Glory

Oh, all the human beings living in this world.

How many have felt glory?

If one asks what glory means; I wonder what one would answer, he who says he has felt it.

Those who have filled their stomachs and heads; those who carry swords and big wallets.

We now know the unnaturalness and heaviness of existing for thousands of years.

Oh, those of you who have made demands for your “good lineage”; full of judgment and greed.

Yes, see if you can experience glory; try living well for yourselves.

Regardless, those who have gladly endured suffering and sacrifice; that is enduring glory.

Is there anything harder than living for others?

It is hard enough to live for one other person.

But, to live for humanity; even this imperfect world would recognize you.

Oh, Father of love, of love; who breathed persecution and ridicule, to assuage Your anger.

Chased around East, West, South and North; by spiteful people with power.

He harvested the seeds He sowed, in the crevices, and planted words of love in the world.

His life is my shortcut to glory;

the shortcut for my future glory;

experience glory upon history;

experience glory upon heaven;

experience glory upon your tribe;

experience glory upon our True Parents.

(Translation Catherine Simpson)
