Dwelling in the law of love means not to be dominated by antagonism, but to be able to control it.

Origin-division-union action is manifested concretely in daily family life. When you leave home in the morning, do so with happiness, and when you come back home, do so with happiness. After coming back home, you should talk to your wife and children about what happened that day and discuss with them to correct things. Connect everything with love and a smile. You may discuss the Will with your wife, but if either of you wants to keep some secrets about the Will, you may do so even for eternity. You should have that kind of relationship. Worldly couples have not been that way.

Children of filial piety are those who feel a parental heart. It doesn't matter what worldly knowledge or position you have. The only thing that matters is whether you have the heart of heaven.

From now on we are under the direct dominion of God, so we must consult with God on everything. In order to do that you must realize that you are a public being. Even if you must neglect your individual joys and sorrows, you must participate in the public joys and sorrows. The safest way is to walk the Way of the Will by attracting others' sympathy. To do so, you must lead a life at a lower level than Heaven permits you.

Even though blessed children may have hardships, you should not live according to their needs, but in accordance with the destiny of God, the nation and world.

Parents should think of those things which their children don't think of.

A man is a representative of True Father, and a woman a representative of True Mother. If a husband neglects his wife, therefore, this means that he neglects True Mother. If a wife tells a lie to her husband, this means that she tells a lie to God.

When I am fulfilling my responsibility for the nation, you should cooperate and raise your family for that purpose. If the nation is ready and your family is not ready, the nation will feel the sorrow of an orphan.

Jesus called God his Father and said that those who did the Will of God were his brothers, and that he himself was a bridegroom. He meant that he was to establish a family centering on God.

Parental heart is such that parents want their children to become better than themselves. God, the parent of mankind, wants the children He created to become better than Himself.

We must have the mind to look forward to an official holiday. Only by establishing a good tradition in this way can we have our offspring establish the same tradition of life.

It is parental heart to want your children to establish families and clans that will be envied by the nation and the whole world.

Until we achieve a true heavenly family, a true world of love will not be achieved. We must deeply realize that we are not qualified to be exposed to the love of God which is hidden so deeply within Him, and we must ask Him to enable us to yearn for it.

Do not become so hasty that you put God aside.

The basic unit of society is a family. The Church should center around families and the nation also should center around families. A blessed family is like newly born Adam and Eve. You must establish all the heavenly regulations while you are alive.

Three blessed families of the same trinity should consult each other about serving Heaven, raising children and living for the Will.

When you love children, don't love them as individuals. You must raise them to express filial piety toward True Parents and loyalty toward the Ideal. For that purpose, you must build a certain foundation so that your children will, without fail, become loyal subjects, women of fidelity, and sons and daughters of filial piety. Only this way can you become ready to enter heavenly life.

How did I accomplish the restoration of the family? I established the standards of Adam's family, Noah's family, Abraham's family, and Jesus' family, and gathered together those who met the standard of adopted sons. How busy and pressed I was in doing all this within the limited period of 40 years! For this purpose, I managed all things even in the most difficult circumstances. Thus were made the Unification Church and my own family.

They are most blessed who live with the idea of heaven and earth in spite of living a poor life in this world. Whereas this world changes, heaven and earth do not change. Therefore, those who live with the idea of heaven and earth are the most blessed.

To live bothered by one's conscience is the worst evil, and it hurts not only oneself, but his family, race, nation, the world, and even God.

To establish the authority of your family you must first establish the authority of your individual self. To establish the authority of your individual self, you must heighten your consciousness of the authority of the Will.

The wife should love her husband more than their children love their father. Such is the ideal family.

The center of a restored family is the Lord of the Second Advent. The desire of each Family member is to establish a restored family.

The True Parents are advocates of family life. God has been carrying out His providence for 6,000 years until today in order to find this family of the True Parents. The Unification Church is the place where how to become connected with this family is taught.

Adam's family was originally created by God so that it might become a family which could influence the universe, not a family which would be influenced by it. Your family should not be a conventional and secular one. You should not say that even though your family is not good now, it will become good in the future. Yours should already be a good family.

The husband is in the position of subject. He should stand in the center. This is the place representing God. If the family is disharmonious, the husband should take the responsibility for it.

If the Unification Church has to leave the tradition for the rest of the world, then most important is how it leaves the standard of family unity to the cosmos.

A person can be called a child of filial piety when he desires that his parents' situation should be solved before his own.
