On 7.19 of the heavenly calendar in the 5th year of Cheon Il Guk (Sept. 9, 2017 of the solar calendar), the HyoJeong Café dedication ceremony was held with 300 members with True Parents.
On this day, International President Sun Jin Moon, General Director of the Universal Ballet, Hoon-sook Moon, Director-General of FFWPUI HQ, Sung-il Cho, Deputy Chief of Staff, Young-ho Yun, President of FFWPU-Korea, Kyeung-seuk Ryu, Chairman of FFWPU-Japan Yong-cheon Song, National Leader of FFWPU-Japan, Eiji Tokuno and other world leaders including continental leaders, attended this ceremony.
At 10:25 am, True Parents arrived in front of the bridge connecting the HyoJeong Cafe and the Cheonseong Wanglim Palace to officiate the first part of the ceremony. The Dedication Ceremony was carried out by Vice President Myong-kwan Lee (Master of Ceremony) and The event then proceeded as follows: Opening Remarks, Bow of Greeting, Floral Tribute, and Unveiling Ceremony of True Parents' Cornerstone. They walked over the bridge and entered the 3rd floor of HyoJeong Café where they gave the sanctification. After this, they visited the HyoJeong Food Court on the 2nd floor, Jaemiin shop on the 1st floor and the Marina. They also sanctified the Marina, blessing the newly bought boat 'HyoJeong No.1'.
True Parents moved to the observation deck on the 4th floor to officiate the luncheon. This was carried out by the Master of Ceremony offering the following invocation:
"I believe that this Cafe will become increasingly meaningful. As it was built around the original sanctuary where, in the beginning, True Parents shed a lot of blood, sweat and tears. This wonderful building will remain in history forever, and I believe that it will become a place of pilgrimage for all peoples of the world to commemorate. I believe that while looking at the beautiful sky and nature, mind and body will be healed and resurrected and this place will be a warm nest for visitors, making them feel they are in mother's arms. For more than 20 years, True Parents laid out the foundation of Holy Spirit's Works with Heung Jin Nim, commander of chief in the spirit world and Dae Mo Nim. I believe this place will become the homeland of shimjeong (heart) not only for church members but also for the whole of humanity as True Parents directly preside over the world. I believe that all who visit this place will experience amazing miracles, as this place will be the hall of training and prayer, and the hall of True Parents' Words.
I am really grateful to True Parents who provided such a historical place. I would like us to share food to praise and welcome them. I would like to ask God to officiate this time from the beginning to the end. I prayed in the name of Myong-kwan Lee, blessed central family. Aju."
Then True Parents blessed HyoJeong Cafe with precious words as follows:
"You did a great job today. It will be a Holy Ground of the world. People from all over the world must come. Yesterday the HyoJeong Cosmic Blessing Ceremony was held. I created this environment where if you take a responsibility then you can be a historical person. You must fulfill your responsibility. I wish you all the best to be eligible to enter into the Cheon Bo Won (heavenly genealogy center)."
President Gi-seong Lee made a victory toast as follows:
"During the construction of this building, when True Mother made an order to them, they worked hard and as fast as possible, as if they were in a hurry for the war. They devoted themselves so much into completing this building so that we are able to dedicate this building today. I think that this kind of mind of HyoJeong will be the driving force of Vision 2020 victory.
Let's depart in the hope of Cheon Il Guk from today when we dedicate HyoJeong Café to Heaven. This place will become a nest for a couple of cranes to rest. HyoJeong Café will become a symbolic building to open the era of Pacific Civilization across the ocean."
The luncheon followed with performances from Chung Pyung Training Center team, a guest singer Uahan, Apple Heaven band and lastly Rev. Barrett of ACLC and Senegal Leader, Mansour Diouf sang several songs with a beautiful voice.
We could see True Parents' love and many participants were overcome by emotion when True Parents blessed HyoJeong Café which was built at the starting point of HyoJeong Cheonwon Chung Pyung Holy Ground.
