Please Grant Us Your Love And The Grace Of Your Compassion

Oh Father of compassion!
We earnestly hope and desire
that you will bear
with our situation
of not being able
to think of the authority,
honor or situation of our Father
who has such an aching heart,

but rather we are living
by receiving the power
of your compassion.

Since we, who are here
on this dark earth of death,
know that without grace
and the power of life,
we would never be able
to offer the glory of victory to you,

oh Father, please allow us
your promised grace.
We earnestly hope and desire
that as you turn out the providence,
you will reveal your entire will
and that you will reveal it to us.

Inadequate as we are,
how dare we show ourselves
before you?
How could we raise our heads
before heaven?

Even if we died
a hundred million times,
we are beings who deserve it.
We are held prisoner
by the chains of sin,
and we are people
who deserve to go through
the suffering of the judgment.

Therefore, we hope
for your merciful love
and hope for your grace,
and since we have prostrated ourselves
before you with minds
that report truthfully on their own,
we have laid out before you
everything that we have.

Please allow us to do away
with anything that is not proper,
and to maintain the mentality
you grant us,

and we earnestly hope and desire,
beloved Father,
that you will guide us
to be able to appeal to heaven
for your mighty grace.

Father!
Please take pity on us.

In order to find and go this way
which others deny,
we remember times
that filled our minds with sorrow,

and we know that there were times
filled with worries and trials;

accordingly, Father,
even if this is a position
that others deny,
may the grace of your recognition
alone pour down on us.

Beloved Father,
we earnestly hope and desire
that you alone will embrace us,
that you alone will comfort us,
and that you alone will counsel us.

Among ignorant humankind
if there is a person
who can understand
the anguish of heaven,

oh Father,
even if he were struck
with the distress of anguish
a hundred million times,
we know that he would be
victorious without fail.

Please let us
be sons and daughters
who experience your anguish
through our minds and bodies,

and please let us experience
the concern your heart felt
when dealing with the earth,
and we earnestly hope and desire
that you will establish us
as sons and daughters
who can fulfill our duties.

Father!
Please do not let us remain,
in our ignorance,
in a position
that can lead to ruin.

Father,
we earnestly hope and desire
that you will give us
the grace of being able
to wait impatiently
for your love and compassion alone
and being able to eliminate
the stronghold of evil
by exploding it ourselves.

We earnestly ask
that you will allow our minds and bodies
to be captured by the grace of your love
and the will you have bid us.
We have humbly prayed
in the name of the Lord. Amen.
