Please Let Us Long For The Original World

Oh Father!
We know that if there were people
who had true minds,
then there wouldn't be anyone
who did not long for the original world;
and if there were people
living who had true bodies,
then there wouldn't be anyone
who did not long for life in the original world.

As for the way the original Adam and Eve
looked when they could relate directly to you
before the fall,
heaven appeared, the earth appeared,
and after all the things of creation appeared,
after Adam and Eve had been created
as human beings for the first time,
how happy you must have been over how they looked!
How precious our ancestors must have appeared
since they had been placed in a position of glory
where they could relate to you.

Now please let this time become one
in which we are able to admire
the original world through our minds.
We have come to intensely long
for hearts of goodness
which are able to make your heart respond, Father,
and we have come to intensely long
for the look of goodness of the original homeland
where we can hold your hand.
Therefore, we earnestly hope and desire
that you will allow us to become people
who are able to long for the ancestors
of the original nature.

If we know while living on the earth
that in the world of heart
there are no historical distances,
and there are no limits of time and space,
even though we are groping around
having lost our way and are asleep
in the realm of death now,
please allow us
to long for the way our original ancestor
looked who was born
through the heart of infinite love,
and to long for the way
our original selves look.

Please allow us to become people
who are longing to find our father
who created us like that,
and to become people
who shed tears dispiritedly
longing to look like that,
and we earnestly hope and desire, my Father,
that you will allow our minds and bodies
to experience and feel keenly
in this moment beauty itself
which is able to harmonize together
with the atmosphere of that world,
the circumstances of that world,
all the things of that world,
and all things in the universe,
even if we look shabby.

Father!
We call out to you,
and we have been happy to call out
to our Father who has worked so hard
along the historical course of the Fall,
but we did not know how to even imagine
our original father rejoicing
in the garden of goodness
without the sorrow of the Fall,
and there was not even a time
when we wandered searching for that father.

And in relation to believing in the true savior,
we human beings have known only the Jesus
who hung on the cross;
please pardon the fact
that we have not been able to believe in Jesus
who could have appeared as the Lord of glory
and not gone through the suffering of the cross,
and not been persecuted or in pain.

Father!
Today please allow our minds
to overflow with longing
for the world of harmony
where we can live together
with our original selves,
centered on the original ideal
and the original goodness.

Our Father, we earnestly hope and desire
that you will please allow us
a place of joy where we can call out
to you through our original hearts.

Please let us come to understand
the innermost heart of Moses
who wanted to lead the multitudes
of the 600,000 Israelites
who were suffering in Egypt,
and please allow us to realize the fact
that Moses related to the people
with a grieving heart.
Today the Christians of the world
must inherit the blessing
of the second Israel
which is spread throughout the world.

We have the responsibility of announcing
that the blessed land of Canaan
which they are looking for still remains.
Since we know that the responsibility
to fulfill this mission belongs to us today,
oh Father, please allow the indignation,
exasperation, and mortification which remain
to penetrate deep into our flesh and bones.

We earnestly hope, Father,
that you will allow us
to become your sons and daughters
who have the fidelity of heaven
and who will finally take vengeance
upon your enemies
even if our minds and bodies
collapse and die a hundred times.
As we receive the command you have given
and go forth, we have come to realize
that the course of the cross remains.

Since these are your lonely sons and daughters
who have gone forth of their own will
on this difficult path,
please be a friend of their minds.

We know the fact
that when you become our center
forever and ever,
our minds and bodies take your example,
and as unchanging central beings
we will he able to represent you.
Therefore, now please once again
personally take our minds and bodies as your own.
We have humbly prayed all these things
in the name of the Lord. Amen.
