6. Blessed Families are the people restored from the satanic world. They are not the true children to whom True Parents gave birth. They are on the position of adopted children. In order for them to become true children, they have to be engrafted onto the direct children of True Parents—True Children. They have to attend on and be united with True Children. – From True Father’s Speech (Dec. 26, 1971) – Blessed Families are families that have been engrafted onto my family. If my family is the subject, then all the engrafted Blessed Families become the object…. Blessed Families are engrafted onto Parents’ Family. Therefore, absolutely one. – From True Father’s Speech (Sep. 8, 1998) –

9. Blessed Children’s Blessingin the Age of Parental Responsibility When True Father conducted the first Matching of the 2nd Generation in April of 1986, he said: “Originally, the Blessing should be given by the parents; however because your parents do not have the adequate foundation, True Father is taking responsibility” On January 4th of 2001, True Parents proclaimed “The Age of Second generation matching by parents.”

10. Blessed Children’s Blessingin the Age of Parental Responsibility • Until now on, True Father has been very serious when it came to matching Second Generation children. • True Father said “I have given Blessings to people, looking beyond just the couples, but also thinking about their 4th and 5th generation descendents. Looking at their eternal lives. In order for the parents to be held responsible for their children’s Blessing, they must inherit my absolute standards (February 2000)

11. Blessed Children’s Blessingin the Age of Parental Responsibility • How is the Parents’ matching done practically speaking? Naturally, the standard of the tradition is to do as True Parents have done. True Father says, “I became one with God and matched you.” Becoming One with God When Matching -- Same Heart and Perspective as God and True Parents

20. Blessed Children’s Blessingin the Age of Parental Responsibility • The current challenge for us today about Blessed Children’s blessing is how to establish a tradition that God and True Parents want True Father said, “From now on, if you have a child and you try to match him with a good person, you become a bad person. ….. You must match him with a person Heaven thinks is good for him”

21. The Meaning of Blessed Children’s Matching True Parents TF GOD God selects the match. Trust and Commitment between Parents and Children Parents find the match who were already decided by God. Same Heart and Perspective as God and True Parents PARENTS A PARENTS B Matching Child Matching Child
