We will have to come to know how precious the name of True Parents is. We must always keep in mind that they are the parent-body which can resolve your grief; they are the center for realizing the hope of humankind; we can not substitute all of history for these True Parents who are the origin of the appearance of the ideal world, and we can not substitute them even for our children.
We will have to have the thought of the True Parents in our bodies. The Will of the True Parents is to save the world. We have come to understand that the thought of the True Parents is a thought for the foundation of the future and for leaving behind a historical tradition. We are in the present in order to bear the fruit of the past; we are in the present in order to become the center of the purpose of the present; we are in the present in order to become the center of the purpose of the future. When we consider that we are standing in a holy position which is able to influence the conclusive destiny of three ages like this, we realize that so far we didn't know that humankind was like that. But now, Father, we have realized it.
Now we will have to give our entire devotion and fulfill our moral obligation as the good ancestors of millions of generations and establish a tradition which will be adequate to be respected forever and ever. When were we filial children to our parents? When did we attend our parents in spring with flowers blooming? Or when did we fight beside them together in summer, fall, or winter? When did we determine to die together with them? We want to sincerely thank you that you have granted us this time when we can share our destiny with our parents for three years even though we could not yet attend our parents in spite of the fact that we should have attended them for three years.
When our living environment becomes filled with tears and our life course can be filled with earnest tears, and we can say, "I want to live and die for millions of years attending my parents," and when in the day, I think of my parents; at night, too, I think of my parents; when lonely, too, I think of my parents, and when happy, too, I think of my parents, many peoples will be moved by that, and not just many peoples, we must realize the truth that a holy and awesome situation is present in that which will move the many human beings of the world, and we earnestly hope and desire that you will allow us to become your sons and daughters who are able to go forward powerfully, more powerfully and more powerfully. We have humbly prayed in the holy name of the True Parents. Amen.
