The Words of Hyung Jin Moon From 2009 |
May God and True Parents’ blessings and love be with brothers and sisters in all regions, mission nations and providential organizations.
The recent 11.16 Second Generation Blessing Ceremony by True Parents was a historic ceremony that realized God’s wish, His ideal at the time of Creation, of blessing Adam and Eve in the original Garden of Eden. We offer gratitude to True Parents and also to the leaders and members for the devotion and hard work they offered for this Blessing Ceremony. I would like to ask for your attention and support for second generation blessed couples who have the responsibility to carry out the important mission of now establishing a new blessing tradition for second generation members.
On December 7, before leaving for America, True Parents gave instructions to prepare for a Blessing Ceremony for 14,300 couples to be held in February 2010 in commemoration of True Parents’ birthday. True Parents are re-creating us into citizens of Cheon Il Guk through the blessing; let us invest ourselves completely so that we can offer the fruits of victory to heaven. In this light, regional presidents and national leaders should follow the guidelines below and do their best in preparing for the upcoming Blessing Ceremony.
1) Date of Blessing Ceremony: February 18, 2010
2) Venue: Korea (specific venue to be announced at a later date)
3) Goal: 14,300 couples (to participate in the main Blessing Ceremony in Korea)
