Provisional translation

You are all welcome. How are you? It was my intense desire to come up today and see you... Tonight, I desire to speak to you on a most important subject, which you must engrave on the tablets of your hearts... The Holy, Divine Manifestations are unique and peerless. They are the archetypes of celestial and spiritual virtues in their own age and cycle.
