Please Allow Our Minds To Long For Our Original Home

We did not know
that a historical end
was calling to us from afar,
and we did not know
that you had set us up high
and were urging us along
the path we have to go.

Father!
Each time we went in ignorance
onto a side path,
you guided us back
to the path ahead.
We feel once again
how very much you have toiled,
guiding us until this point
at the end of history today.

Oh Father!
Where do our minds
want to dwell?
And where do our bodies
want to dwell?

Since we have come to understand
that the place
where our minds and bodies
should dwell is at the center
of your original, deep love, Father,

please encourage your children
who have not been able
to arrive at that point.

Without your love, Father,
we cannot rest,
and without your love,
we cannot feel your heart.

Therefore, please
let the waves of your love
flow down into our lacking minds,
and bring about in us
the blessing of rebirth.

We must long for that position
until our eyes grow cold,
and we must yearn for that position
until our minds ache with the yearning.

And furthermore,
in order to find that position,
we will have to go
through miserable struggles,

and even if we are destroyed
and collapse a thousand,
ten thousand times,
and experience the anguish
of the vanquished,
we know that it is our duty
that we must rise up again
and go forward fighting.

Therefore, our Father,
please personally direct
our minds and bodies,
and please do not allow us
to become the vanquished
in this battle.

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