He Who is your Lord, the All-Merciful, cherisheth in His heart the desire of beholding the entire human race as one soul and one body.

BAHÁ'U'LLÁH

Devotional meetings

Devotional meetings spring up naturally in a community where a conversation about the spiritual dimension of human existence is growing. In diverse settings, Bahá’ís and their friends and families unite with one another in prayer. There are no rituals; no one individual has any special role. Meetings consist largely of reading prayers and passages from the Bahá’í sacred texts in an informal yet respectful atmosphere. A spirit of communal worship is generated by these simple gatherings, and this spirit begins to permeate the community’s collective endeavours.

Devotional meetings

The following devotional programs have been compiled using compilations of Bahá’i Writings on specific deepening topics. In general, these devotional meetings 30-45 minutes long, depending on the spirit of the meeting and the number of prayers that are given in addition to the collection of writings provided.
