Please Allow Us To Become Children Longing For Our Real Father

At this time an inadequate group of small numbers has gathered before You. Our minds and bodies have good conditions for harmonizing with the world, but we have bowed down before You as those who cannot help but stand far away from You in our relationship. Therefore, Father, please separate us. We earnestly hope and desire that if our wounds are severe, You will please let Your compassion reach those wounds, and when You see that we cannot appear before You as we should, please comfort us. 

Please allow us to have minds able to feel sorry and lament over the fact that we are imperfect beings who are ashamed before You and have nothing to offer You. Deep in our hearts, please allow minds that adore You to blossom. Please allow us to hear Your voice as it called out in the original Garden of Eden, and to feel Your holiness which our ancestors could not feel.

Please allow us to become Your simple and pure children who can penetrate to Your heart of longing and love which desires to embrace us in the midst of Your mind. We earnestly hope that You will feel the unbreakable blood relationship we have with You and will desire so much to see us that You will not be able to help embracing us and will not be able to help coming to us.

Father! When we called You "Father," we were not able to do so with a voice that flowed out of a sincere mind which penetrated even our flesh and bones. We have not been able to have a time when we could rush to You and cling to You from a position of oneness with that kind of emotion. Since we have not been able to know You clearly in that way, please allow us to be able to perceive You clearly. Please allow us to become those who struggle with deeply moved minds to grasp Your outstretched hand and the train of Your garment and never let go. We earnestly hope and desire that You will allow us to call You "Father" in that kind of position and to become able to cling to You and confide in You there.

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