Beloved brothers and sisters,

I offer my heartfelt appreciation to all members who are offering jeongseong for True Father’s speedy recovery.

I know that your greatest concern at this time is True Father’s health. Therefore, I would like to share some recent developments regarding True Father.

The doctor’s opinion yesterday had indicated that the next forty-eight hours would be critical and that Father’s chances were 50:50. We understand that True Father’s condition has not greatly changed since yesterday but the doctor mentioned this morning that a lot of the swelling had subsided and that he saw some improvement compared to the previous day. I firmly believe that True Father will pull through.

Early in the morning on 6.28 by the heavenly calendar (August 15), Hyung-jin nim had personally or through his assistants contacted all the True Children.

Beginning with True Mother, Hyung-jin nim’s family and Kook-jin nim’s family, In-jin nim’s family, Yeon-jin nim and Jeong-jin nim who arrived in Korea, are watching over the hospital room 24 hours while offering prayer and jeongseong. Today we expect Ye-jin nim, Kwon-jin nim and his wife, Eun-jin nim and Sun-jin nim’s family to arrive.

I am sure that many of our brothers and sisters were concerned about Hyun-jin nim, but fortunately he was contacted. He came to the hospital and visited True Father who was in a deep sleep.

Yesterday at 6 pm, the Korean Headquarters invited the elder members, relatives of True Parents, heads of providential organizations and key leaders and briefed them in detail of True Father’s circumstances. They resolved to offer prayer and jeongseong together with the entire Unification Family for True Father’s recovery. We have also heard that many members of the Unification Family throughout the world, after hearing the news about True Father, voluntarily began fasting, offering vigil night prayers and other jeongseong.

Like the old saying that sincerity moves Heaven, I believe that our sincerity and jeongseong shall reach Heaven and that we will surely see True Father in good health again.

Thank you.
