True Mother’s Blessing Prayer
“Beloved
Heavenly Parent, to whom we are truly grateful! You have had to walk such a
thorny path until this day to seek out humankind, whom You love. However, the
True Parents, who can complete Your ideal of creation, have finally appeared on
earth with the power to guide fallen people into the Heavenly Parent’s embrace
through the Marriage Blessing. They have had to walk an indescribably difficult
path until they could do so and establish all people as children whom Heavenly
Parent can love directly. You know how we have striven at the center of this
vast desert where sandstorms rage to seek the righteous people Heaven has
prepared, through whom we can find the people and the nations that can be
embraced by Heaven.
In this
country where 80 percent of the land is desert, You have prepared righteous
people from a very long time ago to create the environment where a Blessing
Ceremony can be held today. Through this Marriage Blessing, the dream of one
family of humanity centered on You, Heavenly Parent, transcending the barriers
of religion, race and culture, can be realized. And when those who have been
blessed today are able to stand in the position where they have fulfilled their
responsibilities in front of Heaven—that is, when they have fulfilled their
responsibilities as messiahs of their own tribes—this nation will become one
that can receive Heaven’s blessing and grace.
True
Parents are grateful for this and hope that, through these Blessed couples,
this country of Niger will become the Heavenly Niger attending Heavenly Parent
and become the center of the African continent and its beacon of light and
pride. I pray that the blessed couples of this people and this nation will be
able to take the lead in establishing the Kingdom of Heaven of freedom,
equality, peace, unity and happiness on earth, which is the beautiful garden
that You originally created, and the dream of humankind. I pray and proclaim
this in the name of True Parents.”
