Father! This people has been a people that has gone hungry, that has had no place to lean, that has had no hope, and that has had nothing to speak proudly about. Each time these people depended on something, they were captured by it and trampled upon by it. For these reasons, we cannot deny that your sorrow must have been great while dealing with these people.
When we look at the history of these people, through the invasions of other peoples there were so many complicated and twisted situations. At each of those times, the common people were torn apart, trampled upon, and pursued, and you know that they were placed in terrible circumstances We, who have inherited the flesh and blood of this people, are gathered here. The time has come for us to appeal to heaven to heal the grief of these people. These people have been placed in wretched circumstances, and at this crossroads of life and death, the people are running around in utter confusion. In this situation who will become the central figure?
The time has come for us to sing the song of liberation and raise a beacon of new hearts. We know that we have reached the era when we must sound the bugle to march. Father, please gather together the young people who understand your will.
Gather together your sons and daughters who are shedding blood and tears while waiting for these people.
We are not a group that appeals to others while following some system of thought. More than that, we look forward to being the first to die so that we cand become the fertilizer that will allow new shoots to rise above these people.
We pledge before you that we will become that kind of people. Therefore Father, before we speak, please let us experience your heart, and may our eager hearts be filled only by you; please melt our hearts. Please allow each of us to reappraise ourselves to determine our point in existence, and to appear in a new resurrected form.
We have humbly prayed all these things in the name of the Lord. Amen.
Dr. Sun Myung Moon
