Please Realize A Family That Can Become The Beginning Of' The Kingdom Of Heaven

Father!
Through our feelings in our daily lives,
we know that even in the world, too,
if one seeks to love centered on oneself,
one ends up as a lonely person.

But we can see
that if a person seeks to love others
and endlessly presents
content of worldwide value
for the sake of others,
even if that person wants to stand alone
in a lonely position,
the environment does not let him stand
in a lonely position.

Father!
We have realized
that we must become the true men,
and we must become the true women
you are seeking.

And we have also realized the truth
that the family is the place
where the beginning of love,
which can bring such men and women
into oneness, can come into being.

The path of finding the Principle
is the pursuit of the realm
of the original four position foundation
in which the parents are above and are attended,
and the children are below
and are led in that family.

When we think about that,
we realize at this time
that we must criticize ourselves,
knowing how far we are from that position.

We have realized that
as for the absolute realm of relative beings,
which can become one together with God,
through that position,
which also establishes the worldwide
horizontal national viewpoint
and the world viewpoint,

the beginning of the Kingdom of Heaven
starts from a family
in which a man and a woman
become one centered on heaven.

When we think that the value of character
is decided in that position as well,
we will have to think
centered on that position.

When we come to be in that position,
we realize the fact
that the Kingdom of Heaven
exists in our individual minds
testifying to the words Jesus spoke,
"The kingdom of God is in the midst of you."

If the children
who have come to this place today
call heaven "Father"
while having the name of "children,"
and they have minds
that recognize the earth as their noble mother,
Father,
please let them realize clearly
that they must now fulfill
the duties that go with being children.

Please let us know
that we must long for our heavenly parent,
and we must long
for the value of heavenly couples
and the value of heavenly children,

and we must ardently feel
that the grace of allowing
the descendants of fallen humankind
to be able to inherit today
that kind of position of value
is a destined relationship
to be so appreciated
that there is nothing
with which we can repay it.

Father!
From this time on,
we entrust all our actions to you.
We feel anew that the beginning
of the Kingdom of Heaven
and our standard of value
must become one.

We know that everyone here
must already know that,
centered on the family,
we must now establish
new destined relationships
of the three great loves,
and that from a position
of being able to apply that
as a daily motivation in all our lives,
we must become a movement
that goes forth pursuing one world.

Therefore, we ask over and over again
that you will please be together
with our determination,
through your infinite love and grace.
We have humbly prayed all these things
in the name of the True Parents. Amen.
