Note: These notes are taken from a Peace TV video clip. They cannot be published as definitive texts and should never be used in the future as an "official" publication of True Parent's words. However, they do provide a good idea of the "spirit" of the message. -- Rev. Katsumi Kambashi
True Mother spoke to the Korean National Messiahs and the former Boon Bong Wangs.
"Most of you who gathered here today are 60 to 70, 80 years old, aren't you? When I think of it, I would say that you, in your life course, are at the crossroads which is closer to the spirit world. Don't you think so?
The rest of your life, which is much shorter than the period you have lived, is now waiting for you. You are all like my age, and sooner or later we go to the spirit world and so I think we need to lead a life preparing ourselves for it.
In the early days, Father, working with you, gave you lots of words, and you are the ones who participated to some degree in all the works he unfolded. Looking back on those years, in front of Heavenly Parent's will and Father, we can't say that we have fulfilled our responsibilities.
More than six months have passed since Father's Seonghwa, and it has been almost one month after Foundation Day. But how have we been different? Foundation Day is, simply put, an unprecedented event since the beginning of the world. That is the day Heavenly Parent and humankind had been waiting for, but (holding back her tears) our foundation and we ourselves were so insignificant in front of Heaven. Don't you think so?
However it was true too that because of you we could hold such a day. But we can't afford being satisfied with that. First of all, we could not create a significant environment in front of Heaven and Father. I often say 'Creation of environment' (환경창조). Reflecting on the past, we are lacking so much in front of Heavenly Parent and our descendants in the future. This is surely true.
Our earthly life remains shorter than we have lived. I think we should become the ones who can respond to Heavenly grace and love, accomplishing in the rest of our life what we couldn't have done in the past.
Father especially proclaimed that Korea is the fatherland of Heavenly Parent. We should not leave his words unfulfilled. This nation should be the substantial Cheon Il Guk that we can offer to Heaven. What do we have to do for that sake?
When this nation is governed by Heavenly law which is beyond the national law, it would be easier to restore the rest of the world. It is true that we have many restrictions in our activities in many countries. But in the era of Cheon Il Guk that Heaven has opened, (when you have) the results which you will have had working with me for 10 years, 20 years or 30 years, Heavenly Parent would say to you 'You are great. It was you,' when you go back to Heavenly Parent. That is what I hope for.
Recently I have been intensively educating my grandchildren. Since Father and I have lived like we were in a war period, I couldn't create an environment for my children. But now I am doing the 'creation of environment' (환경창조)' for my grandchildren. A few days ago, I announced and gave to my grandchildren and all 2nd gens in the world the 'Prayer of the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind (천지인참부모 기도문).' It is '하늘부모님 감사합니다. 사랑합니다. 천지인 참부모님의 참사랑의 전통을 이어받는 효자, 충신, 성자의 도리를 다하는 축복가정2세 000이 되겠습니다. (축복가정3세 000이 되겠습니다.)'
'Heavenly Parent, I thank you and I love you.' I, (one's name), will become a 2nd gen (or 3rd gen) who inherit the tradition of true love established by the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind, and perfect the duty of filial son (or daughter), patriot, and divine son (or daughter).
(Katsumi: Mother didn't mention 'saint / 성인' in her speech.)
I told them to pray this way, which has the essential contents, every morning and evening, like reciting a mantra. I want them to think big.
We are now about realizing the hope and dream that Heavenly Parent had when creating the environment first and then Adam and Eve. But we can't say that we 1st and 2nd gens could fulfill our responsibilities in front of Heaven. We have been so insignificant and made many mistakes. But we have the last responsibility to fulfill. No matter if we are good or not good, there is Heavenly Parent who has a hope for us.
In 2020, let's offer to Heaven this nation, Korea, the fatherland of Heavenly Parent so that Heavenly Parent can proudly proclaim 'This is my nation.' Aren't you excited? Before you die, you can have a role in offering the fatherland of Heavenly Parent, and when you go to the spirit world, Father would say, 'Oh you came here now. You became the role model as a filial son (or daughter), a patriot, a saint, and a divine son (or daughter), obtaining great results doing your very best while attending True Mother. I am proud of you.' I would like to put you into such a blessed position, but will you do it? ('Yes.') Will you do it? ('Yes.')
I am determined to be finished as soon as possible with the Chung Pyung Project, before 2020. Will you help me? ('Yes.') First of all, we should make the 'Museum of the Life of True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind (천지인참부모 생애 박물관).' Also I would like to make the 'Cultural Center for 2nd and 3rd Gens (2세 3세를 위한 문화회관),' which is important for our descendants in the future.
After we make the wonderful museum, I, providing the expressway connected to the top of the Cheon Jeong Gung, want to see the crowds without a break from the ramp to the museum. That is my heart. Think big like that in order to have such a day in your earthly life. Do you understand? ('Yes.')
Then I hope you will do your best without listening more to me. In this era, the words '사생결단 전력투구 (risking one's life investing all)' must become a tasteful dish that you want to have every day. I said you need to lead a life of gratitude, didn't I?
We have been so lacking when we think what grace we received from Heaven. When you deal with all things with a sincere gratitude, peace, freedom and happiness come to you. Unification can take place. Do you understand? Hoping you will do your best, I will observe you with gratitude.
Father accomplished lots internally and externally and I want to trim and put them into order, and establish the tradition. I will make it perfect so that nobody can change it later.
You are happy people since I am here. Do you know that? ('Yes.')
