My Anger against Satan becomes greater

Dear Mr. [Young Hwi] Kim,

Although the situation in the world is very bad and all kinds of disasters take place all the time, it is sad to see, that mankind will not look for help where help really can be expected: from our Heavenly Father. Why can Man not call to God deep from his heart, when depression and loneliness burden his life in an unprecedented way? Is it possible, that man's pride dominates everything, of is the suffering not yet hard enough throughout the world to open man's eyes? When I'm thinking of the suffering our Heavenly Father and the True Parents have to bear, my anger against Satan becomes greater and at the same time my longing is greater to work harder for God and to serve mankind. God and his people will be victorious, whatever difficulties we have to face and to overcome. We want to be good for this purpose.

To pay for the restoration of this country I fasted 12 days last month. Together with Margo I distributed 120 pamphlets each in two large college centers and have gotten three answers from this action so far. New contacts were possible. I taught about a dozen young people and I hope that especially Mary, Rut and Lasse will come again.

Again and again I experience that prepared people are already dong something to help mankind by working in the social field. Often they spend nearly all their spare time there. This way they are kept busy and do not have time enough to study the Principle. All sorts of crimes with all their negative consequences as well as spiritual and physical diseases are more frequent, especially here in Stockholm. That means, working in this field requires complete engagement. People who are doing this kind of work are fully convinced, that they already "work for God", but they do not realize, that these are only the symptoms they are fighting against and they ignore the cause.

The youth in the old churches-as far as religion is concerned- do not feel engaged. Therefore positive talks are sometimes possible. Yet in the newer religious groups it is almost impossible to find somebody who is open enough to listen to something else than the Bible.

Nevertheless our Father has prepared people all over the world who will be able to hear his call. It is up to us to find them and to win their hearts.

I deep gratitude I send my greetings to the Holy Family in Korea, to all my brothers and sisters working in our homeland and all over the world to build to Father's Kingdom.

In the Name of our True Parents,
Friedhilde Bachle
