What did Bahá’u’lláh write to Pope Pius IX?

O Pope! Rend the veils asunder. He Who is the Lord ofLords is come overshadowed with clouds, and the decreehath been fulfilled by God, the Almighty, theUnrestrained…. He, verily, hath again come down fromHeaven even as He came down from it the first time. Bewarethat thou dispute not with Him even as the Phariseesdisputed with Him (Jesus) without a clear token or proof.On His right hand flow the living waters of grace, and onHis left the choice Wine of justice, whilst before Him marchthe angels of Paradise, bearing the banners of His signs.Beware lest any name debar thee from God, the Creator ofearth and heaven. Leave thou the world behind thee, andturn towards thy Lord, through Whom the whole earth hathbeen illumined…Arise in the name of thy Lord, the God ofMercy, amidst the peoples of the earth, and seize thou theCup of Life with the hands of confidence, and first drinkthou therefrom, and proffer it then to such as turn towards itamongst the peoples of all faiths….
