Please allow us to realize that in our minds and bodies, there remains the original root of sin which we cannot deal with by our strength alone.
The Words of Sun Myung Moon From 1969
Prayer: Please Allow Us To Become Those Who Can Be Together With Goodness Forever
Sun Myung Moon
June 22, 1969
Father! Please allow us to realize that in our minds and bodies, there remains the original root of sin, which we cannot deal with by our strength alone.
Please allow us to realize what kinds of things we have been through in the past until now, and that we have been people like that, and please allow us to ardently feel the need for a stimulating, dynamic force that will let us revolutionize ourselves once again today.
We earnestly hope and desire that you will allow us to know that without putting aside me of today and being able to establish a self who can make a new me for tomorrow, we will not be able to become beings who remain even in the lower levels of this goodwill and good historical course.
Please do not allow us to become pitiful people whose lives just flow along with the flowing waves. And please allow us to understand clearly that we have remaining with us the purpose of goodness which must swim upstream against the current.
When we look through the course of history we know well that the will of heaven is not something that goes forward separate from history; it deals with history and raises history quickly. From that kind of course alone we know well the fact that you have been working with us in history. Today at this time we earnestly hope and desire that you will allow us to once again think about what kind of position we are in and to stand in a position where we can communicate with you about matters.
Please allow us to understand completely that you remain with things of goodness forever and you will not allow evil to participate. You become partners with goodness and go out together with goodness, and since you go forth looking towards the one will that can be accomplished together with goodness, even if our bodies are eliminated please allow us to feel once again at this time before you, Father, that we must become people whose minds at least remain with goodness forever.
Then we earnestly hope and desire that you will allow us to have minds that become one with your will, our eternal Father, and subjugate and take dominion over our bodies according to the directions and commands of our minds, and that our bodies will be able to communicate with our minds.
We earnestly hope that you will allow this time to become one we are attending to desire once again to be people who can do that, and to control ourselves again to be able to do that, and to determine ourselves again to be able to do that. We have humbly prayed all these things in the name of the True Parents. Amen.
