Please Let Us Open Our Hearts And Feel Your Existence

Father!
We know well that
without even knowing
the direction they must go,
many people have struggled
along the terribly anguished
course of history
in order to find you.

You appear to exist,
and then seem not to exist.

You seem to be living
together with history,
and yet, Father,
we have not been able
to have a clear understanding
that you really exist.

You seem to be together
with our minds,
but with deeply sorrowful minds,
we are looking at you
as our father
who cannot establish regulations
like a real being.

We know well that you created
the entire universe
through an idea of goodness,
and you gave humankind
a true conscience,
and you gave us
the amazing blessing
of being able to experience
that idea of goodness
through the faculties
of intellect, emotion and will.

And we also know well
that the fact cannot be denied
that the nature of your existence
comes to be felt
within the time limits
of a certain age.

Each time we long
for your internal nature
which comes to our minds,
we cannot help but be captured
by an anguish we ourselves
don't understand.

We can only lament
over our wretched appearance.

We know that you have led us
into this situation,
as a historical, heartistic action
to lead us to eternal life.

We want to know you, Father,
who behind die scenes in history
sought us through your heart and mind
in order to arrange history
into one realistic ideology.

We are eagerly looking forward
to establishing your mind
as the ideology
for our lives
and our daily lives.

But because we do not clearly know
the value of your existence,
we do not know
the value of our daily lives,

and without knowing
the value of our lives
we are faced
with the wretched situation
of having to struggle today
and tomorrow.
Therefore, please take pity
on each of us
who are wandering
on the brink of death.

Now, Father,
we know that the time has come
that it will not do
unless you stretch out
your hand of love.

That wave of love
will have to reach
the situation around us
and even into our hearts.

We know that this is the time
when we must restore
the authority of your heart,
the leading authority
you alone have.

We know that we will reach the time
when we must fight centered on mind,
so please allow us
to become people who have tolerance
and can open our closed minds.

The time has come
when we must become sons and daughters
who are ready to bend our bodies
and bow before you.

Therefore, we earnestly hope
that you will allow us
to become people
who see your outstretched hand
manifest before us
and that you will allow us
to be able to hear
the voice of our father
who is knocking
at the door of our minds.

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