I invite you to enter into a mystical stateand prayerfully ask God, "What is thecentre of the universe?" I am sure that theanswer you hear will be "the parent-childrelationship." Nothing is more importantor more precious than the relationship

between parent and child. This is because it defines thefundamental relationship between the Creator God andhuman beings. Then, what defines the parent-childrelationship? Three things define this relationship: love,life and lineage. (Father Moon, Peace Messages)
