This message contains the congratulatory remarks made by Prophet Samuel Radebe and Bishop Nancy Rosario at the Celebration of the 66th Anniversary of the Holy Wedding of the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind and the First Anniversary of the Entrance into the Cheon Won Gung Cheonil Sanctum, held on May 2, 2026.
Good morning to everyone!
Our Beloved Holy Mother Han, distinguished religious leaders, beloved brides and grooms, ladies and gentlemen,
It is with heartfelt gratitude and honor that I am here to address you on this occasion of the Holy Wedding Ceremony, the celebration of the 66th Holy Wedding Anniversary of the True Parents, as well as the First Anniversary of the Entrance into the Cheon Il Sanctum of Cheon Won Gung.
This Holy Wedding that took place in 1960 as the Marriage Supper of the Lamb with Father Moon, opened the way for millions of Marriage Blessings that followed. I am grateful that I could take part and host many of these Holy Weddings in South Africa, in 2018 and 2019.
Our world is currently suffering from many problems, and family breakdown is the major cause of all of them. I fully concur with Father and Mother Moon that peace begins with me, peace begins with my family. Unless we address family issues with a spiritual and divine perspective first, there is no way we can create peaceful and loving families. A spiritual problem needs a spiritual solution!
To the couples who will be blessed, thank you for taking the vow to create our Creator’s loving and faithful families! In our time, such unions carry an even deeper purpose: to help restore humanity to a path of righteousness, peace, and order.
At its core, marriage is the foundation upon which a structured and sustainable family is built. It is a union between a man and a woman, each bringing distinct yet complementary energies essential for the balance and continuity of the family unit.
The masculine energy, grounded in logic and leadership, and the feminine energy, rooted in nurturing, intuition, and creation, work together to form a harmonious whole. In this balance, the strength of the family, and ultimately of society, is sustained.
For this reason, those who enter into the covenant of marriage must recognize their alignment with the spiritual realm. I often advise that the decision to marry should not be made in isolation. One must involve the Creator, the deities, and one’s good ancestral guides. While we may believe we know what we want, the spiritual realm sees beyond our limited understanding and guides us toward what is truly aligned with our purpose.
Each of us has been brought into this world with a purpose to fulfil. Therefore, the person you choose as your life partner must be aligned with that purpose. There is little more painful than being bound in a union that does not serve your destiny. May our Creator’s grace be with each one of you!
Last year, I had the privilege to take part in the procession as we had the Entrance Ceremony. Time flies so quickly! One year later, here we are, celebrating the anniversary. It is just unfortunate that this is taking place without the chief architect, Holy Mother Han!
As I said last year after I visited her at the Detention Center, she is going through “an unintentional sacrifice for something greater to come.” We need to believe and unite with her at this most important point in human history. Holy Mother Han is going through a course that will yield great fruits very soon. As a mother, she is going through labor pains to deliver a new Korea, and a new world!
I said last time, let us be on fire, testify about her great accomplishments. The spirit world expects us to do just that. Be on fire! I heard that she has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. This is very good! The world needs to know and recognize what she has done for the sake of world peace.
It is amazing that we, with such a diversity of spiritual systems, religions, cultures, traditions and nationalities, can come together to open our minds, to harmonize with each other, and to share our concerns about the future of humankind. I would like to congratulate and commend our beloved Holy Mother Han for this accomplishment! True Mother, we love you! Very much!
Closer to my conclusion, I am Imboni, a spiritual guide (in our language), who practices African indigenous spirituality (ancient). I also got my calling when I was 16 years old. When you are spiritually attuned, you can recognize genuine spiritual leaders. It was not difficult for me to recognize Holy Mother Han.
Father and Mother Moon have been specially anointed by God and throughout their lives together, they have made tremendous contributions towards world peace.
True Mother is giving hope to us in Africa. In Africa, we are so proud of her. Only fools reject her and her very great achievements. I said, last year, if Korea can’t recognize and appreciate her, we will take her to Africa. Brothers and sisters, please, wake up, and be on fire!
The Holy Sanctum is God’s dwelling. This is truly a masterpiece of Heaven’s ingenuity. People from all races, nationalities, and cultures will come here. True Mother is the “glue” that is bringing us together. She is calling us to cooperate, to work together in harmony and unity, to create and build one human family under God!
In conclusion, happy celebrations! My wife and I wish all the couples here a blessed family life. United, we can create a world of lasting peace for all humanity. As the saying goes, “United, we stand; divided, we fall!” To tackle the problems of this world, it is about time leaders of different faith-traditions stand together.
Holy Mother Han, we are with you!
Thank you very much!
