Father! Having written Christian history over thousands of years, you have related to history on the solid foundation of your unchanging innermost heart. We know well that the historical story of your having carried out the providence until now is a story of your having shortened the complicated stages of the sinful elements along that course by having paid indemnity.
We have come to fathom that it is the way of your Will that for thousands of years good people have been sacrificed to prepare the beginning about which you can say, "This is it," at a starting point that resulted from that shortened history. Along that way, many people shed blood, but we know that no person shed blood while standing in the position you truly wanted. Because that was your grief, Father, to resolve that decisive starting point you sent Jesus, but we know that even Jesus died with the sorrow of not having been able to find that starting point centered on the earth and the spirit world.
Then the history of toil of our Father, who carried out the providence even by having extended history, went forward having fallen to being a miserable path with the added burden of the cross. We know that then, to resolve that in the historical Last Days, once again you prepared this kind of awesome starting point by establishing the Unification Family.
But we must know clearly that this starting point definitely is not realized from a reckless position. We must realize that it is accomplished only if we have unchanging content following certain sound, fundamental rules.
When we think about what you will request of us at this point, we come to think that it is not the widening of a foundation of external power; rather, it is the building up of one individual, one family, and one tribe which have been transformed by the Principle on a solid foundation. We must realize the truth that that movement is more precious than anything else.
When we think of things like this, if we reflect once again on how important we have considered a view of life that is in accord with the Principle up until now, we cannot help but realize that we are people who have been disloyal to you, Father.
When we think that until now we have gone forward from a position of each of us going our oays, leaving the Principle as the Principle and our daily lives as our daily lives, please allow each one of us to admit once again that we have not been loyal or filial to you, our Father, who has worked so hard for each of us.
Please pardon the sorrow of the past when we could not have sovereignty where we could become one with you from a position of the Principle and our daily lives have become one. Furthermore, please demolish our selves which are facing such a present situation. Then we earnestly hope and desire that you will once again let us realize that it will not do unless we become people who have principled characters, who are confident that you can dwell at a starting point, at the same time that we can represent you eternally.
We have humbly prayed all these things in the name of the True Parents. Amen.
Dr. Sun Myung Moon
