Father! Please Become Our Center

Please, may your deep
internal nature of love
be present
in our minds and bodies.

Since we have been embraced
in your bosom,
Father of love,
please pour out upon
your sons and daughters
the joy of love
which is hidden
in the fullness of your life.

If it seems we are not able
to experience your preciousness
and your heart, Father,
we know that we will not be able
to erase all our relationships of sin
which are not proper.

Oh Father of compassion,
now in this one moment
please allow us to be submerged
in your love alone, Father,
and please allow us
to give our full devotion
to your providence.

My Father,
we earnestly hope and desire
that you will allow us
to become loving sons and daughters
who adapt ourselves
to your having dominion,
and whose minds can experience
the original will

and can feel the original heart,
and who can more than fulfill
our entire responsibility
which has been established on the earth.

When we walked along
rugged paths until today,
when our hearts were sorrowful,
we know that you were sorrowful
before we were,

and even when we were lamenting
on our own in the pits of despair,
we know that in our stead
you were reflecting on all our sins
and you were fighting in our stead
in the instances of Satan's accusations.

We earnestly hope and desire
beloved Father,
that you will allow us
to feel in our minds and bodies
that even if we offer
our entire mind and body
as a sacrifice to you
at this time, Father,
there is no way we can repay
the grace of our Father
who has worked so hard until now.

Oh Father!
From among many people,
you have called and raised up
our unworthy selves.
How dare we present ourselves
in front of you who have called
and raised up this people,
from among the many peoples.
We have nothing to be proud of.

Now what we want
is to become people
who are able to feel anguish
together with you
when you feel anguish,
and who can feel joy
when you feel joy,
and whose minds and bodies
explode for the will
when you desire it.

Father, please protect us.
May you alone be our center,
May you alone be our Lord.

Even though we have nothing
to be proud of on the earth,
and the place we are standing
is a lonely place,
since we know that

the path we are on is rough,
Father,
please accept as and take dominion.

Even if we collapse
in the battle of the Last Days,
please be comforted through
the sound of our voice
calling, "Father."

Since we are your sons and daughters
who have received
the counsel of your love,
and have determined and pledged
to go out and fight again,

Father,
please do not turn
our minds and bodies
over to Satan.

Please embrace us
in your realm of love,

and we earnestly hope and desire
that you will hold and lead us
to the end, Father,
so that through us
you will be able to realize
the garden you desire
and bring into being the day
when all people can rejoice.

We are earnestly hoping
that you will allow us
to remain as centers
who can be proud
in relation to your will,
and who can become like light
in relation to your will
when we offer everything we have now.

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