Drawing Closer Through Her Own Words

I believe Dr. Chang serves an important role in this providence of bringing Holy Mother Han to the world. She is both a great orator and thinker, while carrying a genuineness of heart that allows True Mother's [Holy Mother Han's] words to shine through. Thank you.

The greatest value of the content is the access it gives us to True Mother's [Holy Mother Han's] own words. Even just one translated speech brought me so much closer to her in a whole new way. The personal experiences Dr. Chang has had with True Mother [Holy Mother Han] directly — and the stories she shared — helped me grow closer to her. I could feel that unanimously from everyone gathered.

One realization that stood out to me was understanding what it truly means to pray in attendance to Holy Mother Han. I came to understand that because it was True Mother [Holy Mother Han] alone who opened the gates of Cheon Il Guk, and since it was her from the beginning who should have stood at the center of the providence, drawing close to her brings us to a higher place with our Heavenly Parent. That was eye-opening and a point of deep repentance for me.

I also came to a deeper understanding of the children of Holy Mother Han — particularly how much pain they carried witnessing what their mother endured. Putting those pieces together for the first time helped me feel a greater compassion for them, and made their own struggles make so much more sense.

Another point that resonated with me deeply was reflecting on second generation members who quietly stepped away, sensing that something was wrong. I have always felt that before we could bring anyone back, we needed to first clean our house. What we decide is right or wrong shapes our culture and how we treat people. I am hopeful and excited about what it means to build that culture around what True Mother [Holy Mother Han] has actually called us to.

God bless you, Dr. Chang.
