True Mother spoke to young members at the Vienna Hilton Hotel on April 30, the same day as the Victory Celebration. This was her message to them that day.
Are you in the second generation? You should be proud of your parents. You must love True Parents, whom your parents love. I have spoken about many things in Europe but what I want to ask of you relates to those of the first generation, your parents, who in the most difficult environments, followed Heaven’s will with absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience. They stood on the front line, putting their lives on the line with this heart, working underground during the communist era. Mission Butterfly, I’m sure you have all heard about this. You must continue that tradition, so you can fulfil your parents’ wish, which going further, is Heavenly Parents’ wish and the wish of all humankind, to realize one human family that attends Heavenly Parent.
However, the situation of the world’s 7.5 billion people today is that many people do not know of True Parents’ manifestation. To live over a hundred years in your physical body is difficult. Yet after the Fall, even though people did not know the providence, their hearts were still pulled toward goodness and the four great religions emerged. More than attachment to their physical lives, they lived believing that the spiritual life, the life in the eternal world was even more important.
Learn from the past
From history, we can see this in the Egyptian culture in Africa. The pyramids... At that time, four thousand years ago, there was no method to construct them. There was no iron or cement. So, how did they raise the pyramids, which rise higher than fourteen stories?
Their kings, while they lived in their physical bodies were unable to leave behind great palaces like those in Europe. This was because those were made of dirt but the Pyramids, which they built for the future, were made of stone. This means that they lived with the concept that the spiritual world, the afterlife, was more important.
You must know this: It took the long period of six thousand years until the true parents with the title “True Parents” could emerge. Heavenly Parent went through a sad, difficult, sorrowful six-thousand-year history. Two thousand years ago, Jesus Christ emerged to become the True Parent who could give rebirth to humankind. However, the Israelites, figures in Judaism and Mary, did not fulfil their responsibilities. After the long period of four thousand years, Jesus, God’s only son, died on the cross after a short life. We cannot call this salvation. Do you know what he prophesized when he died? He prophesized that he would return. He said he would return to hold the marriage banquet of the Lamb. In light of that, if there are people who sincerely think of Heaven’s will, if there are religious leaders, they must pray about what this meant.
Jesus Christ, born as God’s only son, went the way of the cross unable to meet God’s only daughter. In the two-thousand-year history of Christianity, to give birth to the only daughter of God was Christianity’s responsibility.
Heaven does not reuse a nation that does not fulfil its responsibilities. Heaven must find a new nation that can fulfil those responsibilities. Who was born in 1943? [True Mother] That’s correct. God’s only daughter, True Mother, was born. You who were born and raised within the
Christian cultural sphere must now fulfil your responsibilities. You who have received the blessing and have been born into blessed families; you must enlighten those in Europe in the Christian cultural sphere that do not know True Parents have come. The way to educate them is through fulfilling your responsibilities as tribal messiahs.
As you know from the Principle, when Jesus died on the cross, the thief on the right supported Jesus. Hence, what did Jesus say to that thief on the right?
“Today you will be with me in Paradise.” Paradise is a waiting room to enter heaven. This means that heaven is a place for families to enter. Therefore, regardless of your age, you must fulfil your heavenly tribal messiah responsibilities. I am saying you must become national messiahs.
What I did at your age
Seeing you today, fifty-eight years ago, I was the same age or even younger than you. At that time, I decided that I must be the one to liberate Heavenly Parent and God. It is I who must do this.
Think about this. How old are you? [Twenty-one years old] If you are twenty, you are older than I was. At that time, if your partner had been a person forty-year-old, what would you have done? I had to welcome as my partner, a person who was like my father. Only I, after six thousand years, was born as God’s daughter. In light of that, shouldn’t I realize God’s wish? Even if it was a little difficult for me, I first thought of Heavenly Parent. Therefore, I didn’t mind and made the determination that I would do it. Nobody pushed me to do this.
So tomorrow will mark fifty-eight years. Do you love True Parents? If you love True Parents, shouldn’t you work to realize their wishes? This cannot be something that you do because you are pushed. You yourselves, [must decide] just like True Mother in the past made the decision and went through many difficulties in order liberate Heavenly Parent, to lay today’s foundation of victory. A sunflower, whether the sun is out or not, aligns in the direction of the sun. I ask that you become like the sunflower! Thank you. In coming to Europe, I have a happy heart and a heart full of great expectations that the next time I see you, you will report to me of your victories. I love you.
