinforced.
~The Universal House of Justice

In this message dated December 12th 2011, The Universal House of Justice shares with “all National Spiritual Assemblies and their training institutes further guidance on the implementation of the main sequence of courses and those that branch off from it.”

This is an indespensible message for all believers wishing to gain greater insight into the institute process. The House of Justice addresses the concepts of “The Path of Service”, “Coordination”, “Classes for Children”, and “Educational Materials”.

The December 28th 2010 Message

Jon Rezin — Sat, 21 Jun 2014 00:11:26 +0000

In this powerful address to the Conference of the Continental Boards of Counsellors, The Universal House of Justice opens up a vista to the Bahá’í community outlining some of the central themes and goals of the upcoming five year plan and proceeds to focus our attention from the building processes that are taking place to those that have yet to occur. In clear unequivocal terms they address the institutions, those serving on administrative bodies, as well as individuals and give explicit guidance as to necessary transformation that must occur to meet the goals of the upcoming five year plan.

Addressing the Bahá’í community members directly, the House of Justice appeals them to uphold a higher standard, some of which the Guardian described as the “spiritual prerequisites for the success of all Bahá’í undertakings.” They take great care to elaborate on those which, the Guardian indicated, “stand out as preeminent and vital”. Further, The Universal House of Justice exhorts the community to exemplify a “rectitude of conduct in every aspect of their lives–in their business dealings, in their domestic lives, in all manner of employment, in every service they render to the Cause and to their people”.

Bahá’u’lláh expounds that “the present-day order” must “be rolled up, and a new one spread out in its stead.” The Guardian gives us assurance that “It is this building process… that constitutes the one hope of a stricken society.”

The 2012 Ridvan Message

Jon Rezin — Sat, 21 Jun 2014 00:10:32 +0000

“Now is not the time to hold back; too many remain unaware of the new dawn. Who but you can convey the divine message? ”By God,” Bahá’u’lláh, referring to the Cause, affirms, “this is the arena of insight and detachment, of vision and upliftment, where none may spur on their chargers save the valiant horsemen of the Merciful, who have severed all attachment to the world of being.” ~ The Universal House of Justice

This most joyous Ridván season, The Universal House of Justice, greeted the worldwide Bahá’í community with an expression of praise and encouragement. The Supreme Body shared news of the continued advancement of the Cause through the efforts of eager souls “engaged in the work of constructing a new world through the systematic implementation of the Five Year Plan.”

In addition, The House of Justice also shared an historic and moving development in this, the Fifth Epoch of the Formative Age of the Faith, in that of the emergence of a series of plans to construct seven new Houses of Worship in nations and clusters who’s “process of entry by troops was sufficiently well advanced.”

The 2010 Ridvan Message

Jon Rezin — Sat, 21 Jun 2014 00:09:33 +0000

In this weighty message, The Universal House of Justice condenses the last four years of progress in the Bahá’i community and recounts the marvelous victories that have been won as well as focusing the community’s attention on those goals that have yet to be achieved.

Special care is taken to outline the power present in the believers moving away from a formulaic understanding of the guidance explored in the Ruhi institute to a more holistic integration of that material into their everyday lives. Those laboring on the front lines will find themselves better equipped to build genuine and lasting relationships and to confidently and effectively share the healing message of Bahá’u’lláh in a language addressed to the heart.

The Supreme Body builds upon the successes of the four core activities by focusing our attention on the concept of relationship building and the necessity of integrating the greater community in the transformative work of the Faith through programs of social action.

An exceptionally powerful message at once weighty and inspiring is a must read for all believers wishing to “take a decisive part in building the Kingdom of God on earth”.
