Father! Please take pity on and extend the benevolence of your mercy to this people.

Father! Please take pity on and extend the benevolence of your mercy to these people. But if through this group which is being driven out and pursued you have something you desire to realize, then please drive this person out and have them pursued even more.

We know that in the midst of this situation, you are hoping that a group of young people will appear who will have a sense of responsibility to take on the suffering of these people and to take on their difficulties in their stead.

Please allow us to know the loneliness of this people and this nation and your loneliness which moves you to tears as you see humankind struggling on the frontline of death. This loneliness has been pent up in my heart. Father, we earnestly hope and desire that you will please let us realize that a frightful time is coming to this people, a time of heaven's grief, together with sighs and weeping joined by blood.

We know that before this people should go through difficulties we should go through them first, and before humankind should go through difficulties, we should go the way of the cross first. In the midst of a chaotic environment, Jesus also walked the path toward the palaces of heaven, and he told us to take that path.

We know that this is the content of the Gospel that Jesus left us, and as we stand at the vanguard of the course of history, please let us become those who can take responsibility for everything. Don't let us be those who collapse or fall apart when we collide with something. Each time we collide with something please let us form a strong heartistic relationship with you, Father. We earnestly pray that you will help us become those who can appear before you.

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