Blessing Fest: Powerful and Incredible

The recent Blessing Festival streamed live on Dec. 18 has been called “powerful” and “incredible,” touching the hearts of many around the world.

Thousands tuned in to the event where participants learned more about the God-centered values and lifestyle of the Marriage Blessing. The program, hosted by Richard Curry and Diane Hack, was streamed online as participants joined from the comfort of their homes and through local watch parties. 

“It’s a very powerful message to all of us,” said one viewer, Maria Canarsky. “The Marriage Blessing is bringing families and couples together for a world of peace.”

“I’m so grateful to True Mother,” said another viewer, Jonathan Minga. “Her commitment to connecting all people with God’s heart is truly incredible, thank you.”

True Mother was featured in a special video montage during the program where her message about God’s hope for humanity and the importance of the Marriage Blessing was shared.

“There was such a beautiful gathering in Las Vegas,” said Rev. Juanita Pierre-Louis. “Everyone appreciated the Blessing Fest; it made you feel good and feel inspired. It really moved us and True Mother looked beautiful.”

The program also featured three couples who received the Marriage Blessing from True Parents, as they discussed their candid experiences on love, hope, family and faith.

“I saw his picture and my heart was touched,” shared Rev. Marina Acevedo, who was matched to her husband, Rev. Jhon, by True Parents through their photos. Raised a devout Catholic and a native of the Philippines, Rev. Marina took a “leap of faith” in receiving the Marriage Blessing to Rev. Jhon of Colombia.

Faith leaders shared their testimonies about the Marriage Blessing as well, with various musical acts performing uplifting original songs throughout the event. True Mother’s message relayed God’s fervent desire to see all people come together as one global family — transcending nationality, religion, race, and other barriers. The Marriage Blessing is the path toward achieving this, said True Parents, while bringing peace and unity among people of different cultures and backgrounds.

“The Blessing is the key to America’s revival and the revival of the world,” said True Mother during the event. “After 60 years of conducting worldwide Blessing campaigns, now 150 countries around the world have pledged to support advancing True Parents’ providence.”

“Through receiving the Blessing from True Parents,” she said, “the door by which you stand as true children in front of our Heavenly Parent has opened. The Blessing is wonderful because the more you share it, the greater it becomes.”
