Now That It Is Over, We See That Everything Was Love
I rushed forward grateful for having become like that, and now I have reached my old age and am nearly 70.
Prayers for the Heart by Reverend Sun Myung Moon
I rushed forward grateful for having become like that, and now I have reached my old age and am nearly 70.
Beloved Father! We know the regrettable fact that you were not able to able to accomplish your great work of creation on the earth.
Father! Committing historical sin, humankind has driven such nails into your heart, and has wounded your pride and your personality in ways that are unforgivable.
Beloved Father! We know that the Unification Church has remained up to this point due to your love.
Father! We have come to realize that the path you are going is a path of suffering we cannot even imagine; it is a path of humiliation; it is a path of grief-filled restoration.
I have gone forward experiencing the position of sorrow and feeling the heart with which you have faced this world of enemies.
Oh Father! Please break all the arrows of evil that have flown our way until now.
My Father! I know that you, Father I am calling out to you have been so wretched.
Even the hearts of parents of the fallen world feel more love in their minds after spurring on their children than they felt before spurring them on, and want to comfort them.
Who has understood your heart, and who has understood your situation, and who has understood your hope when you could not help but go forth enduring days of sorrow as you groped your way through the long history filled with grief?
Oh Father of great love and exceeding goodness!
Until now we thought that you were a being of joy surrounded by glory.
