Congratulations, everyone, on the Grand Ceremony to Celebrate the Birth of the Messiah. Today, together with all of you from throughout the country and throughout the world, we have been allowed to hold the Grand Ceremony to Celebrate the Birth of the Messiah with awe and joy from the bottom of our hearts, under the leadership of Kyoshu-sama, the only existence who reveals to us the will of Meishu-sama in this material world. For this, I offer my most sincere and heartfelt gratitude to God, to Jesus and Meishu-sama, and to Kyoshu-sama. As for Mayumi-okusama, I am sincerely thankful that she, together with Kyoshu-sama, is always offering her prayers filled with love for us members all over the world, while she serves through God’s blessing of purification. I am certain that Mayumi-okusama is here with us today at this ceremony. Today, Masaaki-sama, Kyoshu-sama’s successor, and Mami-okusama, Masaaki-sama’s wife, are in attendance. I would like to present them to you. Masaaki-sama, Mami-okusama, if you may, please stand. Thank you very much. Under Kyoshu-sama, as an existence that is one with Kyoshu-sama, Masaaki-sama is always awakening the hearts of us members all over the world in a considerable way. For this, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Masaaki-sama. Today, too, he will deliver a greeting after this. We greatly appreciate it. Furthermore, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Mami-okusama for giving her utmost effort on a daily basis, working closely with Kyoshu-sama, Mayumi-okusama and Masaaki-sama, and for always devoting herself to us members all over the world with a warm heart and with detailed care and attention in various matters. Also, Masaaki-sama and Mami-okusama’s children, Mei-sama and Miyu-sama, are participating today from a private reception room here at Hotel Okura Kobe. To us of World Church of Messiah, the two carry our hopes for a promising future. Together with all of you, I would like to sincerely pray that Mei-sama and Miyu-sama may thrive and be in good health. Now I would like to introduce the guests that are here with us today. From the religious corporation Oomoto, we have Mr. Uta Yamada, executive director, representing Ms. Kurenai Deguchi, their spiritual leader. Mr. Yamada, if you may, please stand. Thank you very much. I am sincerely grateful to their spiritual leader, Ms. Kurenai Deguchi, and Oomoto for their friendship with and consideration toward World Church of Messiah through our spiritual leader, Yoichi Okada Kyoshu-sama. Next, we have Mr. Yasuhisa Shiozaki, the former Chief Cabinet Secretary of Japan. Mr. Shiozaki, if you may, please stand. Thank you very much. Mr. Shiozaki has been putting an extraordinary amount of effort into supporting the cause of World Church of Messiah for a long time. My heart is filled with gratitude. Also, Mrs. Hideko Muroi, former member of the House of Representatives and wife of Mr. Kunihiko Muroi, Chairman of the House of Councillors Committee on Discipline, is here with us today. Mrs. Muroi, if you may, please stand. Thank you very much. Mr. and Mrs. Muroi have been passionately conveying the sublimeness of the faith of World Church of Messiah to many people, including Diet members, in order to support the divine work centered around Kyoshu-sama. Furthermore, they are doing their utmost for the present and future of World Church of Messiah. My sincere appreciation to you both. Mr. Yamada, Mr. Shiozaki and Mrs. Muroi, thank you very much for your continued support and for attending this ceremony today. Furthermore, for today’s ceremony, we have received warm and heartfelt congratulatory messages from Mr. Ichiro Matsui, leader of the Japan Innovation Party; 24 Diet members including Ms. Haruko Arimura, Deputy Chairperson of the Liberal Democratic Party House of Councillors; and Mr. Sakae Saito, the mayor of Atami. I would like to take this moment to express my sincere appreciation. Thank you very much. Now, 68 years after Meishu-sama held the Provisional Ceremony to Celebrate the Birth of the Messiah, the Grand Ceremony to Celebrate the Birth of the Messiah, long-awaited by all of humanity, has been realized here today, under the leadership of Kyoshu-sama who truly inherits and carries out the sacred work of Meishu-sama, who was entrusted with the final and decisive salvation by God, the Heavenly Father, and Jesus. In this moment, I am unable to contain the emotions that make my heart tremble. At the same time, I must never forget that this ceremony today was possible only because Kyoshu-sama has sacrificed everything in order to open up the true path of Jesus and Meishu-sama. I must wake up to the true salvation in the name of Messiah with deep humility and appreciation. This is how I feel. To all the members throughout the country, I would like to offer my deepest gratitude for your immense efforts, under the guidance of Kyoshu-sama and Masaaki-sama, including your continuous devotion to the revolution of your own faith; with that heart, your offering of special donations that far exceeded the expectation of the Church; and despite it being a weekday today, your efforts in guiding that made it possible for 10,000 people to attend at 13 venues all over the country. Thank you very much. Having been placed within the entirely new sacred work of God’s salvation, together with all of you, I firmly pledge to proclaim the true salvation, which leads to the path of eternal life shown to us by Meishu-sama in his final years, to the ancestors that are within us and to the people all over the world. Everyone, under the leadership of Kyoshu-sama, let us all take a step toward the future that marks a new chapter in history. Thank you very much.
