Please Let Us Realize The Precious Value Of Families Where The Love Of Heaven Is Putting Forth Shoots

Father!
We started out with bare hands,
but now we are in a position
where we envy nothing.

We do not need money;
we do not need power, either;
and we do not need any kind of worldly culture.

More than those things,
what we need and are thirsting for
are the love of God,
the love of parents,
the love of couples
and the love of children.

We are seeking after
families centered on our Heavenly Father
in the original homeland
that we have longed for
and about which
heaven and earth can rejoice.

Father,
in this whole world,
could there be anything with more value
than this kind of family?
Even if there were a mountain
of precious treasures such as gold,
what could be more valuable
than the destined relationship
of a family centered on the parents' love,
the destined relationship
of brothers and sisters
centered on the parents?

Since we know
that this is what you have been seeking, Father,
we earnestly hope and desire
that you will allow us
to clearly know that we are Unificationists
in order to become leaders
who are able to connect our motives
in order to be able to build history,
having enjoyed ourselves here
and determined ourselves here
in order to leave behind infinite value.

Father!
In the long course of history,
sorrowful tears have been shed.

We know that in every circumstance
where men and women have met,
sorrowful situations grazed them,
and the critical paths of history
evoked the lamentations of heaven.

Therefore, we earnestly hope and desire
that today you will allow us
to become a beachhead like iron and stone
which is able to defend against the enemy
and resolve your grief,
by men and women becoming true couples
and establishing families.

From that kind of position
we must find ourselves,
find families, find tribes, find peoples,
find nations, and run towards the world
of which we are newly aware.
Therefore, please do not allow us to be lacking.

We have humbly prayed all these things
in the holy name of the True Parents. Amen.
