The Words of the Hernandez Family |
Dear Family,
True Father has stated that all Blessed Central Couples and their families should receive the October 14th Blessing together and that this should be carried out simultaneously around the earth. It is our faith and prayer that this October 14th Blessing has substantial global ramifications -- spiritual, of course, but even so physically for the realization of at least one nation of CIG before January 13th, 2013.
That's why we are striving to line up (on Oct 13th - Central Time at 9 pm, Mountain Time at 8 pm) with the actual time (on Oct 14th in Korea time at 11 am) with the 'epicenter' event in Asan, Korea. True Parents will embrace "the whole world in His hands" by holding our world-wide markings of this ceremony 'live and in actual time', as they ask Heaven to receive all these couples as a condition for all mankind to receive the Blessing and enter the realm that Adam and Eve were meant to have entered had they remained unstained -- the completion stage.
Let's remember that through the special conditions of devotion and the special blessing donation that Father has asked us to make, we are being allowed to help our Parents set the necessary and difficult conditions to truly bless the world! We can only imagine the seriousness of our True Parents' prayers and the conditions of devotion which they are setting.
True Parents will anoint with prayer our 3 generations so that we have a greater condition to become the families within which God can dwell happily and peacefully; that our relationships of front and back, above and below, and left and right can move to a height we have yet to realize. Let us lift up our couples and families before Heaven with a new commitment to invest and grow our relationships to a never-achieved level of the original value of unstained Adam and Eve.
The application which was sent out by HQ is in pdf format and can only be filled out physically and then faxed or hand-delivered. I just called BFD HQ to request one that could be filled out electronically and emailed. That would be much easier for us to work with at the Dallas District 9 HQ. But until then, please use the form that I am attaching with this email. Again, it's a form that has to be printed out and then filled in and faxed. THE DUE DATE FOR THE BLESSING APPLICATION IS SEPT 30TH.
Also, please take note, the application form asks each couple to list their children WHO HAVE NOT BEEN BLESSED IN MARRIAGE. Thus, this seems to answer the question whether our children who have received the Holy Blessing are also being requested by True Parents to have their Blessings Re-anointed on October 14th. YES, ALL 2nd gen Blessed Couples will stand on their own and should submit their applications, too.
Please, brothers and sisters, let's be serious to help our Parents build this incredible condition to Bless the World! The Special Blessing Donation for Blessed Central Families is $1000 per couple. The DUE DATE for the special donation is Oct 7th. They should be mailed or emailed (if using a CC form) to Dallas HQ. The BFD has stated that installments are possible. Please speak to your City/State Leader or BFD representative about this. True Parents know what this condition means and requires of us; let's try our utmost with a true heart.
Let's also invite our dearest friends, relatives, AFP and Clergy. They should be asked to offer a Love Offering / Blessing Donation of appreciation, as well. Would it be the same asked of a BCF? Think about that. Perhaps, ideally, but let's invite them to stand with True Parents, True Family and us without restriction. Let's sing with a new heart as we gather in preparation to start and let's celebrate with beautiful refreshments afterwards. The world may not know that it was just Blessed, BUT we will.
Details: We're not sure if this Blessing will entail new Holy Wine or Holy Wine at all.
We'll gather at the following locations around District 9 -- Utah: Salt Lake Family Church Building or TBA; New Mexico: Albuquerque Family Church or TBA; Arkansas: TBA; Colorado and Wyoming: Denver Families of Peace Church Center; Oklahoma: Norman Family Church Center; Dallas KEA and Dallas Family Church:, TX: Dallas Family Church Sanctuary; Houston: Houston Family Church; and Austin / San Antonio: TBA.
We may still have some unanswered questions; I've submitted several to our National BFD. Let's all remain clear, though, about our responsibility to unite sincerely with our Father and Mother's heart for this tremendous moment in history.
I'll be away at the Washington DC Original DP Seminar Sept 29-Oct 3 and the Gala celebrating the release of the English-version of True Father's memoirs "To Become a Global Citizen of Peace" on Oct 1. As of this evening we have 4 Clergy or AFP attending the whole Principle Education Forum (Original DP) and 4 more attending the Gala. 8 FFWP members are attending the ODP and Gala. Please pray for the success of these gatherings.
I'll be communicating everyday with our District 9 HQ and with you all as more information comes. Please stay tuned.
ITPL,
Mark
