Father of Love! Thank you for having come to us. Today you have come to us in joy, but we are afraid that as you leave tomorrow you won't be able to promise a day to recite poems of joy when you leave. We have come to know that your complicated course, as you have been dealing with humankind, has been one where you met people in joy but where the days of departure were departures in sorrow.

Please allow us to have more longing for you tomorrow than today, and please allow us to be able to long for you even more as we enter our old age than in our youth. In that way please allow us to become sons and daughters who are able to go forward step by step to the profound and sublime world of the heart.

Furthermore, please allow us to comfort your heart of enmity, to resolve the grief of the enmity of Jesus, and to resolve the grief of the enmity of the historical ancestors, and we earnestly hope and desire, Father, that because of us, the final mission of today, the heavenly resolution of grief, will be accomplished and offered to you.

Today we have come to know that Jesus came with the heart of a pioneer. Why was his glory turned into pioneering? It was because John the Baptist betrayed him; it was because the religious bodies betrayed him; it was because the people betrayed him; and it was because all the people of the world betrayed him.

As long as we know that this is the historical reality left behind in the Christian history of today, please allow internally determined hearts to soar up on the foundation of our minds, like the determined heart of Jesus who started from the preparation period, went through the period of accomplishment, and went up towards the standard of perfection.

Jesus faced enemies on the level of the people and enemies on the level of the nation, but since today we have the responsibility to face enemies beyond the people, on the level of the world, and enemies on the level of the cosmos, that is to say, since we have a responsibility such that it will not do unless we cope with the mission of the final pioneer, please give us ability, Father. Earnestly hoping that you will allow us to become sons and daughters of victorious glory by enthusiastically walking to the end of the path of the world-level Golgotha and by carrying this responsibility by ourselves.

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

February 1, 1959

We hope that you will allow us to become children who can make you happy, Father, and who are able to follow your voice which is calling us and run out onto the field of battle, in order to realize the hope you desire, while looking up at heaven and at all the things of creation.

We must know your lonely historical grief, and we must know the truth of how anxious and grievous your footsteps have been as you have sought this world. When we think that our bodies must be your footholds as you go, Father, and must be used as the materials to smooth out a level path, we come to know that even though we fall over, struggle, and shed blood because it is a path of thorns, the mission of having to pioneer this path is the true mission and the responsibility that we must fulfill.

Please allow us to pave the way this people will go by offering our minds and bodies, and by this people's being established, please let them be able to pave a straight way on which all people can go towards you, Father. We earnestly hope that you will allow this people to become able to receive this kind of grace of love.

Father! We have walked a path that others have not known and that others have not welcomed. There were many sad times and there were many lonely times. But because it was the path that you have been going, we welcomed it with tears and grateful hearts, and we know that we have called out to you millions of times with voices reflecting hearts filled with tears, and we know how precious is the fact that together with our voices which called out to you and together with our tears, you also shed tears.

Please remember the names of the earnest and admirable Unification workers who did not mind going the way of hard work in order to go that path, because they knew it was that kind of path, and who struggled along the path of asceticism, and who went forth taking as their standard the world-level course of Golgotha in order to greet the day of joy when they could call out to you. Today is there anyone who is tired of being devoted to your Will? We earnestly hope that you will love them again by reaching out with your heart of mercy.

Since we must now walk again on the path of grief-filled restoration, please consider those footsteps as holy, and please remember how they look. We earnestly hope and desire, Father, that you will allow us to become your sons and daughters who are able to be placed by you personally in front of many people by having received your protection and authority, by having a hundred victories for every hundred battles wherever we go, and by establishing a foundation of glory before you, and who are able to have you praise us, saying, he is my son, and she is my daughter.

Earnestly hoping that only the glory of victory will remain before the Will which you are planning on the remaining path of restoration.

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

December 26, 1965

Father! Please look with mercy on your children who have gathered here today. All of your children here will have to go and find the nation of the original homeland. Who could have known that this path which leads to the nation of the original homeland was such a difficult path?

Father! Please allow us to step on this foundation of enmity, on this grief-filled world of lamentations, and by kicking it aside, please let us have an explosion of new minds which are able to fly like missiles to a new stage. Please allow us to have the explosive power and driving force of heart. Since we know that in order to do that, it will not do unless we have your love, we earnestly hope and desire, Father, that you will allow us to become people like that.

We know that it doesn't matter even if someone blocks and opposes this path. The way we must go is pressing, and because it is pressing we cannot rest even if we want to, and since we know that we are unification children who are facing the destiny we must go and that we must urge ourselves on, please smooth the way in front of us and please let us determine to fight at each peak on the path we are going. We earnestly hope and desire, Father, that you will please not allow there to be anyone who falls down after having gone up.

Please remember those who have endured and gone along suppressing their sorrowful breasts along the many courses of history, and please do not allow the light of apprehension, despair, or defeat to shine on their faces. Father, we have had that kind of past, but please allow us to be able to go forward in the midst of the hope of tomorrow with hearts that are bursting, overflowing with hope, and overflowing with joy.

Father! Please allow us to have hearts that are able to report form a position of not deviating from the ideal world, and please allow us to become victors in our daily lives day by day. Please allow us to become victors in our daily lives year by year.

We earnestly hope and desire that you will allow us to become the heroes of the establishment of the nation who are able to build the nation of the original homeland which is the foundation of joy which you want to allow to us by letting us become victors in our course of life. We earnestly hope and desire, Father, that you will allow us to become your sons and daughters who are able to attend you by having built the kingdom of peace, and who are able to live and die there for thousands and thousands of years.

Please allow there to be peace on the days which remain, and please allow your divine protection to be over the joy-filled course of your children. As for their going forward having determined all kinds of loyalty and sacrifice, while earnestly requesting that you will allow your heart of mercy to overflow in the center of their lives always.

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

March 10, 1968

Father: We thought that being your sons was only good, and we have lived forgetting the fact that to the extent that we are your sons, the cross is placed on our shoulders.

But now we have come to understand, Father, that our being different from the people of the world is this kind of difference, and we are able to receive your love because of this aspect, and our being able to shoulder the burden of history is because of this, too.

Today, when we look at the world of Satan, we come to know the truth that in order to search for a second beginning, your love has been accompanying us deeply throughout the course of history and now in this age. We earnestly hope and desire that you will allow us to become your sons and daughters who are able to be grateful for this.

As for our going the absolutely necessary course in front of us, which we must go now, we must go the path of the individual Abel, and we must go the course of the family, tribe, people, nation, and world-level Abels. Please let us realize that until we have gone the whole way on this path, we will become busier and busier. Please go together with us along this path we are going while being so busy that we have no time to eat even though we want to, and we have no time to sleep even though we want to.

We know the fact that you can look at us and finally take a rest when not only we, but also the Cain world we have saved, return to you, Father. Please allow us to become people who fulfill this kind of responsibility completely, who make efforts and offer all our devotion without any lack, while indemnifying your indignation, Father. Requesting you to please be together with us personally in everything.

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

April 5, 1970

Father! Having written Christian history over thousands of years, you have related to history on the solid foundation of your unchanging innermost heart. We know well that the historical story of your having carried out the providence until now is a story of your having shortened the complicated stages of the sinful elements along that course by having paid indemnity.

We have come to fathom that it is the way of your Will that for thousands of years good people have been sacrificed in order to prepare the beginning about which you can say, "This is it," at a starting point that resulted from that shortened history. Along that way, many people shed blood, but we know that there was no person who shed blood while standing in the position you truly wanted. Because that was your grief, Father, in order to resolve that decisive starting point you sent Jesus, but we know that even Jesus died with the sorrow of not having been able to find that starting point centered on the earth and the spirit world.

Then the history of toil of our Father, who carried out the providence even by having extended history, went forward having fallen down to being a miserable path with the added burden of the cross. We know that then, in order to resolve that in the historical Last Days, once again you prepared this kind of awesome starting point by establishing the Unification Family. But we must know clearly that this starting point definitely is not realized from a reckless position. We must realize that it is accomplished only if we have unchanging content following certain sound, fundamental rules.

When we think about what you will request of us at this point, we come to think that it is not the widening of a foundation of external power; rather, it is the building up of one individual, one family, and one tribe which have been transformed by the Principle on a solid foundation. We must realize the truth that, that movement is more precious than anything else.

When we think of things like this, if we reflect once again on how important we have considered a view of life that is in accord with the Principle up until now, we cannot help but realize that we are people who have been disloyal to you, Father. When we think that until now we have gone forward from a position of each of us going our own ways, leaving the Principle as the Principle and our daily lives as our daily lives, please allow each one of us to admit once again that we have not been loyal or filial to you, our Father, who has worked so hard for each of us.

Please pardon the sorrow of the past when we could not have sovereignty where we could become one with you from a position of the Principle and our daily lives having become one. And furthermore, please demolish our selves which are facing such a present situation. Then we earnestly hope and desire that you will once again let us realize that it will not do unless we become people who have principled characters, who are confident that you can dwell at a starting point, at the same time that we can represent you eternally.

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

April 26, 1970

Beloved Father! We have realized that you are seeking princes and princesses of victory who praise the glory of the victory of tomorrow while enthusiastically seeking the world of the springtime culture in their hearts, having the substance which is able to go through a destined relationship of all four seasons with our Father who is the eternal subject.

We earnestly hope and desire, Father, that you will let us become your children who are able to be aware of how holy our own selves appear who have been called to this holy fate. A person comes and passes away once. However precious life may be, we know that it cannot he compared to the bloom of youth.

Oh Father, when we enter our prime of life, we have burdens to carry, and if we fight and cannot keep up, we know that our descendents, who are the fruit of that, will be miserable. Because of that, we know that only if we live vigorously during our prime of life, and while going through our old age are a family which has in its bosom descendents who are able to greet the new spring and see the new summer season, then later we will be able to overcome without difficulties the winter season which will come to us.

The more we understand that three billion people of the world are standing on a line now that determines their final destiny in front of the abyss of hopelessness due to the fall, we come to know that the winter season can be overcome in the world of humankind only if there are princes and princesses of heaven here who are able to represent the spring of tomorrow and who are able to represent the summer of tomorrow. Judging from this we come to know the fact that God's providence accomplishes its decisive beginning which is able to have victory over the realm of death by connecting the destined relationships to other destined relationships from that point.

Oh Father' Please let us kick aside the grief of our ancestors who died leaving behind sorrow, and please let us kick aside the stronghold of the enemy which bore the fruit of enmity with humankind, and please let us be able to have the hope of tomorrow in our breasts.

Having passed through springtime and summertime, we are the substantial fruits of the autumn season; therefore, we must become people who are not unworthy of inheriting the world of hope of the future. Then we must become sons and daughters who appear as heavenly princes and princesses who do not fear the approaching winter season and who are able to survive as the frame of reference of your victory. Earnestly hoping that you will let this insignificant group of people gathered here become those kinds of sons and daughters.

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

May 3, 1970

Father! We long for your voice which gave directions to us. Please let that touching voice which told us to head towards the greatest goodness once again move our minds at this time.

We long for the earnest appeal of our broken-hearted father who advised us to go the way of historical misfortune by going over the path of persecution, the path of suffering, the path of difficulties, and the mount of Golgotha, which the Lord left behind. Father: Please have mercy on us since we are bowing down our heads before the awesome grace of your having told us to resemble the internal character of our extraordinarily sublime Lord, after having gathered us together, your children who have grown up as we wished, have lived as we wished, and are as we wish.

We offer our thanks to you, our Father, who has called and gathered us, and has given the immeasurable grace of the blessing to us, your children, who are filled with sin, and who, even though we analyze our original natures or characters, have nothing to offer to you. Please let us experience and feel keenly and verify the broken-hearted situation and heart of our Father who earnestly asks only for faith and heart alone.

Father! We do not want to listen to the words of a person.

We have already heard many words and seen many people. We have related to many people, and we have visited places that were inspiring, but they have all passed by without having formed relationships with us. The inspiration passed by as inspiration; the people passed by as people; and we who are left are like historical orphans who are all alone. Because of that, we are hoping that a new spring breeze will come. How much you must be longing to be able to allow grace like that, Father! Please let us become people who gather before your holy majesty with thirsting and eager minds and hearts which report truthfully. Father, we earnestly hope for and desire this.

What shall we say? Before speaking, please let us experience and feel keenly a deep inspiration which moves our minds without our even knowing it, and please let us be able to weep aloud and shed tears, and have our minds become overcome with grief without our knowing it. We know that such a state of mind does not occur unless heaven causes it, and we know that one experience is more valuable than millions of words.

Since we unworthy people have come before you, Father, please let us go back to having the minds of children. The people who say they have learned and know, how much do they really know, and those who say themselves that they have something to be proud of, how much do they have which they can put forward in heaven? We know that they have nothing.

We know that more than excuses, the truth, and more than the truth, experiences of the heart are what will he collected after we die, and they are what will remain. Therefore, please personally manifest yourself to us, your children, who must be the central figures of history.

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

October 11, 1959

Oh Father! We earnestly hope and desire, Father, that you will allow this to become a time when you can make your appeal go through by building bridges between your mind and each mind and by connecting your heart with each heart, and when we are able to experience your heart and feel it keenly.

In the course of history so many saints and sages have come and gone, but they did not know what the circumstances of heaven were, and they did not know what the heart of heaven was like.

Please allow us to know that the closer the Last Days come, the problems that have to be discussed and solved are the circumstances of heaven and the heart of heaven.

Please allow this to become a time when we how down deeply to you, Father, and when we can determine ourselves to go forth with joyful minds even if we sacrifice everything in order to solve these problems. Please let us realize once again that it will not do unless we become sacrifices. We earnestly hope and desire, Father, that you will allow this to become a time when we hope for your power, Father.

We know that even if heaven has prepared everything, it will not do unless we ourselves have a foundation of preparation in our minds and bodies that corresponds to that preparation. Please do not allow us to let anything remain of what has been in our minds up until now, and please allow us to be able to return to the hearts of children, and once again form our destined relationship with heaven through the touch of your gentle heart.

We earnestly hope and desire that you will let this become a time when we are able to harmonize with heaven by being immersed in the grace commanded by you, Father, and when you personally discuss with us, and you can establish a new covenant with us.

Please allow this to become a time when through the words of the new covenant we are able to once again determine and pledge ourselves to you, and while earnestly hoping that you will allow this to become a time when we can establish a purified standard before you while repenting for everything of the past.

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

October 11, 1959

Beloved Father! Our minds have all sorts of forms and figures, but please let your character appear in our daily lives, and please allow us to become beings of righteousness who are able to move when you move, and who are able to be still when you are still.

Since you know, Father, that we, who are weak, are kneeling down before you, and are going towards the heavenly castle, even if our bodies are blocking the mercy of our eternal Father by being trapped in secularity, please allow your external form to appear through our minds and bodies by our bodies' subjugating everything that is secular Please act, Father, to let us be able to feel through our minds and to sense through our bodies that the Will of that kind of providence, and the grace of the providence, and the love the providence are connected with us.

We feel that today also our minds are running towards absolute goodness, but our bodies are counterattacking our minds continuously in order to obtain secular things. Therefore, Father, please allow our minds and bodies to become one centered on your Will. We earnestly hope and desire, Father, that you will completely remove the footholds through which Satan can work in our minds and bodies, by breaking down the distance between your heart and our hearts.

Until today, heaven has sought to embrace and love our bodies which were centered on our minds, but we still have not been able to appear as complete object partners of beauty in the presence of the internal character and external form of the innermost heart of our Father. We know that this causes historical sorrow and lamentation. Since these are minds and bodies which cannot help but kneel down before you, and are minds and bodies that have been stained by sin, and are inadequate minds and bodies which are longing to be filled by your overflowing grace, Father, please, take hold of all of our minds and bodies now.

Please let us be able to appear as people who return joy to your internal character and respond to your mind. Now please allow us to be able to kneel down in front of your majesty and return glory to you by having the standard of hope for which you have longed for six thousand years, and we earnestly hope and desire, beloved Father, that you will allow this to become a time when we can reveal your internal character to you, so that you will be able to rest.

We know the fact that all the ideologies, doctrines, and the rights that people have, all these things will disappear. But we earnestly hope and desire, Father, that you will let us have in our minds power which comes and explodes anew, and eyes of resurrection through our minds and bodies having entered into the fundamental position which can exist eternally, and please let its cast aside our daily lives centered on ourselves, and please guide us to lead our daily lives centered on the cosmos. We earnestly hope and desire, beloved Father, that you will allow us to become able to experience and feel keenly your mind as our mind and your heart as our heart.

We have humbly prayed in the name of the Lord. Amen.
