Family Festival and Peace Blessing
October 27, Palace of Congress,
Albanian, Tirana
Heavenly Parent, we are thankful and
truly grateful. Heavenly Parent, we know how much You have looked forward to
this day. Thank you for blessing and being with the 1,200 couples who have
gathered here today, representing the 12,000 couples who have received the Blessing
and are newly reborn as Your children.
When we
think of the past in Albania, we know that its people have gone through a sorrowful
history. God, please watch over this country and embrace its people. Through
the birth of these newly blessed families who can open the new age of Heavenly
Albania that attends Heavenly Parent, please liberate, in this moment, the
resentment and pain of ancestors who unjustly suffered and died in the past. I know
that all Your children blessed today will do their utmost to complete our
Heavenly Parent’s providence both in the spiritual and physical worlds.
Heavenly
Parent, thank you. How long have You endured and waited for this day to come? Now,
Albania is no longer that nation in the Balkans with a miserable past, but a
Heavenly Albania where You preside, a nation that can stand at the center of
this world. I sincerely thank You for bestowing grace allowing Your
providential Will to further expand through the blessed families who have
received the Blessing today.
Now, the government,
religious leaders, and the people of Albania have become registered as citizens
of Cheon Il Guk, a wish that You have longed for so dearly. Please remember
this occasion.
Today, we
open a new page as You watch over this Blessing and the people of Albania feel
hope for the future and begin anew as chosen families of Heavenly Albania where
You are present. So I pray that You will remember and bless this people!
I pray and
proclaim all these things in True Parents’ name!
