True Mother's words given by Ki Hoon Kim:
Thank you. Please be seated. So many people remember Reiner Vincenz. Many people around the world have been thinking about Reiner Vincenz without having met True Parents, still he was like one of tough and stubborn German brother, but he is very Blessed. And he met True Parents and disciplined by True Parents, he became not just one national leader from Germany. He is the world-wide, well-known leader. This is the great works of True Parents and great followers as Reiner Vincenz and Barbara Vincenz, they are great role models of Blessed Central Family.
I like to share about True Mother's message with this Cheon Seong Gyeong, Book 11, Chapter 4, about how we can enter the kingdom of heaven in heaven. "Love your brothers and sister in the church as you love God. Your path to heaven begins there. You love and follow me, yet I tell you should strive to love and help your brothers and sisters and walk alongside them with the same heart. Those who can teach you the quickest and best way to go to heaven are neither God nor I but your brothers and sisters. If you strive to love them with a love greater than their love for their parents or spouse, you will be chosen as the supreme subject partner of love."
This is True Parents message, "Love your brothers and sisters in your church, leading you to the entrance of the kingdom of heaven, neither God nor I. Your brothers and sisters in your church. Look around yourself. Who are here. So many brothers and sisters came across the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean remembering about the fantastic leadership of Reiner Vincenz, from Seattle and from New York, from Los Angeles, even Hawaii Kona Island.
Reiner Vincenz made us, attending us like True Parents. Be a great friend. Love one another, brothers and sisters in our community. This kind of action, this kind of life leads you to absolutely deserve your seat in the kingdom of heaven in heaven . This is what I was so impressed about True Parents' message in this Cheon Seong Gyeong, Cheon Il Guk Holy Scripture.
You see. Look around. People point one another, incite one another. Jesus taught 'Forgive seven times, what you heard seventy thousand times forgive your friend, brothers and sisters. What True Mother said last year when we celebrated True Father's Second Year Seunghwa Ceremony. She brought the same message True Father gave to this country America and American people, "Forgive, love, unite." This is True Mother's message ... better than that we point at one another 'Because of you' 'Because of you'... We divided like this. Don't point at others. Let them point to me myself. Because of me , we not unite, we not love one another. Why don't you forgive and love one another and bring them in one heart within God's Self, within ourselves, within True Parents' Spirit.
We all remember Reiner Vincenz, his life. How much he dedicated, how much he is loyal to True Parents. How much he has been doing very faithful action, not only thinking, or not only fasting, or not only imagination. He is very tough and very generous German-born general in our community.
Once again he brought... (together) brothers and sisters all around the nation and all around the world. He is general unified spirit of our community and marching forward.
I remember at the time of True Father's Seunghwa, the first thing True Mother mentioned to leaderships. We cannot stop here. We must marching on and marching forward for the sake of the Spirit of True Parents to fulfill the Will of True Father making this nation, this country the Cheon Il Guk. This is our targeted mission 20/20 by True Parents. We must come together, every brother and sister around the world, overcome any divisions , any division ideas like True Father did it, like True Mother did it last two years ...
Yes, time to time I share about Reiner Vincenz' condition to True Mother; and, on the way back to the Kona and airport, we'd been waiting over one hour and I shared (about Reiner) with True Mother. For the next few days maybe Reiner Vincenz will join in True Father's Heart. She had been meditating for a while. 'Yes, we need to prepare good Seunghwa Ceremony for the sake of Reiner Vincenz' life. And then after we arrived in Kona, and on the way to her residence in Kona Island in the car, True Mother shared 'Let us celebrate his life world-wide level. Many European leaders testified that Reiner Vincenz is the first member to join in the church from European nation and True Mother remembers Germany's Unification Church the last 50 years how they did for the sake of True Parents, for the sake of this country America, for the sake of the world.
True Mother mentioned to me America's debt to Europe. I was shocked. This was the first time I ever heard from True Mother that America has big debt to Europe. I thought maybe we have big debt to Japan, but I didn't hear about it like that. That means that True Parents are saying why our best leaders and best members, why our Unification Church is booming and True Parents called these European leaders to come to America for the sake of True Parents' providence and God's providence in this country America. Why do we call America God's blessed land? If not because of our ancestors, not because of the founding fathers 237 years ago. They risked their life. True Parents said that this country America was prepared by God 2,000 years ago, not just 200 years ago. This is the outcome of Jesus work in the last 2000 years. This is the message from True Parents; and, True Mother remembers the very long story and very deep story about European activities.
Have we heard about the butterfly? Not just that they are flying, but they are flying in underground mission country. One day one brother disappeared, the other day one sister disappeared in the church community. Everybody thought they left the church; but, however, they have a mission of butterfly, an underground mission testifying in a communist bloc country about True Parents, about God's message. This is their mission. These European brothers and sister had this kind of mission, incredible mission. They risked their lives. We have this kind of our church tradition. And one of them is Reiner Vincenz. When True Mother remembered about Reiner Vincenz, She remembered about all kinds of elders, and leaders and brothers and sisters from Europe; and, for the first time ever, True Mother initiated this kind of Seunghwa Ceremony on a world level.
Every day she shared about this Ceremony. Last night at the dinner table, True Mother was remembering about sending Bishop Kim and Farley and Betsy Jones as representatives of True Mother to here and we must remember how much Reiner Vincenz glorified the Name of True Parents and the Name of Heavenly Parents
So lastly, before I left Kona, we went out to lunch together with True Mother and after lunch, I thought she was going back to her home; but, she stopped by True Parents' favorite souvenir shop in Kona. Usually, True Mother and True Father know that inside the jewelry shop they have a pearl oyster, a place where you can break the pearl oyster (to get the pearl) One day's tour that place closed down because they went out of business, and then True Mother went to another place in the downtown area, a gift shop. She stopped by over there and called me close to her and we said 'Aloha! Aloha!' and then True Mother broke a pearl oyster. When True Mother broke this pearl oyster three pearls came out. Usually there is one. I have seen two; but I have never seen three from one pearl oyster.
Why did she do it? I'm thinking about this Reiner Vincenz and his family. So, True Mother made a very beautiful necklace and said 'Please give this to Lena Vincenz.' (Applause) So I'd like to invite Lena and Jared and Barbara Vincenz to come over here and receive this present. And True Mother said that True Father very much loved about the pearl. Why? Because it never changes. Pearl never changed. If you go back to Scripture in Matthew, the pearl symbolized Jesus Himself and pearls symbolized the kingdom of heaven. These three pearls are representing True Parents, True Mother said, this is representing True Parents and the Vincenz family (Lena smiles just then and has tears) True Parents and the Vincenz family become one. And always, always your dad did it as we testified with loyalty to Heavenly Parents and True Parents. Whatever True Parents said was so, he never discounted or negotiated but always moving forward with absolute faith so True Mother twice mentioned the representative of True Parents and your family. These pearls I've never seen before; but True Mother spent time for this and Jared you can help and put this pearl necklace to your wife. (Lena and her mother shake Bishop Kim's hand and Jared struggles with the clasp, Lena helps because he said 'It's very delicate' and he puts it on her and they take a lovely picture )
So, this is True Mother's Heart and this message was True Parents' message. Let us love one another, bothers and sisters. This is our primary mission and we have to work out. Our community must come in unity, centering on True Parents. Once again, Reiner Vincenz thank you so much for your great work and your life lesson to everybody. So, your lesson will be going down from generation to generation. God bless you and God bless you all.
