We present here a collection of True Father’s speeches that were published in Today’s World monthly magazine over the 35 years it was in print. Many of these were at providential events or at meetings with leaders.
- Spiritual Guidance on Repentance and Forgiveness
Early Days’ Internal Guidance … In order to subjugate Satan, you cannot be forgiven by just asking, “Heavenly Father, please forgive me.” You have to shed tears in order to return to God. You have to feel the pain of your face swollen from crying. You have to shed tears in repentance for your sins. That is very important for each one of you. We have to go this way not just for the sake of ourselves but for the sake of our country and for the sake of the world. - Challenging Women to Take the Lead
… the goal of the Women’s Federation was not to be another ordinary women’s organization. It does not aim to be an external, political and combative women’s rights movement mainly targeting men, which advocates expansion of women’s rights, gender equality and the women’s labor movement. Rather, it is a global peace movement on a whole new level with the providential significance of realizing the ideal world as God envisaged it at the Creation. - “Cheon Hwa Gung” Special Declaration Ceremony
… True Parents teach about purity to not one but tens of thousands of couples, sons and daughters who had been enemies, making them one and then establishing the realm of oneness based on unified families. Welcoming with plea- sure heaven’s victorious sovereignty and the kingdom of Heaven, all these things that are completed, with Mother as the starting point, centering on True Parents, all descendants of two Adam’s families are united. - Cheongshim Peace World Center Dedication
… This is something the True Parents are conveying for the first time. A new heaven and earth, new followers will emerge. Become well-accomplished disciples. More than that, this is the age for welcoming new, godly disciples. I am speaking of an era without religious, political or economic strife, a new age. - Returning to the Point
… Why did Jesus come? To bring rebirth, resurrection and eternal life. If God had remained the eternal subject-partner of creation, the world would not have become what it is today. Satan’s fallen bloodline was planted between the mind and the body. - Day of Victory of Love
… In order to reconnect what had been severed, I abandoned my children for twenty-nine years until now. I was never able to kiss them when they were babies or hold their hands. What about you? What about your children? When you didn’t have enough to eat, you stole in order to eat, but when you think about how I starved and was in prison … - True Father Prayer and Speech: New Year 2012
… Our homeland is not in front of us; it follows behind us. Even God, the God of Night and God of Day, cannot lie down. He is waiting urgently for the day of True Parents’ victory. Each day for God is like a thousand years. Each day for God is truly more difficult than that of a mother in labor. - Toward a World without a Trace of Satanic Influence
… You should feel how precious it is to be in an environment where you can believe in Heaven and be trusted by Heaven. Once you become unclear about this, it’s difficult to escape from that situation…. - Looking Back, Looking Ahead
…. Human beings received the seed of Satan, as their ancestor, and now hell and heaven are divided and we are still living in a time of lamentation. Who should take humankind to the next level? If Rev. Moon were a false parent, then there would be no God of Night or God of Day. Since I am to conduct our Holy Wedding, no one can chase me out now. - The Garden of Our Original Hometown
… When we consider the fact that ordinary people are born then go to join their ancestors, there is no one who would say that those people know that to be the case and go knowing what this time signifies. Ask yourselves whether you know about and are prepared for such times. You will know for a fact that you are not prepared.
