Cheon Jeong Gung Prayer Hall
Our awe-inspiring Heavenly Parent! In order to realize your dream, you manifested the Creation and created Adam and Eve, who were to become ancestors of all human beings.
The principle behind the Creation called for human beings to become one with you. If Adam and Eve had fulfilled their responsibilities and become the very first ancestors of humankind by attending Heavenly Parent the world today would not be in its present circumstances.
However, due to the Fall, Heaven has endured a long, six-thousand-year history filled with resentment and grief.
Yet you held on to your original ideal of Creation, so you endured, longing for the day the human ancestors would appear and liberate you.
For the first time in six thousand years, in 1960, the term, “True Parents,” was manifested on earth through the only begotten son and daughter that You raised. However, even though True Parents had many miserable days owing to their having to begin from the very bottom and climb up through the eight stages (because the Christian foundation, which had been prepared for two thousand years could not create an environment or become a ladder) True Parents still bore many blessed children.
These blessed children, who are in Satan’s realm of power, have the responsibility—centered on True Parents, with absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience—to multiply in a position united with their True Parents. Yet, even before fulfilling that responsibility, they have looked after themselves alone and wavered in that (satanic) environment. True Parents’ hearts break when they see their children living such a life a faith.
Heavenly Parent has supported True Parents’ wish with compassionate grace once more to establish a realm of God’s homeland where all human beings can become blessed children. As blessed families and true citizens of Cheon Il Guk, which You have settled anew on an established standard of faith at high noon, we will become blessed children who fulfill our missions and responsibilities.
Please bless this occasion so that these blessed children may engraft as unified children who fulfill all our responsibilities in the presence of True Parents’ efforts to embrace the 7.3 billion people, which is the hope of our Heavenly Parent. To bless this day, once again, in the name of True Parents, may we be reborn through these holy items graced with Your compassion and become true children who can go to the eternal original homeland with no shadows and no trace of even the smallest satanic realm.
May all the children of our unification families all over the world realize that these holy items bestow your blessed grace and may they joyfully appreciate you. May we become children who do our best to fulfill our responsibilities so that your children, the 7.3 billion people, who will remain in your proud history—can be embraced within True Parents’ bosom.
In hopes that you will once again oblige us with your compassion, I bless these in the name of True Parents. Aju.
True Mother then said to the members present:
This holy salt is special. When a blessed member nears the end of his or her earthly life and is about to ascend to the spirit world, the member should repent to purify any wrongdoing. This holy salt should be used in a special ritual during the Seonghwa Ceremony so that the person can ascend in the original state of Adam and Eve at the time of their creation.
Providential Background to and Purpose of Bestowing the Four Holy Items

Providential Background
A. On February 2 (1.13 by the heavenly calendar) in 2013, True Parents hosted the Cheon Il Guk Foundation Day Registration Blessing Ceremony. Through this blessing, True Parents unconditionally bestowed the grace of returning to the original garden of Eden. Through True Parents’ unconditional love, blessed families could return to the era of Heavenly Parent’s direct dominion and take the path befitting the era of Cheon Il Guk.
B. The True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind proclaimed Vision 2020 to enable the settlement and firm establishment of Cheon Il Guk. Three key policies were announced for this vision, namely, “witnessing,” “creating an environment for witnessing,” and “raising future talent.” Furthermore, True Parents have been leading the providence to restore all humanity through heavenly tribal messiah activities. In particular, following True Father’s ascension, True Mother offered profound devotion for three years in a state of absolute oneness with True Father. True Mother offered this devotion on behalf of all humanity and participated in the last measure of filial devotion that True Father offered to our Heavenly Parent. Furthermore, on the foundation of these devotions, True Parents hosted the historic third anniversary of Foundation Day centering on True Parents’ holy birthday.
C. True Mother instructed that we celebrate the joint holy birthday of the only begotten son and only begotten daughter as well as True Parents’ Holy Wedding. These celebrations helped members reminisce on the meaning of these events. During the fifty-sixth anniversary of True Parents’ Holy Wedding (held on March 16, 2016), True Parents bestowed the Cheon Il Guk holy wine. True Mother explained that through this special holy wine, blessed families should completely purify themselves for the lives they have led since the Cheon Il Guk Coronation, resolve to improve and make a new start through the four years of hope for the victory of Vision 2020.
D. In order to forgive and embrace blessed families once more, True Parents had to bear an unimaginable cross of love. Let us remember this special grace bestowed by True Parents through this special holy wine ceremony, repent for past mistakes, and express our gratitude by contributing to Vision 2020 through victorious heavenly tribal messiah activities.
Purpose in bestowing this grace
1. Cheon Il Guk Holy Items of the perfection level: True Parents made the very first holy items during their Holy Wedding on March 16, 1960 and bestowed them at the formation level. On June 13, 2006, True Parents presented us with holy items at the growth-level through their victorious Coronation and Entrance into Cheon Jeong Peace Palace. Finally, during the fifty-sixth anniversary of their Holy Wedding, True Parents bestowed Four Great Holy Items of Cheon Il Guk at the perfection level.
2. This grace will enable us to be reborn in the original garden of Eden and enter the eternal original homeland (Bonhyangwon) in a state of ninety-degree alignment with Heaven and without any satanic traces or shadows.
3. This blessing is a special grace that will enable us to become true children.
4. Moses received the tables with the Ten Commandments, an unchanging symbol from Heaven, while praying and fasting for forty days in the wilderness on Mt. Sinai for the sake of the Israelites. Likewise, the Four Great Holy Items of Cheon Il Guk are heirlooms to be cherished by all citizens of Cheon Il Guk. They have been bestowed on us as symbols of Heavenly Parent and True Parents as well as a special grace that will retain heavenly fortune and stop all satanic intrusions.
