1) Pray in the Name of True Parents

The Unification Church does not pray in the name of Jesus. The person who recently joined would think, "What is True Parents? Why pray in the name of True Parents?" Do you know the meaning of True Parents? True Parents are ancestors who did not suffer the Fall in the Garden of Eden and of whom we can be proud for eternity in the midst of God's glory. Because the first ancestors of humanity fell, there had to be new ancestors, and because God also works his providence centering on the new ancestors, we pray in the name of these new ancestors. It is very logical. In other words, since Jesus is the spiritual father and the Holy Spirit is the spiritual mother, fallen humankind cannot go to the Kingdom of Heaven without going through the relationship of such parents. (20-269)

What was the greatest desire of Jesus? What must he have had before having a nation? What must he have had before having a child? He had to welcome his wife first. However, because Jesus was not able to do so, he could not witness as a parent. He could not make people his own sons and daughters. Since he came with the qualification, he should have become a father. Therefore, in the Unification Church, when we pray we say, "We pray in the name of True Parents." We are different from the conventional churches. We do not like to pray in the name of the single Jesus, the bridegroom without a bride.

Therefore, don't you think that we have wonderful prayer in the Unification Church? We pray in the name of True Parents. That means we are praying in the name of True Emperor and Empress. When you say teacher, do you like a teacher couple or a single one? What do you like? [We like a couple.] Therefore, if there is a man there should be a woman, and if there is an woman there should be a man. Was man born worrying about whether there would be a woman or not? Think about it. When he was born, was he concerned greatly? No. It was assumed. You hadn't even dreamt about these things and came to know them. It is an amazing thing. You should know this. (41-230)

When you pray, you pray in the name of True Parents. What is True Love or True Parents? Do not think of that word being just about Father and Mother. Think about standard of True Parents from the standpoint of the father and mother who can love all humanity and embrace the world transcending national feelings. Therefore, even Father prays in the name of True Parents. (33-143)

Wouldn't you like if you can go to heaven whenever you wish? Wouldn't you like to enter and come out freely? Why do you pray? When you pray, why do you pray in the name of True Parents? You do not have the right to pray! However, you pray in such a manner, don't you? That is because there was victory over the sinful world, the satanic world. (150-54)

In the Unification Church we do not pray in the name of Jesus. We do not pray in such a manner. We go in search of parents. We seek parents who are True Parents. We have to fix up everything. Since all has to be fixed, you should put straight the cornerstone. If the hurricane blows from this direction you may survive, but if it blows from that direction then everything will be destroyed. Do you understand? Those who believe in Jesus, do you understand? You should understand. (48-228)

The time now is not the time for "I pray in the name of Jesus." That time has passed. Now is not the era of name salvation. It is the era of substantial salvation. Now most Christians pray in the name of Jesus. However, Father does not pray in that way. We need Jesus, not his name. Even though the word "Father" has ten million, the substantial being is only one. Isn't it so? Therefore, should we go to the heavenly land riding on a substantial being or riding on a name only?
