Dr. Song Yong-chun, President of FFWPU Korea, delivered the sermon during the Global Joint Worship, held as part of the 2025 Autumn Hyojeong CheonBo Great Works on October 26, 2025, at the main hall of the CheonBo Training Center.
Beloved and respected, blessed families around the world,
I am Song Yong-cheon, President of the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification in Heavenly Korea.
First, I offer deep gratitude and praise to our Heavenly Parent and the True Parents of Heaven, Earth, and Humankind, who have granted us this precious opportunity and transcended time and space to unite us all as one. Today, we gather through a single screen, from opposite sides of the world—across the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.
Although our languages, cultures, and life experiences may differ, we share a passionate love for True Parents and an absolute faith in Heavenly Parent. In this moment, we are deeply connected, transcending all boundaries of time and space, united, one in heart.
We are now at a crucial point where Heaven’s abundant grace is being poured out. The “2025 Autumn Hyojeong CheonBo Great Works,” which began with a powerful morning Chanyang session, has now reached its third and final day. It has been a crucible of grace, deeply inspiring and energizing our spirits.
On Friday evening, October 24, we sincerely appealed to Heaven through the tearful “Special Prayer Vigil” held at the World Center. We also strengthened our spiritual foundation with the Ancestor Liberation Ceremony, the Hyojeong Offering Ceremony, and the Ancestor Blessing Ceremony.
This morning, through the Chanyang session and the ancestor liberation ceremony [by video]—both of which awakened our spirits and bodies—we stand with heartfelt, pure devotion as we begin this global worship service, having gathered from all around the world to stand united before Heaven. I pray that, through the Great Works, we may all fully receive the infinite blessings and heavenly fortune prepared by Heavenly Parent and Holy Mother Han True Mother.
In this precious moment, as our hearts burn with deep emotion, let us first read a Bible verse that steadies our spirit and offers true comfort. It is a promise of peace amid all the worries and fears of the world – from John 14:27: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not be afraid.” Aju!”
Now, let us receive and read the words of our True Mother as nourishment for our lives. Even in the darkest and coldest trials of the world, True Mother has boldly proclaimed Heaven’s sovereignty and victory. On October 13, she delivered the following message—a flame of hope that shall never be extinguished:
It’s all right. Heaven will now move and take charge. The truth is bound to be revealed. It may take time, but it will surely come to light. This nation stands under Heaven—it must serve and attend Heaven. The laws of this land cannot dictate to Heaven.” Aju!
Beloved and respected, blessed families and members around the world, We are currently going through a time of trial. It has already been a long 35 days since our Mother was confined behind cold iron bars and began enduring imprisonment. According to a recent visitation report, her physical body is undergoing a period of suffering that is beyond what we can even dare to imagine.
Our Mother, who has dedicated her entire life to serving humanity without ever once resting comfortably, now struggles to sleep properly. Her eyes are severely strained, and the constant flow of cold sweat keeps the red rashes on her face and neck from healing. But that’s not all. Her breathing is so difficult that her body visibly rises and falls with each breath, causing deep concern for those watching over her.
Amid such physical suffering—pain that is unbearable for anyone—what keeps our Mother going day after day? Today, I want to reflect deeply on the theme of today’s message: ‘The Era Opened by Absolute Heartfelt Obedience,’ inspired by her words during a recent visit and the scripture we just read, and seek the answer together.
Beloved and respected members of the blessed families around the world,
The answer was found in a place truly astonishing and profound. The strength that sustains our Mother day by day does not come from worldly power or material abundance. Even in the deepest, darkest depths of suffering, what brought a radiant smile to her face was the pure and innocent love sent by her young great-grandchildren.
When she heard that one great-grandchild, longing for their “Wang Omma,” had composed and sung a trot-style song, Mother’s face lit up as if all her pain had melted away. During a brief five-minute phone call—the very first ever allowed—she heard her great-grandchildren’s voices and said with bright, childlike joy, “I feel happy today because I got to talk on the phone for the first time.” Isn’t this the power of true love that the world can never take away, and the greatest proof of hope blooming even in the most despairing moments?
True Mother’s boundless love did not remain confined to her own flesh and blood.
Even amid her own hardship, she was more concerned for the well-being of her children than for herself, tenderly saying, “Are you all okay? Don’t catch a cold. Stay strong.” Each word she spoke carried the aching heart of our Heavenly Parent—one who worries for the safety of their children before their own pain.
Upon hearing about the young people who offered their devotion each day in front of the cold detention center, she said, “Please tell them I love them very much,” sending them her warmest and most selfless love. This is the path of the True Parents that we are called to follow. It is the reason we never stray, even in hardship and trial. Before this great love, how could we not respond with a cry of gratitude? Everyone, please shout together: We love you, True Mother! (True Mother! We love you!)
Everyone, when we cry out, “We love you,” True Mother receives that love with her entire being. Just imagining this fills our hearts with greater sorrow and longing. Amid the chill of the cold floor and the damp, heavy air, red rashes appeared upon her precious body, and her breathing has become irregular—yet not for a single moment has her heart ever been apart from us.
We know that all this suffering is an offering of atonement for the sake of her children, and a sacred labor to bring forth a new era. That is why True Mother’s pain becomes our hope, and her tears become the water of life that sustains us all.
Beloved blessed families around the world, True Mother has always lived a life of absolute heartfelt obedience before Heaven. This is the very root of our providence—the reason we are able to stand firm and unshaken today. Throughout the thorny path of her providential course, never once did she utter the words, “I wish to rest,” or “This is too difficult,” for her own sake. Her entire life has been devoted to a single purpose: to see the Will of our Heavenly Parent fulfilled on this earth. Truly, hers has been a great and noble life.
That unwavering faith of absolute heartfelt submission shines even brighter behind prison walls during times of intense suffering. Some children, worried that True Mother might be troubled by certain misleading reports, shared their concerns. But True Mother, having already seen through it all, comforted us and said: “It’s okay. Now Heaven will work. The truth will surely be revealed. It may take time, but the truth always comes out. What else can I do? I must endure and wait.”
Everyone, can you not feel True Mother’s steadfast faith in Heaven through these words? Instead of being swayed by the false noise of the world, she firmly clings to Heaven’s truth, which will ultimately triumph, and chooses to endure silently.
This unwavering heart of True Mother truly exemplifies absolute faith—a model for us all to follow.
True Mother did not stop there. She gave us clear and precise guidance on what we must do to resolve the world’s misunderstandings. It was not to fight as the world fights. She said, “Simply speak about the Principle of Creation—the Principle of Creation, attending Heaven, and the dream of our Heavenly Parent. All of humankind must become people who can attend our Heavenly Parent on earth.”
Indeed, the only way to heal the root of all misunderstanding and conflict is to let the world know the Principle of Creation. This is truly the voice of Heaven—a revelation that could only come from the profound wisdom of True Parents, who, even in the midst of suffering, perceive the very heart of the providence.
And True Mother reminded us that this mission is indeed the sacred responsibility of us, the chosen people. I would like to share an instance when she received a report that Segye Ilbo was publishing a series of articles highlighting the providential mission of our nation. Deeply moved by the report, she responded with firm conviction: “That is exactly what must be done. As the chosen people, we have a responsibility. We must not become like the Israelites of the past. This is a most critical moment.”
These words were like a heavenly alarm, once again awakening us to the gravity of the mission entrusted to us. Korea and the blessed families around the world have been called as the chosen people, receiving guidance and protection. Now, Heaven solemnly commands us to fulfill that responsibility. This is the very embodiment of True Mother’s absolute heartfelt obedience to Heaven and the Will.
Having laid down everything before Heaven, even in the midst of suffering, she continues to show us the precise direction of the providence, guiding us along the path of true love. Because of her life, we are who we are today. And because her roots run deep and strong, we will never fall—no matter what storms may come our way.
Isn’t that true, everyone? If you agree, please join me in shouting together: Aju! (Aju!)
Beloved blessed families around the world, Now it is our turn to respond. We must answer True Mother’s faith based on absolute heartfelt obedience before Heavenly Parent and the Will through concrete action in our own lives.
There is no longer time to remain in sorrow or anger. Our tears must now become tears of determination, and that determination must lead to holy deeds and practices that will hasten Heaven’s victory. Let us once again engrave deep within our hearts the words, “The greatest devotion is action.” With renewed courage, let us open wide the hearts that once shrank before the eyes of the world, and step forward boldly to fulfill Heaven’s calling.
As the first step of our practical obedience from the heart, in complete response to the solemn command True Mother personally conveyed to me from within her confinement on October 4—“The Korean Headquarters must share the essence of the Family Federation with the entire nation”—the Family Federation of Heavenly Korea and I began a grand pilgrimage on October 19, starting in Busan.
This nationwide speaking tour, spanning 50 days and culminating in the Gyeongnam region on December 7, is far more than a series of public addresses. It is our earnest and tearful endeavor to share in True Mother’s suffering and to substantiate her Will upon this earth.
On this path, I move forward step by step with the conviction that “one person’s faith can revive a church, and one church can save a nation.” In every district I visit—sometimes online, sometimes in person—I meet each and every pastor one-on-one, without exception. This reflects my sincere belief that everything must be renewed, not from behind a desk, but from the frontlines of the providence.
I listen deeply, with my heart, to the joys and sorrows of each pastor and the challenges they face in their ministry. At the same time, I am starting anew in the field to share with dormant members who have been away, as well as with new members seeking truth, the very message True Mother so earnestly desires to be known: the truth about the Family Federation and the truth about True Mother herself.
This sacred 50-day course is not a lonely path for Korea. To our proud members around the world—including those from Japan and the United States who are here with us today—we in Korea are sincerely strengthened by your fervent prayers and heartfelt devotion.
In particular, the reports on activities such as the “Emergency Response Efforts” and the “Nabi Project,” carried out by our Japanese members to reveal our true identity, are more than just a source of comfort—they are a powerful source of inspiration and encouragement that makes our hearts beat once again.
Before that profound emotion had even settled, this week brought yet another report that moved Heaven, echoing from the very heart of Seoul. Our two proud inheritors boldly stood before the walls of prejudice and misunderstanding in the world, raising their voices to bear witness to the truth of True Mother.
On a street where countless people pass by without a second glance, they endured cold, mocking gazes with their whole being, taking hold of the microphone with hearts ablaze, determined to proclaim the truth no matter the cost. Their courageous testimony became a powerful resonance, stirring awake our once-slumbering spirits.
It was far more than merely shouting something out—it was the desperate filial love of children who could no longer stand by and watch True Mother’s suffering, and a solemn declaration of conscience, refusing to remain silent in the face of injustice.
Just as the pure and passionate devotion of the young members in Japan became a beautiful flutter of hope through the “Nabi Project,” astonishing the world, I am confident that the courageous cry that echoed through the heart of Seoul will likewise become a precious spark—igniting a sacred wind across Korea to reveal the truth.
As a single spark can set an entire wilderness ablaze, their sincere outcry will now catch fire in all our hearts, rising together into a mighty torch of truth.
Now is the time for the entire world to respond to True Mother’s example of absolute, sincere obedience to Heaven’s Will. The tearful prayers and heartfelt devotion we have offered for True Mother must now be expressed through bold actions and tangible practice in the world.
Our Heavenly Parent values a single step taken together by a hundred people far more than a hundred steps taken by just one. When each of us takes even one step of absolute heartfelt obedience from our own positions, these steps will come together to form a mighty forward march—transforming the world and hastening Heaven’s victory.
Let us all move forward together! Everyone, will you join us on this path? Aju! (Aju!)
Thank you.
Proud, blessed families around the world, now we must ask ourselves: When we consider the immense weight of suffering that True Mother bears alone, have we truly been faithful children—standing by her and sharing in that burden?
At this moment, we must face the mirror that reflects the truth of our faith and our lives. We must deeply repent for our complacency and dulled hearts, moving beyond mere self-reproach to undergo a sacred process of purification, uniting fully with True Mother’s heart. True Mother’s cross is our responsibility. Only when we engrave the meaning of her suffering in our hearts can we truly stand as one united community before Heaven.
However, dear members, these tears of repentance are by no means tears that drag us into despair. Instead, as True Mother declared through this trial—“Members around the world have united as one”—our pain must serve as a crucible for even greater unity.
Yes, our tears must no longer be marks of defeat, but the dew of resolution that assures victory. And this resolution must be proven through the following three concrete actions.
The first is prayer and devotion that moves Heaven. When the ten minutes of daily prayer offered at a set time becomes more than a repetition of words—when it becomes a time of devotion filled with our whole heart and soul— that prayer becomes a force that moves Heaven.
Such earnest devotion becomes the power that mobilizes heavenly armies for True Mother, and for us, it becomes the courage to overcome the world.
We must go beyond simply praying for True Mother’s well-being. We must offer all our sincerity in prayer that her Will may be fulfilled on this earth, and that our lives may become holy offerings that testify to her victory. Even now, like the tearful devotion of the Peace Prayer Vigil in front of the Seoul Detention Center, when our earnest hearts unite as one, the work of Heaven will truly begin.
The second is to testify to the Word through our lives. The “Principle of Creation and the Word” that True Mother has commanded must now go beyond our lips and become the very fabric of our daily living. Even just ten minutes a day is a good start. Let us consciously live out the Word, even in that short time.
As those ten minutes of practice accumulate, our families will begin to radiate the fragrance of peace, our neighbors will find comfort through us, and our workplaces will brighten through our presence—creating miracles.
This is the living Word, and true witnessing that moves the hearts of the world.
When the Word of truth spreads like a fragrance through our lives, the misunderstandings and prejudices of the world will melt away like spring snow.
The third and final point is to become one through passionate love for our community. Let us reach out and take the hands of brothers and sisters who are momentarily weary, and for our young people who are the hope of the future, let’s put our arm around their shoulders.
When we embrace one another and form a united front upon a single rock,the world will no longer be able to view us casually. Beloved members! Let us now lay aside sorrow and put on the armor of resolution. Our repentance is the torch that signals a new beginning, and our prayers are the trumpet sound of a march toward victory.
With one heart and one goal, shall we boldly advance toward the new era of hope that True Mother is opening for us? Aju! (Aju!)
Beloved and respected members around the world, Our Holy Mother, True Mother, has given us a clear promise: “Do not worry. Heaven is alive. The truth will surely be revealed.”
Just as True Father once comforted visiting members with a radiant smile even on the cold floor of Seodaemun Prison, saying, “Do not worry about what lies ahead. Heaven will protect everything,” today, True Mother—amid deepest suffering—offers us the same heavenly comfort and assurance.
Even in the midst of such intense suffering, True Mother holds us firmly with the conviction that “we must endure until victory is achieved.”
Though her weakened body now requires a wheelchair, and the exhaustion of sleepless nights and cold sweats has caused painful rashes on her skin, True Mother still turns to her children and says: “I’m in a lot of pain, but I’ll endure well thanks to your love.”
With that one heartfelt statement, the hearts and tears of members around the world are drawn together.
Everyone! The providence of True Parents is still alive, breathing, and advancing—and our Heavenly Parent is opening wide the gates of a new era through us! If you believe that each of us is a central figure in this providence, let’s shout a loud Aju! (Aju!)
Our prayers have overcome resentment and become a firm assurance of victory, and our tears will become the living water that opens the new age!
If you agree, let’s all shout together: Aju! (Aju!)
We will ultimately overcome every trial and become the victorious protagonists who testify to Heaven’s truth before the entire world! Let’s say Aju! (Aju!)
Thank you. I believe your passionate voices have already brought Heaven’s victory to this earth. Today, we have stepped beyond our sorrow and have been gloriously reborn as victorious true children of Heaven. We offer our deepest gratitude to our Heavenly Parent and our Holy Mother, True Mother, who have granted us all this grace.
May the great blessings of our Heavenly Parent and the True Parents of Heaven, Earth, and Humankind be upon the families of all members around the world who joined today’s service.
Thank you.
Benediction
Heavenly Parent, the source of love, life, and grace. Our True Parents of Heaven and Earth, Humankind, who have overcome the power of death and opened the path of eternal victory
Today, on this holy and blessed morning, like countless streams converging into one great ocean beyond borders and races, all blessed families around the world have gathered here in one sacred realm of heart, transcending time and space.
We are truly grateful that You have allowed us to offer glory and praise with all our hearts to Heavenly Parent and True Parents.
We are especially grateful that you have been sustaining us with the mighty river of your grace right through the final day of the 2025 Autumn Hyojeong CheonBo Great Works, bnrightly illuminating our path like the stars shining in the dark of the night sky. Before such immeasurable love and glory, we bow our heads in deep gratitude.
Beloved Heavenly Parent,
At this very moment, our burning longing and earnest prayers are directed toward Holy Mother Han, our True Mother, who is enduring solitary confinement behind the coldest and lowest iron bars of this land.
Already, a painful 35 days have passed. She is the Mother of Peace who has offered her entire life on the altar of humanity’s salvation.
How could we, immature as we are, possibly fathom the pain she is enduring in the chill of that cramped, narrow room, with red rashes remaining on her precious body, and unable to sleep at night, suffering from labored breathing.
Despite all of that, True Mother told us, “I am in great pain, but I can endure it, thanks to your love.” We cannot even begin to imagine the heart of True Mother, who considers the small love of her children more profound than her own agonizing pain.
We earnestly pray and beseech You, Heavenly Parent.
With the authority of your mighty hand, please personally watch over True Mother in this time of deep suffering. Strengthen her weary eyes and the knees burdened by the hardship of having to get up and down from the cold floor. Please personally wipe away the sweat streaming down her careworn face with your warm, loving breath, and mobilize the forces of heaven day and night to protect and keep Mother’s sacred body, crystal clear and strong.
May Mother’s absolute faith that, “It is okay. Heaven will work now. The truth will surely be revealed” be quickly proven true before the entire world through Heaven’s righteous judgment.
Merciful Heavenly Parent.
Today, we have engraved True Mother’s absolute love, faith, and obedience deep into our hearts like a fiery seal. Let our tears no longer dwell in the cold shadow of sorrow and helplessness.
May our tears become earnest prayers that move Heaven’s heart with pure hearts like morning dew. Let our lives, even amid the tumult of the streets, be like clear spring water, fragrant as we live the word with our practice, your principles of creation. May our hands become a source of warmth to one another on cold winter days, forming a passionate solidarity of true love that holds fast to the hands of our weary brothers and sisters.
Let the joy Mother expressed, “All the members around the world have united as one,” become the furnace that purifies all of these trials, so that we can firmly establish a “true love community” as pure gold, without any blemish or stain.
And now, as we conclude this time of worshipping together and return to our respective fields of life and into the world, please do not let our steps falter or waver before the harsh winds and misunderstandings of the world. When injustice seeks to obscure the truth, may our voices not be silenced by fear.
Let us never forget Mother’s earnest plea that “we must fulfill our responsibility as the chosen people,” and become true sons and daughters of Heavenly Parent who boldly testify to Heaven’s truth before the people of this nation.
We were stirred by the sight of the passionate cries of missionaries Moon Shin-chul and Moon Shin-heung, whom you have blessed as the Inheritors of Heaven’s Love and Blessing, as they cried out for the truth on the cold asphalt at Seoul Station. May the spark of their pure courage ignite into a great torch in the hearts of all young people.
May the sacred pledge, “We Will Achieve It,” which we sang together today with hearts of sorrow and tears of determination, bear glorious fruit, bringing Heaven’s victory in our families and churches, and may You send your boundless heavenly fortune and blessings to our communities, this nation and the entire world.
I earnestly offer this prayer with gratitude in the name of Song Yong-cheon, of a blessed family attending Holy Mother Han, who is the source of our life and our beacon of hope. Aju
