1) Preparation for Attendance

What is the age of justification by attendance? Is it the age of showing authority? Some of you are confused between attendance and authority. In the age of justification by attendance, you must have the exact center. There are manners in attending God, and God will be very angry with you if you violate them. (17-187)

Endurance is of foremost importance in attending God. For whom do you have to endure? You have to endure to the end for the purpose of the whole, equipped with the leading ideology. There is no complaint there. This way, the foundation of the Kingdom of Heaven will be expanded. (44-18)

When the time comes to attend God, how do you show your filial piety to Him? With what attitude do you attend your Father? Where can you meet your Father? If you live deep in the mountains, you will sincerely want to see our members and you will worry for some member, if he or she is sick.

You will be dying to see the dear members and church leaders. You will experience such yearnings. Without such yearnings, you cannot attend your Father. You have always to experience such a heart of yearning. If you say, "It's already twelve o'clock. Let's go to bed," you are giving God trouble. There is no concept of day and night in the Kingdom of Heaven. You should not worry about time when you are talking to someone with your hearts connected. (17-293)

The first commandment for human beings is to love God. Should you be dying to love God or should you just love God temporarily? (We should be dying to love God.) Raise your hands, those who are dying to love God! You should love God even if you may die being struck by thunder. If you are dying to love God, nothing is impossible for you in your lifetime.

If you stay at the top of the Backdoo Mountain, do you want to cultivate the land full of stones to raise potatoes and attend God with an offering of potatoes? Will you do that or not? (We will.) You should do that. If you make your wife cultivate the land like a cow does, since you have no cow there, are you to be struck by thunder? Do you stop when God says, "You must stop"? You should accomplish with all your heart and sincerity, shouldn't you? (Yes, we should.) (37-25)

2) The Attitude of the Life of Attendance

You should lead a life of attendance. When you wake up in the morning, you should say your first word to Heaven, and when you go out of your house, you should move your right leg first in order to attend Heaven. If you live like this in your everyday life, you can lead a life of attendance. Your attitude of life should be based on the original standards. (17-296)

How do you lead a life of attendance on God? You have to think that you are one with God and you are one with the True Parents. You should think as follows, "Everything belongs to God and to the True Parents. What belongs to the True Parents belongs to the Kingdom of the True Parents and then it belongs to me." You should always lead a life of attendance whenever you speak, wake up, or sleep, or in whatever you do. If you have such a concept in your mind, you will be protected from Satan's invasion twenty-four hours a day. (161-231)

When you were happy, how happy did you make God? You will be very grateful for receiving a meal when you are very hungry. You should be more grateful than that in attending God. You should attend God whenever you eat meals or whenever you are in difficulty. You should give God unforgettable memories. (17-291)
