Today we have gathered once more at your knees, Father, but we are worried that we might not be able to offer glory to you, our anguished Father. We are worried that absurd charges might appear in front of the Will that you desire. Oh Father, if we are not suitable, let us go of our own will to a low place, and please let us at least have hearts that sincerely desire your pity.
If you don't care for us, Father, then how could we see your glory on this earth? If we cannot become those who can remain in your heart, how can we ... see the will of the garden you allowed? Oh, Father! Please let us become a group that can remain in your mind, a group that can be transformed in your heart, a group that can live together with you. From the very beginning we have yearned for that, and watching that Will, we have gone forward.
Please let this be a time when we question whether we, who have pledged before you, who have determined ourselves before you, wor hether we have become those who can obey your commands.
The last days are approaching, and we know that you must be lamenting that there is no group that will take responsibility for you. We have found you and have seen your glory, and we fancy ourselves to be your sons.
We know that you are lamenting because you see no group appearing that can take responsibility for any one area of your will that remains, of the providence you permit, or your course of struggle. Oh, Father, at this time please let us once again be able to shed tears of bitter repentance and raise un altar of redemption before you.
We know about the people of Israel who collapsed in the wilderness while they resented you and their minds wished for rest during the course in the wilderness.
Today for us to not become like that we are now attending you and seeking to take your hand, so, beloved Father, we earnestly hope and desire that you will lead us to become a group that participates in your glory.
At this time when you are searching for your sons and daughters who will work for the earth, please do not let us be people who remain clinging to ourselves when facing you, Father. We feel our inadequacies; we are so inadequate that we dare not appear before your altar, Father. But please let us become your sons and daughters who can keep to the very end, even to death, the path of Golgotha for the sake of this Will. And we earnestly hope that you will let us be a group that remains to the end.
We have offered all these things in the name of the Lord. Amen.
Dr. Sun Myung Moon
