Special Sunday Zoom Service Was Held: Day 23


            Today is the end of May and soon a half of the year will be over. This year coronavirus infection became a big problem, and we had to stay home from mid-March. The State of New York became the epicenter of coronavirus. The number of infected patients and the death toll became the largest state in the U.S. People were unable to go to work, and the unemployment number surged. Citizens are worried about their health and life. They have accumulated frustration, and unfortunate events have happened one after another.

            Recently, a policeman murdered an African-American man in Minneapolis. Every person’s life matters. It should not be wasted. I pray for the peaceful repose of his soul. This heartbreak incident triggered many people’s frustrations. Protesters have demonstrated violently for five consecutive nights. The police actions and destruction of violent protesters damaged so many people’s hearts. We must know that violence is not the answer but the cause of negative consequences.
            Human beings are children of God. In the world of God there are no misfortune, disasters, murders, or robberies. But in the phenomenal world we see many unfortunate events repeatedly. Why? It is because human beings do not see God's perfect world [the True-Image World] properly. We see the perfect world through the frosted glass and tinted glasses. We must change this world through proper words, thoughts, and actions.
            Today Rev. Bruce Mallery, Seicho-No-Ie U.S. National Ordained Minister delivered two lectures: 1) Reshape Your Future by Rebooting Your Faith, and 2) Positive Thinking Empowers Your Life.
            Originally, we planned to have our Public Lecture today, but because of the Coronavirus pandemic and we were unable to bring 10 people or more at the center, we decided to invite Rev. Mallery through the internet and had this zoom Sunday Service. Thank you very much, Rev. Mallery for your wonderful lectures.
