Beloved Heavenly Father,
we have passed the fourth year of Cheon Il Guk, and have
entered the fifth year of Cheon Il Guk. I know how
difficult, arduous and full of pain and tears Your path
has been in seeking out the holy ground of Cheongpyeong
in Korea as the history of restoration through indemnity
moves toward its final destination.
As all this has passed, I
proclaim the era of the cosmic peace kingdom centering
on the Interreligious and International Federation for
World Peace. We deeply engrave in our hearts a new
beginning that enables us to attend God as the parent on
this earth, and True Parents as the parents on this
earth, and unite the internal parents with the external
parents; and we engrave the numerous hopes from the
course of history that You had for the purpose of
stepping on and going beyond this platform.
This child knows well of
Your lonely life course as You, the Father, pioneered
through the environment and longed for the garden of
love based on the ideal of re-creation.
We are overwhelmed with
awe knowing how You went through this difficult path of
history of tribulations that created the cosmos. This
was to initiate another beginning for You-the
incorporeal subject and the owner-to let me, this
unworthy child, attain a form in the land of Korea, from
Your invisible position in our relationship, an
invisible position of not having form. In the midst of
this, no one knew about these destined connections, the
conditions for interaction, behind thousands of years of
history.
Although there were many
peoples, many nations and many families on this earth,
and many men and women have existed, this child knows
well of Your bitter anguish of not having even one
person as Your partner who can relate with the deep
heart of a son or daughter showing respect and affection
for You, and who can relate with that lofty and precious
heart in the deepest part of Your heart. Your son did
not know of Your sorrowful heart in which You had to
seek a man and woman. Nobody on this earth knew of the
heavenly aspects of Your heart from this endless path of
bitter pain, and this path of bitter anguish from the
infinite history and eternity in which You sought Your
son in order to go beyond this confusing line of
limitation that only You knew of and which even Satan
was ignorant of. Behind the history of the land of Korea
that has lasted beyond 5,000 or even 7,000 years, this
child knows well the path of tribulations that You
walked until You found the path that enabled You to take
rest in this land of Korea while You went about
throughout the continent in the central field of heaven
and earth.
The child that stands
before You today may look shabby in appearance but knows
all too well the path of sorrow of the defeated who lost
their kingship as they lived in the shadow of the
history of bitter anguish. I know too well how great
Your bitter anguish was in being unable to pass on Your
kingship to Your child, and in losing the kingship
itself.
You looked upon the vast
population of mankind, countless nations and individuals
and families. All these should have become a lamp that
blossoms like the flower of Your hope of love. That
nation and world should have shone like the sun and moon
and become a subject partner with driving power, which
can move all life forms of the creation. Yet, losing
these things, You were alone, imprisoned amidst the
shadow of a dark heart as You searched for Your son. You
crossed long distances alone, longing for the son whom
You will find in the last days that lay in the distance.
That history of yearning has lasted not one or two days
but continued for tens of thousands of years, and
beyond. As You raised the realm of religion encapsulated
in four thousand years and, on Your path, groping to
find the way and surmounting this hill, You had to
pioneer along all the difficult paths in front of Satan.
People on earth pioneered as they hovered between life
and death, a situation no man on earth would want. Going
beyond one side of the boundary of freedom, You found
Your own image, and going beyond the shameful sight that
stood before the original creation, Your heart yearned
for a son that could become the single light for the
future, and moonlight, while You looked back to the
history You went through to become the Lord of
humankind.
Now as we see off the
fourth year of Cheon Il Guk and receive the fifth year
of Cheon Il Guk, our mind and body cannot relate to You
separately. After achieving the coronation ceremony of
the kingship of the peace kingdom centering on the
Interreligious and International Federation for World
Peace on this earth, we must unite the realms of the
lineages of the Mongolian people by going beyond the
sphere of the Mongolian race. Without doing so, heaven
would be silenced by the dark shadow of those defeated
by their bonds to the satanic lineage that began with
the murder in Adam's family. As we welcome the new,
bright and clear morning light, together with the owner
of heaven and earth and with a heart of love of a
patriot on behalf of the ancestors of mankind from
millions and billions of generations, this child once
again must ask for forgiveness at this time before Your
heart that has longed for the liberated realm of Your
Sabbath where heaven and earth-from the mineral world to
the human world, and all the creation belonging to the
pair system-can be harmonized in unity, to suffer,
rejoice, and live together.
Standing before the Father
who raised this child in a position responsible for
heaven and earth, I can never forget the past ages where
I struggled to take on the burden of Your cross that
grew heavier. This memory is stronger than that of the
struggles on the path of indescribable hardships, and of
each moment where heavy burdens of bearing the failures
of the responsibilities of religion and the nations on
this earth were added. Passing through the ages of
adolescence and youth, I cannot forget the course of
training You gave me to make me understand Your sadness
as You had to go to and fro numerous times in order to
expand the local roads, highways and freeways of the
nation and world that enabled me to go directly to the
world of heart from a position of ignorance located at
the bottom of hell, day and night amidst the darkness of
a thousand years. This was in order to fulfill my duty
as a child that should attend the Father who has form
and who sits on the throne, with the realm of Your words
and the gates of the palace of Your heavenly nation
inside America.
The entire history of
resentment and lamentation...Due to holding the
coronation ceremony for the king of peace of the
victorious heavenly nation on December 13 in the fourth
year of Cheon Il Guk through the Interreligious and
International Federation for World Peace, a declaration
should have been declared today on this earth. But it is
delayed until February 14, to True Parents' birthday.
During this time, let all the things that were liberated
and indemnified during the fourth year of Cheon Il Guk
become a seed and sprout that harbors a clean and
flawless life force that solely focuses on Your desire.
Let it grow to have form, become a tree and bear fruit
that can bring joy to the master in the garden, blooming
with flowers and abundant with fragrance. I know the
world of Your heart that longs to pluck this fruit and
prepare a feast again for Your sons and daughters.
Father, at this time I am
aware that Your deep heart that I know has a background
more deep, high and broad in extent. I now understand
that it is impious to try to understand that world and
that it is a sin to know this world. Thus, I could not
stand in a position of running to You in silence,
grasping You, embracing Your body and calling Your name!
Reaching that position, I cannot forget the days of Your
cooperation when I suffered on the path of perseverance,
patience, hardship and a situation of life and death
stemming from persecution, until that day of dispersing
the deep shadow in Your heart.
I cannot forget the joy of
that day of the Coronation Ceremony of the Kingship of
God on January 13 in the first year of Cheon Il Guk,
which took place prior to the fourth year of Cheon Il
Guk. This child, who failed to gain the nation for that
day and raise it before heaven, came to this land, the
fatherland, and knows how great is the responsibility I
was called to take on and which needs to be fulfilled
within the next four years with these young and immature
children. I stand in a position where, even though I
might not be able to believe in them, I cannot help
doing so. They could not become such sons and daughters
who can stand with both hands raised before the Father
and pledge to take responsibility in completing and
fulfilling their given responsibility during the next
four years. This child establishes a foundation, and
these children must raise a nation, attend the parents,
reveal the great way of the heavenly principles [natural
laws], so that the sun and moon unite, and heaven and
earth come together in the bright heaven and earth.
My heart is wrenched as I
experience how vexing and bitter a history of ordeals it
has been due to the failure to attain a position of an
ideal couple in love that can carry on true love, true
life, and true lineage in a deep position centered on
the origin of the family that is the nest of love.
Experiencing these things, I know how heart-wrenching it
was for Heaven. As we pass out of the fourth year of
Cheon Il Guk, the nations and religions on this earth
have come to their current situation by setting up the
foundation for conditions that barely meet the standard
of Your heart.
Since we were born through
an inevitable special connection with heaven, we must
make the impossible possible, things without hope into
things with hope, and resurrect the child that was
originally in the position of death. In such an
indivisible position that must be armed with Your
omnipotent authority, You came to us as we sorrowfully
struggled and proved that You existed. Unable to command
in a loud voice, You whispered to us the command to have
absolute faith, absolute love, and absolute obedience,
concerned that we may bring shame upon You before Satan.
You sought the number five at the risk of the number
four that enables You to liberate the bright heaven and
earth for the purpose of bringing the ancestors of
mankind who were disobedient to You throughout history
to this place.
Going beyond 4,000 years
in the age representing the Old Testament Age and in
which Your sons and daughters could receive the Messiah,
which was Your desire in sending the Messiah to this
earth, Jesus could not usher in the age of the fifth
millennium. Coming upon this earth, he left behind the
task of putting heaven and earth in order and
Christianity had to shed blood for 2,000 years. I know
very well that, crying and suffering, You pushed the
heart of this son again and again for him to go this way
as You endured the sorrowful sight of him being
compelled to stand aside from Your path of righteousness
along with the individual sacrifices and tears of defeat
shed by the family, tribal and national levels.
There has never been a son
of filial piety on this earth who could fulfill the path
of loyalty and filial piety. There has never been a
patriot or a family of divine sons and daughters. These
things that even You could not do, I had to fulfill. I
had to follow this path, with this responsibility, into
the sea of tears from indescribable suffering, all the
while regarding it to be a wading pool where I would
swim everyday. I had to walk these paths forgetting my
struggles and strove on to this point while gazing only
at Your targeted desires and the sunlight You revealed.
Now at this moment as we
surmount a hill, in this fifth year, we have to call for
all the spirit people who had the misfortune of going to
the spirit world, based on the foundations of the
blessed families on this earth whom they can have pride
in as their direct lineage. They should have been the
families of sons of filial piety, families of patriots,
families of saints, and divine sons and daughters who
should have called all the ancestors in the spirit
world, even God, to this earth and attended them. Yet
they stand in a position unable to do so, despite the
education I have given them throughout my life.
With this old body yet
young at heart I still stand before the course of
fulfilling my given responsibility in opening the new
gates to the heavenly world along with the task of
arranging all things in the earthly world even at the
moment I collapse, in order to reproduce what they
should have done. Thus, I sent my sons and daughters of
four age groups to the spirit world, and with the
responsibility of the parent on earth, I shoulder the
responsibility of the parent before these children and
carry the realm of relationships in the heavenly world
in order to liberate even those groaning in the abyss of
hell. Gazing upon the rising sunlight of the fourth year
of Cheon Il Guk, I cannot forget the facts that I alone
know as I stand in this difficult position where I feel
inadequate despite the pain of this body.
Even as I passed through
this position I know that Your heart for the nation was
tens, hundreds and even thousands of times greater.
Unable to comfort Your heart, even as my mind floundered
when You needed me, even when You resisted to rest when
You could have, and how You endured alone, braving the
wind and frost at the front in pioneering the way to
help this unworthy child, before You I truly pray with
all my heart and body that my wife who stands before me
can unite with You. I know very well that the very being
that brought about the seemingly impossible conflict
within Your mind and within Your body, was the same
being who stained the name of True Parents. Therefore,
let our two bodies be transformed into one, let us
become the bright parents of the new morning that rises
explosively before Your deep heart, as the sun and moon
that shine beyond the darkness to bring the tide of the
bright heaven and earth from this year.
I proclaim the
tremendously important levels of responsibility so that
all the good and bad things in the spirit world can come
to this earth and bear fruit as good things. Let us make
a new determination to offer this before You. Let the
people gathered here today attain one heart, one body
and one core with the True Parents' heart. On the
foundation of the liberated freedom, the tranquil place
of rest, let the Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind
be attended by from one to millions of families. Let
these become families of sons of filial piety, families
of patriots that go beyond the nation, families of the
saints that go beyond the world, and families of divine
sons and daughters that go beyond the cosmos.
During this four-year
period, bless us so that, with all our hearts, we can
leap beyond this meridian that is inclined towards the
world that can freely guide and digest all things, and
bring liberty and liberation to the realm of the Sabbath
centered on Ahn Shi Il, which heaven can embrace
according to the path of loyalty and filial piety. And
in the ninth year of Cheon Il Guk after the year 2008,
please become the owner, parent and teacher for eternity
who can restore the boundaries between the heavenly
world and the earthly world so that You may freely
commute to heaven from the earthly world along with
those who came to the earthly world, and reign over
these worlds while firmly grasping the throne of the
world of the original palace of the free, liberated
heaven and earth.
We pray that You will
enjoy Your reign of peace for all eternity. In laying
the foundation, let me invest my sincerity without fear
for those days to come. Please have pity on the heart of
this child who can only depend on Your cooperation until
the time I can embrace the passing moon and sun and go
beyond the ideal of the Shinmi year. I pray that You
will be with me and guide me as I walk this path.
Father please bestow Your
love on Mother standing here, who goes by the name of
Hak Ja Han. She has truly gone through many hardships to
this day. I know too well how great the intensity of
Mother's fate is in preparing her standard as a filial
daughter before You, and the preparations for attendance
in [True Parents'] family on earth. Still I have an
obligation that prevents me from giving guidance to her.
Hence, let me be able to help Mother in going beyond her
5 percent responsibility during the four years that
remain. With my heart of gratitude before Heaven, and
with Mother offering her thanks to Heaven, let this
become like two incense fires, like two candles burning
in the darkness, and protect us and guide us so that we
can perfect the way of the True Parents.
On the first day, as we
designate the motto for this year, please unite the body
of our couple which must go forth with hope and joy on
this path even though our two bodies may be ripped apart
and damaged as we go between the internal world of
heaven and the external world of heaven. Bless us and
guide us so that we may reach the position of Your
victory without collapsing on the way.
On behalf of two people,
this I sincerely, sincerely, report and proclaim in the
name of the True Parents.
Amen.
