On the 50th Anniversary of the founding of our world movement True Father said,
It seems like yesterday that on May l, 1954, in a humble dwelling known as the "House of Three Gates" in Seoul's Buk-hak Dong, I and a few disciples who were with me raised a signboard that read "Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity" and offered a most serious prayer to Heaven. Today, this has become the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification, which continues its steady development and has mission headquarters in 191 countries. How could anyone say that this is anything other than a miracle of Heaven? I received God's call when I was a vibrant youth of 16 years, and started out on this path of Heaven with unbending determination. It has been a path of indescribable pain and suffering. At each climax of indemnity, sacrifices were made that led to pools of blood, sweat and tears. It was the path of a lonely man. I swallowed desperate tears of blood and hid them within myself to comfort the heart of God, who was grieving over the tragic situation of the son He had sent forth.
My life of over 80 years has been lived to teach the truth that I received from Heaven. As a way of summing up what I have taught, I would like to speak today on the topic of "God's Homeland and the Peace Kingdom Are Built on the Foundation of the Realm of His Liberation and Release." Distinguished guests, everything I have ever taught is permeated with one point above all else. That is that we must know God and spirit world with certainty... Heavenly fortune is with each of you present here today. Though our time together is short, you can become people of the Kingdom of Heaven simply by living according to what I have taught you today. That is, first live in the certainty of God's existence to the point that you can feel His presence against your skin. Second, be certain of the reality of the spirit world and use your life on Earth to prepare for your eternal life in the spirit world. Third, live in attendance to your conscience as you would your teacher, your God, or your parents.
