Father,

We realize that this way of restoration has remained unfulfilled throughout the long course of human history. We are so sorry that our ancestors could not accomplish this mission.

Heavenly Father, we clearly know the miserable situation in which You have been suffering. Even now, we well know Your mission to restore this world back into Your bosom as Your true homeland. Heavenly Father, we know that You cannot fulfill this alone and that without man You cannot do anything. Unless we take the initiative to win this world back, offering it to You, You cannot embrace it. This is the way of restoration.

Heavenly Father, please protect Your loving members in Japan. From the depth of my heart I wish that You may guide them so that they can become the young people who can continue to the new world in which Japan shall find her future. Thank You for having protected them throughout this period of separation and once again for the blessing of being able to meet here together.

From now on, we determine to make an exquisite offering through the Japanese people. In order to become these Unification saints who can smash this world of sin with a rod of iron -- even though we may sacrifice every one of us, Heavenly Father, please give us the courage to fulfill our mission.

I sincerely pray that You will please be with us during these meetings and guide us according to Your Will. I pray all these things in the name of True Parents.

Amen.
