Please Bear With Our Mistakes Of The Past

Father!
Because we know
that you did not cast away
fallen humankind,
and we know the results
of your hard work for 6,000 years
in order to reach and reestablish us
and we know your heart of compassion,

we have come before you
with a mind to bow down before you.

We know
that you have an eager heart
which could not help
but wander and search for us,
a mind that could not
just throw us away,

and we have come
before you today like this
calling you "Father."
Please bear with us.

We are inadequate
in view of your heart
of longing for
eternal sons and daughters
with whom your heart
can communicate.

Please remember that our minds
are longing for you alone.

We earnestly hope and desire,
Father,
that you will see
and consider compassionately
that in our minds our earnest,
original hearts want to relate
to your internal nature.

Oh, Father!
This position where we have
to long for the world
of your holy original creation
has become a position of sorrow.

And furthermore,
we cannot help but think
it is extremely deplorable
that we are in a position
where we cannot help
but report truthfully
that we are so inadequate
that we cannot appear before you.

Now, when we consider
all the traces
in the background of history,
we understand that we were
substantial beings of sorrow,

and pitiful beings
who did whatever we pleased
in front of you, Father.

We cannot help but feel pain
in our hearts
that we were not able
to appear at some point
as object partners of glory
before your heart,
or to become the descendents
of our ancestors
who could praise your glory, Father,
representing the entire universe.

Please bear
with the sins of our ancestors,
and please bear
with the pitiful situation
of humankind today,
and we earnestly hope and desire
that you will bear
with the fact that people
do not know they have the mission
to prepare the foundation
for the eternal welfare
of their descendents.

You have worked hard until now,
Father.
Now through the Principle
we have come to know
that our father
is a sorrowful father,
our will
is a sorrowful will,
our history
is a history of suffering unjustly,
and our lives
are lives invaded by Satan.

Thus, we cannot raise
our heads before you, Father,
when we think
that we are still struggling
in the midst of an environment
filled with grief.

Satan still has power on this earth;
an unrighteous environment
remains on the earth,
and the dominion of evil
is dominating the cosmos.
At this time
when we are watching this reality
which is
demanding the sorrow of heaven,
please especially have compassion
for us who are in the position
where we who are seeking heaven,

we who are praising your desire
and calling your name,
have experienced our inadequacy
and cannot help
but appeal to you, Father.

If it were not for your power
and your protection, Father,
we would not be able
to remain here substantially
on this evil earth today.

We are the inadequate people
who would not be able
to have anything remain in front
of the will of the providence.

In view of the fact
that we who are like this
have come before you,
and we are those who know
our reality as it is,
please augment
your heart of compassion
one more time and remember us.

Please call us
to task for our lack of faith,
and counsel us
to be able to relate
to the path of loyalty
and filial piety.

Please supplement our inadequacies,
and we earnestly hope and desire
that you will increase our power
to be able to come close to completeness.

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