Father! Ever since the battle between Cain and Abel began, when the foundation of death became established, the world of death has not disappeared and still exists. And while humankind could not cast off the yoke of this kind of environment, we of the present feel that your history of struggle has continued.
Now if conditions for lamentation remain, those conditions must be resolved, and if work remains that we must do, we must once again feel that it is the work of organizing and settling the accounts of this foundation that has gone wrong.
Having goodness as its basis, and having gone the way of crisis after crisis until now, the history of sorrow has continued as a history of getting up and running into sorrow again, and collapsing, and after collapsing, getting up again and running into sorrow again, and since this wall of sorrow has appeared before the eyes of this present generation, we have come to think that it remains as the world-level wall.
Oh, Father! To break down this wall, the individual will not be enough.
And a few friends who have a common will shall not be enough.
To achieve that, you had us establish families by calling and gathering individuals together, establish tribes by calling and gathering families together, establish the people by calling and gathering the tribes together, and establish the nation by calling and gathering the people together. The hope that you held was that even if we established the nation, we would march onward toward one unified world.
But we must think that it will not do if we do not have the individuals, families, tribes, and people who can atone for sin and take responsibility for their work according to the purpose of our Will.
Even though history became sorrowful externally because of humankind, how many sons and daughters do you have who are struggling for the sake of the world, and who are taking responsibility for all those things here on earth?
Please let this become a time when we each re-examine our hearts and have a new attitude about you. Please let this become a time when we can consider once again whether we have become people whom you can remember as having the conditions of compassion and the attitude of compassion.
Oh, Father! We must come to understand that even while you are suffering, you respond to our requests, and you are waiting for the time when you can give us blessings. We have come to think about how severe the suffering of your heart must have been, and how severe the wounds of your mind must have been as you faced the sorrowful history of six thousand years as days like that continue.
Who is there who could remove this kind of distorted, blocked, heartistic grief? It will not do unless it is a true son of filial piety, and it will not do unless it is a true daughter of filial piety. But we know that it cannot be done by a filial son centered on the family, and it cannot be done by a filial son centered on the tribe, and it cannot be done by a filial son representing the people, either. Please act to let us know the truth that unless it is a true son of filial piety who, representing the world and representing heaven and earth, can appear and be proud before Satan, he will not be able to bring out the pierced and hidden heart in your mind.
We earnestly hope that you will pardon the patriots of the past who were unable to realize that you were in such a wonderful internal predicament, Father.
And we have earnestly and humbly prayed in the names of the True Parents.
Amen.
Sun Myung Moon
