The quality of compassion was brought alive in song and art by youngsters at yesterday’s (Sunday 6 November) children’s class run by West Berkshire Bahá’í Community.

The children, aged 8 to 11, tapped into their creative side to put their thoughts about compassion to music and drawings.

Myra Erbenova, who leads the classes, said: “Bahá’u’lláh  showed forth compassion at all times, to all people, though His life was filled with suffering.”

The children memorised Bahá’u’lláh’s words: “The Kingdom of God is founded upon equity and justice, and also upon mercy, compassion and kindness to every living soul.”

Free and strong as a bird . . .

Youngsters in the eight to 11 age group will be learning about detachment in the children’s class of Sunday 20 November.

They will study and memorise the quotation from Bahá’u’lláh: “Know that they true adornment consisteth in the love of God and in thy detachment from all save Him…” The Summons of the Lord of Hosts, pages 96-138: gr256.

Myra Erbenova, who leads the classes, said: “Our souls must be free at all times: like free and strong birds, they should soar in the heaven of holiness. How sad if a bird remains on the ground, unable to take flight because it is attached to the things around it.”
