True Mother's words at the Celebration of Victory (Cheon Jeong Gung, Feb. 13, 2014)

"The Messiah (at the Second Coming) came after a 6000 year history however, we could not attend him well due to our insufficiency. In order for the term "Blessing" to appear in human history,,,,,,. To have the term "Blessing" is a miracle for people who now live on earth. Blessed families are people who received such an amazing fortune, aren't they? Have you accomplished the responsibilities as a filial son or daughter, patriot and holy son or daughter? You should repent.

It is a fact that the image of our church has been upgraded but how much do the people in the world know True Parents? Seven billion people don't know True Parents yet. There is always a right time in Heaven's providential history. You should not miss this time period.

Don't become people who are shameful of yourselves due to not accomplishing your responsibilities even if you are in the position where you can bring results. Women here understand this: when you give birth to a child, you can do so even though you are at the point of dying. You should accomplish your responsibilities. Love members, create harmony among brothers and sisters, and attend True Parents while enlarging your environment.

Don't you think it would be great if you can bring successful results while I am on earth? I was impressed by the reports I heard this morning, but they are insufficient. The whole world must know True Parents. Christmas (Jesus' birthday) is not something certain but the birthday of True Parents is obvious. From now on, you should do something that will let the world know the birthday of True Parents. From next year, please hold an event in each country throwing a party and letting people know the advent of True Parents.

How much have True Parents loved humankind on earth? True Father gave his all risking his life to the last second of his time on earth. Don't just sit and only think. You should move your body. I would like to trust you. I am blessing you so that you are able to totally mobilize the spirit world to help you."

-The First Anniversary of Cheon Il Guk Foundation Day Begins with the Bowing Ceremony.

The Bowing Ceremony of the First Anniversary of Cheon Il Guk Foundation Day was held on January 13th in the 2nd Year of Cheon Il Guk at 7:00 AM by the Heavenly Calendar (February 12th), at the Cheon Jung Goong Main Hall. The True Parents of Heaven and Earth, the True Family, VIPs, including corporate executives, public and pastoral officials, elders, royal family members and Unification Church members were all in attendance, totaling about 300 participants all together.


We Must Always Envision the Realization of Cheon Il Guk.”
On this day, True Mother emphasized that, “To become true owners of Cheon Il Guk, we must always envision the realization of Cheon Il Guk. Please unite with and realize the will, and become people who always take true ownership to heart. I pray that you can become people who can realize Cheon Il Guk in your lives.”

On this day, Korean Continental Director Kyeong-Seuk Ryu presided over the Bowing Ceremony. President Ryu explained the meaning of Foundation Day and the 7-year course until Vision 2020, saying, “As we usher in the completion of the substantial Cheon Il Guk and the Cosmic Revolution proclaimed by the True Parents of Heaven and Earth, I hope that as citizens of Cheon Il Guk, all members of the Unification Church will unite with one another and resolve to offer total devotion and filial piety to True Parents.”

True Parents received ceremonial bows after their entrance and the lighting of the Holy Candle. The various representatives offered up bows of respect first, followed by the families of Hyo Jin Nim, Heung Jin Nim and other True Family representatives. They were followed by the 5 Great Saints and other representatives from the spirit world.

 

Japanese Continental Director Yong-Cheon Song offered up a prayer report, saying, “I sincerely pray that we can reflect on the blessing and enormous heavenly love that has brought about the Foundation Day of Cheon Il Guk, which was unprecedented though all of human history. I want to offer up my sincere gratitude for allowing us to live as the subjects and citizens of Cheon Il Guk, where we will attend the True Parents of Heaven and Earth in the cleanest, brightest place, and where we will enter the new heaven and new earth of the restored Garden of Eden.”

After the Holy Communion, President Young-Whi Kim also read sections of True Father’s and Mother’s words from the “True Parents’ Scriptures,” which will be dedicated at the historical First Anniversary of Foundation Day Commemoration Ceremony.

You Must Realize the Blessing and Become a Lighthouse that Shines into the Night.

When I received the summons and the responsibility to become the Messiah, I could not selfishly decide, “I am the Messiah!” Instead, I had to be aware that there was no other path but for me to be the Messiah. I had to start from the viewpoint of fallen Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Restoration is the same. That standard is not just words. Just because God says that you are blessed does not mean that you are blessed. Only after you have completely realized the blessing and can live together as equals can you receive the inheritance. You can receive the inheritance after you are able to live and work together as equals. Then you must say, “I am absolutely the True Parents, I am absolutely the Messiah.” It is the same as a lighthouse that shines into the night. No matter how dark the world is, the lighthouse must shine the light of hope into the night. We have to work as though we were lighthouses shining into the dark, guiding all of the insects and animals. [True Parents’ Scriptures] Chapter 1, Paragraph 1, “True Parents’ Approval and Awakening”

From the very beginning, we have raised our members through the strong bonds of the world of heart, through love and the word. Mother thinks that from now on, the Korean church and the world church both need to become like this. We must lead all of the Korean churches in this direction. We must do the same with the world churches. Even if we do not have eloquent explanations, people can feel our love that is bound to heaven. If we become one, everything can be expressed. Mother will foster the Unification Church with this kind of strong love, so that the Unification Church, the blessed families and the True Family can all become one. You must all cooperate with me. Regardless of whether or not you are in a public position, you must live for the sake of your partner and your environment through your words, your actions and your attitude. –Chapter 2, Paragraph 1, “Reviving the Church and Resurrecting Faith”
