Hate Your Mother and Father

Bishop Barron’s Sunday Sermons - Catholic Preaching and Homilies - A podcast by Bishop Robert Barron

When Jesus tells us to hate mother, father, brothers, sisters, friends, he is not demonstrating a disturbing misanthropy. Rather, he is telling us not to treat those around us as our possessions. The spiritual life consists, not in controlling others for the sake of the ego, but in giving others the space to be.
