The Seunghwa Ceremony began with Heung-jin, did it not? What is the meaning of “victory of love” in the “Day of the Victory of Love”? It means victory over death. If it had been any other person, the mother would have been writhing in sorrow, crying and wailing from deep within. Yet, True Mother should not shed even one tear. We had to hold this ceremony within three days. I had to proclaim that death had been overcome. This is the way that the Seunghwa Ceremony came to be held in the Unification Church. It is a ceremony of going beyond death and onward to joy. Those who go through the Seunghwa Ceremony can easily go beyond all the valleys in the spirit world. Of course, there will be some who fail to do so and remain in between. You have to know this. The Seunghwa Ceremony began with Heung-jin. (212-96, 1991.1.2)

Heung-jin, the second son of Rev. and Mrs. Moon, died after a car accident.

Because I knew the principle of restoration through indemnity, I had to grow older alone until I reached forty. Moreover, I could not take an older wife, but married someone who was eighteen years old. My bride was not supposed to be older than eighteen! There were many women in the Unification Church with university degrees or even doctorates who were gazing at me with their eyes wide open as if they wanted to swallow me. They were howling like a pack of wolves, but I ignored them and welcomed Mother who was totally unworldly. How complicated that was! (164-61, 1987.5.3)

Etiquette for Attending True Parents

Section 1. True Parents are the Center of Blessed Families

1.2. Our dedication in attending True Parents

    The pathways by which fallen people come to God have differed according to the age. In the Old Testament Age, people could offer sacrifices; in the New Testament Age they could believe in Jesus, the Son of God; in the Completed Testament Age they can attend the True Parents. (20-340, 1968.7.20) Continue reading “In the Completed Testament Age, We Can Attend the True Parents”

You really must raise the flag. When you put up the flag, the same situation will occur as when the Israelites were leaving Egypt, when the first born of all the Egyptians were killed. The Israelites avoided death for their first born and survived by putting lamb’s blood on their doors. It is just like that. When the Israelites were bitten by snakes and dying, while wandering in the wilderness under Moses, those who looked at the bronze serpent lived, didn’t they? Likewise, when the satanic world was going to ruin, those who believed in Jesus lived

Here Rev. Moon is talking about the Unification Church (Holy Spirit Association for the Unification of World Christianity) flag, which now is displayed simultaneously with the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification Flag, so either or both can be displayed.

You can purchase a Family Federation flag here.

    Those who deny God are more pitiful than people who are starving to death. The latter will be granted a certain level in the other world according to the merits of their good faith, but atheists will have no foothold because they deny the spirit world. They drift about in the spirit world like a mass of clouds. They become wandering spirits. Just as clouds gather and produce rain, they congregate and exert an evil influence. They all go to hell and inflict pain there. Although I know this all too clearly, I must save them, and this is why I am doing this work.
    It is a serious problem that people are dying. Sixty thousand now die each day. Twenty million are dying of hunger annually means sixty thousand per day. When the parents, siblings and children of the dying see them, the lamentable heart-wrenching story unfolds. If those who are known as the True Parents do not feel compassion and make the relevant preparations, the fact that they were contemporaries of those people starving on earth will become a source of resentment.
