When we think that you have been together with us with love, pity, compassion and forgiveness along the course we are going, we are truly grateful. Father, your children who are gathered in this place are people who are conscious of the fact that they are carrying on their two shoulders the heavy, important mission that will decide the destiny of unification.
Father, please consider as holy these people who want to offer themselves to you as offerings as true, substantial beings by having realized sincerely the course of truth which has never existed in history.
We know that the position where one has gone forth to take responsibility for the people, the position where one has gone forth to take responsibility for the lives of the people, and the position where one has gone forth to take responsibility for the many lives in the place where one is, is the position of an offering which must form a relationship with you alone.
We know well that it will not do unless this becomes a life course which we live while having a mind with all kinds of loyalty, and unless we give you all kinds of devotion with minds which hope to offer ourselves as perfect offerings to you, who are an almighty and omniscient being and a perfect being, by our realizing what kind of value we have when we can be offered to you genuinely.
We must realize that we are going this way in order to give blessings more than we are going this way in order to receive blessings. We must realize that we are carrying a responsibility such that it will not do unless the people become happy through us more than our going forward for the sake of a position where we are happy through the people.
We must know that this is not a way we are going for the sake of our own improvement; rather, it is for the sake of the improvement of the whole.
Each time that we stand in a position of being disappointed or being lonely while going this way on our own, we must clearly realize that we are people who are able to be offered represent the lonely people, lonely humankind, and lonely heaven.
Therefore, we must necessarily be lonely, we must necessarily be solitary, and we must necessarily go the way of sacrifice.
We do not value living better than other people, or being in an environment that is more free than anyone else's. We must come to know that when, standing in a sacrificial position representing the whole, we are miserable of our own accord, we are mistreated of our own accord, and we suffer of our own accord, it is a position in which many peoples and heaven itself are not destroyed at the same time that we are not destroyed.
Please let us know if there is something to beg you; the thing that we beg you must not be something limited to our own individual selves; rather, it must be a prayer for the sake of the realm of the offerings that are able to be offered to you by representing the whole. And then please allow us to clearly realize that when we stand in a position where through our individual selves, our family, and through our family, our church becomes a sacrifice for the whole, at that point a new way can be opened for the people, and a new light of the world can appear, and a new beginning can be made which can liberate your grief-filled historical course.
We have prayed all these things in the name of the '[cue Parents. Amen.
