We have come to know that the way we are going, called by you, is not a smooth way.

We have come to know that the way we are going, called by you, is not a smooth way. Please let us realize the fact that before our eyes today, the world of life and the world of death are reaching a crossing point.

We know that at this point when the historical crossover is confusing the direction we should go, at this point when the religious people throughout the world are being broken, we know that when heaven breaks them, it is striking after having established a standard of goodness, and we know what kind of standard the time of heaven has reached.

Now we will call out to you under the bright, blue sky, having straightened up our expressions and attitudes. We think the heaven and earth of freedom are approaching when we will be able to run to you swinging our arms and dancing while saying that our time has come.

When we have thought about the fact that the sorrowful past can turn into joy, and regrettable, grievous facts are being changed into a time that is approaching which can boast about the brilliant power of heaven, we have realized that all those things that drove us into this kind of position, all those things were your love which wanted to bequeath your heart to us.

In this moment when life and death are crossing over each other, please let us become your sons and daughters who can subjugate the dominion of death with the authority of life.

We are trying to break through to that position in order to harvest, in order to gather in the fruits of goodness which you have sown. We know that we are doing that in Korea, we are doing that in Japan, and we are doing that in many nations of the world.

Sweat will have to flow from the foreheads of such unification workers, and tears will have to flow from their eyes, and we know that the mission remains that they will have to fulfill for you through their hands and bodies shedding blood.

Therefore, please let us become sons and daughters who anticipate dying over and over again until the day comes when you can rest after we have gone this way to the end. Please let us become your sons and daughters who are determined to fight again and again and who are determined not to become people who become exhausted during the battle. Father, we earnestly hope for and desire this.

Please let us become your sons and daughters who can forget the anguish of the grief-filled history; who can embrace the deep heart of life; who can boast before all the people of the world by having the day of joy come on earth when we can call you "Father!" until our throats burst in the heaven and earth of freedom; and please let us be able to raise you and to sing the song of victory.

We have humbly prayed all these things in the holy name of the True Parents.

Amen.
