However difficult the path you have told us to go may be, we pledge that we will not stop our footsteps which are following you. Even if on this path the persecution we receive crosses the path of death, since we have already offered ourselves as living sacrifices, please allow us to just disappear obediently as sacrifices. We know that in the midst of this world of death you desire to establish a foundation of life which can form a relationship in your embrace. We will absolutely establish that foundation of life.
Father! We long for you with an inexhaustible longing. We want to live with you forever and ever. We want to consult with you, and live according to your directions. This is our hope. Since the day humankind fell, we have lived without every being embraced by your love for a single day.
We know that until now humankind has continuously gone though a miserable history of tears day by day going over peak after peak of sorrow. Please allow us to become true sons and daughters who cling to you, Father, who have sought us with a heart seeking to restore the standard of hope by seeking once again this kind of history, and we earnestly hope for and desire that you allow us to be able to share your joys and sorrows.
Oh Father! Please look at this place with eyes of fire and do not allow any bitter roots of sin or death to remain deep in our hearts. Please look at us with eyes of fire and please allow us at this time today to pull out all the roots of sin and be unified before you. Since we have bowed down humbly before you, please act upon us. We earnestly desire this.
Representing the multitudes of peoples, this people must receive love, and for the many tribes we will have to completely fulfill the mission you have given. We must become a movement which can stand in the place of the final glory singing a victory song to you, our Father, and we must become brave people who can remain through the final battle while carrying out the responsibility you have given us. Therefore please work with us, Father, take dominion over us, give us directions, and lead us. We have humbly prayed all these things in the name of the True Parents. Amen.
