Father! Please protect the path that this 30 million people will walk.

1

Father! Please protect the path that these 30 million people will walk. You know the wretched situation of these people whose anguished, bloody history has continued on and on, and whose nation has been divided into North and South.

2

Their heart of love for this nation divided at the 38th parallel will have to be higher and deeper than that 38th parallel.

Their attitude should be one of regarding North Korea as their own hands and feet.

The people who are to take responsibility for this nation are the members of the Unification Movement who don't know anything. When we think that the Unification Movement must do it, we must firmly grasp the grief of these grief-filled people and become a movement that pushes it aside.


Out of concern for the remaining destiny of these 30 million people, we have determined a period for devotion, and we are offering devotion; therefore, please protect these people. This nation, this person must not believe some person, Father; they must believe you. They must stand close before you. And more than anyone else, our Unification Movement must struggle to become the people who can do that.

Oh, Father! Please protect these pitiful people. Please take pity on these people who have left a history of grief in front of you, who sought hope. We know that the daily life of humankind always has temptations, so you will have to forgive what these people have done wrong.

Now we will have to become a movement that can prepare the way for you to come.

3

Even if we are held in contempt by others, please let us become a people who repent for the past with tears, and in this age, please let us become a people who find you again with new hearts that can become one before you. Since we have not yet become that kind of people, we must come to feel deeply that the Unification Church's mission remains to make these people into that kind of people.

Centering on this religious body, the Unification Church, what will we leave before you at that moment when we pass over the final path of death?

When we gather together our sons and daughters or gather together the disciples who are following us, and we tell them what we are leaving for our co-workers or our people, please allow us to be Unification Church members who can say I am a son or I am a daughter who leaves various kinds of things.

Father! We are not people who are blindly following the environment of this age.

We are a movement that must create a new history and lead this age. Therefore, we earnestly hope and desire that you will remember us.

We know that the footprints that we have left as we walked and our appearance as we have struggled up until now have been too weak. We know that we must once again control our tired, exhausted minds and bodies and turn once again and go before you.

But even despite that, we are at a point where, on our own, none of us can find even vigor for our bodies. So, Father, we earnestly hope and desire that you will please take responsibility and once again allow us to have vigor.

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