• Happy
  True Parents
  Day!
  
  

  I pray that today can be a day of healing in every person's soul.  I pray that today, people can find reasons to create an ideal family and world.  I pray that today, people can look within themselves and make themselves true and pure.  I pray that today, each person can find a reason to give love to someone who has no reason to look for it.  I pray that today each person can give a true thought to someone and illuminate their mind.

  A Family
  of Three Generations Living in Harmony

  
  When seeking after the lost ideal of the original family, there
  should be someone in the position of perfected Adam, someone in the
  position of Jesus, and someone in the position of the Lord at his
  second coming. From that starting-point we can establish the family
  in which God will dwell. In that family, three
  generations—grandparents, parents and children—will live in
  harmony. Parents and children will serve and attend the grandparents,
  because they represent the family’s ancestors, its historical root.

  Ladies
  and gentlemen, the family sets the pattern for living together in
  harmony. It is the model for living together as one. There we have
  love and respect between parents and children, mutual fidelity and
  love between husband and wife, and trust and mutual reliance among
  siblings. This means that you need to establish a true family wherein
  the stem of true love emerges from the root of true love and bears
  the fruit of true love.

  In this
  manner, the three generations of grandparents, parents, and children
  should live together as one family and serve the eternal God. God
  desires to see such families, and it is your responsibility as tribal
  messiahs and Ambassadors for Peace to seek after and establish
  them—families of Cheon Il Guk, the Kingdom of God.

  Ladies
  and gentlemen, you should form families that God will miss and yearn
  to return to after He has been away. He should feel comfortable to
  visit your home like any parent coming to visit his or her children.
  This is what it means to live in service to God.

  Within
  such a family, God is the vertical Subject of your conscience, and
  your conscience is the vertical subject of your body. Thus, unity
  with God brings your mind and body into unity. Family members who
  have established that vertical axis can perfect the four realms of
  love and heart: parental love, conjugal love, children’s love, and
  siblings’ love. That family links all directions: up and down,
  front and rear, right and left. They revolve around each other in
  everlasting spherical motion. This is God’s eternal, model, ideal
  family, which expands to ideal model nations and His peace kingdom.
  If only the entire world were filled with such true families! It
  would be an orderly world where people governed themselves by the
  heavenly way and heavenly laws, with no need for lawyers, prosecutors
  or even judges.

  Who would
  be most fully aware of your good and bad deeds? It would be your
  grandparents, your parents, your spouse and your children. Is there
  anything that cannot be resolved within the family? When parents and
  children, husband and wife, and elder siblings and younger siblings
  set an example of living for the sake of one another, how could they
  do anything unforgivable? What chance would they have to commit
  crimes? A world governed by the heavenly way and the heavenly laws is
  a natural world, an unobstructed world of truth and pure reason. It
  is a world at the “high noon” of absolute values, without any
  dark shadows.

  Absoluteness, Peace and the Ideal Is the Family
  and Global
  Kingdom Upholding Absolute Sexual Morality”
