Clifton, NJ Family Church: Letter from our Pastor - Message from our True Mother — De Geode

Just last Saturday we were blessed to hear a live message from our True Mother and messages from a distinguished panel of national leaders at the International Rally of Hope through an exciting new virtual platform. A copy of True Mother’s full speech is now available online. The words True Mother spoke were loving, but strong. She expressed that:

“If Heavenly Parent is at the center of a community of people united under the values of interdependence, mutual prosperity and universal values, all problems can be solved. Unfortunately, the world today is characterized by self-centeredness, nationalism and numerous organizations and institutions distant from Heaven. The path we must take is that of seeking out the Heavenly Parent.”

What does this mean for us individually and as a community? We must each of us focus on strengthening our personal relationship with our Heavenly Parent. When we feel God’s love and positive energy, we can give that to others. We can come together as a community centered on our love for God, and the values rooted in this love.

While it’s not easy for me to personally affect change on the global level, there is a lot I can do to make a positive impact on the local level. Heavenly Parent is calling on me and each one of us to share the blessings we’ve received, not just with strangers, but with all people in our lives, in our homes, with our friends, in our neighborhoods, our workplaces, our schools, and so on. Love and hope is something each of us can give to one another through our genuine care for one another. Let’s be shining lights in these dark times!

Wishing you a wonderful week, full of love and blessings, and good health! Sincerely, Pastor Crescentia
