On Starting the 40-day Special Dedication Period for the Victory of the 10th Anniversary of True Father's Seonghwa: Heavenly Japan

We have launched the 40-day course (from July 3 to August 11) for the victory of the 10th Anniversary of True Father’s Seonghwa. Our slogan is “Let’s go meet True Father!” From True Mother’s perspective, she may say, ‘go meet True Father,’ but for us, I think we could paraphrase it as “Let’s go meet True Parents!”

True Mother worries about the ‘resting members’ who have become distant from the church. Due to Covid-19, it has become common for members to participate in church services online. Even if one manages to join in person, we cannot wipe away the loneliness due to social distance since only twenty members can enter a chapel that can hold a hundred members. Such a situation where ministers could not feel a good response in their church management has lasted for almost two and a half years.

On the other hand, True Mother has held more than two hundred conferences and summits during this period. When we think that True Mother held about 170 speaking tours in Japan throughout her life, her efforts during this Corona period are amazing. While various events have been canceled from fear of the COVID-19 virus, True Mother has held numerous events by thoroughly implementing basic infection prevention measures and making full use of various media, such as the internet, with the mindset to keep moving despite all.

True Mother is praying fervently for all blessed families, church members, and second and third generations to come together under True Father on the 10th anniversary of his Seonghwa.

In Japan, we have carried out a project to visit the members of the second-generation realm. As such, we visit the blessed families and members who have become distant from the church. We can only maintain our spiritual life when we are connected to True Parents. How can we understand True Parents’ realm of heart without attending the church? Please tell them that we are in a historical era where Heavenly Parent and True Parents’ dreams will come true, and now we are in a golden age when we can walk this providential path with True Mother.

Leaders are responsible for conveying True Parents’ heart, circumstances, and wish to all members. As we go through this 40-day course, we should reflect on our wrongdoings and how we could bring Heavenly Parent’s beloved brothers and sisters back to True Parents’ arms.

Ten years ago, on July 7, True Parents were in Las Vegas. About a week after they came to the United States at the beginning of July, True Father caught a cold. As his symptom worsened, he stayed longer in the hospital, and True Mother was feeling concerned about True Father’s health; True Mother begged him to return to Korea, and they returned to Korea on July 15. True Father must have known that his days were numbered. As soon as they returned to Korea on July 15, they held the Abel Women’s UN Inauguration Assembly the next day. True Father nearly collapsed during his speech. He was not like what he used to be. The Abel Women UN was inaugurated with True Father’s heart, and soul has an

essential role in Heavenly providence.

The Women’s Federation for World Peace (WFWP) was inaugurated on April 10, 1992. True Father proclaimed the coming of the women’s era, and True Mother took office as the founder of WFWP. On March 27, 1990, two years before this event, True Father proclaimed the complete liberation of all women worldwide and declared True Mother as the second founder; this was on True Parents Day pledge service in New York.

This year marks the 30th anniversary of WFWP. The Abel Women UN was inaugurated on the 21st year of WFWP’s inauguration. True Father must have laid the foundations to carry on the providence centering on True Mother through providential numbers.

True Father ascended on September 3, 2012 (July 17 by the heavenly calendar). Approximately 40 days before True Father’s seonghwa must have been the most challenging time in True Mother’s life. True Mother, who knew True Father better than anyone else, could not do anything but stay by his side. How frustrating must it have been? I believe True Mother organized this 40-day course as she looked back on this period. I cannot help feeling that True Mother is asking us to walk this 40-day course by inheriting True Mother’s heart and her desperate wish to do anything for True Father.

True Father went to the spirit world to push the heavenly providence forward and protect us. So please visit many blessed families and members that True Father loved and listen closely to their hearts, dissatisfaction, and complaints. There is no doubt that True Father is waiting for them to come back to the church.

Every once or twice a week, I send a letter to True Mother about the things I saw and heard. It would be wonderful if I could give reports that could please True Mother, but there are times when I must report the difficulties we face.

As such, all continental leaders of eight regions worldwide make reports to True Mother, and so do national leaders when there are issues under consideration.

It is not hard to imagine how busy True Mother must be to read through those reports from around the world and take necessary measures.

True Mother has pinned her hopes on the second and third generations. She wants to educate them at Sun Moon University and UPA and send them out to the world as missionaries.

Through this 40-day course, please pray for the second-generation realm and visit those who have not been attending the church.

I look forward to reporting to True Mother on how many second and third-generation members have come to gather at the church due to this preparation period.

One person can change human history. Human history has become a history of grief because of the Fall of Adam and Eve. God saw a light of hope when a new world began due to Noah, but Ham’s wrongdoing brought suffering back into history. Even so, God did not give up. He has guided human history through the victory of central figures in the providence, such as Abraham and Jesus.

Whether our sub-regions, parishes, and churches can achieve victory is up to each of you. The members’ way of life will change depending on a single thought of a sub-regional leader, parish leader, church leader, or women’s representative. A central figure is a terrifying position.

“History will collapse if the central figure collapses.”

True Mother is working day and night with such a mindset. According to Wonju Jeong McDevitt, Chief of Staff, True Mother’s Secretariat, True Mother does not retire for the evening. Even if she lies down, she cannot get a deep sleep because various thoughts roaming around her mind keep her restless.

Today, we are trying to conclude the history of the providence of restoration that has lasted for 6000 years. Let’s meet our True Parents by being successful during this 40-day preparation period and produce the best accomplishment of our lifetime in July; this month opens the second half of this year! We must become completely united with True Parents.
