True Parents’ New Year Motto and Message for the 13th Year of Cheon Il Guk
The “Global New Year Prayer for the Salvation of the Chosen Han People” for a victorious Entrance into the Cheon Il Sanctum in Cheon Won Gung was held at Cheongshim Peace World Center at 8:00 PM on 12.1 by the Heavenly Calendar in the 12th year of Cheon Il Guk (December 31, 2024). Some 14,000 participated, including members of the True Family, Cheon Il Guk leaders, leaders of providential organizations, pastors, blessed families, and other members. True Parents entered the stage two minutes before the New Year, and at midnight gave the New Year’s motto along with a message on the new vision for the 13th year of Cheon Il Guk. Cheon Mu Won is making True Parents’ New Year motto and message available to all regional Cheon Il Guk leaders, pastors, blessed families and members worldwide.
New Year Motto
“In the 13th year of Cheon Il Guk, when we attend the Creator Heavenly Parent substantially, let us, the blessed families around the world, become true sons and daughters of Cheon Il Guk who fulfill our responsibility as the chosen people in unity with True Parents!”
Message
This is the New Year’s motto that, starting from today with the Year of the blue Snake, will be passed down for generations in Cheon Il Guk.
All blessed families throughout the world and everyone gathered here are happy!
As we enter the Year of the Blue Snake, we know the pain from 120 years ago [Note: Mother refers to 1905, in which the treaty of Eulsa made Korea a protectorate of Japan; 1905 was also a year of the Blue Snake]. In the Bible, a serpent symbolizes Satan. However, the snake is also called a wise animal. After 6,000 years of Heaven’s providence and of human history, all blessed families of the Unification movement have received, through True Parents, Heaven’s magnificent grace of Cheon Il Guk where we can attend Heavenly Parent in substantial ways on earth. We must be grateful. As blessed families, we must fulfill our responsibility.
Therefore, we must teach, beginning with this nation’s citizens and politicians, that they are the chosen people. In a true democracy, where we attend Heavenly Parent and all nations become sibling nations in front of Heavenly Parent as one family of humankind, can there be fighting or not? Until now, due to the Fall, there have been wars, hostility, and religious conflict; history has not seen a single day of peace.
Yet we are entering the 13th year since the beginning of a new history through the victorious True Parents. True Parents’ responsibility is to fulfill Heavenly Parent’s dream on earth, the ideal of creation and the kingdom of heaven on earth. True Parents have given birth to many blessed families worldwide. Through their 2nd and 3rd generations—Pure Water youth spreading throughout the world, like drops of water joining to form rivers that flow to the sea—our future will be gloriously bright. I pray this day may become one of grace, gratitude, and happiness that Heavenly Parent can joyfully receive through your sincere devotions (jeongseong) and practice.
