Father, you already know the destiny of this pitiful Korean peninsula where the north and south intersect.

Father, you already know the destiny of this pitiful Korean peninsula where the north and south intersect. Going through 5,000 years of history, this nation still has not been able to leave the path of suffering and it is now facing the final wall of the dark last days.

Oh, Father, please look on this nation with pity. The North and South are divided and have been placed in a situation where even if they want to unite, they cannot.

And even though they long for each other, they cannot meet, and even though they want to go to each other, they cannot because there is a wall blocking them. Father, please take pity on the destiny of this nation. We believe that only you can take dominion over the victory or defeat here.

We feel that you have called and raised us worthless people from among so many people for the sake of the future of these people and for the day of unification of these people. As we face such a historical destiny, we must bring our minds into oneness with your mind, Father, and we must bring our desire into oneness with your Will, and we must bring our ideal all into oneness with your ideal of creation.

Going beyond the history where people could not become filial sons, we must become sincere filial sons before you. We know that our historical ancestors passed away unable to fulfill their duty as loyal subjects as they were not able to give you a nation over which you could take dominion.

Father, if there is a way for us to become loyal subjects in a nation over which we can have dominion, we realize that going that way would be a rewarding path that realizes the highest dream someone born as a human being could have.

Therefore, please open up for us in a kind of way where we can fulfill our duty as loyal subjects who give our entire lives for the sake of that nation and that sovereignty and who find that nation for you.

From a position of loving heaven more than anyone else, we should love this nation, we should love this people, and we should love the sovereignty of this nation. We earnestly hope and desire that by personally taking dominion over this entire nation, you will allow Korea to become the nation that can attend to you.

Please let these people become people who can offer themselves to you as your people.

And we sincerely ask that you will allow this land to be able to offer itself as the foothold for your eternal victory as your land.

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