Please Allow The Fallen Realm To Be Overcome By Your Heart Alone, Father

Beloved Father!
Once again we long for the day
that will realize the will
you expressed
after creating all the things
of the universe.

When we think about
the existence of our sublime,
precious Father,
we, who know
how low and inadequate humankind is.
We cannot help but pursue
all value and content
that can become one
with that lofty will.

And furthermore, when we think
that the people on this earth
are those who have fallen
from the ideal world of God,

we think that the responsibility
to take hold of oneself
and to be brought to the world of goodness
does not lie with heaven;
rather it lies with humankind itself.

Father!
We have realized on our own
that the position with which we are faced
is far too separated
from the sublime majestic position
where you stay at the center of the universe,
and from you who are the lord
of the ideal centered on love.

Therefore, we know that
in order to fill in this great distance,
a path of submission
to the reasonable course of restoration,
which is so filled with grief,
lies before us.

Our parents cannot help us
with going forward on this path,
nor can we receive help from anyone else.

Today, as we realize
that we can arrive there only
if we have earnest hearts
centered on God alone
and toiling hearts
of the original nature
which are not concerned about
life or death,
we Unification Church family members
are sensing our awesome mission
of having to expand that purpose
from our own individual selves
to the family, tribe, people,
nation and world.

When we think about the fact
that from a position
of being incomplete ourselves,
we cannot pursue
the completion of the family,
and from the position
of an incomplete family,
we cannot pursue
the completion of the nation
or the world,
we realize well
that the situation humankind
is in today is very pitiful.

We know the fact
that the realm of the fall
covers the whole
and dominates all the realms of life.

We also know that
we need our own efforts
and our own insights
that can overcome
and go beyond this.

We need a new truth
that is able to discover this,
and we need the strength
to overcome it.

But we know that such strength
does not arise from loving
for the sake of oneself,
but rather only by loving
for the sake of God.

Father!
We earnestly hope and desire
that you will allow us
to become children
who can rush towards you
from this place on our own
with minds of love
and with a life force
that is strong and of good courage.

Please remain with us forever
through love and ages of blessings.

We have prayed in the name
of the True Parents. Amen.
