Father! Please let us become people who know the age. We know that it is truly difficult to know the age of the providence. We know that to know the age, will not do unless we appear as the sinner among sinners, and it will not do unless we appear as lonely people.
I know well that it is very difficult to conform to age unless we have hearts that are in the position of a lonely person, in the position of a hungry person, as a hungry baby yearning for its mother's breast.
Please let us become your children who can struggle, saying that we will now become sons and daughters of filial piety and settle the accounts of the past when we were unfilial children. We earnestly hope that you will let us know sincerely that your sons and daughters must inherit the mission of the age, which means to follow you.
It is a mission such that it will not do unless we at least determine that we will remain as people who are struggling before you and who forget ourselves while longing to become filial children, even if we cannot become filial children.
Since humankind cannot know what decides the issue of our living and dying at a certain age, we must realize that only the way of going forward with a mind that seeks to be careful always, to be humble always, and to sacrifice always will guarantee and protect us.
If one age passes by, then once again an enemy in the position of Cain denounces us and blocks our way. But when we go forward offering devotion, when we see the proven developmental course of being able to go forward taking things away after being struck, we feel that you are indeed a being to be pitied, and the people who know the age of heaven and who are shouldering the mission of heaven are indeed a group of people who are to be pitied and whom you cannot help but love.
Because you are like that, we have come to know that you always sympathize with your son, if it is a son, or your daughter, if it is a daughter, who is in that kind of position, and you seek to be together and to act together in that realm of the environment of the same destiny.
When we realize that humankind today has the responsibility to attend to ur Father who is like that, not from a position of being indebted, but rather from a position of comforting you, we must realize that we are people who have the mission of having to fulfill this kind of responsibility.
Through our becoming people who know the age and conform to the age, we earnestly hope that you will let many precious people appear from among the Unification Movement members, who are able to be remembered and whose names can be praised on this earth, by your praising us and by our many ancestors of the spirit world returning glory to us.
We request over and over again that you bless us to be able to remain a movement that heaven and earth can remember and that absolutely does not miss the age by becoming people who know the age.
We have humbly prayed all these things in the holy name of the True Parents.
Amen.
Dr. Sun Myung Moon
