Happy New Year!<\/p>\n
I would like to express my sincere appreciation to all of you for your devoted efforts in the work of single-hearted salvation last year in the lead-up to the anniversary of Oyasama.<\/p>\n
We have now entered the third year of the \u201cthree years, one thousand days\u201d period for the anniversary-related activities.<\/p>\n
God the Parent promotes our spiritual growth through various events that are shown to us in our situations and circumstances. Let us all, as children of the path, be mindful of this parental love and keep our hearts attuned to Oyasama\u2019s intention as we work together in unity of mind during the remaining period leading up to the anniversary, giving our utmost in a way that leaves no regrets. Moreover, on the day of the anniversary, I hope that each of us can show Oyasama a new level of our spiritual growth and bring joy to Her.<\/p>\n
I look forward to working with you again this year.<\/p>\n
