Cheongshim Peace World Center, Korea
True Father’s Invocation
Father God who is
the great Lord of all the cosmos, we give sincere thanks that You
have permitted us, this day, to hold this ceremony. As Heaven
has specially permitted us today to perform acts of goodness in the
midst of such a wonderful environment, we beseech that You will grant
Your blessing on these brides and grooms who stand here in holiness
with the justification of having become children of the parents in
heaven, as representative men and representative women
representing the 6.5 billion people of the world, and who now attend
Heaven in this splendid environment with hearts of joy and
jubilation. How You have longed to see such good men and women!
We
give sincere thanks, Father, that You have allowed the grace of being
able to inherit the lineage of the holy blessing, whereby we are born
again in accordance with a relationship of flesh and blood with the
True Parents, in 194 Abel-type countries and 193 Cain-type countries
centering on the 6.5 billion people of the world..
We are
truly grateful that You have permitted us to have this day to
commemorate this solemn occasion in the presence of all nations,
all creation and the entire cosmos, where True Parents, the
substantial embodiment of the fruits representing the king of the
kings of all nations and the numerous kings in history, have
become one with God, in the name of True Parents.
After the
time of the Creation, our Heavenly Father, You dreamed of the model
parents of all peoples and waited for the day of the blessing. Yet
You could not bless Adam and Eve, and instead You lost them. Since
then, You have had to endure for tens of thousands of years until
this day, on which are present tens of thousands of couples who have
been called here after undergoing suffering and difficulty to inherit
the realm of heart under Your lineage. So Father, please welcome
these brides and grooms into Your heart with open arms.
In the
presence of Your heart, which had yearned for Adam and Eve to reach
their twenties, have come tens of thousands of children to be blessed
in this stadium in Korea, after thousands of years have passed, so
please embrace them with a wide heart and deep and noble affection,
and please allow the children, blessed in the spiritual world and the
physical world centering on true love, to inherit the bloodline of
true love through the love of God and True Parents and receive the
blessing as husband and wife.
The brothers and sisters who
have received the blessing in the past, and the billions of couples
in the spiritual world and many blessed brothers and sisters in the
physical world are all here in this stadium to congratulate the
couples, so please look upon them with favor and let Your heart,
which was closed, and which has yearned for this for generations,
open in joy.
It was the wish of Heaven to form the one family,
Adam's, but this could not be fulfilled and it was lost in Eden. This
commemorative day is the joyous day on which we can go beyond that
and bless these sons and daughters brought together in tens of
thousands of couples, as the flowers of high, wide and deep true
love, so Father we hope and pray that You will bless this day more
than any day ever before.
Thanks to the joint efforts of
parents, brothers and sisters, teachers in the schools of many
nations, and religious leaders on the foundation of religion who have
nurtured and raised these children, they have been able to be here,
to be brought together as brothers and sisters, and to be dedicated
before You as citizens of the one nation. We are truly grateful
to You for permitting us this opportunity.
These new couples,
the good men and women called here by Heaven and blessed together,
are the new fruits representing billions of blessed couples. They are
the newly harvested seeds in front of the brothers and sisters who
have received the blessing before them, so please receive them as the
proud brides and grooms of heaven and earth.
Heavenly Father,
please look down upon this joyous arena with pleasure as the
spiritual and physical worlds, the people that attend God, come
together here to attend True Parents, the substantial
representatives of the one God whom they have served from the
time they were in their mothers’ wombs through the times of
puberty, youth, middle age and old age. We also hope and pray in the
name of True Parents that our innumerable fellow members in the
kingdom of heaven, looking down at this stadium, will support these
model couples who have been newly blessed with deeper, broader,
loftier and more joyous hearts. Aju!
