Father, I pray that today will be a clear day with bright morning sunshine. With you, I know the sorrow of a pioneer in walking the sad course of restoration in which I shed tears, trying to forget the pain and suffering of yesterday. Who will be responsible for this world? Father, please have compassion on this people of Korea who cannot be revived unless the South and the North are united and go through the course of struggling, and unless they climb up a wall of grief from the pain inflicted from the taking of their own flesh and blood. Forty years ago, when this nation was liberated from Japan, if Christianity had been united with your son, me, in 1945, Korea could have become the leading nation in the world. I cannot forget the historical past in which I had to suffer from sorrowful tempests and snowy winds from the North, re-indemnifying 4,000 years of history. Even at the point of stimulating my mind due to the tragedy, since I can feel the misery of Heaven, I struggled in pain and You brought the foundation of today's victories, leading and guiding the course of the world. I do not know what to do in gratitude for Your heavenly fortune. Beloved Heavenly Father, please do not forget the Unification Church members, who, with hearts pierced with love for You, wish for the day when they can entirely offer you a realm of liberation for all humanity by lifting and carrying them to You, climbing up through the clouds of the grief of heaven. In order for us to bring that day, we are to carry out the responsibility of bringing the unification between South Korea and North Korea. In order to fulfill this destiny, we must continue to move forward. I reflect upon my 40 years of life that parallel the lost history of humanity, through which I have been taking busy steps in the entire world of six continents. (12/13/87) When thinking of how You, Heavenly Father, have been waiting for the day when the nation that the entire creation desires will be established, I realize that we must bring unification to South Korea and North Korea. Whenever I think of this, Father, I again realize that we should not spend our life in dozing. We should remain awake, offering all of our loyal hearts and minds in order to carry out our mission given by You, Heavenly Father. In order to do this, we need to go through a course of battles. Please guide all of us to become the people who can feel this in our hearts with more depth. (50-34) Father, who knows the situation of division between South Korea and North Korea, how pitiful are the people of South Korea and North Korea, who cannot trust anyone under these difficult circumstances! Please guide them so that they shall be able to cope with their difficult circumstances, looking at their hearts with faith in You. Please allow them to become the people who understand that the environment can be recreated as long as the center exists. I know that by having the world inherit the foundation of this victory, the liberation realm of all humankind can germinate from this point, and a new, transitional time of history that will be praised by all future generations to come is approaching. I know that all of this is from Your grace. I earnestly pray and pray that You alone will have dominion over all of this, by allowing this day to come with Your blessing, and by walking the foundation of the grief of South Korea and North Korea. Please guide us to become a group of people of the Unification family who can understand the immovable will of Heaven and Your circumstances in which You cannot always answer people's calling to You, and so must go their way solemnly, pushing themselves for this on their way. (11/8/87) A nation is divided into two: South Korea and North Korea, as the crossing point of democracy and Communism. The Republic of Korea entered a way of destiny, a way of tribulation, that it must inevitably go. Although it has been struggling in sorrow and loneliness, in the position of being struck first, it is now facing the victory of tomorrow. Please allow this people to be bold and strong. (31-183) You alone know for sure the way to lead 30 million people in South Korea and how to embrace the 50 million people of both South Korea and North Korea who stand in front of You. I earnestly pray that the victorious day of founding the nation of Heaven can come as soon as possible, by holding this people in Your hand and bringing them to Your will, through erecting the right group of people, choosing the right leadership. Father, I wish and pray that the day of unification that we have been dreaming of can arrive as soon as possible. (63-318) Father, please allow this people to see the day of victory along with the realization of Your own dream and desire, by loving, educating and guiding this peninsula that is divided into the two nations of South Korea and North Korea. Father, we know that Heaven has been working behind the scenes for the realization of Your ideal nation, knowing that the South and the North will eventually Communicate freely with each other. Please let the hearts of all leaders move Your heart during the time-period when they are working for this. By so doing, please allow countless groups of people to follow the way You want them to go, which is an unavoidable way for them to go. Please guide and protect this people and nation. (61-289) Father, please remember this pitiful people of Korea, with a history of half of 10,000 years, who have been living like orphans, who have been treated contemptuously like beggars half-clothed in hunger, but have still maintained faith in the existence of God. Whenever they were cold, with a yearning heart they prayed, OAlthough our parents are dead, God, please help us." Because you know such a relationship has been continued throughout history, You looked for this Korean people, and despite countless ordeals You still desired to bless them. However, this people betrayed you. Father, since the liberation, the Unification Church has been walking a course of numerous tribulations. It endured indescribable unfairness . Even in the place where they felt their teeth ground and muscle stretched, they came this far, thinking of God's sorrowful days. We know that we should become the kind of children whom You can be proud of for eternity. I wish and pray that You will continue to love this people and embrace them in Your bosom. Who will take the responsibility for the unification of the South and the North that are opposing each other? We know that You, Heavenly Father, are the only one who can do it. Since we know that, due to our inadequacy, we need to become a group of people who are willing to go the way of death on the cross, offering all of our hearts and minds, we realize that we should overcome the peril of this nation, patiently longing for Your bosom and waiting for the day of Your victory. Please let everyone understand this clearly in his or her heart. I sincerely wish and pray for this. (63-354)
