Father! Please take pity on these people. We imagine that from the time that your providential Will appeared in this land until now, these people did not know where to go, and this has caused you great sorrow. Father, we earnestly hope and desire that you will bear with these people once more.
You have said that whatever is loosed on earth will be loosed in heaven.
In the same way, we have a deep longing for these people, and even though we have sorrow in relation to the people of the world when we consider that you have hope for this nation, these people, and this world, we feel that we also must have new hope.
Because until now there has had to be someone responsible for offering sacrifices of atonement for our wrongdoings and inadequacies, we must feel once again that we are those who must control our sorrow, put on the bloodstained garments of the chief priest and in the direction of the holy of holies bow down before you, Father.
Father! When we think about your deep heart of love for these people the course of difficulties that you have gone through for these people, and how much we are able to attend you and to praise you on this day, we cannot help but realize that we must always feel how unworthy we are.
As we go forward believing in you, Heavenly Father, we have forgotten these people and this world, but have you at any time ever forgotten these people or this world, or have you ever forgotten about humankind?
Each time you were moved by loneliness, you were denied by humankind to your face, but after that,t you sought to hold humankind again. That is exactly what your situation has been. You have sought a father-son relationship with the heart of a parent. Because we must experience this directly, not only through words, we earnestly hope that you will allow each one of us to awaken to this once again.
We pray all these things in the name of the True Parents.
Dr. Sun Myung Moon
