Verily Thou art the Almighty, the Powerful, the Generous!
O thou who art kindled with the fire of the Love of God!
Verily I read thy words which showed thy yearning love in God, and chanted thy expressions written in His praise.
I beg of God to make thee a sign of guidance, a standard of righteousness and a lamp shining with the light of the knowledge of God.

We have already written a consoling letter1 to her, whereby her breast will be dilated and her soul will cheer.
