Re: Ascension of Hyo Jin Moon
We ask that all Blessed Families and members join in prayer at this time upon the occasion of our beloved elder brother Mr. Hyo Jin Moon's passing into the spirit world.

1) Hyo Jin Nim's Passing and Special Calligraphy of True Parents
Mr. Hyo Jin Moon passed into the spirit world on the morning of March 17, 2008, due to a heart attack (myocardial infarction). True Parents wrote a special message for him:
Shimcheon Kaebang Won Choonghyo Kaemoon Joo
which can be translated into English (approximately) as "He will open and liberate the deepest heaven and turn it into a flower garden as the lord who opens the gates of loyalty and filial piety."
2) Special Prayers to be held in Belvedere, Washington DC National Cathedral and all District Headquarters Churches.
Each District Headquarters will create a special altar and organize continuous prayer during this time. A special service will be held at each location corresponding to the time of the Seung Hwa Ceremony in Korea (Korea time: 7:00 AM, March 19th - this corresponds to 6:00 PM Eastern Time on March 18.)
