When people get married, they say they will love each other until they die. In saying this, one can either just say, “I will love you until I die (Juk-dorok sarang-handa)” or draw out the first word, “Ju-u-u-u-u-k…” for ten years, a hundred years, or a hundred million years, and then say the rest, “…dorok sarang-handa.” Which would you like better? Would you rather just hear it Chapter 7 • The Love of a True Husband and a True Wife 489 simply as, “Juk-dorok sarang-handa”? The young women here, how about some answers? You would be happier if your spouse says, “Ju-u-u-u-u-k” for say, a hundred million years, and then “dorok sarang-handa” than if he just said, “Jukdorok sarang-handa.” The more drawn out it is, the better. If a husband meets his wife and says, “Ju-u-u-u-u-k,” and ten years later, he says again, “Ju-u-u-uu-k,” and then says “Juk-dorok saranghanda” after he passes over the age of fifty. If only he can do it, she will say she loves him beyond measure. This is how it is. She will like him, even if he has a big belly and waddles when he walks. (37-25, 1970.12.22)

    You need to understand that there is no one on earth who would not be devoted to parents who are willing to suffer and carry the cross for their children forever, and give such parental love that the world and even God Himself would exclaim, “You are much better than I!”? Wouldn’t you want to be in such a position? If you live with a heart of gratitude for the life you are leading at present, even after giving everything you have over many years, yet always keeping His thoughts in your mind, then God Himself will praise you. If children live with such an attitude toward their parents, husbands toward their wives, wives toward their husbands, the family toward the nation, and the nation toward the world, how splendid that world will be! When that happens, God will not want to stay in the spirit world. He will quickly descend to the center of the human world and dwell here, recommencing the work of creation so that everyone can live abundantly. (215-243, 1991.2.20)

Section 12. Rituals in the Life of Blessed Families

Summary:
Human beings were originally born with a deep spiritual bond to God’s Pledge and must live and die by its words, reciting it every Sunday with their families as a powerful declaration that cuts off all connections to Satan’s world and clears away the week’s mistakes. True Father explains that traditional Korean ancestor worship and Confucian customs closely match heavenly law, making it essential for members to lovingly care for their ancestors’ graves, plant trees, and clean their hometowns to honor their lineage. Because every individual is a historical reincarnation who carries the faces of countless generations, human beings are the ultimate fruits of a long history that worked for hundreds of thousands of years to create them. Ultimately, by maintaining deep devotion to both the family Pledge and their ancestors, members establish a strong foundation of goodness that allows God’s laws to firmly take root on the earth.

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1287

    The sexual organs are the palace of love, the palace in which eternal life is born, the palace that inherits the future descendants and lineage which will succeed to the eternally unchanging traditions of heaven. It is the palace of true life, true love and true lineage. It is the most precious place of all. You cannot do anything you like with it. You cannot use it without permission from God. It is a place that cannot be touched by anyone other than your husband or wife, who has gained the approval of God and the universe. (216-207, 1991.3.31)

Cheon Seong Gyeong 1261

    How did the devil bring about the Fall? Through the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil? Where did they cover themselves after eating the fruit? Did they cover up their mouths or their hands? Didn’t they cover up the sexual parts of their bodies? This became the seed that sowed evil. They fell before they had fully matured, while they were still adolescents. As the lineage of humankind in world history stemmed form this act, in the Last Days the phenomenon of such relationships will thrive. The time will come, that, across the world, young people destroy the ethics of love. They will hide in the shadows, just like Adam and Eve, and have no fear of heaven. That will be the time when the era of Satan’s worldwide dominion will come to the earth. That is when we will be faced with the iron hammer of God. (200-227, 1990.2.25)

12.3. Hoondokhwae

Summary:
Hoondokhwae, the daily practice of reading the eight sacred texts designated by Rev. Moon, must be done by every blessed husband and wife for at least one hour every morning or evening, a strict standard that True Father himself never breaks even when exhausted from global tours. Members are expected to constantly read these books—such as Blessed Family and the Ideal Kingdom and the Divine Principle—wherever they are, carrying a book in their pocket and recording their reading hours. True Father explains that the word “hoondok” means flowing like a river and “selling” or sharing God’s words with others, as keeping these words to yourself is a spiritual mistake. Because these texts are God’s own words spoken through True Father and record his victories over the satanic world, reading them repeatedly until they become a part of you has the revolutionary power to move your heart and body. Ultimately, Hoondokhwae is True Father’s way of passing down the priceless spiritual treasures he gathered through a lifetime of extreme hardship, and members must be diligent in studying them to stay healthy and build a victorious foundation on earth.

Families Pledge before God

You should report about everything in your daily life during the week.

    What do you think the color of love would be? Do you think it would be black at night, white during the daytime, and yellow in the evening? In the central color of love there is a strength that can bring peace and unity and create the concept of the equality of humanity. Isn’t the Unificationist concept of love beautiful? The color of love in today’s American society is, in short, a disgusting color of death. Instead of realizing the world of the eternal ideal of creation through conjugal love, they are sinking into the pit of death. Those who thoughtlessly enter the most holy place of love will suffer the fire of judgment. Until they receive the Blessing, men and women must keep their most holy place of love undefiled, and once they have made love, they must continue to keep it undefiled. However, Americans generally are wicked men and women who violate love’s sanctuary.
    Americans who do not accept marriage through the Blessing are nothing but patients who cannot see ahead because they are blinded by fallen love. If American society continues to behave like this, it will have no hope for the future but instead will be filled only with despair. It is crystal clear that it will eventually be destroyed – not by God’s judgment but rather by people who have lost their humanity. (Blessed Family – 344)

    If there is a professor from a marine university in that area, or if any studies on the fish in these waters have been done, you should conduct tests to see whether those studies were correct and accurately record the details in a book. You should inspect the seas that border the coastal states, gather everybody together and make plans to fish anywhere you go. In those states that border on the ocean, you should measure the depth and temperature of all the fishing areas, conduct research on the types of fish that live in that sea area, and then make a book on your findings. I am buying boats for you so that you can accomplish this. All twenty-four states bordering on the ocean should compile a book about their fishing grounds. If your state is not near an ocean, you should do so anyway centering on its lakes. Then from now on I am going to coach everyone on how to farm fish.

Offer Devotion Alongside the Children of True Parents’ Family

You should all become proud sons and daughters before True Parents and children who can bear fruit on the earth.

    I fought with the mosquitoes in the Pantanal to the extent that my entire body has been scarred by mosquito bites. In the mosquito world, the mosquitoes are saying, “Who has tasted the blood of the True Parents? Come here quickly!” That is why mosquitoes come to me the most. When I drop my fishhook into the water, the big fish bite first on my hook. Then many other fish follow. It is strange. Even God thinks it’s a mystery. (278-97, 1996.5.1)

    People today do not know what it means to die. It is not a sorrowful occasion. You should see it as a transition from a lower dimensional world to a higher dimensional world, through the bridge of love. That is why the Unification Church does not call it death but Seunghwa. It is ascending to a higher dimension. This is only possible through love. (137-316, 1986.1.5)

11.2. Holy Candles

11.2.4. Tongil (Unification) Candle

Summary:
The Unification Candle originated from a special 120-day prayer condition offered by True Mother and the True Children from September 5, 1995, to January 2, 1996, to support True Father’s crucial speaking tour in America. During this period, the children united without objection and lit this candle every night at midnight to pray and offer deep spiritual devotion from their various locations. By bequeathing this unique candle—which is physically one but spiritually represents three candles infused with the True Children’s love—True Mother encourages all members to connect with this flame of loyalty and fulfill their own responsibilities. Ultimately, lighting the Unification Candle serves as an eternal promise to maintain an unchanging heart of love, helping to expand a holy foundation until all of humankind is purified and can enter heaven together.

God’s Love and Light Is Symbolized by Holy Candles

A candle sacrifices itself to give off light. In this way, it symbolizes the need for sacrifice in order to unite humanity centered on God.

    Where will people go? They will go to the mountains in search of nature. Yet, it will become boring just living in a mountain area. That is why people will go to the sea. In the future, people should go into the sea and eventually live there. I have already asked various scholars to carry out research on submarines, and their work is almost done. They say that if a submarine goes down just thirty meters into the water, it will be calm underneath, even if there is a storm above. No matter how hard the wind blows or how rough the waves are, there is no disturbance thirty meters below the water surface. There are no winds or waves thirty meters below. That is why if you press a button and go down thirty or a hundred meters, you will immediately be able to enjoy the scenery of the ocean using a periscope. (236-309, 1992.11.9)

    Only by receiving the Blessing will it be possible to register into the Kingdom of Heaven. Through this, humankind can finally inherit the Kingdom of God. They can form heavenly families, tribes, a people, nations, world, and cosmos. Therefore, the Kingdom of Heaven is formed, and they become citizens of that kingdom by being registered in it. Originally, the relatives of the first parents should have been registered in the kingdom. However, because those parents fell, we had to pass through numerous periods in history, and gather those to be registered from the entire world. That is why you need to restore through indemnity the unfulfilled mission of Jesus, by accomplishing your duties as tribal messiahs. In order to do so, you need to take responsibility for each nation in the world and dedicate that nation to the Kingdom of Heaven. (269‑303, 1995.5.1)

11.2. Holy Candles

Summary:
The Unification movement utilizes sacred candles to bless and protect families, beginning with the Shimjung Candle, created on January 5, 1961, which symbolizes True Parents and is lit during prayer to comfort God’s sorrowful heart and reinforce human determination during this time of restoration. Next, the Birth Candle originated with the birth of True Parents’ first daughter and is lit specifically during childbirth to completely sanctify the spiritual atmosphere and block Satan from approaching the newborn baby. The Ae Cheon Candles, or Love of God Candles, were created on May 16, 1984, and are used in pairs to symbolize how a husband and wife must sacrifice for each other—just like a candle and wick combining to produce light—in order to bring divine peace and unity to humanity. Ultimately, lighting these candles creates a powerful realm of unified heart that blocks out all evil, discord, and injustice, bringing God’s eternal protection and sovereign power over both the spirit and physical worlds.
