Father! We know the truth that no matter how much we call out to you, if you do not call out to us we cannot have a destined relationship with you.
We must once again feel from the depths of our hearts that you have called out to us over and over again from a position of suffering, from a miserable position, with an earnest mind throughout the long course of history.
And having become beings who can adjust completely to all your commands, we must become sons and daughters who can say, "Oh Father! Do as you will!" And we must become sons and daughters who are not inadequate to inherit the spirit of our ancestors who shouldered the mission of indemnity for the historical age. In this age how much you must have longed for sons and daughters whom you could praise and boast about!
Father, you promised, blessed, and commanded internally, but our ancestors who came and went in the course of history always pounded nails into your heart, and when we realize that it was not just once or twice that they banished you to a lonely place, our having the destined relationship of being able to become your sons is a joyful thing, but about the aspect of the mission, each time we look back on the grief-tilled path of restoration walked by our ancestors, we cannot help but think that it is accompanied by many sorrowful things.
Please allow us to realize that to meet such a father, we must heal the misery of that father, or we cannot meet him, and to have a relationship with that father, we must go beyond all our worldly relationships, or we cannot have a relationship with him. When we consider who was the cause of this kind of relationship and we realize the truth that it was not because of you but it was because of our human ancestors, humankind, we realize we must become your sons and daughters who can feel ashamed.
And when we tell you that we are beings who deserve to the millions of times over, we will be able to communicate with your pitiful situation up until now, and when we stand in a position similar to yours or in a position that is even more miserable, our father who has been so sorrowful will be able to comfort us. We know that if there is such a time, it is from that point that we can form a relationship with you, Father. Please allow us to realize that a destined relationship is not realized from a position of asking things from you; rather, it is formed from a position where you can hold on to us and share your situation with us.
We have humbly prayed all these things in the holy name of the True Parents. Amen.
Dr. Sun Myung Moon
