True Mother deeply invested her sincere heart and tremendous effort during her recent visit to the United States. At each event she participated in, she expressed her overwhelming commitment to fulfill God's original will and to bring salvation to each of the 7.2 billion people on earth. We wish to give a glimpse of the great blessing True Mother bestowed upon the eldest son nation through passages excerpted from several of the talks she gave, pouring out her heart, during this visit to the nation she and True Father had lived in for forty years.
On the morning of December 18, at Cheon Hwa Gung, where True Parents stay while in the Las Vegas area, True Mother spoke after Hoon Dok Hae to a group of especially dedicated members.
She called them to speak about something close to her heart, the importance of witnessing, of helping others to experience the rebirth that many of us take for granted.
On Friday, December 19, she spoke to a group of clerics in the American Clergy Leadership Conference, which is an organization, founded by True Parents in May 2000 to equip and empower religious leaders to rebuild the family, restore the community and renew the nation and the world. She spoke to them during their organization's National Convocation. This speech is provided here in full. It is especially significant because the members of the ACLC, mainly Christian pastors, presented True Mother with a Proclamation of Loyalty and True Love, signed by all 330 of the religious leaders that heard her speak that day.
Another reason this event was significant is that an article about the event appeared in the Segye Times, describing the event and quoting from both True Mother's speech that day and the proclamation of loyalty presented to her by the Christian leaders. Though True Parents are the founders of the Segye Times, non- Unificationists work at the paper and subscribe to paper and the article about the event appeared in the daily's online edition. Following the speech are some of the responses to Mother's message written by Christian leaders.
On December 20, True Mother inaugurated the Cranes Club, a supportive network of Unificationist professionals that aspire to contribute their expertise toward the successful establishment of Cheon Il Guk. The founding members of the Cranes Club introduced themselves to True Mother. The name of the club is derived from the first syllable of True Mother's given name, Hak. Mother was later described as "warm and happy to see the young businessmen and women in the room." Finally, we provide an excerpt from the speech Mother gave at the Christmas celebration with Unificationists, some of whom had traveled long distances to be with True Mother on this important occasion.
Given her relationship with Jesus, she spoke deeply about the profound significance of his mission and our responsibilities today.
