The more you convey the message from the Rally to Return to the Original Fatherland and Hometown of August 1, 2006, to the people of your country, and the more people learn about True Parents, the greater hope will they come to have.
Such a time is now upon us. Heavenly fortune has come to us. That is why your responsibility is important. There are many second generation members in the blessed families in Colombia.
You blessed families need to create an environment where your children can live practicing true love in free surroundings. Many countries are suffering from such issues as domestic problems and drug problems.
Colombia, too, is troubled by problems connected to drugs, violence, juveniles and AIDS among others. All these problems can be resolved through the true love and true family movement. Through it, you should reinvent the image of Colombia.
It is now time for you to translate this into action. You need to make sure that every person in every nook and cranny of this country knows about True Parents. You need to plant the tradition of true family, true lineage and true love.
To accomplish this, all activities including those of the Collegiate Association for the Research of Principles (CARP) and the youths' pure love movement need to be carried out in earnest, so that Colombia can be remembered by God. (2006.08.02, Santa Fe de Bogota, Colombia) Switzerland was in a tight spot and found it difficult to become independent, because it was kept down by its powerful neighbors. However, it was a good place for people from other countries who had ideological or religious problems to come and settle down.
For instance, it is said that Lenin stayed there, and Protestant leaders also lived and worked there. That country had good ancestors who looked ahead into the future; its people also had great love for their country, so they were able to make their country a prosperous and powerful one while preserving nature as it was.
I have come to think that, if this country also had such farsighted leaders, it could appear in front of the world as a nation with a beautiful environment equalling that of Switzerland. In terms of mineral resources, Venezuela is one of the top five countries in the world, but the country itself is still poor. Everyone, from statesmen to citizens, should accept True Parents and begin anew.
Even if only those of you present here today were to make effort for the eternal peace and development of your country, as long as you would work so hard that it seemed as if twenty-four hours a day were not enough, there would still be hope. (2006.08.08, Caracas, Venezuela) |
