Beloved Father! We sincerely thank you that you have awakened us, who had not known, to how tangled the course of history is, and that you have established us in a position where we are able to seek the way of grief-filled restoration that you sought.
Now we must know clearly that you exist, and we must know clearly what the original standard was like of our ancestors before they had fallen, as you had created them. When we think about what the family, the people, the nation, and the world are like, we realize that we are placed in the realm of our enemy Satan. We know that we became children of that parent; we became part of that blood lineage, and we became the people of that nation and that world.
In this regrettable and mortifying position, it will not do unless we make a resolute decision to cut off from this world and go forth. Having done that, a standard of value just like that does not appear immediately in the good world in place of what was cut off. Therefore, we must realize that when we go out and are cut off from the evil world, at first we remain alone.
Even if we are lonely, we will have to hold on to heaven and be lonely.
Because the way our ancestors went in history was like that, please allow us to be able to solidly keep that kind of lonely position ourselves, to know clearly what the hope is that heaven desires, and to run along the way we must go.
We must restore the way where we were not able to be loyal to you as servants; we must perfect the restoration of all the things about which we could not fulfill our responsibility as adopted sons. And as sons and brides and bridegrooms, we have not yet gone to the position of parents who can inherit your love, but we must inherit it. Since we have realized that this is the way desired by your Will, that is unique, please allow us to go this way purely.
Now when we feel our bodies and seek to understand them, we must feel that our hands represent the hands of Adam and Eve whom you formed. We must realize that our hands are filled with your devotion. We must know clearly that your hope and your ideal dwell in us. We must become people who consider ourselves precious and who can know that your fingerprints of love remain in all our limbs and bodies, and all of your devotion and love are dwelling there.
Please allow us to discover that we cannot connect ourselves with evil because our value is far too precious. And while earnestly hoping that you will allow us to remain as people who belong only to heaven and who honor only heaven, we have humbly prayed in the name of the True Parents. Amen.
Dr. Sun Myung Moon
