We know that it is the common course of humankind to come and go here and there on the earth while alive and then without fail to have to go. We earnestly hope and desire, Father, that you will not allow us to become pitiful people who are born as human beings, but when seeking God are not able to have a standard that we can follow on our own.

We know that to possess a treasure that others cannot have, we have to go through a course of trials that others do not go through. We have to recognize clearly through our relationships with the world of creation and our lives in society that it is a fact that one cannot raise one's standard without going through trials and tears.

Please allow us to attain the title of holy filial children who are famous in history for having fulfilled completely our duty of filial piety about you. Please let us hold the treasured position of being able to remain as representatives of heavenly value, representing the whole of history centered on your heart.

In the center of our breasts, there are no trees or grass. The center of our breasts is a hollow place among hollow places. It is an empty place among empty places and a dry place among dry places. But there is one thing that we have.

We have hearts that want to call out, "Father!" and hearts that want to meet you, and hearts that want to attend you. We know that those hearts alone are something precious that could not be exchanged even if we were given the heavens and the earth. We earnestly hope and desire that you will allow us to have hearts that will become the totality of that value until the very end.

Since we know that that has extremely precious value, please do not allow us to forget the fact that in order to do that we will have to have heroic hearts and make blood-curdling efforts.

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