Father! We thank you for having raised up our unworthy selves in front of your holy Will.

Father! We thank you for having raised our unworthy selves in front of your holy Will. Please allow me, this being standing before your Will, to fulfill my responsibility at this historical point in time and to be a person who can remain to the end.

We must not be people who come and go once and just flow past. Rather, by presenting content that can influence this present historical age, we must fulfill our mission, which is in the subject position and which can call in and establish a new age.

You called us and raised us, but as we are not able to feel the matters of your earnest heart that you want to give us responsibility for, please urge us on. Please allow us, your beloved children, to feel deep in our hearts the situation you have been in until now.

Father! Isn't this a people to be pitied? If from now on there is only one way for these people to go, and they do not know that way, then this is truly a people to be pitied, and theses people's future will be dark. When we closely analyze the present reality and look at the future situation for Asia and the world, we cannot help but worry about the way that these people and Korea are going.

Father! If up until now history has traced your footsteps which have been seeking to end the course of indemnity that you are manifesting to Asia and the world through these people, then please live in the minds of these people.

Also, we earnestly hope and desire that you will make these people one with your Will by resurrecting your hope in their minds. Father! Please let these people have hearts that cannot help loving their nation even if they don't want to; please let their minds rise until they cannot help loving North Korea even if they don't want to.

We have come to know the fact that the person who lives for himself just fades away in history, but the person who tries to live for his descendants, for the future generationsthese of his people, and for the world appears as a victorious individual and remains as a central figure controlling that history.

Therefore, we must not become a group that seeks to avoid this course of tears, this course of bloodcurdling struggles in this historical age.

Even amid any kind of difficulties, let us take subjective responsibility and think, "I'm the only one who can do it." We know that our Unification Movement must become a new group that can take hold of these people and this nation and influence Asia. You have called us and raised us as individuals who can do that, Father.

We, individuals who have come here ought to be those who have awakened to the fact that we are the ones who can do that. Please let us realize that we are too inadequate. In the past, these pitiful people shed much blood.

We know that these people have gone down a path of sacrifice, which no one wanted because it was your will to bequeath these people to Asia. Please let our hope become one with that kind of hope of yours, Father, and let us unite. Then please find in our Unification Movement those who can give their loyalty to the Will that you have been desiring as you dealt with these people.

Father, we earnestly hope and desire that you will allow us to become your sons and daughters who can feel anew that this must become a place where you can feel it is rewarding to come and look around personally, and where you can rest.

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