III. The Continuation:

a. We are descendants innumerable: the counting of stars has frustrated mankind for all times

b. We are descendants diverse: stars are varied, so are we. Some are big, small, near, far…

b. Are you a star by living in the fullness of joy from the promises?

c. Are you a star that is lighting the way for others to find their way?

d. Are you a star that shows the times: the last days, the end days?
