Dae Mo Nim said, ‘I offer utmost gratitude to True Parents who have given the grace to bring up the 2nd and 3rd generations beautifully through the Chung Pyung Works. Today is a really beautiful day. From now on, the parents of the spirits must meet each other very often and exchange joy with each other.’

After Dae Mo Nim’s words, the matched couples were announced. Parents of both sides showed the photos of their children to each other, talked about the reasons of their child’s ascension and share a really beautiful time. Parents of both sides and their family took commemorative photographs to remember this graceful and miracle day.

“It has been 4 years since my child’s ascension. It made me feel confident knowing that True Parents also had to send their child to the spirit world, however, it doesn’t mean that I haven’t shed tears for my child. I’m so grateful for Heung Jin Nim and Dae Mo Nim for the matching and blessing that they are giving to my ascended child. As Dae Mo Nim said, both sides of the groom and bride will keep in contact and exchange joy and happiness and try to live with joy. I offer boundless gratitude to True Parents of Heaven and Earth and Humankind.”
