Jesus had many prayer vigils, and other people who worked for Heaven also prayed hard in order to fulfill their great missions. Without a life of prayer they could not have reached their level. You may not know when your prayers for God's Will will be realized. Neither do you know whether or not your prayers will be answered. Still, you should have the patience to wait. (104-111)

Even Jesus did many prayer vigils. So, did he do many fasting prayers alone in the lonely place... I am still leading such a life of prayer even though I am living with Mother. Otherwise, I always would feel as if being crushed. (94-157)

After becoming a standard-bearer, if you shout out with all of your energy, the time when we are living is such that your shouting will be heard not only on earth but also in Heaven. In this sense, certainly, our time is better than that of Jesus. Jesus prayed all night at the Garden of Gethsemane, but no answer was given to his three prayers. There was no response not only from his people but also from Judaism. However, our time is different. We are living in the age in which responses can be given not only in the nation but also in the world if only we pray desperately at the risk of our lives. We are living in such a time.

Therefore, if we stay up all night and pray, we should do it for our church members. If you do it for yourself, you will become like Peter. Did Jesus not have a prayer vigil for the sake of the nation and the world? Even at the time when he was facing death, he did not worry for his own life but for his disciples and the people of Israel. That is why God could have compassion for him, and he could be resurrected from death. This you must understand. Now is such time.

Now is the time when we, the Unification Church members, should do a prayer vigil as Jesus did in the Garden of Gethsemane, but it should not be done for ourselves, but for our people and all humankind. The group of people who shed tears and do a prayer vigil for this will not perish. The people who are determined to go a path of death together will not perish. That turning point will be the final judgment that promises a resurrection. It will not be a way of obliteration. Although it may appear to be, it will be rather a chance to stimulate a resurrection that can endow a power for life. (60-30)
