Please Let Us Appear As Symbols Of You, Father

Oh Father!
Please let your holy life force
become connected to our beings.
Please let your powerful presence
become one with our beings,
and please allow your mind,
which has endured in the face of your enemies,
to come into our minds.

Please allow our minds
to experience and feel keenly
your heart and your footsteps,
as you have struggled
along looking towards
the final victory
while you have been looking for
your children who were lost
because of the relationship of the fall.

We earnestly hope and desire
that you will let us long
for a position in which we are able
to appear as symbols of our father,
having become truly one with you,
a position that goes beyond
the relationship as parent and child
in which you are able to call us
your sons and daughters.

We know that you have said
that you and your children are one body,
and because you are the mind,
and we are the body,
our behavior must be linked
to your joy.
Accordingly, we earnestly hope and desire
that you will allow this
to become a place
where that can happen.

Although this land
is like pitch darkness,
when we become new people
who are able to call you "Father"
while facing you,

then, for the first time,
wouldn't this land be the place
you have been hoping for,
the garden of hope?

Isn't it your hope
to look upon such sons and daughters?

Didn't you want to embrace and love
your sons and daughters
with your entire body and mind
in that kind of land of hope,
and didn't you want to love the world like that?

We know that your mind of love
will fill the garden of our hope.

How much you must have looked forward
to people appearing
who could admire your victory,
exclaim about your grace,
and bow down respectfully to you!

And how much you must have looked forward
to having loving sons and daughters
appear whom you wanted to commend
forever and ever,
whom you wanted to praise
forever and ever,
and to whom you wanted to bequeath
everything in this entire world!
Therefore, Father, Please let us feel
your lofty, deep, and profound reason,
by embracing us with your touch
of compassionate mercy and broad heart.

Please bind us with a strong force
which nothing at all can subjugate.
We earnestly hope for and desire this.

Father, please be together with us,
for we have gone forth on this path
for the sake of becoming people
who are brave and of good courage
before the enemy,
and for the sake of establishing the idea
of the kingdom of Heaven on this earth.

We earnestly hope and desire
that you will let us possess
everything that we must possess
in order to fulfill the mission
of your sons and daughters
and the mission of pioneers.

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