Our beloved True Father who came to this earth as the Savior of humankind, the Messiah, the True Parent and the King of Kings and lived a holy life of true love throughout his 93 years, shedding blood, sweat and tears for God’s liberation, the salvation of humankind and world peace, having concluded, completed and perfected his providential mission, ascended into the spirit world at 1:54 AM, 7.17 by the heavenly calendar in the 3rd year of Cheon-gi (September 3, 2012) at the Cheongshim International Medical Center. He was surrounded by True Mother and the True Children.

I offer my most sincere thanks to all our members worldwide who have offered jeongseong for the sake of our True Father’s recovery.

Details and the full schedule of True Father’s Seonghwa Ceremony will be announced later.

This Monday morning the sky above the Cheon Jeong Gung Peace Palace was mostly sunny. The air was still except for an occasional cool gentle breeze.

Someone asked Kook Jin Nim how he was holding up. He answered in a subdued voice: "Father gave us a lot of time to prepare."

All but the most essential appointments have been canceled during the period leading up to the Seonghwa Ceremony on Sept. 15.
