We Thank You That We Were Born In This New Historical Age

Father! Please let us become object partners with whom You can share Your absolute content. We earnestly hope and desire, Father, that You will let us become Your children who are struggling to become those kinds of people.

The world of hope of tomorrow is approaching us. We must know that this nation of tomorrow is coming to us as a nation that can be boasted about throughout all of history, a nation that will do things no advanced nation can do. And we must know the fact that the people of this nation are a people who are determining to be victorious in front of all nations, and all people, while holding up a banner of the liberation of the world. Please let us know that it is the Unification Movement that is demanding and presenting that day by longing for that day of liberation. When we feel that, in the midst of that, we are the responsible people, we must offer thanks to the entire universe that we were born with that kind of responsibility which comes only once in the entire history of Humankind. And we must offer thanks that we have the destined relationship of parents.

We must offer thanks that we were born in an age when we can bequeath a new standard of value, even though we were a group that did not know the path we had to go. We must understand this awesome mission of having to become beings of Your character and central beings of harmony.

We must understand the fact that if we stand in the position of becoming people of character who are able to do That, and of becoming substantial beings of love who are able to do that, then Your Will becomes my will, and my will becomes Your Will.

We must understand the awesome truth that in the day that You and we become one like that and have a destined relationship internally and externally, the power that can bring the liberation of the entire universe is realized. And we earnestly hope and desire that You will allow us to know that the historical and universal mission is on our shoulders, and that You will allow us to be people who are able to march forward powerfully.

Earnestly asking that You will allow us to fulfill the duty of loyalty and to fulfill the duty of filial piety in relation to You by becoming central beings of harmony as we go this path, we have humbly prayed all these things in the name of the True Parents.

Amen.
