Father! This nation is divided into north and south. It is the confrontation point of democracy and communism. Therefore, please guide the path of destiny that Korea must absolutely go. We have started along the path of suffering which we must go carrying the cross of your blood.
We are standing in the position to be struck first, and even though we are struggling and our hearts are filled with sorrow and loneliness, we are holding before us the victory of tomorrow. Oh, Father, because of that, please allow these people to be strong and of good courage.
We know that this is a tense moment that does not permit anything like despair or hopelessness, even for a moment. Right before our eyes, we see that it is that kind of point in time externally throughout the nation and also internally centered on the will of the church. Since we cannot go into the Kingdom of Heaven if we do not completely fulfill the mission of the Abel nation, oh Father, please protect us.
The time has come that our people's righteous spirits must cast off the fallen world and reveal themselves with hearts of loyalty to the nation and the peoplewhoh have been buried in your breast. But when I ask how many sons there are who have inherited your heart and are loyal to the nation and the people, I feel that 1 must repent while weeping in front of you, Father. Oh, Father, please forgive us.
When I look at the group that has followed my footsteps along so many bloodcurdling paths as I took the lead to relieve the grief of these people, I see so many who would cause you worry, Father. And I realize that there are not many who can take responsibility for your worries. When I look at these kinds of people, I feel that in the future where I must go, there are still more paths to the cross before me.
Father! Since there remain paths of the cross that must be gone, in the course after this we will have to clear the path of the battle in place of the people and we will have to clear the path of destiny which we must go with strong footsteps.
Our people are divided into north and south and with that division of the people,e there is the grief of the relationships of sorrowful hearts which we cannot avoid having. Please let us understand that we are responsible for relieving that grief and for calling together the North and the South. Please guide us to fulfill that responsibility.
We pray all these things in the name of the True Parents. Amen.
