Father! We hope that all the things of heaven and earth will eternally offer hymns of praise to you who are the Lord of the universe.
Since there is not even one created being that is separate from a relationship with you, because of you, all the things of heaven and earth which were molded through your heart raise your glory and reveal your holiness and profundity, and we know that they reveal your infinite value.
We know that in the midst of that when you created humankind as the center of all things, you combined your entire internal nature and entire external nature and made them as the external form of a son and the external form of a daughter to represent all things.
Originally, people were beings who should have been inside your mind and heart eternally, and they are beings who should not be able to separate from their destined relationship with you.
Amid that kind of destined relationship, all the things of creation have a reciprocal object relationship with humankind, and together centered on God they should exist in the Kingdom of Heaven where freedom, peace, and joy can dwell.
They were to enjoy being in the place of eternal victory and attend you, Father.
However, we know the fact that because of the fall of the first human ancestors, the origin of history was so miserable. We also know the awesome fact that through that result, it was not humankind alone who became miserable, but God, the Lord of creation, could not help but be placed in a miserable position as well.
Oh, Father! We have come to know that the portion of responsibility that humankind must fulfill remains to be done, and it is the very thing that can completely release all humankind who began this kind of sorrowful history.
We know that to go through the course of this portion of responsibility, many good spirits in the spirit world have hearts filled with hope as they look at this second foundation, just like the world of the good angels who cooperated at the time of the creation of Adam and Eve, and they have come fighting to represent the earth.
Until now you have been braving the current of history, and the reason for your working this hard is because of the mistake of our ancestors. But you did not let it finish as a mistake, and since you are working to restore it and to seek liberation from it, we know that it is your history of pain. Like this, we, who have the traces of sorrow inherited from our ancestors who left behind this history of sorrow, have gathered together today once again before Your Majesty.
But we are people who are not worthy to call you "Father." We know well that we are the descendants of an unworthy son.
We are people who are not able to form the destined relationship of the life of heaven, and who are not able to receive the grace of resurrection; we are rebellious, wicked, and shameless, and we definitely cannot stand in the presence of your will. But we know that you are in a position where it will not do unless even now you call us even though we are like that, because you have compassion, and you are the original being of merciful love.
Since we know that, with our unworthy minds and bodies which we cannot control we are bowing down to you with an attitude of shame. In your presence with tears of repentance, we have communicated with your heart deep in our minds; we have come forward with minds that want to call you "Father." Therefore, oh Father, please come, and through your heart of compassion, please raise us; and we earnestly hope and desire that you will allow us the special grace of being able to call you "Father" through a relationship of life with you.
We earnestly hope and desire that you will allow us to become your sons and daughters who are able to realize the fact that we will become unworthy children who of our own accord will not be able to raise our eyes in the face of your hard work, if, as we live our lives as one part of history, we do not prepare a foundation of victory resolving the sorrow of our own individual selves, no matter what our circumstances may be.
Father! We do not have anything. And we do not desire to have anything.
Until now all we have had is flesh and blood which has been defiled due to the traces we have received of the blood lineage of Satan. Because everything that belongs to us is in your realm of lamentation as belonging to Satan, none of those things can be placed before you as sacrifices.
Therefore, we cast away all these things, and we earnestly hope and desire that you will allow us to become your sons and daughters with bodies and minds, as children whom you can embrace.
Please eliminate the concepts we have had until now and everything we know. Please let our knowledge, purpose, and life become entirely for you. In that way, from that kind of position, please allow this place and this time to become one in which we can serve you as our parent with filial piety and bow down before you. We earnestly hope that you will allow this time to become one of our bowing down to you, with minds able to cut off and cast away everything we have when you give us directions.
We have humbly prayed all these things in the name of the True Parents. Amen.
Dr. Sun Myung Moon
