Beloved Father! The flow of history was sorrowful at times and happy at times.

Beloved Father! The flow of history was sorrowful at times and happy at times. Each time we think that heaven's sorrow is dwelling in the center of a mind that others don't know, we realize how continuously inadequate we have been as we relate to you.

Father! This relationship of your having met us has not been formed through our efforts; it is due to the merit of millions of generations of ancestors which laid a bridge and broadened and broadened its foundation.

Please allow us to be able to feel grateful for all the grace you have given to let us have a day when we could meet you like this today.

In a place where people gather together and part again, people are subjected to criticism, and we can see that divisions occur; but we must understand that in a place where people meet centered on heaven, only awe, gratitude and tears remain.

Please let your children who are gathered here clearly realize that it will not do unless they feel more compassion for God deep in the center of their minds, and they love God who is our Father. Please allow us to become sons and daughters who offer our minds and bodies to love you as though we were crazy and who can be grateful even if we sacrifice everything, and about whom you can feel joy when you look at us.

As you searched for him, how much did you long for that one and only son to whom you could give all your love and about whom you could be proud before all people?

Now our impatient selves are advancing step by step towards our internal character; therefore, it will not do unless we become those who are waiting for the time when you call us to hurry and come to you. Please absolutely don't let us ever become sons and daughters who avoid suffering and worry that suffering may come.

We know well that if there was a history of suffering, there was without fail a mistake among the the people there. Please allow us to realize clearly that when you were doing well behind the scenes but humankind made a mistake, heaven was sorrowful every time, and stood in a position where it could not help but be in anguish.

Humankind must never overturn the blessings of the whole which heaven seeks to give, due to making a mistake or having cooperated and determined together. Knowing this kind of truth, we earnestly hope that you will allow us to become sons and daughters who can determine ourselves.

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