Father! We must become your true seeds and grow into true trees and put forth flowers and bear fruit and appear as hundreds of fruits which can be embraced in your bosom. Therefore, please sow us as true seeds greeting a spring day, and let us grow as true trees and allow us to become comforts to you. And furthermore, there in the fragrance of the flowers please realize your desire of having a banquet of joy in the last days bearing fruit and filling all nations.
Father! Please let us love you sincerely. We know that our lack of filial piety towards you until now is because we have grown up in an evil environment.
Father! We know the law of putting down roots in true fertile soil as one seed and centered on the roots the sprout will come up and grow into a tree in the midst of an environment filled with hope centered on your public love, and we also will have to consider as important this environment needed by the new sprouts.
Father! Please arrange their youth in proper beauty. And please protect their path of relationship with you, and let them be able to grow centered on the foundation of that environment. Please let them become true shoots, and in relation to this people, this nation, this world, please let them become a new tree of life which all humankind can look up to and which can embrace all of humankind. And we earnestly hope and desire that you will allow us to become sons and daughters who can blossom as new flowers and bear fruit which can be spread to all nations with more to spare.
In order to do that we will have to be strong. Oh Father, please allow this nation centered on your open love to be able to be so eternally united that no kind of strength can break it apart. Please allow it to burn with conviction which cannot be changed by any kind of adverse circumstances.
In order to endure these kinds of trials we will have to absorb sufficient nutrition. Please guide us to become sons and daughters who have the life power which can remove all the essential conditions of evil which are left in this people. We have humbly prayed all these things in the name of the True Parents. Amen.
