This could be the last opportunity in our lives, and from the viewpoint of providence, this is the final point when we must establish true faith. I think all of you are blessed members; what is the blessed families’ responsibility on the earth?
What is it? What is it that you must achieve while you are on earth? What is God’s desire?
Just yesterday I heard that 72 couples celebrated their golden wedding anniversary. Many blessed families have followed God’s will for fifty years or more, beginning with the 36 couples.
What can you say you have accomplished?
These days Father often says “Everything is completed. Now we are on the last stretch.” What do you all think? The truth is that the world is full of imperfect accomplishments when we look around us.
It is time to put things in order and tie them to one center; however, each of you thinks and acts too individually. It seems to me that you are primarily concerned with what you want to be and what you must do before you consider whether what you are doing is aligned with the center.

If that is the case, we will not be able to realize one world. You have been unable to unite centered on Heaven, and though you should live, think, act, and practice a lifestyle that helps connect everything in your lives to the center with every breath you take and with each new day, this is regrettably not yet coming to pass.
So, since Foundation Day is not far away now, what I am asking of you, is to achieve results as blessed families who live in this era and attend True Parents.
How many times True Father has emphasized that you need to carry out your responsibilities as tribal messiahs and that “You must fulfill your mission”?
Father has also permitted us the grace of ancestral liberation, through which the spiritual world and the physical world can be united. He has thus opened the path in front of us. When we consider whether you have met his expectations and achieved satisfactory results, however, we are sorry to find that you are still far from reaching the standard set by Heaven.
Henceforth, you should stop thinking only about yourselves and endeavor to become one with the providence centered on True Parents. You should create an environment extending to your surroundings that reveals what your center is. After all, isn’t it our ultimate responsibility to build the kingdom of heaven on earth in which we attend God?
This is indeed a rather difficult time for the Unification Church. Nevertheless, I am sure that you have learned what the will of God and True Parents is in the Original Substance of Divine Principle workshop you attended recently. You need to do your very best in the positions you have been given. This is the final stage. If you are standing on the edge of a cliff and your next move will determine whether you live or die, how will you act?
From this standpoint, we also need to think about this hoondokhae session.
Hoondokhae should be about how we, our surroundings, our church, and our nation can grow. There are many occasions when Father continues speaking for ten hours or more, be it night or day because occasionally, you are not in the right level of relationship with him.
He does this more often when he comes to Korea. He is surely doing so because he anguishes over you. With Foundation Day only a few months away, I hope and pray that you will do your best and become blessed families, leaders, and members who can achieve great results in front of Heaven.
True Father’s concluding words
I hope, when you leave, that you will leave everything behind and go completely cleansed, with a resolution to fulfill your responsibility as the owners of your nations with the authority of the beloved and hopeful son of God. Mother! The difficult world will soon end.
It must come to an end sometime. You should all remember that it must inevitably come to an end and that although you may hear reports and see things that touch your heart, you should fulfill your responsibilities first and wait. Do you understand? [Yes.]
Now, then, let us bring this morning’s session to a close. Have a safe trip back home.
Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon
