Beloved Blessed Families and Members around the world!
The New Year of 2026, the Byeong-O Year (丙午年), is dawning. As we welcome the New Year, I sincerely pray that the grace and blessings of our Heavenly Parent will be abundant upon you, your families, and the foundations of your lives. The year 2026 is the Year of the Red Horse.
With the vibrant energy of fire (火) combined with the dynamic vitality of the horse, we anticipate a year filled with overflowing energy and momentum.
At the beginning of 2025, the True Parents proclaimed the New Year’s motto that will be
handed down for generations to come, starting
from Cheon Il Guk Year 13:
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!
Through this motto for the year, True Parents clearly revealed the three core elements of the
providence that will continue from the 13th year of Cheon Il Guk onward for generations.
First, they proclaimed that the providential age is one in which we attend and live together with the
Creator, our Heavenly Parent, in substantial ways.
Second, they defined our identity as the chosen people united with the True Parents.
Third, they clarified our mission as becoming the true sons and daughters of Cheon Il Guk who fulfill
the responsibility of the chosen people.
This motto is not a message limited to the year 2025 alone; it remains a living request from Heaven
for the New Year of 2026, the Year of the Red (Fire) Horse. At this time, I hope we can once again
deeply engrave in our hearts the love and earnest urgency of the True Parents contained within it,
and I would like to share reflections on these three points.
First: The Providential Age
Last year, through the Cheon Won Gung Cheonil Sanctum Entrance Ceremony, Heavenly Parent, as the owner of the universe, reclaimed the rightful position to fully embrace and love all of God’s sons and daughters. Accordingly, the original order based on the principles of creation was established, and, in
the name of Holy Mother Han, the gates of the kingdom of heaven of Cheon Il Guk were opened
wide.
We have now entered the age in which blessed families are called to embody the life of the earthly
kingdom of heaven—attending in substance and living together with Heavenly Parent at the
individual, family, and tribal levels. On October 28, speaking from the detention center, True Mother
once again made clear, “The responsibility of the chosen people is to attend Heavenly Parent.”
Second: Our Identity
All blessed families are the chosen people united with the True Parents. As a chosen people selected and established by Heaven for the completion of the providence, they are providential partners who have been creating a new history together since Cheon Il Guk Foundation Day.
Regarding the identity of blessed families as the chosen people,
True Mother spoke as follows:
Although the internal and external conditions for the settlement of Cheon Il Guk have now been
prepared, the people have not yet reached the level Heaven desires. Then why has witnessing
been blocked? The reason is that we have not become model true families who are practicing
true love. We must show the world true families that live together with God. Where there is true
love, people sense its fragrance and are naturally drawn toward it. If I really become a true person
and am transformed by true love, I can exert a great and positive inf luence on families, tribes,
nations, and countries.
(True Mother, March 7, 2023, Hawaii)
On November 4, even while at the detention center, Mother once again earnestly urged, “Only
the True Family Movement can bring about world peace.”
Third: Our Mission
True Parents are continually encouraging the blessed families to become the true sons and
daughters of Cheon Il Guk who fulfill the responsibility of the chosen people. The essence
of the mission of the chosen blessed families is to stand as the children of the direct lineage of the
True Parents of Heaven, Earth, and Humankind, living as the true sons and daughters of Cheon Il
Guk.
True sons and daughters are those who attend Heavenly Parent and True Parents, become one
with them, and live together with them in every aspect of life. To do so, we must share the same
will, the same thoughts, and the same heart and purpose.
The era following the Cheon Won Gung Cheonil Sanctum Entrance Ceremony is one in which
blessed families must earnestly and substantially assume their responsibility. That responsibility can
be summarized in two areas: education and the Blessing.
Therefore, we are the ones entrusted with the responsibility to convey the truth about Holy
Mother Han to the world. Educating the people in the Chambumo Ron and the Great Epic of the
Chosen Han People of Korea is a solemn charge Heaven has placed upon us. The True Love
movement and True Family movement must begin with each of us and be fulfilled through our
own lives. In doing so, we will firmly establish our identity, testify through our lives to the essence of
blessed families, and convey that to the world. This is the blessing and grace Heaven has bestowed
upon us.
True Mother has earnestly urged us to work together to create an era in which the truth is clearly
revealed and recorded for history. Although True Mother is not physically present with us at this
time, we must move forward through the coming year with one united heart—praying for the well
being and victorious return of Holy Mother Han, True Mother, together with Missionaries Moon
Shin-chul and Moon Shin-heung, whom she has established as the Cheon Il Guk Inheritors of
Heaven’s Love and Blessing.
The image of True Mother walking the path of tribulation alone in detention is, in essence, the
image of Heavenly Mother and of Heavenly Parent. When small drops of water fall steadily upon a
single spot, they can pierce even solid rock. When those drops gather, they form rivers that flow into
the vast ocean. When the small devotions and love of the chosen blessed families unite in this way,
the well-being of Holy Mother Han, True Mother, will be safeguarded, and the time of her victorious
return will be hastened. The peaceful ideal world of one human family attending Heavenly Parent will
also be realized.
In the New Year 2026, may the grace and blessings of Heavenly Parent abound in your families and throughout your lives.
Thank you.
