Beloved Heavenly Parent, we have now ushered in the New Year, 2013. We are deeply grateful to you for allowing the heavenly world and the earthly world to unite as one in mind and heart and solemnly begin this first day of the year in which we will celebrate the Foundation Day of Cheon Il Guk, in the presence of the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind.
Our Heavenly Parent, what a history of sorrow and grief You have had to go through to establish Cheon Il Guk!
To complete the history of the providence of restoration through indemnity caused by the fall of the first human ancestors, You have had to lead the providence of salvation and have Your heart rent by each and every one of the sacrifices and mistakes made by the providential central figures whom You established. How many tears of blood You have wept in the background of such history!
In particular, ever since the Coronation Ceremony of the Kingship of God was performed and Cheon Il Guk declared in 2001 on the foundation of True Parents' victorious realm, during the last twelve years we have lived each day as if it were a thousand years and a thousand years as if it were a day, begrudging every moment that passed and exerting ourselves to the utmost.
The era after the coming of heaven was proclaimed, and Cheon Jeong Gung was built on earth and dedicated to You, thus establishing on the rock of ages the ground whereon the Heavenly Parent could come to settle on earth. And in the presence of all of heaven and earth, enthronement and coronation ceremonies were performed through which the Heavenly Parent was liberated and freed.
Most beloved Heavenly Parent, with Foundation Day only twelve days away, we should repent with all our heart for all the responsibilities we have failed to fulfill until now. The True Family and the blessed families should become one under the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind and prepare a new environment in which we can give ourselves as living offerings for Cheon Il Guk in the realm of Shim Jeong, which is characterized by one heart, one body, one mindset and one harmony.
I declare that all members of the Unification Family across the world are resolving to become one with True Parents' will and to fulfill their mission as tribal messiahs at all costs, and to make a new beginning.
As we usher in the first year of Cheon Il Guk, in 2013, I hope and pray that the entire worldwide Unification Family, and all peoples, will open the gates to an amazing new era of peace and prosperity, in which the physical and spiritual worlds will overflow with heavenly blessings and the Heavenly Parent's great love.
All this we offer and request in the name of the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind. Aju! Aju! Aju!
After True Mother prayed and a video was shown of True Father writing the motto, she gave the following brief greeting:
The day long hoped for by the Heavenly Parent, the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind and all humankind has dawned. This is a message of blessing from True Parents to all people of the world on this first day of the New Year. May this year be one of hope begun in True Parents' great love.
