Father! To establish the nation of victory that you are seeking, we will have to determine to conquer and lead our bodies, to offer everything, and to go forward. Before we die, we must see without fail that day of victory which you have been seeking.
We must keenly feel that we have the responsibility to find without fail that nation of victory that you have longed for. Furthermore, we must go forward hoping to become a people of victory who have established that nation. We must become a holy group that can represent a tribe and can build up that kind of a people.
As a group with few members w,e will not be able to help but go through a course of struggles while seeking to represent the whole in relation to your will. When we think that the real facts of the course of history are that one cannot help but go through a course of discipline, trials, and suffering, we earnestly hope and desire, Father, that you will allow us to walk this path in a proper way.
Father! Please tell us what to do. Now our minds must become impatient, and our bodies must run quickly toward that one place. We must determine ourselves and realize that we should go and then go some more, that we should run towards the distant path of tomorrow. We must understand that our sad situation is such that it is not our responsibility to merely go a determined way; rather, it is our responsibility to go forward as pioneers, feeling our way along the path.
Before us it is not happiness, glory, and shouts of joy that are waiting; rather, we must realize that struggles, grief-filled complications, and uncivilized areasthath must be developed are spread out before us, and we must go forward looking towards them.
It is not for us to brag about the past we have endured; rather, we must realize that if we are not at the point where we can brag about ourselves and what we will have to endure from now on, we will not be able to overcome this way, and as brave people, we will not be able to determine the victory of tomorrow.
We must go forward, longing for the day when we will be able to attend you, Father, you who take dominion over that nation, who love that nation, and who are spreading the authority of that nation. Even though we do not have that kind of situation now, we must go through the trials that are coming and attend to you, Father, in the world of the heart and hope for that nation. At this stage of lif,e we must not be a group that is slow to carry out its mission as pioneers. Therefore, Father, we earnestly hope and desire that you will allow us to determine ourselves again at this time.
Until now we have been a weak group. But we must become a strong site which you can move by taking our hands, uniting our bodies, uniting our minds, and harmonizing our hearts. Please let us become like a guided missile base.
Father! Please give us strength. Please embrace our weak selves with your heart of compassion and raise us up. Please fill us with the valuable content that will allow us to take part in the goal you are hoping for.
We offer all these things in the name of the True Parents. Amen.
Dr. Sun Myung Moon
