Beloved Father! Young boys and girls have gathered in this place. Their longing for this place was not in order to stay here like this today, but in order to find their true selves for tomorrow. They have come here in order to go on the holy path where they can fulfill their duties of filial piety and loyalty to you in their three ages, the age of true youth, the age of true maturity, and the age of true elderliness.
We know the truth that there was sorrow of heaven was filled with tears for the long period of 6,000 years in order to restore one person. In order to connect to the beginning point of the victory of the greatest goodness, we quietly offer our entire lives to you, Father, and we will have to be able to sacrifice ourselves fighting today and tomorrow. We earnestly hope and pray that you will allow the young people gathered here to become those who are able to volunteer and go forward on this kind of path.
In the world, the older generation and the younger generation are arguing, but we know that in the younger generation there are true young people and false young people. We know that today the false young people are recklessly violating the most precious thing, but the true young people are saving to the utmost and protecting to the utmost this most precious thing in the world. We earnestly hope and desire that you will allow them to realize at this time that that thing is chastity centered on obedience.
Through hearts which are rising up in young minds overturning together with you, Father, each one will have to be able to determine deep in his mind to become a person who will fight and remain until that point where we can have a relationship of victory. Therefore we earnestly hope that you will cause each one to make that kind of determination
When we think that all the things yearned for in the evil world are not things which lead us to the gates of happiness, rather they drive us into the snares of death and the traps of death, it will not do unless the young individuals gathered here become true young people who determine to be true individuals who will not change and no matter where they go in society will not be stained or influenced. When we realize that if they do not become true young people, they will not be able to become true youth or true middle-aged people, we earnestly hope and desire that you will not allow us to be inadequate in offering and returning ourselves nicely to you receiving gratefully the blessed gift of this age and this season. We have humbly prayed in the name of the True Parents. Amen.
