Until now, we thought that you were a being of joy surrounded by glory. We thought that you were someone who would accomplish the goal and joy of liberation for us and that you would give us blessings and wealth and prosperity in free supply.

But now that we see behind the situation of heaven, we have realized that there are internal complications, so that even if you want to give blessings, you cannot, and we know the solemn truth that the grief-filled history of sorrow of 6,000 years must be restored through indemnity. Now that we have understood that kind of situation, please allow us to become people who lament the foolishness of humankind and who have not been able to do that.

Please let us know that you are a father who is coming to these people; that you are a father who is coming to the people of the world. We have understood that those footsteps are still soaked with tears of sorrow and there remain walls of suffering for them. Today, we will become the ramparts of our father's suffering, and become fortresses of his sorrow.

We will embrace our father's unjust suffering and grief. We must become those who know how to fight, shedding blood and tears along the road of the decisive battle with the enemy to fulfill that responsibility and that mission.

Father! Please let us be moved by the heart of heaven, and please let us become people who know how to struggle and hold on to hearts of love for humankind. We must become people who can embrace our hearts, and look at things with tears, even when we look and mountains and streams or when looking at the people of the world.

We must become the individuals that we want, and establish the families that we want, and centered on those families, we will have to build the world of the idea that we want. We have understood that the larger the scope of the building is, the more tears and blood will have to be shed.

We have understood that tears have to be shed on individuals, to find families, and to find people. When we look at this path from a human perspective, it is a depressing path, it is a path of anger, and it is a path of suffering. But because it is a path you have walked, we know that it is a complicated course that we must go and change to a path of joy, a path of gratitude, and a path of glory.

Please let us consider it our pride to exhaust everything we have while attending to you until the last day of our lives. We earnestly hope and desire that we will become those who can run this path to the end together with you. We earnestly hope that you will let us determine once again to become those who know how to sing your praises with tears in that kind of place.

We have humbly prayed in the name of the Lord. Amen.
