2) Prayer that Goes One Step Ahead

What does the Unification Church teach? It teaches the duty of parents. It is fundamentally different from the past teachings of Christianity. Christianity teaches the duty of a son, but what does the Unification Church teach? [The duty of parents.] That is the difference. Who is higher: a son or parents? The parents are higher. Therefore, in the Unification Church we do not pray in the name of Jesus but pray in the name of True Parents. We are going one step ahead.

If the Trinity exists as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, then you should pray in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Why do you pray in the name of Jesus? Why do you pray in the name of one person only? If you say "parents," then all will be included.

Why don't you pray in the name of parents but disappoint by praying in the name of one person only? If you give rice-cake to a man only, because you like men more than women, would a woman feel good? You say the Holy Spirit is a person of the Trinity. Then why do you always exclude the Holy Spirit and say, "I pray in the name of Jesus"?

In your home, do you like your father but think your mother an insignificant person? Do you celebrate father's birthday magnificently yet do not even remember the birthday of mother? Such things can be known by even those who do not believe that the relationship between the parents are the works of heaven and earth.

Everything is reciprocal. Everything forms harmony when coming together. Eyes, nose, ears, and lips, all form harmony by coming together. Likewise, only when father and mother come together they can embrace everything in the world. One alone cannot do it.

You cannot survive if you only inhale. Of course inhaling is necessary, but exhaling is just as important. Because we survive by the intake of oxygen, do you think only inhaling is necessary? Please try only inhaling three times. Then you will need to exhale more than inhale. Only by sending the carbon dioxide out through exhaling, can much oxygen come in. You cannot only have men. These days, the world puts men first. Therefore, we must do the fundamental women's liberation movement. From the Principle's perspective, a man should obey a woman for 3 years. Restoration must go through the proper way. Since Adam and Eve fell down together due to the Fall, they must climb up together. Climbing up is like re-creation. When God created, He created Adam first and then created Eve. Therefore, in re-creation, God creates Adam first and then makes Eve.

Fallen history has fundamentally been the history of re-creation. In saving fallen human beings, two cannot be saved at one time. Then who is the coming Savior? He is the one who comes to this earth as a man who perfected the purpose of his creation, in order to reclaim the right of cosmic inheritance. It is simple. The Savior is the one who comes as a person of noble character, representing the position of unmarried Adam in the Garden of Eden. However, the Savior who comes in place of unmarried Adam in the Garden of Eden has to marry. Therefore, the primary thing he should do after coming is finding a woman to be True Mother. (21-194)
