On August 1 8:00 a.m the pledge service and ceremony to commemorate the 11th Chil Pal Jeol was held with True Parents at the Cheon Jeong Peace Palace.

During his speech that day True Father emphasized that we should fulfill our responsibility toward our ancestors and descendants, and work hard so that all people can receive the blessing and together shout og-mansei in the sacred reign of peace for the past, present and future under God's dominion.

Father also spoke of changing the name of the Holy Day from "Chil Pal Jeol" to "Pal Il Jeol (or Il Pal Jeol)." (The official naming will be sent out as an official memo.)

Participants offered a full bow and recited the family pledge. Rev. Kwak gave the representative prayer. True Parents cut the celebration cake and ate the offering food.

Rev. Kwak then explained the history and significance of the blessing and how it had developed throughout the years.

At 9:40 a.m. True Father took the podium and spoke on the value and importance of the sexual organ which serves as the palace of love, life and lineage. He gave a detailed explanation on the four main attributes of God. He also spoke in Japanese and to the Japanese members about the importance of the Japanese providence. True Father emphasized that this Holy Day should be one of celebration of becoming actual prince and princess and that we should quickly complete the Blessing so that we may all become True Parents' children and prince and princesses.

At the end of the program Father wrote calligraphy which can be roughly translated as:

"The era of self-governance, liberation and inner freedom of the ideal three great kingships"
