Please let us sense in our minds and bodies that having to make us hear and having to make us see is more sorrowful for you than for us, more heartbreaking for you than for us, and more frustrating for you than for us.

Please grant us the strength to be able to fight together with you until we make that garden of hope our own.

Father! We know well that without even knowing the direction they must go, many people have struggled along the terribly anguished course of history in order to find You...

This time now is like the time when the Israelite people were in confusion 2,000 years ago, the time when the Messiah had to come...

We know that if Your mind and Adam's mind had become one, and Your will and Adam's will had become one, today's anguished history with the two worlds fighting would not have happened...

We know that because humankind is living buried in sin, it is easy for us to consider everything centered on ourselves, and it is easy for us to establish wills which are not the Will and to follow them as if they were the Will...

If it were not for You, Father, we could not be comforted...

Please, may Your deep internal nature of love be present in our minds and bodies...

Oh Father! Please don't leave us only to ourselves...

Oh Father of compassion! We earnestly hope and desire that You will bear with our situation of not being able to think of the authority, honor or situation of our Father who has such an aching heart, but rather we are living by receiving the power of Your compassion...
