Father! How could the way that you are going be the same as the way that we individuals are walking? And how can we feel that your internal feelings and our individual feelings can communicate with each other?

Our Father, who has endured and gone forward even in the midst of sorrow and grief-filled complications! We are people who cannot even look up at you. We earnestly hope and desire that you will pardon the days of our foolish past when we rushed forward without knowing you.

Now we know the attitude of life that we must have as individuals and the direction we must go, centered on the immense mission of having to judge the world and of having to create a new history. Therefore, we earnestly hope and desire that you will not let us forget the heart of our Father who has been waiting impatiently for that kind of day.

Father! You have worked very hard to drive the Unification Movement to this point, haven't you? Now we know that there are many trials left on the path that we must go. Each time we grope for the heart with which heaven endured in the midst of such complications, even though we hold on to you and struggle, we know the fact that we are not able to keep it, and we are calling out to you while shedding tears.

Father! Please let your many children become able to understand your situation.

We earnestly hope and desire, Father, that you will not let us forget how impatiently you have been waiting for children who can be proud after having received the blessing as princes and princesses of victory by having followed the movement you established and having subjugated the enemy.

Even if the seat of the religious services of the Unification Movement doesn't look like anything and is very shabby, please let it become a place where people are struggling to be centered on your heart. And we earnestly hope that you will let dwell, here in this place, a destined relationship that we cannot avoid and cannot separate from if we are centered on your situation.

Even though we are naked people who have nothing at all, even if we collapse due to the groups that are ostracizing us on this earth, we know that if this becomes a place where we fall on our backs, while holding on to your idea, your heart and your love alone, that is a place where you will be able to come to us without fail.

Therefore, earnestly hoping and desiring that you will not let a single one of your children who are following this destined relationship fall away, we have humbly prayed all these things in the holy name of the True Parents. Amen.
