The materials on this website may stir deep questions and, for some, a real crisis of faith. I can bring Mother's words to the surface, but I cannot resolve that crisis for you. Coming to terms with what Mother has revealed is your own portion of responsibility. Please use this site as a resource for your study, be patient with yourself, and give the process the time it deserves. What your heart and conscience call you to do is, and must remain, your choice.

A new speech has been added to the Holy Mother Han's Words archive: "What Age Is This!" (지금이 어떤 시대인가!). Holy Mother Han gave this talk on May 29, 2023 (Cheon Il Guk Year 11, 4th Month, 10th Day) at Yeosu D'Ocean Resort, at the Resolution and Commissioning Ceremony for Districts 3 & 4 Public Officials for National Restoration. About 70 people attended, including national youth church leaders. This is a verbatim translation, transcribed directly from the audio recording of the talk. It was translated and checked by Dr. Yeunhee Chang and the OBD Team. The PDF presents the Korean source text alongside the English, with translator's notes and footnotes. In this talk, Holy Mother Han traces Heavenly Parent's providence from creation and the Fall through Israel, Jesus and Christianity, and explains how Korea was prepared for the birth of the Only Begotten Daughter. She recalls her own life, from her birth in 1943 to her resolution in 1960, declares that the age of True Parents has begun, and calls on those present to witness and achieve national restoration while she is still on earth.

A new translation has been added to Holy Mother Han's Words under Resources. On April 18, 2022, Holy Mother Han spoke to key leaders at the Cheon Jeong Gung Palace. In these partial words, she says that "the button was fastened wrong" and must be undone and refastened properly. She explains that Father's qualification as True Parent came through the Only Begotten Daughter, and that after becoming True Parent he was meant to stand together with her and worship before Heaven. She also speaks of the move toward a dual structure, which would begin at Christmas and lead to the March 16th dedication. The PDF presents the Korean source text side by side with the English translation, along with commentary and footnotes on key terms. It was translated by Dr. Yeunhee Chang and the OBD Editorial Team. You can read it now in Holy Mother Han's Words under Resources.

A new dream has been added to the Dreams collection. In "The Impact of Witnessing and Rejections," R. S. of Chicago shares a dream she received on August 7, 2026, which was An Shi Il. In the dream, True Mother joins a house full of second-generation members, laughing and talking with them. When the dreamer runs after a departing guest to introduce her to the Only Begotten Daughter, she is met with a powerful wave of fear and anger. Through it all, Mother stays strong, serene, and close beside her. The dreamer also reflects on her own efforts to tell others about the Only Begotten Daughter, on how rejection affects both the witness and Mother, and on the comfort of remembering that she never witnesses alone. You can read the full dream and her reflection on the Dreams page.

On August 31, 2026, South Korea's Seoul Central District Court sentenced Mother Hak Ja Han Moon, 83-year-old leader of the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification, to two years in prison. The prosecution had requested thirteen years. The case centered on allegations that Mother Han authorized gifts—a Chanel handbag and diamond necklace—to a former First Lady, and that she was responsible for unauthorized political contributions by her organization. The court found the total donations involved amounted to less than $250,000. Writing for Bitter Winter, Massimo Introvigne argues that "innocent defendants should be acquitted, not receive 'lenient' sentences to save the prosecutors' face." He contends the prosecution's case relied heavily on testimony from an expelled executive whose accounts were contradictory and unreliable, and frames the case as part of a broader pattern of pressure against conservative religious communities in South Korea.
