Please Allow Us To Pursue A True Life With A Gentle, Humble Attitude

The person who lives for the world
and is raised up by the world
is not the kind of person
who insists that he is great.

We must truly understand
that it is the land of person
who should be raised up by you,
who do not reveal yourself
and who walk the path of hard work
in a lonely place.

Please let us realize
that sons and daughters
who work hard
quietly thinking of you
in order to return
that joy to you as yours
are more needed than people
who make effort to obtain
whatever kind of happiness
there may be as the pride
of this people.

Our hardworking Father!
Our lonely Father!
If we are sons and daughters
who truly know
the dramatic situation of sorrow
of our father who has endured
closing his eyes,
biting his lips
and biting his tongue,

we must truly feel that you,
who have carried
the grief of a thousand years in your heart,
cannot receive comfort
through people who seek for satisfaction
in the life of one day.

In spite of being people
who are passing through a historical age
in which we must live lives of reform,
lives of inspiration
which cannot hold back the tears
even if we have the grief of it
taking our entire lives,
before you we should,
of course, live true lives
with gentle, humble attitudes.

But on the contrary we must realize
that we are making your work harder,
and we are giving you
heavier crosses to carry,
and we have pushed you out
on a lonely path.

And not only that; we must realize
that we have been in the vanguard position
striking the people of heaven's side
as descendents who received the evil blood lineage.

We must discover that we are those
who cannot even request forgiveness from you
through anything in heaven and earth.

Then, please make us realize
that we can truly find you and relate to you
only if in lamentation and anguish
we have minds
that seek to offer to you our lives
which have caused grief
in relation to your will.

We earnestly hope that your will allow us
to feel that this is the most important event,
greater than anything else in our lives.

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