Oh Father! Today, this time is a time that has a historical distance from Jesus. But we know that even though there is a distance in history, there is no distance in the world of heart.
Oh, Father! Today, this time is a time that has a historical distance from Jesus. But we know that even though there is a distance in history, there is no distance in the world of the heart. Therefore, please do not let us become people who believe in the historical Jesus; please let us become people who can know and believe in Jesus directly through our hearts.

Please allow our minds and bodies to be filled with awe-filled minds, earnest minds, moved minds that can hear the voice of that time what appealed to us, and to bow down our heads before him and feel sorrow through our minds while imagining the anxious majesty of Jesus who spoke.
Please let us become people who call you "Father" without even realizing it, and who, without knowing when we do it, thank you while feeling the ecstatic grace of the Lord. Please let us feel sorrow over the ghastly road he went after appearing on the earth, even though the messiah whom you sent was a being whom heaven should have protected and supported, and please let us be concerned over his toil and angry over his anger.
By our artistically taking over today all the things that our ancestors of that time could not do, please let us become people who console and people who comfort Jesus in their stead, and please let us become objects of hope to him.
How pitiful a person was Jesus? His mind could not help but lament when he looked at the people, and there was nothing for his heart to do but weep aloud when he looked at the religious bodies. Humankind could not understand its situation of having the responsibility for the providence of heavenly destiny.
No one understood his heart as he wandered in the mountains alone at night, putting behind him humankind, with whom he should have communicated his heart, the religious bodies, with which he should have shared his heart, and the people, with whom he should have lived together. Today, please do not allow us to become like the people who follow Jesus without knowing him, and who believe in Jesus without knowing him. Earnestly hope that you will allow us to become people who cling to his pitiful heart, who can weep endlessly for it, who can be endlessly concerned about him, and who are able not to mind even the place of death for his sake.
We have humbly prayed in the name of the Lord. Amen.
