Re : Special directions from True Parents and additional matters regarding FFWPUI 2005-2

May the love and blessings of Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind be with all leaders and mission countries as we usher in a new year of hope in the 5th year of Cheon Il Guk.

These are additional directions regarding the Special Blessing for Members of the Second Generation, which was announced in "FFWPUI 2005-2." Leaders of each nation are asked to take full responsibility to prepare members for the special second generation blessing with the same heart and standard as True Parents, and to recommend qualified members of the second generation after consulting with them.

1. True Parents’ Special Directions.

1. Official Title: Special Blessing in the Fifth Year of Cheon Il Guk
2. Only those members of the second generation who have kept physical purity, i.e., have never had a relationship with a member of the opposite sex, have never kissed or engaged in petting, are eligible to participate in this Special Blessing from True Parents. *If a member of the second generation has kept his or her purity but has engaged in kissing or petting, they are not eligible to participate in a Special Blessing from True Parents for four years.
3. A person who was engaged by True Parents on December 26, 2004, and whose partner broke the engagement (that is, they were not the party at fault), is eligible to take part in this Blessing. (The church leader and parents are asked to take care of them continuously with love and guidance to prepare his or her internal standard for the Blessing through indemnity conditions, repentance and public devotion.)
4. If the person is under 29 (on February 8, 2005) and has satisfied the six conditions (please refer to the official memo FFWPUI 2005-2, dated on January 6, 2005), he or she may take part in this Blessing.
5. Public course: Second-generation members who participated in the Special Blessing in the fourth year of Cheon Il Guk and all second generation members who will be blessed should go through a public course. (More specific directions will be announced.)
6. Starting a family: It is not necessary for the couples to start their family immediately while still young. It is all right to start a family after finishing their public courses and finishing their studies.

1. Age of Participants:

Before change: 17 (born on or before February 8, 1988) – 23 (born on or after February 7, 1982)

After change: 17-29 (born on or between February 9, 1976 and February 8, 1988)

2. Documents to Submit:

4. Remarks

Please refer to FFWPUI 2005-2 regarding workshop requirements, document submission date, engagement and Blessing matters, and who to contact with inquiries.
