October 23, 2010

On October 23, from 9:30 pm, after Dae Mo Nim's beautiful and inspiring words, one of the main events of this '2010 Autumn Chung Pyung Special Great Works' (Special Great Works) the Prayer at the Tree of All Things and inheriting the Special Candle was held. Members who bought the special candle beforehand went up the Holy Ground to the Tree of All Things after Dae Mo Nim's words.

This prayer at the Tree of All Things is a prayer where God and True Parents will give various blessings to Blessed Families starting with financial blessing and there was the special holy candle inheriting ceremony from Dae mo Nim. Members gathered around the Tree of All Things, Tree of Loyalty, Water of life and the Tree of Heart.

Before the actual start of the ceremony, there was an explanation from Rev. Myeong-gwan Lee, General Director of Chung Pyung Heaven and Earth Training Center about the receiving of this special candle light. He said that for 15 years Dae Mo Nim had offered sincere devotion to seek a path to liberate the members from their difficult lives without the blessing of All Things. But now she had opened the path so that members could be connected to the blessing of All Things through the Heavenly Fortune given to members through this special candle light. He also mentioned and emphasized that to truly receive the full grace of this special candle light members have to witness really well and live a life of living for the sake of others so that they could truly live in happiness with all things surrounding them.

The Prayer at the Tree of All Things started at 9:30 pm. First, together with the MC, the members who gathered around the Tree of All Things sang the Cheon Il Guk Anthem to raise the serious atmosphere.

First there was a prayer which was offered by Rev. Yong-sok Song, General President of UPF-Japan who is currently attending a Japanese Leaders Workshop held in Chung Pyung. Rev. Song prayed, 'Always be grateful to God who created All Things and get rid of selfishness and to live a life of gratitude is the condition to receive the blessing of All Things'.

Then Rev. Yeong-ho Ha, President of Chung Pyung Heaven and Earth Training Center read True Parents' benediction which was offered on the Day of All True Things.

After the Hoon Dok reading, there was the inheritance of the light for the candle from Dae Mo Nim. The inheritance of the flame started with 50 church leaders from Korea, Japan and International directly from Dae Mo Nim and then it was spread through the members who were surrounding the Tree of All Things.

While the light was going through the members, all sang the Holy Song number 6. Then the unison prayer started. Remembering what Rev. Lee spoke about earlier about Dae Mo Nim's sincere devotion members started to pray with a loud voice praying to God and True Parents of their determination in working really hard for the providence. Repenting the wrongful lives that they have lived but promised God a better future and new life.

After several minutes of amazing prayer, tears still flowing out of their eyes, members offered a great 3 cheers of Eok-manse that shook heaven and earth.
