The Mother Temple of South America

 



The House of Worship in Santiago, Chile, was the final Continental Baha'i House of Worship to be constructed. It was dedicated in 2016 and is a place where everyone may worship God.


























"O people of the world! Build ye houses of worship throughout the lands in the name of Him Who is the Lord of all religions. Make them as perfect as is possible in the world of being, and adorn them with that which befitteth them, not with images and effigies. Then, with radiance and joy, celebrate therein the praise of your Lord, the Most Compassionate. Verily, by His remembrance the eye is cheered and the heart is filled with light."

--Bahá’u’lláh, The Kitab-i-Aqdas

The Most Pleasing Thing in the Sight of God

 




"The most pleasing thing in the sight of God is service.  As the opposite poles of the magnet are attracted to each other, humility and servitude are the only attributes Man can achieve which are the opposite of the attributes of Majesty and Sovereignty of God. All the other attributes which Man can strive for are possessed by God in absolute perfection. "
