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 Father's words. However, they do provide a good idea of the "spirit" of the message. -- Rev. Katsumi Kambashi
Mrs. McDevitt read Father's speech from the Sermon of the Rev. Moon volume 53, titled "New Messiah and the Providence as Formula." After the reading, Mother spoke. She spoke very slowly holding back her tears pausing between each sentence. Father listened to her with his eyes closed. Mother said:
"From the viewpoint of the providence, we are in the last moments when we need to make a conclusion. All of you are Blessed families, and what responsibility do you have? What is that? What do you need to accomplish on earth? What is God's wish? You have been following God's will, and for example, I heard yesterday 72 Blessed couples celebrated their golden anniversary, and so they followed God's will for half a century.
Then what can you say you have accomplished? Father often says 'Everything has been done. We are in the last moment.' How about you? Actually, when we look around, there is always a lot of incomplete work. We must put all in order and tie them to one center, however, each thinks and does their activities very individually. Before thinking if your behaviors accord with the center, it seems to me that you firstly think what you want to be and what you want to do. If so, we can't realize the heavenly world. All you do in your life such as breathing and starting a day must be connected to the center, and you must always become a plus to it. You must think, behave and practice that but it is a pity in that sense.
So what I want to ask you is that having Foundation Day ahead, you as the Blessing families, who attend to True Parents, must show results to them. How many times has Father emphasized that you should fulfill your responsibility as the Tribal Messiah? Father opened the way wide for you to go by allowing you liberate your ancestors so that we can unite the spirit and physical worlds, but to what degree have you responded to it? It is sad to see what Heaven expects is far from the standard you have now. Please don't think by yourself, but centering on Father, make efforts so that you accord with God's will, and make a larger environment where you can testify the center (Father). That is the kingdom of heaven on earth where we attend to God, and is our responsibility.
As Unification Church members, it is certain that we face a difficult time. But I believe you have clearly understood through 본체론교육 (education of the Original Substance of the Divine Principle) what Heaven wants to accomplish. Each one of you must do your best in your mission, but this is the last time. If you are put at the cliff and face a matter of life and death, what will you do?
In that sense, Hoon Dok Hae must become the time when 'myself,' 'my environments,' 'my church,' and 'my country' can grow bigger. Sometimes, Father, whom I guess couldn't have a common base with you, has it for more than 10 hours. I think he does so especially when he is here in Korea. What a shame Father has to do such a long meeting.
With the Foundation Day little time ahead, I would like to ask you to be the leaders and the Blessed families who make the best efforts and harvest big results for Heaven."
After Mother spoke, Father closed the meeting with the following words.
"I hope you, becoming God's sons and daughters, will be determined to fulfill the responsibility as owner in the Kingdom of Heaven. (Toward Mother) Difficult environments will be over. They will be over sometime. I hope you will not forget that you should complete at least your mission and responsibility before the time is over. Let's conclude the meeting this morning, and 안녕히들 돌아가세요." (Good night, go back)
