Mrs. McDevitt read Father's speech from Sermons of the Rev. Moon #43, titled "Attitude of the Believers" given on April 25, 1971.

"I am close to the day I leave. (선생님이 이제 가야할 끝날이 멀지 않았습니다.) After I go, you shouldn't live in a separate place as an individual. In the environment which relates to the teaching of parents, you should be able to discuss, exchange things and share your heart with two other people at least. Such a life is necessary. To be alone will often block you in your path."

"(To Mother) 어머니 ('Yes.') Today I have to go to Yeosu, where we have built a 17-floor hotel. (Katsumi: The dedication ceremony of 'The Ocean Hotel' was on that day.) But the base of the spot was originally for a 72-floor building. So we made the hotel which is less than one-third of its possible height and we will be able to rebuild it if necessary in the future after demolishing the current one. In order for it to remain in the providence, we have to develop and make it bigger so that the leadership of the province can use it."

"We need the buildings of 72 floors in Seoul, in the south coast, and the east coast. 8X9 makes 72. When 8 and 9 become tied together and assimilated by being settled on the soil, (the spot) will become the origin and the fountain of the force in the cosmos. Jesus also had 72 followers. We must make buildings in time for the providential progress."

"Say 이목구비 (耳目口鼻: ears, eyes, mouth and nose). Ears, eyes, mouth and then nose. This is the right order. It is eyes that understand quickly what you hear. (For example) When you hear something, your eyes try to see it. Then with your구 (mouth), you will say, 'Who are you?' Then you try to smell them. That is the way it is."

" 안착 (安着) can happen by individual or some people, but 정착 (定着) can be possible only by a couple and a family which continues eternally." (Katsumi: Father has used both 안착 and 정착 in his mottoes, and according to him '정착 /settlement' is more important than '안착 / safe arrival.')

"What is 선 (善, Seon: good)? It is 선 (線, Seon: line) that connects two entities. (Katsumi: Here Father interpreted '선 / good' together with '선 / line.' They have the same pronunciation but different Chinese characters.)"

"If the center can be tangible, anybody can remove it, and therefore the center must transcend such a level. In this huge cosmos, what is the invisible center of it? Any entity separate from the center cannot be a significant existence, ending up as an obstacle to be broken soon. Did Rev. Moon see God? I came to know Him rather than see him. How is it possible? Anybody can see external forms, but they all depends on the invisible internal character. If you stick to that (principle), (you will realize) everything in the world has something like shadow wherever they go."

""The Prayer of Rev. Moon is '원형이정은 천도지상이요, 인의예지는 인성지강이다." (Katsumi: 元亨利貞 天道之常(원형이정 천도지상) 仁義禮智 人性之綱(인의예지 인성지강). This basically means that spring, summer, autumn and winter, which respectively represent foundation, growth, harvest and conclusion of life, are an unchanging heavenly law, and that is also the way that humans are who pursue love, righteousness, courtesy and knowledge in order to go along with such a Heaven.)

The Ocean Hotel Grand Opening
Tuesday in Yeosu

The Ocean Hotel by Tongil Foundation-affiliated Ilsang Oceanic Development Co., held its grand opening on Feb. 28, with True Parents attending. The governor of South Cholla Province, Chairman of the 2012 Yeosu Expo Organizing Committee and Mayor of Yeosu also attended. True Parents were very satisfied with the completed hotel.

Customers seem pretty satisfied, too. It may be impossible to get a room there during the period the Expo is being held. Most rooms are already booked for that period.

(@lovintp in English) Hoon Dok Hoe: Spring doesn't just come on its own. Our lives can be compared to a journey that passes through spring, summer, autumn and winter. Only if the autumn harvest bears the life force sufficient to carry us through the winter will we be able to endure the severe winter. It is after that, after passing over winter's mountain pass, that we can greet the spring.
