Joint Worship Service HC 4.13
Chung Pyung, Korea
Unofficial transcript from simultaneous English translation: Airenae Culvy

Today, it is Cheon Il Guk. By the Heavenly calendar, this is the second spring. Spring is the season of hope. Our dream... we can raise our dream into a very high place. Spring is such a season.

So, in this beautiful season, the news that we hear from around the world is filled with sadness and conflict that is truly tragic; as if this world is like a ship that has no caption, no compass. We are always in danger of crashing or sinking after meeting a violent storm, so insecure is this world.

When we look at these conflicts and violent problems, all the Blessed Central Families of Unification Church, and the warriors of Unification, we must rise. (applause)

We cannot just sit idle and wait without doing anything. The Blessings that we have received, we cannot keep as our own. Seven billion people who are suffering as orphans and, when we think about them, instead, we are the people that know that True Parents are the people that have come down to this earth to work with us. We have to let people of the world know that fact.

Therefore, in that light, I have relocated the world headquarters to Cheon Chun Gung... Through this, I have opened the age through which True Parents of Heaven, earth and Humankind can rule directly. This was completed yesterday; and, through this I have opened the age when True Parents of Heaven and Earth and Humankind can now rule directly. Is this not something for which we can be grateful.

This cannot stay as something for our own blessing. We need to resemble True Parents. We are such true children and we are tribal messiahs; and, when we fulfill this mission as true children and tribal messiahs, we will be at the position of true ancestors. In order to fulfill this responsibility, we have to rise. We cannot wait any longer.

Even at this present moment, there are still people who do not know that True Parents are here and alive; and, these people are alive and they are dying all around the world, countless people. Even though they live at the same time as True Parents, they do not know this Providential History. This is the first time that this has come about, after 6,000 years of suffering; but, they are still not in the position to receive this grace and blessing... and they just pass away tragically... These are our brothers and sisters; and, we have to think about them and when we do, we have to roll up our sleeves. We have to rise.

We have to proclaim True Parents to the world without reservation, and let them know that without True Parents, this world cannot survive. This is the only path that we, at this moment, this is the only way that we can return these Blessings that we have received from Heaven.

Therefore, I have divided the continents into the language zones; and, through this, all humanity, in the realm of one second, I want to give them a chance, an opportunity to participate in the heavenly providence.

So, for these continents, I have established a special agent who will help the task of restoring these continents. These agents, who are at the forefront, will help the humanity in testifying for the True Parents. The beginning ceremony for these people will begin, will be commence after this event.

So, all who are here today, please join your heart and set your heart so that you are also participating in this great even together. I would be grateful that you would set your hearts so that you are also participating in this great event together.

And this special task will truly open the season of spring for the whole world, until we reap the fruit, let us rise together.

I truly, sincerely ask for you to rise, as I conclude my speech. Thank you very much...

(Applause, Monsei and bow as Mother leaves the stage with Sun Jin Nim at Her Side.)

The Mission of Special Emissaries

On May 8, True Mother held a meeting of regional presidents at which she spoke about the mission of the special emissaries that she officially appointed three days later at the Joint Worship Service. These were some of her remarks about the special emissaries.

Note: This has been translate and edited by TP magazine team, and published in April 2014 issue of True Peace magazine.

I have looked at the world map dozens of times recently. I asked myself how I could create a united world that the Heavenly Parent desires and offer it in my lifetime. It was a painstaking effort. Hence, I decided to reorganize our regions by language groups. English is not commonly used in all nations. The other major languages are Spanish, French and Arabic. I could group the regions in this way but if we were more specific, we’d have more regions.

Two thirds of the world's population is in Asia. More loss than gain usually occurs when resources are equally distributed by region, so I plan to focus on Asia. India and China most represent Asia with 1.2 and 1.3 billion people respectively. What can we do with these nations? You might have heard but this is why I will be appointing special emissaries. I will give the same salary to each of these emissaries. I will tell them to use it as public funds. If they have a family, their wives should be responsible for the family.

Two women represented model mothers in Korea’s Joseon Dynasty. Korea’s ₩50,000 bill features Shin Saim-dang; she is one. The other is the mother of Han Seok-bong. She raised him well despite being poor. The scholar Han Seok-bong's hometown was in Gaeseong. He taught himself how to write calligraphy from the age of seven and is famous for his calligraphic skills. Not having the money to buy paper, he practiced writing on the ground after wetting it with water. Hence, you cannot say that you are unable to do something because you didn't have the proper environment.

This gentlemen passed the civil servants’ exam, went on to become a minister, and also served as the governor of Gapyeong. Don't you see the connection with us? As for families, mothers in particular, should go forward pioneering the future with the heart that Han Seok-bong’s mother had in raising her son.

I have repeatedly told you to become noble families. Becoming the originator of a noble bloodline is only possible while I am still alive. This moment is one through which you can reach the position of a forerunner and establish a noble family.

The special emissaries that I appoint should utilize foundations such as that of UPF or WFWP to have exchanges with the government of their respective nation or region. Only when you established connections with prominent figures can a nation be restored. Otherwise, when will it ever be restored? This is evident in the history of Christianity. Didn't the entire nation accept Christianity based on the decision of the top leader?

Can we say that we cannot do the same in this age? That is not acceptable. You haven’t been able to do so because of your inadequacy. Anyone inadequate must make effort to develop. You have to have hope. How many nations will we be able to restore by 2020? This is serious. Those who have been appointed special emissaries should become completely one with his or her regional president and move in concert with him. All the special emissaries will also be appointed as the vice heads of the Cheon Jae Won (Cheon Il Guk Foundation); hence, they should fully cooperate so that I can grasp each region’s problems at a glance. Do you understand? I had considered reducing the number of regions but instead increased it. I made Central America a separate region. I created the Great China region to concentrating our activities there, and I divided Africa into east and west.

I appointed someone who speaks French, because many nations are French speaking. As much as possible, I will appoint local members to central positions. Wouldn't that assure our future? I am saying that you, as people who are currently in charge, should raise your subordinates.

If your decisions, your devotion and the results you have gained can become eternal treasures of Cheon Il Guk, how precious is that? How blessed is the position you are in? Will you be negligent in carrying out your responsibilities? I can really be a difficult person. Still, when you see my face, do your hearts feel happy? Satisfied? I also want to be happy when I see your faces./

Let’s Work toward a Huge and Beautiful Harvest

True Mother delivered this message on the sixtieth anniversary of the founding of HSAUWC, May 1, to an audience of more than five hundred people including True Family members, church elders, True Parents’ relatives and heads of organizations at Cheon Jeong Gung.

Note: This message has been translate and edited by TP magazine team, and published in June 2014 issue of True Peace magazine.

The sixtieth anniversary of HSAUWC’s founding. When someone turns sixty, we can say that the remainder of the person’s life is a time to prepare for the life ahead in heaven more than for life on earth. If we regard the sixtieth anniversary of HSAUWC’s founding as a circle, like a growth ring on a tree, as growth rings do, those rings for 1950s and 1960s would indicate that these were the most difficult times for Korea.

Right after World War II and Korea’s liberation, Koreans expected the nation to be established again, but the surging Korean War brought the barely regained nation to ruin once more. No hope could be found. Yet, our Heaven Parent made necessary preparations, centered on Korea through the Christian cultural realm, to realize the promise he had made to the people of Israel two thousand years ago to send the Messiah in the Last Days. However, just as occurred two thousand years ago, when leaders did not know that the Messiah had come, Christian leaders, especially politicians and other top leaders in Korea that had absorbed modernism, were unaware that the Messiah had come. If the Christians in those days had become one with Father, the world would have changed. Sadly, the Christian foundation that Heaven had prepared took the lead in opposing Father. True Parents had no foundation to stand on as a result.

HSAUWC’s sixty years have been like the wilderness course. Now, True Parents have opened the new era of Cheon Il Guk as we start settling down in Canaan. However, what is your attitude toward this? How strong is your resolve? Are you confident? You have worked hard until now. You went through great difficulty, doing your best through the persecution you received from others in a challenging and unprepared environment.

However, when we look back on the past, we were still inadequate compared to those who were prepared. We had many inadequacies. Much trial and error took place in the process. Looking back on those instances, we need to make new resolutions. Do you understand? We must reflect on our mistakes from the past, reflect on our past efforts and lives of faith in relation to how we could not offer more to Heaven, and then truly repent.

Using these sixty years as a foundation, hasn’t a new era, a new providential age, begun thanks to True Parents? In this new era, mistakes like those we committed in the past are no longer permissible. Do you understand? We have True Parents’ absolutely perfect foundation with us. Just as was mentioned in the reading today, we have received special blessings thanks to True Parents. True Parents said that true love means to continuously give, to forget and to give again. This is how it is supposed to be. However, from your standpoint, you should be able to repay that in some form.

You should double your efforts to reach those people that have lived in the same era as True Parents but who still do not know about them. If you realize in the next sixty years what you could not do in the past sixty years, Heaven will bless you, regardless of your age. Originally, if humans had not fallen, our Heavenly Parent wanted to give us many years on earth in order to realize a culture of heart amidst God’s creation and to enable us to dedicate it to Heaven and return something to him for what he has done for us. This means that the lifespan of a human being isn’t sixty years. Do you understand?

Depending on how you act and live, I am certain that God will give you enough time to fulfill your responsibilities. Are you happy?

May is usually connected with spring. The providence and the entire Unification Church history begins from spring. Spring is a beautiful season that throbs with life and a time when hope can be planted and dreams cultivated. That is why True Father loved spring. I do too. I only know songs about spring. You should be grateful as you usher in this day. You are truly happy people. What kind of preparations does a farmer make to plant seeds in the spring? In order to gain a huge and beautiful harvest in the future, doesn’t the farmer cultivate his land with all his heart and plant seeds? This also applies to you.

You have a treasure that no one else on earth possesses. You have very important seeds, which I have given to you. What are they? The three great scriptures and the Cheon Il Guk Constitution. Do you know what a great miracle those are? Armed with those treasures, and depending on the type of plan you develop for this spring and whether or not you plant seeds, you can show the world such great power, power that even surpasses that of a natural disaster.

For the past few days, tornadoes have been hitting the mid-southern United States. They swept through five states. What happened to America? Why are such tragedies happening? You should become true owners and fulfill your responsibilities. You must educate the world. We are the only ones who know the truth. All politicians and those in leadership positions should learn. They should learn from you. This is the only way for the nation and the world to live. You are holding such tremendous power; yet, if you fail to yield results and have nothing to return to Heaven, you, who are living in this era, will not be able to hold your heads high in front of your future descendants or your ancestors. You will have nowhere to stand. Do you understand? Please do not forget how desperate this position—this very moment—is and how grateful you should be. I sincerely hope that you become people that live a life of practice./

In this new era, mistakes like those we committed in the past are no longer permissible. Do you understand? We have True Parents' absolutely perfect foundation with us. Just as was mentioned in the reading today, we have received special blessings thanks to True Parents. True Parents said that true love means to continuously give, to forget and to give again. This is how it is supposed to be. However, from your standpoint, you should be able to repay that in some form.

You should double your efforts to reach those people that have lived in the same era as True Parents but who still do not know about them. If you realize in the next sixty years what you could not do in the past sixty years, Heaven will bless you, regardless of your age. Originally, if humans had not fallen, our Heavenly Parent wanted to give us many years on earth in order to realize a culture of heart amidst God's creation and to enable us to dedicate it to Heaven and return something to him for what he has done for us. This means that the lifespan of a human being isn't sixty years. Do you understand?

Depending on how you act and live, I am certain that God will give you enough time to fulfill your responsibilities. Are you happy?

May is usually connected with spring. The providence and the entire Unification Church history begins from spring. Spring is a beautiful season that throbs with life and a time when hope can be planted and dreams cultivated. That is why True Father loved spring. I do too. I only know songs about spring. You should be grateful as you usher in this day. You are truly happy people. What kind of preparations does a farmer make to plant seeds in the spring? In order to gain a huge and beautiful harvest in the future, doesn't the farmer cultivate his land with all his heart and plant seeds? This also applies to you.

You have a treasure that no one else on earth possesses. You have very important seeds, which I have given to you. What are they? The three great scriptures and the Cheon Il Guk Constitution. Do you know what a great miracle those are? Armed with those treasures, and depending on the type of plan you develop for this spring and whether or not you plant seeds, you can show the world such great power, power that even surpasses that of a natural disaster.

For the past few days, tornadoes have been hitting the mid-southern United States. They swept through five states. What happened to America? Why are such tragedies happening? You should become true owners and fulfill your responsibilities. You must educate the world. We are the only ones who know the truth. All politicians and those in leadership positions should learn. They should learn from you. This is the only way for the nation and the world to live. You are holding such tremendous power; yet, if you fail to yield results and have nothing to return to Heaven, you, who are living in this era, will not be able to hold your heads high in front of your future descendants or your ancestors. You will have nowhere to stand. Do you understand? Please do not forget how desperate this position -- this very moment -- is and how grateful you should be. I sincerely hope that you become people that live a life of practice.
