Father! First, we would like to thank you that among the many peoples and lands you remembered this pitiful person who has been driven out so many times. We thank You that for Your holy Will, you chose the lonely mountains and rivers of this Korean peninsula, and we thank You that You are making Korea the focus of Your providence.
The more we think about the fact that there are so few people who are able to devote themselves completely to this Will, we cannot help but feel more and more ashamed. But when we think about the fact that a father's loving heart rests more with a handicapped child, we are hoping that you will forgive this person who has a historical background that could only cause you worry.
Father! The Unification children have gone through a history of struggles shedding blood and tears that others did not know about, having put up a boundary line of seven years until today. At times they were driven out; sometimes they wept smiting their breasts, or they held their empty stomachs; and sometimes they wept endless tears discussing your situation, Father.
Like this, all of the patriots of the past started with tears, but we could have a day when we could thank you for having reaped laughter rather than reaping tears. When we realize that it is because of your protection and all of your help, we cannot help but be even more grateful.
We appeal to you with one heart to realize quickly the heaven and earth of freedom where we can attend you, Father, and when we can speak out our hearts which we want to proclaim proudly. We are earnestly hoping and desiring that you will accept all of our situations as we are bowing to you.
No matter what anyone says, we are lonely people who have nothing. Only you are on our side; you alone are all that we have. We must realize that our living for you is a high and noble thing impossible to exchange for any amount of money in the world.
Father! Please let us be sincerely grateful for the fact that even though we are ugly, we have been placed in such a position today through the benefit of and the foundation of merit laid throughout all the lives of our ancestors.
We are earnestly hoping and desiring that you will make us able to be grateful not from our own personal positions but rather from a historical position that extends through the past, present, and future.
We sincerely ask you to extend the glory of our victory and grace to all things, and we have humbly prayed all these things in the holy name of the True Parents. Amen.
Dr. Sun Myung Moon
