Please Allow Us To Make A New Beginning In The Midst Of This New Shock

Father!
We have realized
that when we are trying
to think of a new work,
we are not able
to even think about it
in the places
where we have been doing things
until now.

We have realized
that until we stop
the flow of history
and take a moment
when we can think,
we cannot awaken ourselves
even though we want to.

We know that we cannot be aroused
from this sleeping appearance
without receiving new stimulation.

Therefore, Father,
please continuously shock us anew
so that we may be able to put aside
the historical relationships we have.

We know that we will not be able
to be awakened
if we do not have stimulated minds;
therefore, please allow us
to become beings
who find such minds
and know how to respect them.

In each age
you sent a responsible person
who could awaken us, Father.

You looked upon fallen humankind,
and since you held on
with your sorrowful heart
and let them live and go,
Noah lived and went that way,
and Moses, too,
and Jesus also did that.

Oh Father!
Please give us the shock
of a new feeling
at the bottom of our hearts.

Please let us go beyond ourselves
and experience your sorrow,
and please give us minds
that can be concerned
for the people who are being swept
into the world of death.

If there is a person
with this kind of mind,
he is a person who can obtain
the liberation of the people.

And furthermore,
if there is a person who has a mind
that is clinging to the world
and worrying about it,
he is a person who will obtain
the grace of worldwide liberation.

And furthermore,
if there is a person
who knows how to be worried
about cosmic liberation,
he will not be ruined
together with history.
We know that he is a person
who will leave a new history
to the world.

Therefore, today
please do not let us become people
who reveal our feelings
and cling to ourselves and cry.

We earnestly hope and desire, Father,
that you will allow us
to become people
who represent your earnest heart
as you look at us,
Father,
and please let us go towards the good
for which the whole is hoping.

Please let us feel
in your stead the mind
that was anxious
that we might not follow
and that humankind might fall.

Please let us follow your example
and let us know how to look
at the people and look at the world,
worried that
those who are following might fall,
and worried that
those who have fallen
might collapse and die.

If there were sons and daughters
who could look at you and say,
"Father: I am here,
and I have taken responsibility
for your heart, so please rest,"

we know that kind of scene
would mean that history is going
in a new direction.

Please let us become those people
who know how to go forward
having made all sorts of preparations
to be able to begin in a new direction,
and please let those of us
who should begin in that direction,
who must awaken make a new decision
and determination
and pledge in our minds
according to the appearance
of the historical screams
of misfortune.

We earnestly ask you
to let us become those who know
how to be awake as heaven is awake,
and sorrowful or joyful
together with the moral laws of heaven
and with history.

We have humbly prayed
in the name of the Lord. Amen.
