"On the 2nd day of the "2017 Azalea Festival for the Inheritance of Heavenly Fortune, HyoJeong Chung Pyung Special Great Works", which was on 4.11 of the heavenly calendar in the 5th year of Cheon Il Guk (May 6, 2017 of the solar calendar), the "HyoJeong Prayer-Wish Offering Ceremony for Restoration" of the Inheritance of Heavenly Fortune was held at the Tree of Love Plaza in the Chung Pyung Heaven and Earth Training Center. True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind and tens of thousands of Church members from around the world participated in this event. This Azalea Festival was a really significant Great Works. In welcoming the completion period of the Chung Pyung Providence on Apr. 3, 2017, True Parents changed the name of the Wish Papers from, "Fulfillment of Wish Paper" to "HyoJeong Wish Fulfillment Paper for the Inheritance of Heavenly Fortune." True Parents allowed us to use a new type of Wish Paper especially produced with water-soluble paper. It will be used for the first time at the 2017 Azalea Festival (May 5-7). All Church members on earth and ancestors in the spirit world were moved by this amazing grace and were really grateful.

At part 1, True Parents emphasized the importance of Chung Pyung Providence as follows:
"Today, you all have gathered at a very important place. This place -- where you learned through the works of the holy spirit of Dae-Mo nim, who gave birth to God's only daughter, instructed you through difficulties, and guided you on the path of becoming devoted children to Heavenly Parent and True Parents -- is uniquely under True Parents' authority. That is why, those of you who have gathered here today, are at a connecting point of three eras.
You are in the place where you can become historic central figures and historic ancestors of human beings of the past, present, and future. Your responsibility is to liberate all your ancestors, the spirit world, who throughout history, until now, have been unable to meet True Parents.
I'm referring to ancestor liberation and ancestor blessing. Do you understand? That work cannot be done away from Chung Pyung. Do not forget that as God's homeland, this nation has the responsibility and mission to guide all the world's 7.4 billion people to Heaven's embrace. You must fulfill your responsibilities as tribal messiahs in your families. Looking toward the future, you have been given the opportunity to become ancestors that your descendants can be proud of for a long time.
I earnestly wish you to become proud, active workers for peace who will bind the world as one to create the kingdom of heaven on earth centered on God."
All Church members from around the world were moved by such hopeful words of True Parents and it filled their minds.
