The Blessing initiates each couple on the path to become True Parents and establish true families in their own right. Since 1960 the Blessing has been offered to tens of thousands of couples. The majority come to the Blessing as young fiances who, through the Blessing, begin married life as man and wife. Others who attend the Blessing have been married for many years. These married couples attend the Blessing to re-dedicate their loving families before Heaven and Earth.
Every Blessing has large numbers of international, interracial, and inter-religious couples.
They gather together at the same time and declare in the name of True Love the unity of humankind. They proclaim their solidarity with people from all parts of the world and from all different cultural, religious, racial and national backgrounds. The Blessing Ceremony itself is simple. Couples gather together at an appropriate place, vows are recited, rings are exchanged, and prayers are offered to bless and protect the couples who have taken these vows. The vows emphasize the couples' readiness to serve the will of God.
