Release of a Compilation of Prayers and Tablets

for Children and Youth

25 September 1975

To all National Spiritual Assemblies

Dear Bahá’í Friends,

167.1 We are very happy to send you the enclosed selection of prayers revealed by Bahá’u’lláh and 'Abdu’l- Bahá for children, together with some Tablets of the Master intended for children and youth, translated into English.

167.2 You may use this translation as you wish, adding from it to the prayer books you have already published, using it as a basis of prayer books or other literature published specially for children, or sharing these precious words with the friends in any other manner you deem wise and useful. You are, of course, at liberty to translate these prayers and Tablets into other languages, and we hope that this will be done.

167.3 The raising of children in the Faith of God and the spiritualization of their lives from their earliest years is of prime importance in the life of the Bahá’í community, and the firm establishment of activities to promote these aims is one of the vital goals of the Five Year Plan.

With loving Bahá’í greetings,

The Universal House of Justice
