Most precious and high Heavenly Parent!

Because Adam and Eve, who were to have become the ancestors of all humankind, did not obey your will, for us to see this day, God, our Creator, had no choice but to lead the long providence of restoration through indemnity, in accordance with Heavenly Parent's principles of creation. It took God four thousand long years to carry out the providence of restoration through indemnity and finally send Jesus Christ to become the True Parent of humankind. But the people of Israel and Mary, who gave birth to him, were unable to fulfill their responsibilities. This resulted in Jesus going the way of the cross; yet, he promised to return. The blessed families who will receive the Blessing here today are the fruit of the blood, sweat, and tears You have shed during the sorrowful history of the providence of restoration.

Through Your ideal of creation, you wanted to love and embrace all people as Your children. Yet the ancestors that had responsibility failed to fulfill it, and two thousand years passed as we waited for the day Jesus Christ would return. Heaven, however, can no longer work through a people that fails to fulfill its responsibility. This is because such a people has indemnity left to pay.

It was only after 6,000 years that you were able to send your only begotten daughter, whom You could be called "My beloved daughter." As a result of this, in 1960, True Parents finally appeared. Therefore, until now, hundreds of millions of couples in the spiritual and physical worlds have been blessed and have expanded the realm that you, our Heavenly Parent, can occupy. Today, You have sent your only begotten daughter, the True Mother, to Africa, a continent hurting with much bitter pain, and to Zimbabwe, in particular, a country You love so much, to bless the virtuous men and woman gathered here today.

Fallen people cannot go to their Heavenly Parent without being reborn and resurrected through the grace of the Blessing given by True Parents. By this, I mean they cannot become Your children. Today's Blessing Ceremony is therefore an occasion in which people in both the spiritual and physical worlds are participating. I pray that through those who are receiving the Blessing today, everyone can know that today is a new start for a history that went wrong.

The blessed families who received the Blessing today have a responsibility. This is not just for one's family; each couple needs to become tribal messiahs that share the grace of the Blessing with their neighbors and tribes. Please bear in mind that the true owners of Zimbabwe, which has the meaning "the venerated house of Christ," are all of you who received the Blessing here today.

Our God above! How long have you waited and endured to see this moment! Now, starting from this place, the entire continent of Africa will become Heavenly Africa, centered on God and this nation will become Heavenly Zimbabwe. I ask once again that you lead the way in establishing the Kingdom of Heaven on earth, where blessed families live will with freedom, equality, peace, and happiness on earth, and with joy and glory in heaven. I pray and proclaim all of this in the name of the True Parents. Aju!

True Parents' Hyo Jeong Cosmic Blessing Benediction

Honorable Heavenly Parent! Adam and Eve, who could have become the ancestors of all humankind, did not obey your will. Therefore, for us to come to this day, in accordance with Heavenly Parent's principles of creation, God, our Creator, had no choice but to lead the long providence of restoration through indemnity.

God had to lead the restoration through indemnity for the long period of four thousand years to send Jesus Christ, the true parent of humankind. Mary, who gave birth to him, and the people were unable to fulfill their responsibilities and thus Jesus had to go the way of the cross and say he would return.

The blessed families who will receive the blessing here today are the fruits of Heavenly Parent's, God's blood, sweat, and tears during the sorrowful history of the providence of restoration.

The ideal of creation expressed God's desire to love and embrace humankind as his children. Yet the ancestors that had responsibilities did not fulfill them and two thousand years have passed as we longingly waited for the day Jesus Christ would return.

However, Heaven could not raise and use people that had not fulfilled their responsibilities. This is because the people that did not fulfill their responsibilities have indemnity to pay.

Thus, for the first time in six thousand years, Heaven gave birth to the only daughter of God who could be called "My beloved daughter." Through this, in 1960, True Parents came into being. Therefore, until now, hundreds of thousands of couples in the spiritual and physical worlds have been blessed and have expanded Heavenly Parent's realm.

Today, because of Heaven's love for Africa, which is filled with sorrow, and in particular Zimbabwe, Heaven sent God's only daughter, True Mother, to bless the good men and woman here today. Fallen humankind cannot be reborn and resurrected without going through True Parents' blessing nor can they stand before Heavenly Parent. This means they cannot become God's children.

Therefore, here, where you receive the blessing today, not only those in the physical world but those in the spiritual world are participating, too. I pray that you come to realize that through the people who receive the blessing today, all the wrongs f history can be reversed.

The blessed families who received the blessing today have responsibilities. This does not end with one family; you must become a tribal messiah who shares the blessing's grace for the sake of those around you and your tribe. Please bear in mind that the true owners of Zimbabwe, which has the meaning "the venerated house of Christ," are all of you that received the blessing here today.

O Heaven! How long have you waited and endured for this moment? Now, starting from this place, the entire continent of Africa will become heavenly Africa, centered on God and here will be heavenly Zimbabwe. I ask once again that you lead the way in establishing heaven on earth, where blessed families will live with freedom, equality, peace, and happiness on earth and joy and glory in heaven. I pray and proclaim all of this in the name True Parents. Aju!

True Mother’s Prayer at the Peace and Family Festival in Zimbabwe

The following is an official translation of True Mother’s prayer from November 21, 2018 at the National Sports Stadium in Harare, Zimbabwe during the Peace and Family Festival, Zimbabwe

Honorable Heavenly Parent!

Adam and Eve, who could have become the ancestors of all humankind, did not obey your will. Therefore, for us to come to this day, in accordance with Heavenly Parent’s principles of creation, God, our Creator, had no choice but to lead the long providence of restoration through indemnity.

God had to lead the restoration through indemnity for the long period of four thousand years to send Jesus Christ, the true parent of humankind. Mary, who gave birth to him, and the people were unable to fulfill their responsibilities and thus Jesus had to go the way of the cross and say he would return.

You who have received the blessing today have qualifications to go to heaven

The Peace and Family Festival, in Harare, Zimbabwe at the National Sports Stadium

You who have received the blessing today have gained the qualifications to go through the door to enter heaven. Human beings, whether in the past or the present, have longed for a united world of peace. Yet that dream is steadily growing more distant. The two hundred some nations that hold the 7.6 billion people of the world have borders.

The UN came into being seventy years ago for the sake of peace and unity, however, that UN has been unable to fulfill its responsibilities. We are living in a world today, in which conflicts and barriers between religion, ideology and culture are steadily increasing.

How can we achieve a unified world? We cannot achieve this with human efforts or human knowledge alone. This is why we must understand and know the creator of this universe, God. The blessing event today becomes the path for a united world. All the customs from the past must be discarded and humanity must find the path heading toward a unified world centered on God.

Several rivers converge to form a great waterfall and that great stream of water eventually leads to the great ocean.

There can be no hope in things that do not follow God's circular laws of creation. For the past two thousand years, since Jesus went to the cross, Christian culture has dominated the world. Yet, until now, Christians did not know Jesus' essence. They did not know who they should be waiting in order to welcome the Messiah.

Blessed families that have received the blessing today, I said that it is through the True Parents that we can have this today's blessing. What is the ultimate destination of Christians and people in other religions? If they wish for a peaceful united world, they must have the qualifications to attend our Heavenly Parent, the owner of peace. You who received the blessing today have received the qualification to be a citizen of Cheon Il Guk, the place where we Heavenly Parent can embraced us. However, with this comes with responsibilities.

European Christianity spread Jesus' name to the world. Yet they did not know Jesus. Jesus clearly said to love your neighbor as yourself. However, those who went out into the world put the interests of their own nations first and harmed many nations. In particular, they did many wrongs here in Africa. They were bent solely on fulfilling their own interests and the interests of their own nations.

The only ones who can correct the past wrongs in history are True Parents. Earlier I said several rivers converge to form a waterfall, which leads to the ocean. Likewise, all religions must head toward the same destination as well -- that great ocean. The people who can guide all religions to that great ocean are True Parents, and the only begotten daughter, the True Mother.

I pray that all the blessed families born here today will become eternal, true blessed families who can open the doors to the kingdom of heaven on earth and the kingdom of heaven in heaven.

You who have received the Blessing today have gained the qualifications to go through the gates of heaven. Both in the past and the present time, people have longed for a unified world of peace. Yet that dream is steadily growing more distant. The 200 or so nations in which the 7.6 billion people of the world live have borders.

The UN came into being 70 years ago for the sake of peace and unity, however, that UN has been unable to fulfill its responsibilities. We are living in a world today, in which conflicts and barriers between religions, ideologies, and cultures are steadily increasing. How can we achieve a unified world? We cannot achieve this with human efforts or human knowledge alone. This is why we must understand and know the Creator, God, who is the center of this universe.

The Blessing event today becomes the path to a united world. Humanity must discard all customs practiced up to the present time and find the path heading to a unified world centered on God. A number of rivers converge to form a great waterfall and that great stream flows toward the great ocean. There can be no hope in things that do not follow God's cyclical laws of nature.

For the past two thousand years, since Jesus went to the cross, The Christian culture has dominated the world. Yet, until now Christians have not known Jesus' essence. They did not know who they should be waiting for in order to welcome the Messiah.

Blessed families who have received the Blessing today, I said that it is through the True Parents that today’s Blessing can be held. What is the ultimate destination of Christians and other religious people today? If they wish for a peaceful, united world, they must have the qualifications to attend our Heavenly Parent, the owner of peace. You who received the Blessing today have received the qualification to be a citizen of Cheon Il Guk, the place where Heavenly Parent can embrace us. However, with this comes responsibility.

European Christians spread The name of Christ throughout the world. Yet they did not know Jesus. Jesus clearly said to love your neighbor as yourself. However, those who went out into the world put the interests of their own nations first and harmed many other nations. In particular, they did many wrongs here in Africa. They were bent solely on their own interests and the interests of their own countries. The only ones who can correct the past wrongs of history are True Parents.

Earlier I said several rivers converge to form a waterfall and then flow out to the ocean. Likewise, the destination all religions must head toward is one great ocean. The ones who can guide all religions to that great ocean are the True Parents. It is God’s only begotten daughter, the True Mother. I pray that all the blessed couples given birth here today will become eternal, true blessed couples, who can open the doors to the kingdom of heaven on earth and the kingdom of heaven in heaven.
