Offer Our Resolve to Successfully Dedicate Cheon Won Gung

Isn’t it a beautiful day? Do you now have a sense of what this sanctum will look like?

This is a historic day not only in history but also in the course of Heaven’s providence in which the temple where our Heavenly Parent can be attended on earth has been established.

As we think about the effort invested, the pain, and the waiting that Heavenly Parent endured throughout the past 6,000 years, a period marked with indescribable emotions of joy and sorrow, the appearance of True Parents after 6,000 years among humankind, on the Korean Peninsula, is a day of blessing, gratitude, congratulations, and celebration, as people from all nations, including Korea, can now become Heavenly Parent’s children through True Parents.

The Advent of True Parents occurred on the 16^th day of the 3^rd month [by the lunar calendar] in 1960. For God, however, sending the True Parents was very painful as it was like leaving His children on the bank of a river, where they might fall in, and He could not take his eyes off them for even a moment.

True Parents have spent the last sixty years in such an environment. As a result, I am deeply sorry and apologetic to Heavenly Parent. Considering that Heavenly Parent had worked for thousands of years to embrace humanity as His children, the sixty years spent in such an unsupported environment may seem a long time, but from the perspective of His providence, it may also be considered short.

However, the human body has limitations, and since the long-awaited dream of our Heavenly Parent can only be realized through True Parents, I apologize to Heaven that it has taken so long.

Now just one year remains. You who are gathered here are the leaders and senior members of the Unification Church. You must properly understand the truth about Heaven’s providence.

Therefore, through a two-day workshop for all of you [leaders], there is content you must understand and thus be able to take responsibility for, and everything about True Parents’ advent can be settled from the standpoint that we must welcome May 5, 2023, a time of a new beginning.

Because of the coronavirus pandemic, it has been more than two years since you were able to come to your home country [Korea], hasn’t it? You have missed Korea and wanted to see me very much, haven’t you? Please see me a lot!

I’ll say a few words at the luncheon later. Our lives on earth must be free of shadows. Everything that could cast a shadow must be thrown out. Our appearance when we ascend to heaven must be clearer than that of a crystal. Perhaps some of our members have experienced this.

If there are any shadows in the sixty-year history of the Unification Church, we need to eradicate them and move on. As for the dates, the workshop will be from the 19 to 20 at the Cheonshim Cheonbo Training Center.

I hope that you will put everything aside and be newly reborn as individuals, families, and churches.

From here in the shade, I am gazing upon you sitting in the sunlight, and you look even more beautiful than daffodils!
