Happy Mother’s Day!

Wishing a happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers and mother figures around the world we’re celebrating this Sunday, May 8, including our very own True Mother!

Below is an excerpt from True Mother’s memoir, Mother of Peace (2020), in which she shares her great wisdom and parental love for all humanity.

We all dimly remember our mother's warm touch. This is the very touch with which I long to embrace all of humankind as a mother of the universe and a mother of peace. As we all know from our own experience, a mother hears her child's cry very clearly and she has no thought but to quickly run to her child. This is because a mother's love and attention are directed solely towards her children...

"I love you." These are the sweetest words. They are the first words, because through love all life begins. But human beings can speak these words either responsibly or irresponsibly... For human beings, in contrast to animals, love is accompanied by responsibility. 

Love practiced with moral responsibility is what we call "true love." A husband and wife who believe in the sanctity of love and fulfill their responsibility accordingly are practicing true love. Through their love, God creates a nest of happiness. True love makes us true husbands and wives who, after giving birth to sons and daughters, grow to become true parents.
