Mother Speaks to Missionaries
April 21, 1975
EVERYBODY, HOW ARE YOU? (in English)
I'm here. You have been blessed with much words and there have been many speeches, so please don't record my speech. As soon as I arrived here I was told by Mrs. Choi that you predicted that I was coming and you were waiting for me. In fact, there were many reasons that commanded me to be back home so that I could not come, but Father encouraged me to come and I'm here, so I'm going to talk a little something to you.
Today is the fifth day of the birth of Quon-jin. I don't know whether or not he was conscious of us leaving, but the other time we left he was very restle and didn't sleep well. The same last night. The reason why I'm saying this is because you don't understand how much Father loves you. You are loved by him to such a degree that our immediate children are jealous of you. Sooner or later you will experience the same thing. We have many blessed couples. At a certain period of time you will experience having children. There are many bachelors and virgins and you will have that experience in the future days, then you will understand me. Well, after giving birth to the eighth child, I feel a little feeble so I can't come to meetings with Father so much I want you to understand.
If you really understand the real depths of the Divine Principle, you will understand that Father is going the course of Jacob. so you will understand that I must give birth to 12 children, I guess. This is a funny story but you know that birth control in the world is prevailing, so whenever I visit the hospital, they warn me about having too many children. In America I had a woman doctor last time and she wanted me to bring my husband. I asked her why; I knew she was going to talk about birth control. It's a funny story, I knew you would understand, so I told you about it.
So, soon you are going to leave to your countries and you are going to play the roles of father and mother to your countries, so I'm going to tell you a little bit of my experience of being a parent.
Whenever I look into the face of the baby I feel cleansed inside. I feel like he's looking through to my mind. Parents can't become bad, something like that, Whenever the baby cries extraordinarily or is uneasy or is sick, I always look into myself and see what I have done wrong. The reflection always comes there, Then I always feel that God is with me and is sympathetic with me. Whenever you witness to the people in your homelands, you must have the heart of the parents to them; you must take care of them and know what they feel and if you really love them in the position of the parent to them I know you will be completely successful there. As you may know, Father really loves you people. Early this morning in the dark Father got up and kept saying, "I must go to Barrytown. I must go to Barrytown and see the people."
We are busy because we are leaving this evening to get a plane to Los Angeles, so we have many things to do and I must take care of the children and meet their needs, but he kept pressing me to go and encouraging me and so here we are.
By the time we get back, I think you will be gone, but you remember we are always with you and Father is loving you so much that he can't leave you but lives with you in spirit. So be confident and work hard and raise as many Chi1dren as Possib1e.
Well, more precious words are coming from Father so I will stop but please don't forget that your Parents are with you always wherever you go.
