'Church full of love by the Divine Spirit and Truth, Save the world with the Principle'

With the title 'Church full of love by the Divine Spirit and Truth, Save the world with the Principle' on 9.28 by the heavenly calendar (solar; Nov. 11, 2012), at CheongShim Peace World Center the 'Welcoming Celebration for True Parents' Victorious Tour as well as National Worship Service for Korean Members for the Victory of Foundation Day' (National Worship) was held. CheongShim Peace World Center was covered in the cold autumn weather but welcomed 15,000 Korean members with beautiful autumn sceneries. Following the 'Unification World Leaders Special Workshop for the Victory of Foundation Day) (8.2 by the heavenly calendar; Solar: Sept. 17), the Korean members that attended this event welcomed back True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind back to Korea after a firm victory of America Holy Ground Pilgrimage and also had a time of resolution for the victory of Foundation Day.

At 10:29 am, True Mother entered the stage with Mr. Kook Jin Moon, Director for Tongil Group Foundation and cut the congratulatory cake. Then they received flowers from Church leader and his wife and then sat in her chair. She was welcomed with great applause by the attending 15,000 people.

The National Worship began by Rev. Jun-ho Seuk, President of Unification Church in Korea, who was the MC for the event. First it began with offering of bows, singing of Cheon Il Guk National Anthem, reciting the Family Pledge, representative prayer by Parish Leader Rev. Mu-san Lim and then 'Cheon Shin Choir' from Cheon Buk Gung sang a song.

President Jeong-ok Yuk, Headquarters, stated in his sermon ('The Restoration of God's Kingdom') he said, the only way for those who have debt with God is the unification of North and South Korea and the restoration of God's Kingdom.

Then, the members watched a video presentation titled, 'Holy Ground Pilgrimage: New Beginning to Pioneer' which showed True Mother's Holy Ground Pilgrimage in America for 14 days from 9.14 by the heavenly calendar (solar: Oct. 27) from west to east for almost 5,600 kilometers. This was True Mother repeating True Father's great tour back in 1977 when he toured from west to east over 3 weeks.

In the video, it showed True Mother participating the '20th Anniversary of America World Peace Women's Federation' and spoke to around 1,200 women leaders and said, 'Now is the time when the women must stand in the front. Not only at a individual level but at their homes, tribe, nation and in the world, women with their motherly love must love each other and help those who are in need and let's fulfill our dreams.'

Even inside the bus, True Mother will never stop doing the morning Hoon Dok Hae. The bus she used was the bus that True Father had offered to the heaven after having a 10 hour Hoon Dok Hae a year ago. True Mother visited each memorable places and offered prayers of tears with True Father who was at spiritually at her side at all times. At the final day of the tour in New York she held a 'America Members Assembly' and said, 'Until the final day of my life, I don't know if that's going to be in 20 years or 10 years, I will do my best'. Although the video was only 20 minutes, members were able to share True Mother's intensive holy ground pilgrimage.

After the report by North America Continental Director Rev. Chang-shik Yang, True Mother came to the stage and emphasized that we should live with a heart of gratitude and love;

"It's great to see you! (Members standing and giving a great applause) Sit down please. Time has passed quickly and now that you have heard beautiful Words, Hoon Dok Hae, sermon, video and another great report, do you still need to listen to Words? ('Yes!')

(Applause)

It probably apply to everyone but even if we reach adulthood if we get a new pen or pencil we want to use don't we? Won't you try to write something? Since I was little, I don't know why but I really liked the word 'Unification'. Now that I think about it, this word, for a long time, had been supporting me.

As we met God and as our final destination we must complete Cheon Il Guk but the first thing that we must complete is our individual self. About our own self. True Father said that after two people becomes one it creates heaven. How can a human being live a life of more than 100 percentage unified for their heart and body? This is the most basic and it's a problem that we must practice through our faith.

That is why I will say the following. Before you criticize something good or bad you first should have a pure heart and say 'Thank you very much' in front of heaven. Only those who have morality can say 'Thank you very much' in front of heaven without any falseness. Don't you agree? ('Yes!')

If you stand in a unified position in an individual, family, church, tribe, nation and world, wouldn't a unified world centering on God automatically be created? ('Yes!')

(Applause)

Please clap hard if you can say that you will live like that. (applause) If you live your life with that in mind and try to do things that you need to do then heaven will be at your side and blessing will be there as well. (applause) Thank you very much."

During the 'Harmony Time' all the participants stood at their seats and sang the holy song 'Seonghwa Youth March' while young members danced on the floor. Then, Rev. Yuk-hyong Joe, Gang-nam Church leader, Rev. Yang Ho, Pacific Special Parish Leader, Won-ju Chon sang True Father's favorite songs. At the end of this joyous time, True Mother sang 'Onma-ya Nuna-ya' with some lyrics changed and said 'Mother and Father are living at the river bed, Thank you very much' and greeted the members. The members replied, 'Thank you True Parents! We love you True Mother'.

The National Worship ended with Rev. Bo Hi Park, General Director of Korea Culture Foundation, 3 cheers of Eog-mansei and True Mother after receiving the bows from members left the stage at 12:33 pm.
