May the blessings and love of Heavenly Parent and the True Parents be with you always.
Recently, with just 7 months remaining until the Entrance Ceremony for the Cheon Il Sanctum in Cheon Won Gung, True Mother gave special instructions to "swiftly establish plans for the Entrance Ceremony." In response, the Organizing Committee for the Entrance Ceremony for the Cheon Il Sanctum in Cheon Won Gung offered a special 7-day devotional period, during which its members (and other invited leaders) worked together to plan and prepare in detail. Blessed families and members worldwide are also connecting with True Mother's heart by offering eight special 40-day periods of devotions leading up to the Entrance Ceremony.
In light of this, and to prepare for the celebration of the upcoming 65th True Children's Day, we will conduct the 5th 40-day Special Devotional Period as detailed below. We warmly request all leaders and blessed members to actively participate, and to join in offering their sincere devotions for next April’s events.
