2. DEDICATION NEEDED

Cornerstones must be placed correctly, and centerpoints well measured. Without correct cornerstones, no sound structure will be possible. Universal victory and historical victory may depend on cornerstones. Think, you are at this very moment laying the cornerstones. Awesome, isn't it? So, you must be dedicated in all things over and over. Because we are not perfect, we must dedicate ourselves hundreds of times, thousands of times, until we attain results that are worthy of perfection. Think about the consequences from mislaid cornerstones one hundred years, three hundred years, one thousand years later. Other mislaid parts can be fixed only if the cornerstones are laid properly.

Everybody wants an excellent child. But how shall we raise and educate an excellent human being? Some might say, send them through kindergarten and college. But education is a lifetime's dedication.

We need people who can establish new ways. That's why God particularly favors with love those who struggle against evil. We need parents who would dedicate themselves to their children from infancy. We need great servants dedicated to children. The Unification Church has been guiding you to become those very servants. While we look to the higher grounds, we must also be loved by those that are lowly. That is why all Blessed families must struggle. When we take pity on our own children, we should also remember to take pity on all other children. In this way, no one shall fail.

Parents must be dedicated to posterity. They must be determined to leave blessings to their children. Such families will not fail.

The main problem is how the Blessed couples, their children, and their children's children, all three generations, may live together with the Teacher. Do you understand what I am saying? Did you know that if you are a servant dedicated to three generations you will be the most meritorious in the eyes of Heaven? In view of this, you must be dedicated to educating your children so that they learn these ideals.

You must raise them straight, yes, straight. If you don't have enough to eat, pray to God. If you get some bread as a result, that shows God's pity and power. Yes, that shows. You must teach your children that Heaven is taking pity on you when strangers offer help that which is least expected.
