We are praying earnestly to you, Father. First, we know that our minds and bodies must become sacrifices like the gold, frankincense, and myrrh given by the wise men from the East.
We know that it will not do unless we make sacrifices. Please allow us to offer our minds and bodies. Beloved Father, we earnestly hope and desire that you will not allow us to become abominations before the altar.
The more that we understand what you have chosen as your purpose of goodness and righteousness, and the more we think about your having once again sought out our unworthy selves, we cannot help but be contrite about our insufficiency about you. We have let go of all our rituals, concepts, and insistence on ideology, and since we have bowed down before you, Father, please help us.
Father! Please take responsibility for everything. Please receive our minds and bodies completely and take dominion over them, and please allow us to become people who can embrace the history of six thousand years and comfort your anguished heart. Beloved Father, we earnestly hope and desire that we will be able to unite, and as a unified sacrifice be able to bow before you in joy together with the many saints, and that you, the living God, will take dominion over the entirety of our minds and bodies.
Father! Please take pity on these people. We know that you have toiled through the long course of history to be able to love these people.
We know that when you chose us, in order to reveal your will you had toiled in ways known to none.
We know that the enmity of these people has penetrated heaven, and we know that the enmity of all humankind on the earth has also penetrated heaven. Since we know that heaven is lamenting because there is no one to become a sacrifice representing the anguish of heaven and earth, please allow us to become sons and daughters who entreat you to resolve in your stead the enmity penetrating the entire universe today. We earnestly hope and desire, Father, that you will allow us to become sons and daughters who will come forward and fight Satan in your stead.
Please allow us to be able to sing your blessings unified around your one will by bringing our minds and bodies into harmony. And we earnestly hope and desire that you will allow us to be able to bow before you in gratitude for your blessing of liberation.
We have humbly prayed in the name of the Lord. Amen.
Dr. Sun Myung Moon
