2018 Hyojeong Cosmic Blessing Ceremony Officiated by the True Parents of Heaven, Earth, and Humankind
Our awesome Creator, God, our Heavenly Parent, the owner of true love!
How you have enduringly longed for this day to come!
You created all things for Your dream and through the first ancestors of humankind, Adam and Eve, whom You hoped would become the True Parents. However, due to the Fall, our Heavenly Parent had no choice but to carry out the resented providence of restoration through indemnity.
The providence of restoration through indemnity was filled with Your sorrow and toil. You struggled to establish a people and through them You finally sent Jesus, Your only begotten Son, for the first time, after 2,000 years.
Yet, human beings, ignorant of Heaven's providence, anguished You once again. Central figures who had given birth to Jesus did not fulfill their responsibilities and Jesus had no choice but to die on the cross! He left a promise that he would come again and hold the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
The Christian Church began based on earnest hearts and the revival by the Holy Spirit and in the desire to await the return of the Messiah, who had said he would return; yet, Christianity was unaware of his essence and of Heavenly Parent's miserable providence. This is the reality of Christianity today.
Heavenly Parent, You have worked so hard! In front of You, I am filled with regret and remorse. After the long period of two thousand years, You succeeded in sending Your only begotten Daughter through the [Korean] people. Then in 1960, Your only begotten Daughter met Your only begotten Son and they rose to the position of the True Parents.
However, Christianity failed to provide an environment, leaving the True Parents to start from the very bottom with the Blessing of three couples. Fallen humankind cannot go in front of You without going through the True Parents.
True Parents know Heavenly Parent's circumstances and they know humankind's wish. Therefore, from that time on, for 58 years, True Parents have given birth to many Blessed couples and through them, children in their second and third generations are here today to receive the Blessing as good brides and good grooms.
Heavenly Parent! How much You have longed patiently for this day! Although we are unworthy, we know that through True Parents the path to go in front of Heavenly Parent has opened, as well as the way to Cheon Il Guk, which is the beginning of a new era and a new history.
Today, in this moment, we not only have those who are receiving the Blessing, but we are together with Blessed families, participating all over the world. We pledge centering on Heavenly Parent, together with all 7.6 billion people of the world, to fulfill our responsibilities by achieving Your dream, True Parents' hope, and humankind's hope, which is to build heaven on earth as one human family with absolute faith, absolute love, and absolute obedience as filial sons or daughters, loyal subjects to Heaven (Cheon Il Guk).
Heavenly Parent! Please receive this prayer with joy. We are undeserving, yet we promise until the day we leave earth, we will advance without ceasing to achieve Your dream. I pray and proclaim this in the name of the True Parents. Aju!
