Please Let Us Harmonize And Become One "Through Our Hearts"

Father!
Since we who adore you
have gathered together
on our unworthy bended knees
and we are looking forward
to being able to meet you,
attend you,
and discuss together with you,
please do not leave us alone.

Oh Father!
Please harmonize together with our minds,
and please form a destined relationship
together with our bodies.

Please do not let the flow of your earnest heart
remain as yours alone.
Please let this become a time
in which that flow of life itself
which exists is able
to penetrate deep into our minds.

Please allow us to become people
who are able to be submerged in longing for you,
and who are able
to be held in the embrace of love
of our infinite father,
while looking up at the majesty
of our father
who is directing billions of saints.

Please let this become a time
in which we are able to call out
to our father with minds and bodies
that bow our heads of our own will,
and in which we are able
to thank heaven
that we are in this warm home of nature.

Father!
We know that before being the father
who called us,
worried about us,
and sought us,
along the course of the battle,
you are the father
who, in the midst of silence
from a place deep in your heart,
could not help but feel
even when you did not want to,
and could not help but think,
even when you did not want to.

And we know that within our lifetimes,
we must absolutely form
a destined relationship
in which you are able to call us
your children, and we are able
to call you our father.

Have we ever discussed something with you
even once in private?
Has there ever been a day when,
intoxicated with your glory
and your gentle voice,
we didn't know whether we were
in our bodies or outside of our bodies,
and we bowed our heads
and bowed down to you?

We have come to know
that in the course of faith
we definitely need to have
those kinds of moments.
And we have come to know
that in order to bless us
with those kinds of moments,
you have toiled until today.
Therefore, please allow this
to become a time
in which our minds and bodies
are able to enjoy
attending our original father,
are able to enjoy
attending our father of the original nature,
and are able to enjoy
attending our father of the true nature.

You are not a father who relates to us
having set up certain conditions;
rather, you are a father
who flows together
according to the flow of your mind,
and who moves together
according to the movement of your mind.
Therefore, we know
that the hope and the ideal
we must have while living on this earth
are only harmonizing
with the original feeling,
and the original emotion
while we have our lives.

We have come to know
that you are our father,
who is working so hard
in order to show results
while directing everything
from a place that cannot be seen;
our father, who exists
but seems not to be there;

our father who has dominion over our minds
but seems not to have any relationship with us;
our father who governs the infinite world.

Since we long to be people
of the original nature
who are able to harmonize, to be still,
and to move with the movement
within that governed realm,
within that realm of dominion,
oh, Father, please do not leave us alone.

If there are people
with the doors of their hearts closed,
please open those doors,
and if there are people
who are suffering physically or heartistically
through being enslaved by shadows of death
please take pity on them as well.

Father, please do not leave us alone,
and if there are no minds
that sincerely long for our father
who truly exists,
please allow us to realize on our own
that we are shameful people before you,
who are our father who truly exists,
who are our father of heaven.

Today, even though each of our minds is different,
even though each of our situations is different,
even though each of the environments we are facing,
our internal customs, and the concepts,
ideologies, and viewpoints
we have in our innermost hearts are different,

in the world of the original heart,
the minds that want to harmonize are the same,
and evil people and good people can harmonize there.
Therefore, we earnestly hope and desire
that you will lead us to he able
to do that at this time.

Earnestly hoping and desiring
that this will become a time of grace
in which we are able to mold ourselves anew
through the word,
and we are able to attend you, Father,
by having found our original hearts
through selfless hearts
that have confessed everything to you.
Father, we have humbly prayed all these things
in the name of the Lord. Amen.
