Father! You sent Jesus Christ to the earth as the Lord of dominion over the eternal ideal and as the Lord of dominion of eternal goodness in order to narrow the distance that had become greater between us because of the fall of our human ancestors. Please pardon humankind who could not attend Jesus as the Lord who came as the substantiation representing you.
We know that it is because of the inadequacies of our ancestors that Jesus caused anguish, and we have come to know that Jesus' anguish still remains because we are inadequate today. Therefore, please allow us to become able to fulfill your hope that we will appear respectable before all the things of creation by inheriting the precious work of the good shepherd.
And please allow us to be able to realize the hope of Jesus, and please allow us to be able to appear with your life and your love and Jesus' life and Jesus'
love. We have come to realize that if we do not become like that, in the future in the world of humankind, we will be unable eternally to resolve the anguished situation of Jesus Christ who came as the good shepherd.
Therefore, by opening the doors of our hearts, please guide us to be able to hear the voice of the good shepherd who is calling to us. Now that we know the anguishing situation of our Father, and know your lonely situation, and know the situation of our Father who has worked so hard, we are deeply ashamed of ourselves. Oh Father, please guide us not to become supplicating, wretched people who place all our sorrows, loneliness, toils, and suffering on Jesus.
Now that we know all the secrets of Satan, your inner situation, and the inner heart of Jesus, we earnestly hope and desire, Father, that you will give us the strength to take responsibility for your situation, to take responsibility for the sorrow, loneliness, suffering, and restrictions of Jesus, and to be able to fight with the billions of satans.
Father! Please let us be able to gaze upon Jesus who is working, filled with sadness, and who is worrying about our situation, and please allow us to realize that even today Jesus feels the pain of hanging on the cross due to our heartbreaking situation.
We do not know that when we are in anguish while relating to heaven, sorrowful, and lonely while relating to heaven, to comfort us, Jesus comes to feel greater loneliness, greater sorrow, and greater suffering. Now, even if our suffering is greater than the suffering of Jesus, our sorrow is greater than the sorrow of Jesus, and our difficulties are greater than the difficulties of Jesus, please help us to become true sons and daughters who can be concerned and to beg to take away the sorrow of Jesus.
And we earnestly hope and desire that you will allow us to become able to follow behind the good shepherd and to comfort the fervent heart of the good shepherd. We earnestly hope that you will let us become people who take on the mission of Jesus in his stead and who can contend with and fight steadily against Satan, even though the invisible Satan creates distress and fear while attacking us directly in our lives, and we earnestly hope that you will establish us anew as sons and daughters who can inherit the life of Jesus.
We have prayed all these things in the name of the lord. Amen.
