Father! We know that to move eternal life, life must be moved by life, and love must be moved by love. Therefore, Father, you who are the subject of life, please appear as life, and you who are the subject of love, please appear as love.
We are suffering the drying up of life, and we are suffering the drying up of love.
And while that is happening, we are at a poverty-stricken point in all doctrinal aspects, and we are so inadequate that we cannot even protect our lives for one day. Betraying heaven and earth we are holding in our hearts the resentment of the fall which lost your ideology and this day, too, we bow before you in sorrow, Father.
Please embrace our pitiful appearances, Father. If you say you do not know us, who would take responsibility for us? And if you do not hold on to us, who would hold on to us? As we have no leader before us and no teacher before us, we earnestly hope and desire that only you, Father, will be together with us.
When we come to realize that you work so hard to comfort our hearts each time we stiffer a difficult experience or have a sorrowful experience, we cannot help but report to you that we are ashamed before you. We are sorry, Father, that you have shed tears watching us go along the path of persecution as we follow the way where you told us, "Go."
Responding to your call when you tell us, "Come," we follow in your footsteps.
Since we have even determined to go the way of death, Father, when the path of death appears, please don't let us retreat before it, afraid of the line of death.
Even if we run into the pain of our bodies being ripped apart or our hearts being torn to shreds, as long as your sighs remain, your desire remains, and your love remains, we earnestly hope that you will let us become heaven's true sons and daughters, heavens true brave hearts who can overcome all things.
We have prayed these things in the name of the Lord.
Dr. Sun Myung Moon
