WFWP Welcoming Address: Our Thirty-Year History and True Parents' Vision

Julia Hoon Sook Moon April 21, 2022 The Thirtieth Anniversary Of Women’s Federation for World Peace Cheongshim World Peace Center in Gyeonggi Province, South Korea

Distinguished and very dear members of the Women’s Federation for World Peace! Dear International leaders, elders, advisors, and directors!

First of all, I would like to bow in gratitude for the infinite love of True Mother, the only begotten daughter and the substantial Holy Spirit, through whom this highly significant event is being held here at the HJ Global Art Center, to mark the thirtieth anniversary of the founding of the Women’s Federation for World Peace. In the month of February, a miracle occurred when — through her strong will — she presided over the World Summit that was unlikely to be held. As the Mother of Peace, she delivered words of life to world leaders, achieving a great victory. On April 16, she celebrated the 62nd anniversary of True Parents’ Holy Wedding, and then presided over an important ceremony to offer Cheon Won Gung to Heavenly Parent the following day. Listening to True Mother’s words of repentance to Heavenly Parent, we deeply felt her love, and as her children, we had no choice but to in turn repent.

Prior to the dedication ceremony of Cheon Won Gung, the holy shrine where the Heavenly Parent will reside and exert his authority, scheduled for May 5, 2023, True Mother has offered us the opportunity to participate in a special seminar and offer sincere conditions of devotion in order to purge the shadowy areas in our lives. On this basis, we hold in her presence, this event marking the thirtieth anniversary of the founding of the Women’s Federation. On behalf of all the members of the federation, I would like to express my love and gratitude to True Mother who has given us great blessings and love.

Until we reach this day, Heavenly Parent has worked hard for 6,000 years, shedding blood, sweat and

tears, in order to recover misguided humanity. For the liberation of Heavenly Parent and the salvation of mankind, True Parents paid the indemnity of six thousand years of fallen history with their own bodies. Therefore, I would be grateful if you would show your love and gratitude to True Parents with a warm round of applause.

Dear leaders of Cheon Il Guk and members of the Women’s Federation!

The Women’s Federation is a providential organization created to take the global peace movement into a new dimension, fulfilling its intrinsic purpose of “realizing the original world of God’s creation.” True Father and True Mother have completed their Holy Union as representatives of the masculinity and femininity of Heavenly Parent, and they are in equal positions centered on true love. Nevertheless, to advance Heaven’s providence, True Father has been established as the central axis and is completely united with True Mother.

After the Moscow Summit in 1990, True Mother, who triumphed through “the ceremony of the eternal proclamation of God’s Blessing” in 1991, established the Women’s Federation for World Peace, whose goal was the liberation of women around the world and the launch of a true women’s movement.

Over the past thirty years, True Mother has conducted various activities across the globe based on true motherly love to enhance the prestige of the true woman and the True Family Values Movement. In 2012, at the last event he held before his ascension into the spirit world, True Father created the Abel-type UN. The reason this event took place last is because he wanted that through the Abel-type women’s UN, women, completely united with True Mother, could guide the providence on earth, aiming at realizing the world of peace so desired by Heavenly Parent.

After True Father’s ascension, at the Women’s Federation New Year’s celebration in January 2013, True Mother emphasized the need to always move forward. I am sure she still remembers the tears she shed as she called on all women, her dearest daughters and little sisters, to take the lead and walk together with her. True Mother emerged victorious from the last providential course, notably following a path that no one has ever trod before.

After proclaiming the establishment of Cheon Il Guk, we are watching her lead the providence today so that Vision 2027 — that of establishing a heavenly unified Korea and making it the center of the world as soon as possible, as well as that of achieving a heavenly unified world — is no longer a mere dream but a reality. In the inaugural speech, True Mother stated that the Women’s Federation for World Peace was established to fulfill its mission and role as the central organization of the women-centered peace movement in accordance with Heaven’s will in the global women’s era.

As True Mother said, we are in the spring of providence with the advent of the era of women. The world, as well as Korea, is gradually entering the era of women.

Therefore, it is time for women to play a central role in achieving a peaceful world. Keeping in our hearts the feeling of True Father who desired to live, even for a single day, in a restored nation, what should we now do in order to create a base of support for the realization of Vision 2027 and the establishment of a heavenly unified Korea and heavenly unified world? I hope this moment will be an opportunity to reflect anew and to make a decision.

Ladies and gentlemen, why did True Parents put the wives of church leaders in charge of the Women’s Federation in their area? Didn’t they do it with the intention that they would go beyond the boundaries of the church’s faith, practice True Parents’ teachings of true love life for the sake of society, become believers who carry their faith into actions, as well as surrogates of True Parents who can positively influence the world?

It is my fervent wish that the Women’s Federation, more than any other organization, will become the one that is closest to the heart of our True Mother, the only begotten daughter of God, who invests herself body and soul at the front line of providence.

Dearest ladies of the Women’s Federation!

I would like to thank my predecessors, Ladies Won-bok Choi, Gil-Ja Sa, Dae-hwa Jeong, Lan-young Moon, Yeon-ah Moon and Yeon-seon Choi for following True Parents’ will for the past thirty years and for their hard work for the development of the Women’s Federation.

Since I humbly, assumed the role of international president of the Women’s Federation, the various activities we have carried out have made me realize the extent of your efforts. You have really done a great job. In addition, I would like to humbly bow and express my sincere gratitude and respect to the first-generation members and senior leaders who have invested their whole body and soul by solely following God’s will in order to place the Women’s Federation in the position it is in today.

As we once again feel how great True Mother’s hopes and love are for the Women’s Federation, let us establish a substantial foundation by serving True Mother at the forefront of the providence by laying a spiritual foundation through prayer and sincere conditions of devotion, and become daughters of filial piety who follow True Mother’s will.

Not only that, but also as true daughters of God and True Parents, as true women and mothers, let us make our voice heard in society and let the Women’s Federation have a real influence.

It is my fervent wish that our Women’s Federation becomes a worthy community and organization that everyone will want to join, an organization that will bear witness to the most beautiful and resplendent True Mother as the True Mother of humanity. We can do this!

Let us be proud of our thirty-year history and the vision True Parents have given us. Let us all work together to become a federation of women that is essential to the realization of a greater providence by becoming completely united with True Mother. I conclude my remarks by wishing you and your families God’s and True Parents’ protection.
