The powers released by Baha'u'llah match the needs of the
times. We may therefore be utterly
confident that the new throb of energy now vibrating throughout the Cause will
empower it to meet the oncoming challenges of assisting, as maturity and
resources allow, the development of the social and economic life of peoples, of
collaborating with the forces leading towards the establishment of order in the
world, of influencing the exploitation and constructive uses of modern
technology, and in all these ways enhancing the prestige and progress of the
Faith and uplifting the conditions of the generality of mankind.
- The Universal
House of Justice (Ridvan message, 1983)
