True Mother visited the Queen Gardens in Kona, Hawaii on June 28, 2013.
Archbishop Ki Hoon Kim represents the North American continent and American Family Federation church. He spent time with True Mother, Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon, in Queen Garden, Kona, Hawaii. This is from the 15th day of the Divine Principle workshop for some of the young True Grandchildren.
Today, June 28, is the 15th day of True Mother’s Divine Principle workshop for the third generation. Yesterday, True Mother spent a good deal of time walking the grounds of Queen Garden. In the evening, she meditated while watching the sun setting. Again, early this morning she walked Queen Garden before starting the day, a day on which she shared an important message.
After concluding Hoon Dok Hae, the True Grandchildren greeted True Mother and went straight to their first lecture. After lunch, the grandchildren swam at the beach and True Mother gathered the leaders to discuss the providence. Here are notes of what True Mother shared:
“There is little time left before the first anniversary of True Father’s Seonghwa. Now is the time to prepare both first and second generations for the future. If we are not prepared, life will become more difficult.
“Until now many of our second generation worry more about making a living than about practicing a life of faith centered on our church. From now on we must educate and raise members of the second generation who will focus on the next stage of our church’s future.
“During Father’s lifetime, he took responsibility for everything. Those who created a close relationship with Father are now in their 60s, 70s and 80s. There is a huge gap between them and our second generation. I need to straighten this out, put everything in place and build the tradition.
“Over the past ten months I have organized Father’s words and the tradition. It is part of the preparation. It is like processing a diamond in the rough, to make it into a splendid, radiant jewel. Since the start of the Cheon Il Guk era in 2000, all of True Parents’ words have been organized. We will complete the Cheon Seong Gyeong and Pyeong Hwa Gyeong (“Peace Messages”) and have them published, and within this year we will have prepared the Chambumo Gyeong (“True Parents’ Messages”).
True Mother spends time with some of her young grandchildren during the third-generation Divine Principle workshop on June 29, 2013, the 15th day of the workshop.
“I have established the Universal Peace Academy (UPA) because we have an urgent need to educate young leaders, who are in their 30s, 40s and 50s. In all of this, we need thorough preparation. We must settle as the years pass.
“America must quickly come to represent the future by raising and educating second-generation members with a new, revived and youthful spirit. We need second-generation leaders who can center on God’s will and move forward with a clear goal and a devoted heart.
“The reason True Parents have guided the American providence for 34 years was to empower America to take the front line for the restoration of all nations. Leaders did not understand True Father’s will, which is God’s will, and so True Parents had to overcome constant adversities. America must be a nation of which the world will be proud. The elder son and daughter must embrace their youngers.
“Father began the main providence when he was in his 40s. We must be grateful, be 100 percent united with True Parents, and be one with God’s will. If leaders care for the members as a parent cares for their child, the members will respond. We must educate our younger generation in the tradition of living for the sake of the world and for others. Please demonstrate to the Americans the right way of action and behavior.
“I want leaders to learn Korean and gain proficiency on the Internet, so that we can use it as a tool for development.”
