True Motherfs Dedication Prayer at the East
Garden Museum
The following prayer
was offered by True Mother on December 4, 2016, on the occasion of the opening
and dedication of the East Garden Museum in Tarrytown, New York.
Our dear, most beloved Heavenly Parent, the Parent of Heaven,
Earth and Humankind:
Here
at the East Garden Holy Ground we offer this place, the old house where we
began the providence in America, as a museum. During the arduous course of the
Providence of Restoration, You gave fallen humanity hope. However, the first
providence for the advent of the Messiah, Savior and True Parent through the
people of Israel ended in failure. No one in all the history of humankind knew
how great Heavenfs effort and suffering had been.
Heavenly
Parent, You, however, with an unchanging heart, restarted the providence of
salvation through Christianity and prepared for two thousand years for the
returning Lord, who Jesus promised would come again. Therefore, You raised America to play the central role in the
providence by becoming a nation that could prepare for and receive True
Parents, the Second Coming of the Messiah.
Nevertheless,
the people were ignorant and did not understand Heavenfs situation. They chose to live comfortable lives and
cared only for themselves. This nation has a regrettable history, in that it
chose individualism and selfishness over Godfs Will.
The
True Parents, being aware of providential history, came to this nation. They
protected America, which was on the brink of a moral crisis, and remained for
the long period of forty years, opening the way for progress and results
through their blood and tears. Nevertheless, the people are still ignorant of
the truth that the True Parents, the Savior, the Second Coming of the Messiah,
came to earth and developed Heavenfs
providence in order to save all humankind.
Therefore,
blessed families must fulfill their responsibilities and awaken this country
once again through this museum we are dedicating today. We offer this as a
place where people can learn about True Parentsf history and the results of their achievements and a place where
they can repent and resolve to follow True Parentsf way in order to make Heavenly Parentfs dream come true. In doing so, this nation can fulfill
its responsibilities
as the providential Elder Son Nation. Father, Heavenly Parent, please receive
this happily. Please move the hearts of all members and visitors who come here,
so that this people and the world can absolutely receive Heavenfs Will during True Parentsf
lifetime. I pray that this can be the starting point for the Unification movement in America and the
people of this nation to move toward that day—the day when the Kingdom of
Heaven is realized and all people become citizens of Cheon
Il Guk.
Aju.
