My Father! I know that you, Father I am calling out to you have been so wretched.

1

My Father! I know that you, Father I am calling out to you have been so wretched.

Father! The great majority of humankind understand that you are clothed in glory, you are ruling for ten thousand years, and are held in glory as you proclaim that you love all people, and all humankind wants to be held to the breast of such a father, and want to cling to such a father.

Until now that has been the ambition of humankind. But the father that the Unification Church members are clinging to has been a father who has endured going forth gritting his teeth, looking towards a future of hope day and night in the very center of the point of death. The hope that Unification believers are longing for is to shed the tears of your painful heart, holding your hand which has been wounded along the path of thorns and the path of so much suffering and so many false charges.

No matter what anyone in the world says, our image and prestige are not the problem. We must become a group who know for sure how to go to that point gratefully even if our bodies are ripped apart and our dignity trampled upon, even when your laws of the family, become crumpled, and clouds cover everything before your Will.

We earnestly hope that you will not allow us to become a group that forgets how much you have struggled to find and establish this kind of group inside the Unification Movement.

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