May 8, 2012 falls on 어버이날 (Parents' Day) in Korea, and prior to the meeting True Parents cut the cake, Hun Suk Nim and Yeon Ah Nim offered flowers, and Kook Jin Nim holding Shin Pyeon Nim and Hyung Jin Nim offered gifts for them.

Mrs. McDevitt read Father's speech from the Sermons of the Rev. Moon, titled "International Circumstances and Our Responsibility," given on Nov 7, 1971.

"It is 동서남북 (east, west, south and north), not 서동북남 (west, east, north and south). Also it is 오대양육대주 (the five seas and six continents), not 육대주오대양 (six continents and five seas). The seas must come first. (Our first training center is located at) 수택리 (水澤里 Sutaekri).

(Katsumi: '수' means 'water.' Father often says we must spiritually wash ourselves there.)"

"조국광복 (祖國光復 / restoration of fatherland). It means the fatherland sees the light again. Where did this word come from? When and where did we have the fatherland? It is Oct. 3 when we proclaimed our fatherland that represents heaven and earth. (Showing his notebook) This is the only notebook which records things regarding Oct. 3. (Then Father took out from the notebook two photo cards of True Parents). If you don't have them, you can't be a heavenly citizen. Who has them here? Anyone who has these knows where their hometown is. (Showing the photo card which has True Parents in holy robes with crowns) This is the photo of our wedding when we became kings. (Putting the two cards together) Do you have these or not? Japanese and Koreans held the 6516 Couples Blessing (in 1988). "

"Which comes first, man or woman? Answer to me. Did a woman start to resemble a man or a man start to resemble a woman? ('It is the woman that starts to resemble the man.') Is it true? Night symbolizes woman. Then why do they say 밤낮 (Night and day), not 낮밤 (Day and night)? Why 동서남북 (east, west, south and north), not 서동북남 (west, east, north and south)? The west symbolizes a woman and the east symbolizes a man. Why is the eastern culture the subject partner?"

"Do you know this? In the Unification Church, I am to educate the Blessed families, and I can't educate those who don't know the Blessing. (통일교회에서는 축복한 사람들을 선생님이 가르치게 되어있지, 축복을 몰랐으면 가르쳐줄수 없습니다). Did you come here with the full understanding of the Blessing?"

"What are 'words'? It is words that can be the mother of the cosmos. (우주의 어머니될 수 있는 것이 말입니다.)"

"Absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience. Why does love come after faith? Who said to have the absolute obedience? There is no King in Korea. Say 은진미륵 (恩津彌勒/ Eun Jin Mi Reuk; a stone statue of Buddha in Eun Jin, Korea, made in 967 AD). It is 은 (Eun) and so it isn't gold. (Katsumi: Father thinks of the Chinese Character 銀 instead of 恩 for 은 / Eun, which means 'silver') Also it is 미륵, not 왕륵. (Katsumi: Father thinks of the Chinese Character 未 instead of 彌, which means 'not yet.' '왕 / Wang' means 'King' and so Father means 'King Buddha' by '왕륵'.) So 은진미륵 (Eun Jin Mi Reuk) is a false king. It should be 금진왕륵 (Katsumi: '금 / 金 / Geum' means 'gold.') King is the substitute of God."

(Reading the speech title) "천지인 참부모정착 실체말씀선포 천주대회. These are actually reversed in order. After the proclamation of the word of the Truth Body at the cosmic assembly, the firm settlement of the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind is realized. Did you know they are reversed?"

(Katsumi: With this important explanation of Father, the English title of his speech would be 'Cosmic Assembly of the Proclamation of the Word of the Truth Body for the Firm Settlement of the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind')

"In February when I was 17 years old, Jesus came to me saying 'Mr. Yong Myung Moon. Let's go to the Blessing.' I didn't know the term Blessing yet at that time, which means the marriage."

All sang "저 높은 곳을 향하여" (Higher Ground). 

The Time Will Come When the Fatherland Dawns Bright

358 leaders in Korea with a public mission participated at the meeting on that day.

Mrs. McDevitt read Father's speech from the Sermons of the Rev. Moon volume 49, titled "조국이여 밝아오라! / Dawn Bright Our Fatherland!" which was given on October 9, 1971.

"What was the title of my speech? ('Dawn Bright Our Fatherland!') It means that even if I don't wake it up, the time will come when the fatherland dawns bright. It means that even if I don't prepare for that, the dawn of the fatherland will come. The person who is here has already lived for 93 years. The time has already passed when I can say 'Dawn bright our fatherland!' In order to conclude God's providence by indemnifying the failure of Adam's family and seeking for what Jesus missed, I had to be determined to restore those by myself and started my course pledging to have the dawn of it in my lifetime without fail. We have to establish the third fatherland. You have the providential mission of going all out for it even by sacrificing the whole, and you, as the owner, have to be determined that you indemnify the mistakes of the past."

"I came back here from Las Vegas and said '조국 광복 / 祖國 光復 / Restoration of (the independence of) the fatherland'. How miserable it is to have said such words. How many thousands of years have passed for '광복 / restoration (of the independence)'? Many years have passed. Many years. It is a huge problem that nobody knows clearly about the restoration of the fatherland."

"What you can be proud of as a Unification Church member is that I have provided eight text books and teaching materials."

"What I am talking about now is 참부모님 정착 (Firm Settlement of True Parents), not 참부모님 안착 (Safe Landing of True Parents)."

"There is the Cheon Jeong Gung in Chung Pyung, which by itself, brightens the fatherland. So the process of the dawn of the fatherland has already passed because we see, live and move in there. Therefore we can't say that we must try to have the dawn of the fatherland again. Cheon Jeong Gung itself has appeared like the lighthouse that symbolizes the victorious hegemony, which nobody in the world can deny. (This place won't disappear) even if someone explodes it. I will establish the ideal of the Cheon Jeong Gung in my hometown as well, which is the house of 80 million people (in the Korean peninsula.). This is my conclusion. Is that true or false? (To Mother) If you think that is true, raise your hand. (Mother raised her right hand) Applaud her. (Applause)"

"Am I a person whom you know well or you don't know well? ('Person whom we know well.') How do you know me well? Centering on tradition one should have the same blood lineage. They shouldn't be separate but must be one. Then children can't help but follow their parents becoming filial children and forming their families through the Blessing.

"After the firm settlement of the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind (천지인참부모 정착), what will happen? It is the proclamation of the Substantial Word of God (실체말씀선포). It wouldn't be necessary to leave to you the Substantial Word of God. Because everything has been done in perfecting the family of the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind. Then comes the 'Cosmic Assembly (천주대회).' This doesn't mean that I tell you to do it. The cosmic assembly has already been done. The firm settlement of the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind has been done, the proclamation of the Substantial Word of God has been accomplished, and we went beyond the cosmic perfection."

"The number of people who were born on earth and have gone on to the spirit world as of now is 7.2 billion couples.

(Katsumi: I think the number Father mentions here is the current population of the world.)

But in my eyes, there is nobody. Have they lived with (True) parents? They couldn't. Have they worked together with (True) parents? They couldn't.

(Katsumi: I think what Father wants to say here from the heartistic viewpoint is that for Father, even if they are on earth it is like they do not exist.)

Can they, who couldn't work and live with the parents, be qualified t o participate at their wedding celebration? There wouldn't be even one person."
