True Mother Re-Dedicates the Pusan Church
True Mother Dedicates Pusan Church.
TRUE MOTHER/TRUE PARENTS SPEAK BUSAN DISTRICT FAMILY CHURCH MAY 21
(unofficial transcript)
Prayer:
Loving Heavenly
Parent!
We are grateful to You for allowing this moment.
When this nation was
experiencing its most difficult times, Father came here to Busan
as a refugee with a big dream for the providence. Here, He wrote the Original
Divine Principle and founded the Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of
Christianity, which would unite the future world.
Sixty years have
passed since then, and we are grateful and humbled that we can dedicate this
holy place here in the Busan District.
We also cannot help
but feel sorry. However, Father, we will fulfill Your
dream---True Parents' dream---without fail and establish the Fatherland that
humankind dreams of, where they can claim it to be "My homeland where God
dwells with us." Please believe in us.
We pray that the dream
of True Parents sixty years ago can be established in this place. I know that
many miraculous events will take place. We offer this holy place to You,
Father, and thankfully offer this in True Parents' Names, Aju.

TRUE MOTHER/TRUE
PARENTS SPEAK:
Today I would like to
speak about:
"The
truth of history seen through Heaven's providence."
We all know we are not
living in a peaceful world. The world we live in is a fallen world. The
omnipotent and omniscient God is a being that cannot fail. Once something is
started, He must see it to the end. That is why we had to go through the
unexpected long history of the providence of indemnity.
Once again, Heaven had
to select the chosen people who would give birth to the only Daughter of God.
Heaven selected the Republic of Korea as the chosen people! (applause)
The people of Korea
have not once invaded another nation in the past two thousand years. They are a
good people, a peace-loving people. They were a good people who worshiped
heaven, and loved nature.
However, the only
Daughter of God, Who must be born in the end, must come from within
Christianity. After the monarchy ended, Korea was divided into north and south.
When South Korea had not yet become a democracy, North Korea, under the Kim Il Sung regime, was planning to invade.
At that time Heaven
had to give birth to the only Daughter of God on the foundation of
Christianity. Though the history of Christianity in Korea was short, there had
been holy groups.
Christians throughout
the world thought that Jesus, who said he would return, would do so on the
clouds. Yet, this holy group believed the returning messiah must return in the
flesh. They clearly understood that the realization of the providence would
occur in Pyongyang. I was born the only Daughter of God under these
circumstances. (loud, long applause)
From birth, I was born
as God's Daughter. Satan tried to kill Me when I was
born. He said, "Because You were born, I am
ruined." It was a spiritual battle but this is the truth. The world had no
choice but to change because of My birth.
At that time, Father
was in the South, but Heaven told Him to go to the North. Why did this happen?
Father had to fulfill His responsibility as the One who had succeeded Jesus.
Just as Heaven gave
Adam and Eve responsibility, the only Son of God, Who once again shoulders that
responsibility, must fulfill it.
In addition, Heaven
had prepared the North. That was where the only Daughter of God had been born.
How must God have felt
ordering Father to go to the North? It would be putting Father's Life on the
line. Heaven could not allow human beings to be the cause of failure again
before the only Daughter of God (Whom Heaven had given birth to after six
thousand years) and the only Son of God (Who had waited for the only Daughter
of God) became the True Parents.
Therefore, Heaven
mobilized the UN Forces, and young people from sixteen nations shed blood. At
that time, because of the UN Forces, Father came South
and here in Busan He mapped out the future, wrote the
original Divine Principle and established the Holy Spirit Association of World
Christianity, which would embrace the world. It especially needed to spread
God's Will centered on Christianity.
The place where
preparations began for the True Parents---Who would save the world through the
Holy Spirit, truth, and the word---was here, in Busan.
(applause)
However, because a
foundation had not been prepared, it is true that we had to begin from the
lowest position, the most humble and poorest position.
If
we knew True Parents as the True Parents... Whether we knew it or not, we had been unfilial.
In 1960, True Parents
manifested through True Parents' Holy Wedding. (extra
applause)
From that day, the
rest of the world would have the future opportunity to meet True Parents. God
wished it, True Parents wished it. Humankind, all 7.4 billion people, wished
it. (extra applause)
During the dedication
I prayed, "The course to embrace God's great Will and realize His wish
began so long ago, sixty years ago. If you think of sixty, you think of 60th
birthday festival [a major celebration for Korean]. Yet, many more than sixty
years have passed.
Here in Busan, where God's work began, sadly, it has taken so long
for us to dedicate this church to You, something we
could show the world. We apologize (Kamsahamnida).
(Sorry Chesonghamnida)
However, now we will
fulfill our responsibilities as Blessed families, so please wait just a little
longer." It was with this heart that I dedicated this church. (loud applause)
In line with the
Principle, True Parents' providence should have begun on a national foundation.
In the past and nowadays, due to human ignorance, to awaken and educate people
and for them to understand and be able to fulfill their responsibilities takes
so long.
Nevertheless, True
Parents made a realm of victory. That is why we will no longer wait. While True
Parents are here on earth, you have to fulfill your responsibilities. How much
of an honor would it be to receive the title, filial son, filial daughter, or
filial subject? One human family under God, our Creator, the
Heavenly Parent.
Through You, those in the past, present and future will realize the
kingdom of heaven on earth and in heaven and will receive heaven's blessings
forever. (appplause)
Then you must do your
best. Don't you agree? Your names must be recorded while I am still alive.
No matter how filial
you wish to be, if your parents are not alive, you cannot fill that position.
So, the fact that I am alive is a blessing to you.
This nation must
become God's blessed homeland. It must become a land that attends God.
Korea and Japan must
shed their past hateful relationship. Korea and Japan must unite to realize the
future world of one human family. They must become the father nation and mother
nation.
One hundred years ago,
when Korea was under Japanese rule, Tagore, a poet from India, came to Japan
and wrote a poem as he looked out toward Korea:
"Korea ... that
lamp is waiting to be lighted once again for the illumination of the
East."
The light is the
truth. It is the message of truth. This means through that True Parents and
True Parents' Message, Asia will see the light and will illuminate the world. (big applause)
This is happening
right now. In Asia, more than ten thousand young people say they will go out to
the world as missionaries. Already, six hundred young people have made that
decision. This is the same in Japan.
Sixty years ago, True
Father looked out to the sea and dreamed of the day when Heaven's Will would
come into realization, the day when all people of the world would line up and
flock ceaselessly to the original holy land in the original homeland by both
boat and plane. I will realize that dream! (big
standing applause)
