The Words of the Pique Family |
Dear brothers and sisters,
I would like to share with you an experience I had with True Father. When I heard the news that True Parents were coming to Spain, in that moment a voice inside told me that I had to volunteer immediately to help with the hospitality team to serve True Parents.
I have been in the church for 37 years, and I have always seen True Parents only from a distance in conferences and Hoon Dok Hae. I have had many spiritual experiences with True Parents in prayer and in dreams, but I have always dreamed of being able to be close to them physically.
In the days prior to their arrival, I knew I had to do some serious conditions; prayer, fasting and Hoon Dok Hae, and I also felt it was important to do the spiritual healing service following the video of Hyung Jin Nim. Whilst doing this condition many of my ancestors came to me crying and we cried together, and I felt as if my heart were being purified and I was coming closer in heart to true parents.
On the day if the speech, we were in the corridor of True Parents area in the hotel and True Father came in the corridor, then seeing a group of sisters in the corridor, began to speak to us.
As he spoke bit by bit I started to feel as if my heart was uniting with True Father's and as if a great force was pulling me to his heart. And the corridor began to fill up with spiritual women. True Father stopped in front of me and spoke about the restoration of woman, he spoke in a mixture of English and Korean. All the spiritual women in the corridor started to cry. In my heart I asked forgiveness for the sins of woman that have brought so much suffering to God throughout history.
True Father spoke very strongly, often shouting, his face was very close to mine, I couldn't look away and I cried continuously. I felt a strong force inside me that was so great as I could feel Father's deep suffering. Father hit me on the head and on the chest, I didn't feel pain, only a strong force inside and deep deep love. I realized then it that moment I was representing many ancestors from this nation, and that was why Father was so serious and could speak so strongly, never have I experienced an inner force so great. I have had many spiritual experiences with True Father but this time it was physical.
He was there and the words of Hoon Dok Hae and Divine Principle that have always filled my life were now being said to me by the messiah himself, right in front of me, and these words were filled with so much life and love. I heard voices that were saying "the word of God is made into flesh and lives in us"
The Messiah was there in front of me I could feel his heart so close in such a real way. My life's great dream had come to a reality. And not only to be close to True Father but to feel in my heart all that he carries in his heart. I didn't even realize the passing of time it felt like only a moment.
He also spoke about the mistreatment of Jesus, and there was so much love, suffering and pain in Father's heart as he spoke. The spiritual women in the corridor cried in repentance and asking for forgiveness, and I felt the heart of Jesus. I have loved Jesus all my life, but in that moment I felt him in a way so real and so profoundly like never before, I could not stop crying. I felt the price Father has had to pay for us to be saved. At the end Father spoke about the importance of the unity of black and white people, and the great importance of the Marriage Blessing to restore ancestors. When Father finished speaking, he gently placed his hand on my cheek and his whole face lit up.
After this experience every time I closed my eyes tears well up inside me. I will never ever forget those moments; I will never forget Father's deep sorrow and strong desire for the restoration of humanity, and I will never forget the warm sensation of his hand on my face. Dear brothers and sisters we must help True Parents restore this world, we must do what they are doing; giving words of liberation to each person, with a heart full of love.
I feel this experience was an incredible gift, I was there, maybe I was not the ideal person to receive it, but it wasn't something personal, I was there to represent Spanish women and True Father felt the strong desire in my heart and the crying of my soul to be close to him and he came. I will always be eternally grateful for this gift from heaven; to have felt His heart and that I could have had the strength to be there in front of him.
Thank you True Parents!
