Please Form A Relationship With Us Through Original Love 

Father! Please allow Your love to dwell in the hearts of everyone, and please allow us to appear in heaven and earth as eternal true people through love. We know the fact that You are hoping for all of creation to move centered on such a being; and we know that You will become one with that true human being and build a world of glory, a world of a brilliant culture. But we know that Your love not having been able to dwell in us is Your grief, and furthermore, our not having been able to find and meet Your love is grief.

We are those who have gone through the course of history carrying the sorrow of not being able to find a relationship with Your true love even though we looked for it, because we were born as descendents of the fall. Therefore, oh Father of compassion, we earnestly hope and desire that You will come to us with Your original heart of love, and You will allow us to become children who are able to bow deeply in the presence of Your heart.

For thousands of years, humankind has been born as the descendents of those who betrayed You, and we have lived as people who betrayed Your heart. Father, please bear with us.

Since we have bowed down before Your majesty as beings who are like that, please take hold of us through Your compassion and love and comfort us with Your caress of mercy. We earnestly hope and desire that You will allow this time to become one where we tell You in detail about and repent for our inadequacies of the past, our disloyalty of the past, and our lack of filial piety of the past.

You are our father whom we must attend for eternity. Please let us realize clearly that the relationship between You and us is an original relationship which cannot be broken. It is to our great anguish that we fell and lost our father, and our eternal destined relationship with You was cut off.

Today we have bowed down before You in order to find again our father whom we lost and to reestablish with You that destined relationship which was cut off. But since we know that without Your love this cannot happen, please allow us the grace of resurrection through Your love. Please tie us together through the destined relationship of Your direct love, and please allow us to be able to offer ourselves to You as one unified altar.

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