Furthermore, we have realized that your situation is difficult and miserable, and we have realized that today your hope is remaining in front of the earth, humankind and heaven.

1

When deep in our hearts we try to reflect once again on this thing called the will of the providence which we did not know, we realize only too well the fact that humankind has not been able to communicate with your innermost thoughts even though a long history of six thousand years has passed since our ancestors fell.

Furthermore, we have realized that your situation is difficult and miserable, and we have realized that today your hope is remaining in front of the earth, humankind, and heaven.

Today as we consider whether we possess the fidelity of sons and daughters who can receive praise in front of our sacred Father, and while standing in the garden of your heart, and standing in your realm of hope can say, "Father! Please be comforted for I am here." We cannot help but admit that we are far distant from that standard.

When Jesus Christ, who came as the incarnation of your hope and who could represent your heart, appears on the earth again, a person who is groping for and searching for the heart of heavenly morality will have to communicate with that heart of Jesus. Ass for the chosen nation of Israel, which wandered to communicate with the heart of heavenly morality, we know that their situation and Jesus' situation should have become one.

The people of Israel should have known that the hope of our Father who sent Jesus was a hope for all people. But due to not recognizing Jesus who was the incarnation of hope, this anguish has continued down until us today, and we furthermore feel the historical sorrow of its having been passed down.

Where has the Jewish religion that you sought and established over a four thousand-year period, and where have the people of Israel gone? The temple you raised in Jerusalem was prepared for the sake of Jesus, but it was not able to form a relationship with Jesus, and the Jewish religion was not able to form a relationship with Jesus either.

Even the prepared people, from their position of not forming any relation whatsoever with Jesus, stood in a position of driving him out. But we earnestly hope and desire, Father, that you will let us become people who know the situation of Jesus, who had no choice but to stand alone in a solitary position like that and pray for the sake of the people who cast him out.

Now facing you, Father, what do we want to shout out? And what do we want to find out about you, and what do we want to ask for? Please let us have hearts that represent your heart just as Jesus did, and which our ancestors were not able to do.

We know that it will not do unless we become beings who, with Jesus' situation and hope, have hearts that are the same as yours in the last days and who have the responsibility to indemnify all the historical debts in relation to you up until now.

Now we know that the path of the cross remains ahead of our footsteps. The time has come when we cannot help but fight with the evil world with eyes brimming with tears, and we know that you have called us because the time has come for us to communicate with your heart, to do that, please allow us to become sons and daughters who can offer ourselves as sacrifices of victory, who can realize your hope for you, by making your heart and mind our heart and mind, your situation our situation, your hope our hope, your enemy our enemy and your battle our battle.

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