On April 13, Holy Mother Han, True Mother, presided over the historic entrance ceremony of Cheon Won Gung Cheon Il Sanctum, dedicating a dwelling where the Creator, Heavenly Parent-who has longed since the beginning of time to live together with humankind-can finally reside.
This day marked Heavenly Parent’s liberation: a moment of wiping away the tears shed over 6,000 years of blood-stained efforts to save humanity and restoring the original parent-child relationship so that Heavenly Parent can embrace humankind as children once again.
True Mother, her voice trembling, spoke of Heavenly Parent’s long wait and solemnly declared victory on this earth, offering it before Heaven.
The 14 Cheon Il Seonghwa paintings adorning the walls of the Cheon Il Sanctum stand as a golden monument in human history-realized through the noble life course that True Parents walked to fulfill Heavenly Parent’s dream.
We can inherit the living, breathing world of shimjeong embedded in True Parents’ life course as depicted in the Cheon Il Seonghwa paintings. By restoring the subjectivity of true love, we can attend Heavenly Parent in our daily lives-establishing genuine parent-child relationships and living together in harmony.
Today, the world stands at a historically critical crossroads—faced with the decision of whether it can accept and live together with Heavenly Parent, who is the True Parent of humankind and the owner of all things.
We see signs of resistance emerging globally, backed by forces of evil that persist to the very end.
Yet even in these turbulent times, True Mother has continually emphasized the importance of recognizing the historical truth: that Heavenly Parent is alive and actively working throughout history.
What is required of us now is to view history from Heavenly Parent’s perspective, become partners aligned with that truth and heart, and furthermore, to widely boldly proclaim the new Word of Cheon Il Guk to the world.
In Washington D.C., there is a holy ground that True Parents designated during their 1965 world tour.
Standing there, one wonders: what kind of prayer did True Parents offer in that place?
Right next to it, the Korean War Veterans Memorial bears the inscription:
“Our nation honors her sons and daughters who answered the call to defend a country they never knew and a people they never met.”
