Please Let Us Reflect On The Shameful Past As We Welcome The Day Of All Things

Father! We find ourselves reflecting once again on that time when we had to decide the destined relationship of indemnity, whether we would go to the right or go to the left at the crossroads in the battle, which no one could know, centered on the 1960s, until the time when the Day of All Things was established.

At that time, the place where the blessing was given and at that time, the place where destined relationships were formed was an anxious place, and it was a deep valley among deep valleys. It was a place that beloved parents opposed; brothers and sisters opposed, and relatives who had destined relationships of love opposed.

Standing in a valley, where we had lost everything like this, we attended you, and we possessed a value that we had found instead, and in the midst of hope, centered on you, the history of the families of the Unification Church began.

Following that destined relationship, Parents' Day, Children's Day, and The Day of All Things were established. The day that was established on the foundation of these days is God's Day. Even though this God's Day should have become The Day of All Things right away, should have become Children's Day, and should have become Parent's Day, we have come to realize the fact that we possess these days of glory which should have been realized in one day by having patched them together piece by piece over time.

Please let us become people who are able to pledge, while gritting our teeth and biting our tongues, that, even if other people do not have filial piety, I alone will fulfill filial piety, and who can sympathize with your pitiable mind while kneeling down and shedding tears each time this day comes.

We earnestly hope and desire that you will let us become your sons and daughters who realize the truth that there is an original meaning why we are commemorating this day on which many people are making this kind of pledge each time this day comes.

Today please do not let your sons and daughters who are gathered in this place know The Day of All Things only by its literal meaning. Please let us realize that the things of creation are not the problem, the person, whom the things of creation can follow, is the problem, and whether that person can follow you is the problem.

Please let us realize that the things of creation want to be taken care of and governed by a true person who can do that. Please let us become your sons and daughters who love the world and who love all the things of creation.

Earnestly requesting that you will please let us become your sons and daughters who can be more deeply aware than anyone else of the value of the things of creation, and who can care for the things of creation, we have humbly prayed all these things in the holy name of the True Parents. Amen.
