Father! We didn't know we are living as debtors to all created things in the fallen world, and that we are in a position where even husbands and wives are indebted to each other.

1

Father! We didn't know we are living as debtors to all created things in the fallen world, and that we are in a position where even husbands and wives are indebted to each other.

2

We didn't know we are also indebted to our parents and owe an indescribably large debt to You, our eternal Father.

3

Even if we view our situation from the viewpoint of the fallen world, we are indebted. We are indebted to the things of creation and to Jesus Christ, who introduced the paradigm of the bride and the bridegroom.

4

We are a people who should repay our debts while representing the love of our eternal Father, but instead of repaying those debts we worry and lame,nt focused on ourselves, and we curse the earth, the things of creation, and Heaven.

5

Furthermore, we cannot be excused in any way. Jesus battled to raise such people anew, willing to risk his life. Nevertheless, he was killed on the cross. For that reason, the two-thousand-year struggle to repay the debt incurred under heavenly law has not yet been resolved, and the word “judgment” remains.

6

Father! Please allow us to settle all the debts incurred throughout the muddled course of history so we may go over the summit of judgment. Please allow us to understand that we can stand before the eternal Father only if we become people who are more than able to repay all those debts.

7

We earnestly hope and desire that You lead us to live lives through which we can repay the debts of life You gave us after having cast off the conditions of Satan. Please grant that we may live as people who have repaid our debts to True Parents, true couples, and the true things of creation.

8

Father, please permit us to realize that Jesus has continued to invest himself completely until today on this path. Do not allow us to forget that Jesus and the Holy Spirit are praying endlessly in the spirit world for all people; this is because we have not yet indemnified our debts about heavenly law, and because we are so lacking and inadequate.

9

We now know that for Jesus and the Holy Spirit to stand in the position of glory that can bring joy to the Father, we need to fulfill Jesus' responsibility in his stead. Therefore, please allow us who are on earth to bring victory in the battle in heaven with Satan, and please let the works of Heaven be realized on earth.

10

We earnestly ask and desire that You allow us to become Your eternal children who feel Your love as our Father of joy and glory. Furthermore, we earnestly request that You raise us as Your true sons and daughters who can take dominion over all the things of creation with dignity and as Your beloved children who are not ashamed in front of You, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, the many saints and sages, all the people on earth and all things of creation.

11

We hope and pray that You govern us and guide us, that we may repay all our debts. I pray all these things in the name of the Lord. Aju! (June 10, 1956)
