True Parents’ Prayer of Blessing (Excerpts) on April 27, 2002
Loving Heavenly Father. Today, April 27th in the second year of Cheon Il Guk, here at the Sheraton National Hotel in Washington, D.C., at 3:15 in the afternoon, 144,000 religious leader couples chosen from 189 countries, of one heart, one body and one mindset are receiving the great benefit of the blessing bestowed from Heaven. For this we offer our deep gratitude….
We are here with all the religious leaders standing together as a family of one heart, one body and one mindset, thanks to the blessing of unity between heaven and earth. We must restore fallen families to be ideal families belonging to the original realm of God’s heart on the familial, tribal, racial, national and cosmic levels, Father. Now, we can engraft the false olive trees with true olive trees based on the newly-born ideal family. True Parents came to the earth on the foundation You had painstakingly laid to establish the victorious supremacy representing Your all-transcendent, all-immanent, and all-powerful divine nature through the power of Your love, life and lineage.
You have brought Satan to surrender through the eight stages of the indemnity course, passing through the ages of the individual, family, tribe, race, nation and heart levels of indemnity. After having established the victorious foundation of liberation, You have created the victorious supremacy of the establishment of Your kingship. Thank you so much for allowing us to have Cheon Il Guk, the nation of liberation, where all things in the entire universe can be governed by God’s direct dominion of love….
144,000 religious leaders are being blessed here. We are truly, truly, truly grateful for Your grace in allowing us to hold this worldwide, historic marriage blessing that will enable us to move forward to the world of liberation, the new Kingdom of Heaven on earth where we can entirely devote our loyalty and filial piety to You.
All the people being blessed here should create a unified realm of heavenly heart with one mind, one body and one mindset. They should belong to Heaven, connecting to true love, true life and true lineage by fulfilling their responsibility as filial children, loyal servants, saints and holy people during their lives on earth, so that they can be the families in the cosmic garden of love, belonging to the heavenly royal family. These people should be able to offer their offerings, like trees duly bearing fruit, for the heavenly kingdom of love on earth and in heaven. We are truly grateful for Your allowing us to have the realm of liberation at this time so that we could all offer our fruit in front of Heaven–the fruit of all of history since God’s creation.
Please allow Your eternal blessing on and the eternal fulfillment of Your promise to the 144,000 couples who are now being blessed. Father, we sincerely pray for You to bless them to create families of true heavenly filial children, loyal servants, saints and holy people who can walk this most central and heavenly path as You would wish them to.
I offer congratulations and fervently, fervently report and pray all these things in the name of True Parents. Amen! Amen! Amen!
