From an era when blessed families alone could graft to the True Family's lineage during True Father's lifetime, True Parents, through succeeding in all aspects of the providence, have opened wide a new era through which the world's seven billion people, the Cain realm representing all people, can now be grafted to the true lineage of the True Family.
Through this, a new era has been opened, one through which the satanic lineage passed down to all people through the Fall of the first ancestors can be corrected and everyone can be saved centered on our Heavenly Parent and True Parents.
The door to rebirth centered on True Parents' teachings and tradition and not on the culture of the satanic world has been opened wide.
Through this Holy Wedding, we have assimilated the Cain realm based on the blessing standard and tradition that must be kept by our Unification community centered on True Parents who are the owners of the true lineage. Thereby, we have formed a foundation through which we can protect True Parents' teachings and tradition and through which the blessing centered on True Parents can embrace all seven billion people and be established on earth for eternity.
To make this possible, True Mother asked the brides and grooms to receive a special forty-day workshop. Mother herself prepared for the Holy Wedding with sincere prayers and conditions during this period. True Mother, in complete unity with True Father, had to particularly go through labor pains of re-creation to give birth to new life with Heaven's true lineage.
In addition, Yeon Jin nim, Jeung Jin nim and their husbands, whom True Parents welcomed after many conditions had been established, prepared for and received the Holy Wedding under the condition that they put aside everything during the forty-day workshop in Chung Pyung and maintain absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience centered on True Parents' teachings.

I would like to offer my humble opinion about the animated movie, The Little Mermaid, which we viewed with True Parents during Chuseok. I believe that the joint Holy Wedding of Yeon Jin nim and Jeung Jin nim was not a one-time event being permitted only for a member of True Parents' family; rather I see it as part of the final, conclusive and perfecting progress of the providence to save all humankind under the great victorious benefit bestowed in the providential history of salvation.
If we are to look at the Little Mermaid story, we find that the world of mermaids and the human world cannot meet. However, the little mermaid came to love a human prince and so entered a contract with a witch to sell her voice, which was as precious to her as her soul, to gain human legs.
Although her father, King Triton, had the power to give her human legs, he did not allow this because of the rule forbidding mermaids to meet human beings. Later, however, the king realized the love between his daughter and the human prince, and perhaps in recognition for defeating the witch, he acknowledged their love, gave his daughter legs, and allowed them to be married whereupon they lived happily ever. It was not that the parent did not have the potential to give his child legs; rather he did not do so because it was not the right time.
The words "true love" comes up in the movie. Once the time for the completion of providence comes to us, I think it will be a time where we will forgive all things with true love, love one another and unite. Recently, True Mother emphasized that we should "forgive, love and unite." She told us that we should disseminate these words like the "flu." I am convinced that all of this is happening because it is the right time. Now we are in an era where as long as we can unite with True Parents' true love, study their words and be born again, we can be reborn through the Holy Spirit and live to see the kingdom of God, just as Jesus promised Nicodemus.

Seeing True Mother so happy at the wedding ceremony today, I thought of the cross True Parents and the True Children had to carry because we, the blessed families, children from the Cain realm, could not fulfill our responsibility. I could not but lower my head and repent. I express my sincere gratitude to our True Mother who has again taken responsibility for everything and made this day possible, relieving our hearts from their burden.
True Mother said "I witnessed to two families from the first generation realm, and guided them with God's word. They have been born again. Today is your birthday." I realized that, once more, True Mother went through labor in order to save humankind and all blessed families.
Through this Holy Wedding, we have to realize that the authority of the blessing lies solely with the True Parents. We have to know clearly that True Parents have walked the path of suffering and sacrifice and set the indemnity conditions to satisfy both God and Satan, in order to give us the blessing. Through this blessing, a new era to restore and win over all humankind has been opened centered on True Parents. We are grateful that the gate of blessing, which is the gateway for all humankind centered on True Parents' words and tradition, has been opened even wider.

I would like to express that the very first thing I felt is that this is a miracle. I am grateful for True Mother's labors in creating new life and new families through the forty-day workshop.
A forty-day workshop is a long time. I believe that it would not be possible without True Parents' sincere devotion behind the scenes. It is True Mother's spiritual power that has made this glorious day possible. It was Yeon Jin nim and Jeung Jin nim's couples' wedding day but it is a day of glory for all members. This was a wedding that opened the way for the 7 billion people of the world.
I was very moved when I heard Sun Jin nim's testimony that True Mother personally guided and witnessed to the two grooms during the forty days. I felt deep love, seeing all the True Children testify to True Mother. I also felt Heaven working during True Mother's one hour of guidance for us on four thousand years of history.

Today was truly a festive day of harmony and blessing as we attended our Heavenly Parent and True Parents. The spiritual and physical worlds were united, centered on Cheon Jeong Gung. True Parents always had to move forward for the sake of God's providence and hence could not take care of their own children.
Therefore, we blessed families, as children on Satan's side, should have devoted our hearts and souls into creating a good environment for the True Children. However we were unable to fulfill that responsibility and I feel very sorry when I think that due to this, the True Children had to live very difficult and lonely lives.
Through this occasion, True Mother forgave us for not being able to fulfill our responsibility, embraced us with true love and gave us the great blessing and grace of spreading wide the realm of the True Parents' heart to all humankind. Only True Mother can do this. Therefore, I offer my heartfelt congratulations and gratitude to the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind, and to Yeon- Jin nim and Jeung Jin nim.
