As a global family member as well as inter-faith and true love practitioner, I appreciate very much the ‘True Parent’s Day celebration of unification movement. They are only group in the earth, who celebrate this day as holiday. They consider God as True Parents of heaven and earth. As image of God, everybody should be true parents by inheriting God’s love, life, and lineage. The unification member respects the founder Dr. Sun Myung Moon as true parents; however, member also practices selfless True Love to be true parents in family, in society, in nation and in global level by making public and objective efforts with total devotion.
Originally, the idea of True Parents’ Day was the central idea in God’s conception of the creation. After creating all things, God has created human beings to rule over them. The purpose for that God blessed human beings to take dominion over all things was none other than to establish True Parents.
The unification tradition explains, “Originally, Adam and Eve would have become True Parents by uniting with each other centered on God; then, Parents’ Day would have been established and the entire universe would have sung praises in the name of the Universal Parents. Thus, True Parents’ Day should have been a day of joy with the entire universe singing praises together in the name of the Parents. It was God’s deepest desire that this day be celebrated. Due to the fall of the first human ancestors, however, heaven and earth never saw this True Parents’ Day. Thus, God has never ceased working to realize His original plan for True Parents’ Day….When God can dwell within our hearts, only then, when we are joyful, will God be able to say, “Yes, your joy is my joy!” We should also establish a standard by which all people can say, “What you are grateful for? We are grateful for True Parents!”
