At this time please allow us to come to understand your heart which was so sorrowful.

Father! You lost the original garden. At this time please allow us to come to understand your heart which was so sorrowful. We earnestly hope and desire that you will allow our minds and bodies to feel that you have remained in endless sorrow and endless suffering and that you have shed tears without our knowing it.

Please allow us to experience through our minds and bodies the entirety of your sorrowful heart, and please let: us realize at this time that your sorrow due to the fall of Adam and Eve was great. Please let us realize that it also caused unspeakable suffering, loneliness, and sorrow for you that Jesus Christ, who came to the earth and took responsibility for the will of the providence of restoration, was not able to complete his entire mission and died on the cross.

As we think about your having gone through the sorrowful course of history about which you could not help but feel greatly indignant because our ancestors betrayed you, we ask you to please not allow us to stand in a pitiful position that would add more to your sorrow through our lives today. We earnestly hope and desire, Father, that you will allow us to become people who can cope with the sorrow of Adam and Eve and to cope with the sorrow of Jesus Christ.

Now please do not let our minds and bodies remain as our simple minds and bodies alone. Please allow our minds to represent your mind, Father, and our bodies to represent your external form.

Please allow us to be able to testify to our Father who has a sorrowful heart.

We have prayed in the name of the Lord. Amen.
