Ancestors Blessed at the Chung Pyung Workshop Will Come to Your Home

The ancestors who were blessed on August 5th at the UMD College Park campus during the Chung Pyung workshop have been participating in a 40 day workshop to learn how to live as Blessed Central Families. They have also been learning how to help their descendants and serve God’s providence. This Friday, September 14th, will be the 41st day after the ancestor blessing ceremony. Your newly blessed ancestors will come to your home. Please have a welcome home celebration with your family.

The general Chung Pyung guidelines are:

1. Prepare a banner.

2. Prepare a simple offering table

3. Opening with the declaration (“This is the welcome home celebration for our blessed ancestors, generations:…), holy song, full bow, family pledge, opening prayer, HDH, welcoming words to your ancestors, holy song, closing declaration (to work together to fulfill God’s will).

4. Introduce yourselves and your relatives to your ancestors, even those who are not in the church. The ancestors will help bring them back to God.

5. Report all your problems and ask for their help.

6. Remember them in your prayers and daily life.

Under the direction of True Father, Heung Jin Nim, and Dae Mo Nim, our ancestors are given missions in the spiritual world. However, our ancestors have a close tie of heart to us, and will continue to work on our behalf. Therefore, steps 5 and 6 are important to working with your ancestors. By reporting our problems to our ancestors, they will work to help us resolve them by setting conditions on our behalf. Our prayers for them return the love and support to our ancestors in their missions.

May Heavenly Parent’s blessings be with you!
