Father! Through your words, we have come to know that heaven and earth are like one body. When we come to realize that heaven is the subject and we are minor details, we realize that we are beings who cannot live even one day or one moment without receiving the sap of life and love of heaven.
And when we realize that our being is such that we should live as one of the branches and leaves of heaven receiving the sap of love flowing out from the eternal God, we ask you to forgive us for not having lived like that.
Father! It is the Last Days, and at this time which is announcing the Day of Judgment, we ask that you will allow each of us to be grafted to your love centered on Jesus Christ who is the perfect root.
We know that you are longing to gather from each of us fruits of love born through the love of our eternal Father and through the love of Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
But for us to arrive at that point by ourselves, we are so insufficient, so incomplete, and so immature that we worry that we might become obstacles to your scything of the harvest.
Since we now commit ourselves to you, Father, oh please, Father, raise us and take care of us. Amid trials and tribulations place us in the pulpits and allow us to become complete as mature fruits. And please allow us to become people who bear fruit and who realize the eternal Kingdom of Heaven by joining hands with the love of our eternal Father, and please let us become harvest workers who can bring in the harvest for you.
Please let us come to realize that you are pressing for the realization of the Day of Christ through us now. Please let us understand that this is the time that you want to show the love of Christ by raising us.
And furthermore, please let us realize that you have raised us up and you are waiting for us to embrace the sufferings of Christ now in this 20th century. Father, please lead us so that our steps which are running towards the castle of heaven are not centered on ourselves, and please do not let anyone remain in a state where he prays centered on himself.
Please allow us to come forward and cast out all the elements that evil can attack.
In order to realize the Will that you desire and are directing please take hold of us, Father, and help us to endure and continue going even on paths where we could not help but collapse and be disappointed or on paths with any kind of serious struggle. Father, we earnestly hope for and desire this.
Father! We pray when in place of Jesus we do the work that he could not accomplish completely on this earth, even if we are persecuted by these people, please help us to be able to cope with all these things.
And when we live for the sake of heaven, even if we are insulted by the people on earth and have difficulties and experience anguish, please let us overcome everything capably and remain to the end.
Six thousand years have passed until today. Since Jesus has been longing for this day of harvest and is calling us, through us please wipe away the stains of the blood and tears of the cross and historical anguish, and lead us to become the shields of victory. Please do not let us forget that Jesus who was the incarnation of hope is waiting for us to become qualified people who are able to take dominion over Satan.
In that way, today also we must fight in place of heaven, holding the joyful Will of our Father in our hearts. We are earnestly hoping and desiring that you will let us become sons and daughters who are determined to subjugate the enemy Satan.
And if we dedicate the course of our lives to this work, and we are not able to complete the mission, the work of our Father, then let us be determined to complete it even through our descendants.
We offer all these things in the name of the Lord. Amen.
Dr. Sun Myung Moon
