We have come to know your heart which was indignant when Adam fell in the Garden of Eden. And we know that you walked over peaks of hard work for four thousand years to restore that. Furthermore, we know your deep mind which sent Jesus Christ as the torch of hope, as the torch of sacrifice to the people of Israel on this earth.
We know that you sent Jesus in hope while looking forward to the day of restoration, but because the people opposed him and the environment did not welcome him, we know your heart was indignant as you had to watch while he died on the cross.
The history of blood, which has continued down since that day until now, has stained the history of this earth, and it has left traces in the minds of humankind. And in the spirit world, the many saints and sages and martyrs who have come and gone in the course of history, are looking forward eagerly to the day of victory and the day of the resolution of grief.
We must realize that the time of hope that they are looking forward to eagerly is this very age, this very moment, and we must be truly grateful to have been born in this awe-inspiring, amazing, historical age. And then we must become your sons and daughters who dare determinedto fulfill the duties of loyalty and filial piety by being on fire with a serious sense of mission.
Now the Unification Church has laid a foundation such that it will not disappear from this earth. Many children worked hard during that time for the sake of this. Until now we have overcome many things for the sake of the way the world must go, centered on the thirty million Korean people, on this nation, and on this land, and they have hearts that have been mistreated historically and which could not share their situations with anyone at all. How very hard you must have worked to protect us in the midst of that! We sincerely thank you.
Since we all have gathered together our weak hands, and our weak bodies are all bent down before you, please command us anew. While remembering the past days when we carried the responsibility of heaven and shed blood and tears in each part of the entire country, we have realized that our whole religious group must move forward once again in the future as well, representing this people.
Therefore, please let us realize that now the time has indeed come when we must work. Please let us realize that now the time has indeed come when we must fight.
And we earnestly hope and desire that, after we offer everything to you, you will let us run out without hesitation for the sake of the liberation of this nation and this people.
We have humbly prayed all these things in the holy name of the True Parents.
Amen.
Dr. Sun Myung Moon
