Hope: Please Establish Us As Your Eternal Substantial Object Partners, Page 54

Please Establish Us As Your Eternal Substantial Object Partners 

Father! You must become the Lord of this heaven and earth which have no Lord. And You must become the center which is able to direct and take responsibility for the destiny which this nation must go through from now on. You must also become the center of the hope of our families and each individual. We must clearly know that what the world needs, the nation needs, the family needs and the individuals need is You, our father, who is the Lord who created all of heaven and earth.

We know that You are a being of infinite might, and You are an almighty being who is not limited by anything of the world of time and space. We know that there is nothing that was not created by You, and You are the subject partner who provides the content of the causes of everything. We know that everything that exists does so according to its destined relationship with You. We know that there is nothing, among the things that exist, that does not have a purpose as an object partner in relation to You who are the subject partner. We also know that we must be individuals, families, nations, and the world that stand in that kind of position.

When the sun shines, from that light, the life of all the beings spring forth, and when we see them seeking to unite together with that, with even the micro-organisms facing one center, when we see that kind of phenomena happening, in that kind of position, we too, must attend You, as the subject partner of our lives, as our father who brightens the direction of the path we must go, and we must become one body with You and become one with You.

First, with You as the subject partner we must establish ourselves as eternal, substantial object partners, and we must become one unified being which cannot be divided. We know that that is the hope of our individual lives, and it is the final destination of the path we must go. We know that in order to search for that kind of day, history has been mobilized, and in order to establish that kind of being, each individual's daily life and the course of each individual's lifetime were established.

Father! Our small group has come before Your majesty. Since You are the subject partner, we must become the object partners. Since You are the Lord, we must become followers who receive the commands of the Lord. Since You are the father, we must become the children. Because You are the source of all life and leading power, we know that only the paths that connect with You are courses of life that are rewarding for us, and please allow us to be able to go that path.

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