Please Let Us Long to Have the Destined Relationship of Father and Son With You

When we saw our parents, they were our entire hope, the symbol of our longing, and they were the origin of our happiness. Our parents were the motive, were the process, and were the result.

When we think about the destined relationship of parents and children, the motive is the father, the process is the father, and the result is the father too. We must know that the heart of our father, who is able to embrace us, is in the holy position where the destined relationship of harmony together with our father is formed, We want to see our father; we hope for our father; we long for our father's Will; and we regard our father as the source of love. And we must know how much You desired sons and daughters who nestled deep into Your heart while longing for Your embrace, and who looked inexpressibly happy relating to You.

We must realize that the position that forms the destined relationship of father and son which You have been seeking, Father, is the place where we are able to see the future through the children, and the children receive totally the food of life of the mother and the father, and inherit the position of hope and the position of the mind of the mother and the father by being held in the embrace of the father, and by being held in the embrace of the mother. We must seek after that holy position.

While sincerely calling out to our father, we hold on to our father we have longed for, and putting our cheek against his cheek, we repent, as our father's tears and our tears become one. Who could block our footsteps of sacrifice, while we appeal for the sake of finding the one world? Since we know that it is a principle of the original Creation that Satan, too, must submit to this and Satan, too, must participate in this position, please allow us to become sons who are able to do that, and daughters who are able to do that. 

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