On the third day (Aug. 28, 9:30 am) of the Hyojeong Chung Pyung Great Works Commemorating the 6th Anniversary of the Holy Ascension of Sun Myung Moon, the True Parent of Heaven, Earth and Humankind, the Dedication Ceremony for Cheon Bo Won (heavenly genealogy center) was held in attendance to True Parents. The Cheon Bo Won is what Heavenly Parent has truly desired and on which humankind's result, represented by the blessed families, will be kept and which their descendants will see. The dedication ceremony was held at the entrance of the Cheon Bo Won and International President Sunjin Moon, Chairperson of the Hyojeong World Peace Foundation Yeon-ah Moon, General Director of the Universal Ballet Julia Moon, Chief of Staff and True Mother's Secretariat Wonju Chong McDevitt, and President of FFWPU for a Heavenly Korea and Chung Pyung Heaven and Earth Training Center, Giseong Lee, participated in this ceremony.
Vice President Myong-kwan Lee was the Master of Ceremonies for the Dedication Ceremony for Cheon Bo Won, which started from opening remarks and gyeongbae. When True Parents entered the Tree of Love Plaza, all the members who gathered there welcomed her with warm welcoming cheers. After that there was the offering of flowers (Chairperson of the Foundation for the Support of HSA-UWC, Seokbyeong Kim, CEO of the Sunwon Construction, Ho-bok Seong), then True Parents' benediction prayer and ribbon cutting. True Parents entered the first floor of the Cheon Bo Won and sanctified it; then all in attendance offered a bow (gyeongbae). True Parents departed, and there were closing announcements. True Parents gave a benediction prayer for the Cheon Bo Won, which will be recorded in human history as follows:
"Today, on the 18th day of the 7th month of the 6th year of Cheon Il Guk (August 28), we humbly appreciate and are much indebted by the grace you have bestowed on us. Awaiting fallen human beings, who were drifting about without names or without a light, Heavenly Parent took a path of bitter conflict for the manifestation of True Parents. There are many righteous people, especially among these chosen people, that Heaven can remember. The ancestors of this people may have been unworthy troops; yet for your sake, until their bones turned to dust, regardless of whether their souls were intact, they had one single mind toward you with unchanging fervent loyalty. Dear Heavenly Parent, the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind, how can you bestow such amazing grace on us today?
We are so unworthy of your great grace with which you are striving to embrace us, remembering our small devotion, and hoping to proudly say to our future descendants, "That was my son; that was my daughter." As we dedicate the Cheon Bo Won in front of Heaven today, for the proud victors of Cheon Il Guk who can be recorded here, we must look at it with the past, the present, and the future as well as Heaven and all humankind in mind.
We must be individuals and blessed families that have not a single flaw, who have fulfilled our responsibilities, and are unwavering and united with the spiritual and physical worlds on one point. When we reflect on these standards we feel so undeserving. However, because we have True Mother, the only begotten daughter of God, and the True Parent of Heaven, Earth and Humankind, until the day we die we will unite with Mother and will devote ourselves and strive even harder to reach those standards as Heaven desires. Father! Heavenly Parent! The True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind! We pledge this here where heaven and earth are one. Please accept our pledge. In all the days to come, may this become a hall in which a legacy may remain telling the proud story of unblemished forefathers and ancestors that cast no shadow. We earnestly and fervently hope that you may sanctify everything and accept our offering joyfully. I pray this in the name of True Parents, Aju"
