Beloved Father! We have understood what kind of world you desire. We have understood how the love that you want must go. We have come to understand what the present world we are facing today is like. We have understood that we are human beings who cannot live for ourselves; we have understood that we are Unification Church members whose families cannot live for our families alone; and we have understood that we people of the Unification Church of the world cannot live for the Unification Church of each nation of the world.
We have understood the awesome fact that it will not do unless we live entirely for one world, entirely for one Kingdom of Heaven. Therefore, we will have to be able to change the order of our consciousness to God's consciousness by transcending the people, transcending the nation, and transcending the world. We have understood that at the same time the discovery that we can do that ourselves is a great discovery, it is also the foundation for being endowed with the qualification of being a great son.
We have understood that the God who oversees the entire heaven and earth is a father about our very family, a father about the nation, a father about the world, and a father about the heavens. We have understood that while going through the historical ages representing the position of that father, parents of the family were needed, a king of the nation was needed, and saints of the world were needed. We know that it is because of that people have sought the way, of the truth.
Since we have truly come to know that, we will have to form a parent-child relationship as though it were a formal standard now, and you and we will have to live together in our families, Father. We will have to live centered on the nation.
We will have to live centered on the world.
We can have the authority of father and son only if we find the joy of really being able to live together with the whole spirit world, and we have come to know that we will not be able to resolve the fallen realm if we cannot have the authority of father and son.
Because of that, we know that we need a realm of victory that can expand the authority of the father and the son from the individual, to the family, the people, the nation, and throughout the world. Therefore, Father, please bless us. We have now understood that there is nothing more precious than having God as our father, and once again we pledge of our own accord today at this time before you, Father, that we will become your sons and daughters in every way. Therefore, we earnestly hope that you will please allow this.
We have humbly prayed all these things in the name of the True Parents. Amen.
Dr. Sun Myung Moon
