Oh, Father! Please break all the arrows of evil that have flown our way until now. Since we do not consider the people sending them enemies, we earnestly hope that you will please forgive them.
When we consider that results of goodness should appear because the way you are going is good, we know that for that to happen, forgiveness and magnanimity must be substantially manifested. Because you are the fountainhead of love, we earnestly desire that you will please forgive through your infinite love and magnanimity the many religious people of this nation for their past acts of persecution against the children of the Unification Movement.
Although we were knocking on the door of unification, while on the way pioneering this difficult path of tears, this path of persecution, some people became exhausted and fell away because they could not meet even one person who could comfort them. And I know that many of the people going this way are exhausted.
I know that the fact that we are at a point where members are leaving and are exhausted is due more to not possessing the environment than to our wrongdoing. Therefore, when we think of them asking for forgiveness with their heads bowed towards you on the streets here and there and in the situations they are facing today; our hearts which want to relieve your grief-filled heart are angry and can hardly endure, but if we think about the merciful path of restoration through which you have been seeking the children of the enemy, we know you cannot help but bless them again, holding back your tears. Therefore, we earnestly ask you to please forgive them.
Please allow our true selves whichcano harmonize with goodness itself to be revealed through our minds and bodies, and as original children who were good, please allow only goodness to be reflected in our minds which long for the glory of your amazing original nature, the beautiful original nature. We earnestly ask that you will please allow this time to become one in which we long to become sons and daughters who can call you "Father," who have true attitudes through those kinds of hearts, who believe all things, and who become substantial beings who pursue goodness alone.
We have humbly prayed in the name of the True Parents. Amen.
