At some point in our lives, we all suffer from illnesses of the body or the mind and we face tests and difficulties. This collection highlights resources dedicated to physical and spiritual health and well-being, healing, resilience and overcoming challenges.
Throughout history, God has sent us a series of divine Educators. They include (among others) Krishna, Moses, Zoroaster, Buddha, Jesus Christ, Muhammad, the Bab, and Baha’u’llah. Baha’u’llah explained that the religions of the world come from the same Source and are in essence successive chapters of one religion.
Blessed is the Spot – The Church of St John the Evangelist Choir
St John’s choir sings the Baha’i Prayer ‘Blessed is the Spot’ by Baha’u’llah.
This is an Anglican Church found in Ottawa, Canada, and the video was uploaded to Youtube by Caitlin Beck, who brought the prayer to the music director because she had learned the prayer as a child growing up in the Baha’i community. She also grew up in this Church singing in the choir and later worked there. The choir now sings it often.
Naysan is passionate about using the arts and media to explore the teachings of the Baha’i Faith. Back in 2011, Naysan started up the Baha’i Blog project, channeling his experiences in both media and technology companies to help create a hub for Baha’i-inspired content online.
I think it’s a wonderful thing to hear. The world will use every word revealed by the Blessed Beauty. All we need to do is just make it available to them in a guided form before it misused and misunderstandood..
The prayer is so appropriate while administering the Eucharist. I don’t remember what we sang 40 years ago, when I was an Episcopalian. I remember wearing the robes too.

My sister who taught in a convent taught this prayer to the children during their morning devotions. She wrote her own music and it was well received

Anglican Christians do seem to love ‘Blessed is the Spot…”. I’ve known it before too. Maybe we need to introduce it more?
