We should come together and read the verses of God

The friends of God, one and all, are remembered by the Supreme Pen: The bounties of the Source of Bounty are at every moment visibly descending. It behooveth the friends in whatever land they be, to gather together in meetings, and therein to speak wisely and with eloquence, and to read the verses of God, for it is God's Words that kindle love's fire and set it ablaze." (Baha’u’llah, Tablet to an individual believer; ‘Baha’i Meetings, The Nineteen Day Feast’ compilation prepared by the UHJ, p. 3)

By My life and My Cause! Round about whatever dwelling the friends of God may enter, and from which their cry shall rise as they praise and glorify the Lord, shall circle the souls of true believers and all the favored angels. And should the door of the true eye be opened unto some, they shall witness the Supreme Concourse as it circleth and crieth: 'Blessed art thou, O house, for God hath made thee a resting-place for those He favoreth, and a lodging for those He holdeth dear, and a home for those in whom He hath placed His trust. Unto thee be His praise and His glory and His endless grace.' (Baha’u’llah, Tablet to an individual believer; ‘Baha’i Meetings, The Nineteen Day Feast’ compilation prepared by the UHJ, p. 3)
