Dear Brothers and Sisters,

I just received word form our Senior Pastor, Rev. In Jin Moon, in Korea that our True Father passed into the spiritual world at 1:54 AM Monday, September 3rd, Korea time.

Once again, thank you for all of your prayers and let us now continue to pray for our True Father and True Mother.

At this time, it is important that we are absolutely united with our True Mother's direction as we prepare worldwide for True Father's Sung Hwa. Please stay in close touch with your District Pastor as we receive official direction from Korea from this moment forward.

Thank you and God Bless you,

Rev. Joshua Cotter

The Latest News About True Father

Beloved brothers and sisters of the Unification Family throughout the world, I would like to inform all our brothers and sisters who are on the alert for updates on True Father, concerned and worried even at this moment while offering intense Jeong Seong, that True Father has safely arrived at the Cheongshim International Medical Center in Chung Pyung.

Yesterday (7.14 by the heavenly calendar / August 31, 2012) True Father departed the Seoul St. Mary's Hospital at 6:40 PM and safely arrived at the Cheongshim International Medical Center at around 7:40 PM. As I had earlier informed our members, True Father's doctor, Dr. Chun, and Dr. Kim, who is in overall charge of patients with respiratory disorders at the intensive care unit of the St. Mary's Hospital, accompanied True Father in the ambulance and oversaw the entire process of the transfer. Two veteran nurses who were exclusively in charge of True Father at the intensive care unit at St. Mary's Hospital and Chairman Kook Jin Moon, representing the True Family, were also in the ambulance and, while offering Jeong Seong, stayed at True Father's side all the way to Cheongshim Hospital.

After arriving, True Father was brought to the special room (a private room for True Father's use) at Cheongshim International Medical Center. The doctors and nurses who accompanied Father from St. Mary's Hospital and the doctors and nurses at Cheongshim International Medical Center were of one heart and mind in safely preparing True Father's room, bringing in the machines that were used at St. Mary's Hospital and setting them up alongside the facilities at Cheongshim Hospital, which had been prepared to perfection.

Brothers and sisters, True Mother earlier (on 7.1 by the heavenly calendar) clarified that what is important to us at this time, and what we should be doing more than anything else, is offering Jeong Seong for True Father, rather than simply focusing on the details of Father's health condition. Let us therefore continue to offer prayer and special Jeong Seong without interruption so that our Jeong Seong can reach Heaven and True Father's physical body can miraculously recover.

With this message, the daily updates on True Father's condition which I have been sharing with you will be tentatively suspended. I will immediately convey updates to you in the event of any special occurrences in the course of True Father's treatment.

Thank you.

To all members of the Unification Family worldwide:

I thank you for your tremendous offering of Jeong Seong for True Father's recovery and continued health.

This morning, True Father's condition has not changed much since yesterday.

Currently, many members around the world are praying for True Father's recovery and are offering Jeong Seong in various ways. There are members who are offering vigil night prayers as well as 120-day gyeongbae bow while doing a three-day and even forty-day fast. There are also congregations that have made thirty-thousand paper cranes, offering Jeong Seong for each crane they make with the single desire for True Father's recovery. Furthermore, we have been flooded with messages and letters wishing for True Father's recovery from many Christian ministers who are members of the clergy association in the United States. I think this is because they remember True Father's tearful life that he has lived for the sake of Heaven and all of humankind.

I am convinced that your precious Jeong Seong will gather and accumulate and aid True Father in recovering his health. I pray that you continue with this special Jeong Seong.

Thank you.

To all members of the Unification Family worldwide: I offer my sincere and heartfelt appreciation for the special Jeong Seong that you are offering day and night for True Father's recovery and continued health.

This morning, True Father's condition has not greatly changed but continues to show slight improvement. True Father still remains in sleep and under treatment at the intensive care unit, and continues to battle his illness each moment.

I ask brothers and sisters to continue with their special Jeong Seong so that True Father can recover even one day sooner.

Thank you.

Below is a letter from Dr. Joon Ho Seuk, the International Vice-President

To all members of the Unification Family worldwide:

Thank you for the special Jeong Seong that you are offering with the single-minded hope for True Father's recovery and continued health. This morning, True Father's condition this morning has improved slightly compared with yesterday.

His dependence upon the artificially supplied oxygen is diminishing little by little, according to what the doctor said. This, I believe, is a result of True Father's firm will to overcome his illness and recover for the sake of providence while battling his illness each moment, and also because of the members of the True Family beginning with True Mother and True Children who are looking after True Father twenty-four hours a day without leaving his side, and the fervent Jeong Seong being offered by all of the Unification Family with one heart.

To all members of the Unification Family worldwide,

Thank you for the special Jeong Seong that you are offering with the single-minded hope for True Father's recovery and continued health.

True Father's condition this morning has not changed greatly but continues to improve gradually. However, True Father still remains in sleep and under treatment at the intensive care unit and continues to fight against his illness every moment.

In her message on 7.1 by the heavenly calendar, True Mother clarified that what is important to us at this time, and what we should be doing more than anything else, is offering Jeong Seong for True Father, rather than simply focusing on the details of Father's health condition.

I remind you again that this week will be most important; thus, I ask for your continuous Jeong Seong so that True Father can recover as soon as possible.

Thank you.

To all members of the Unification Family worldwide, Thank you for the special Jeong Seong that you offer with all your heart and body for True Father's recovery and health.

True Father's condition this morning has not changed greatly, but is showing signs of slight improvement. We were informed that his blood pressure and pulse are stable.

This, I believe, is a result of True Father's firm will to overcome his illness and recover for the sake of providence even though it is a difficult struggle, and also due to the fervent Jeong Seong being offered day and night by all of the Unification Family centering on True Mother and the True Children.

However, True Father still remains in sleep and under treatment at the intensive care unit. Once again I ask for your continuous Jeong Seong during this important week so that True Father can recover as soon as possible.

Thank you.

Thank you for your ongoing Jeong Seong and ardent wishes for True Father's recovery and health.

True Father's condition this morning is the same as yesterday. At this time he remains in sleep and is still being treated at the intensive care unit.
