Beloved Father! Today, February 5, 1976, January 6 by the lunar calendar, is the fifty-sixth birthday of this son of yours, and the thirty-third birthday of your beloved daughter.
Our family, which made a new beginning on earth in 1960 in the name of the True Parents, first thank you that you have let us celebrate this birthday today in the historical year 1976, having welcomed the day of victory, having followed the administration of the Will you desired in the period of 16 years which have passed since we were established in the center of your Will.
Please enjoy this situation and this ceremony. We know that it is grievous that the many human beings living on this earth are not able to celebrate the day that the True Parents were born. We know that it is grievous that the many spirit people who are in the spirit world also are not able to celebrate the day that the True Parents were born.
This day today is a day of parents through which a connection between heaven and earth is made, more so than on the days on which many people were born, and more than on any day in history. When we think about the fact that this is a day in which we are celebrating and commemorating that the parents were born, we know that this is a place that heaven and earth know and are bending down to watch; it is a day representing the new historical transitional period in which the spirit world and the physical world become one.
Father! In view of how very much you must have looked forward to this ceremony, please celebrate this day joyfully. Please bless the many good spirit people who are in the spirit world centered on your name. Please bless their many descendants who were born on the earth, having inherited their achievements.
At this time, please let them resolve the grief of their not having been able to commemorate personally on this earth, the day that True Parents were born. Even though all their descendants born on this earth do not know the day True Parents were born, please give them the grace of being able to celebrate this day together on this earth, on a foundation centered on their ancestors, and centered on God.
This is a new historical time in your Will in which you have wanted to complete the ideal of creation that you desired, centered on humankind and the entire spirit world amid the love of the True Parents, and centered the True Parents amid your love. As we think of that, we ask you to please rejoice, Father. We earnestly request that you will allow the entire spirit world to rejoice, and that glory to reach even the earthly world, and the heart of each person to be moved and to be happy.
Please bless your children who have gathered here. Please establish this joy of celebrating the day the True Parents were born in a place where we have become one, representing all the nations, representing all the people, and representing the entire cosmos, as a condition of indemnity for the grief of the people on the earth who do not know the Will and all the spirits in the spirit world.
Now please extend your authority as the subject partner so that they may be governed within the realm of the name of the True Parents. We earnestly hope and desire, Father, that you will transform this age into an age in which we can work with the authority of the eldest son by having the descendants of evil parents become restored before the descendants of the good parents by Cain and Abel being switched directly.
Today, here on this day, born with the name of the True Parent, with your permission, I proclaim that all the spirits in the spirit world and all their descendants on the earth shall become one.
Therefore, we earnestly hope and desire that by calling together enemies, and by the divided tribes and nations becoming one, you will take direct dominion of them spiritually and physically so that they will be able to advance and march forward to the world of unification, following the destined relationship of the one family as a whole, following the destined relationship of the family of the True Parents, following the destined relationship of the love of the True Parents who represent God.
Please realize everything according to your Will, and we earnestly request that you let this become a day we can commemorate while receiving your blessings amid glory, and in the midst of your personally and the whole cosmos rejoicing over this day. We earnestly hope and desire that you will add millions of times of blessings to all the people who are admiring and praying for this day.
While thanking you for allowing us to welcome this day in joy in your name, we have prayed all these things in the name of the True Parents.
Amen.
Dr. Sun Myung Moon
