By Francis Van Uden To watch this talk, go HERE. It’s more than just a commandment. God does ask us to obey our father and our mother, but obedience goes deeper than that. Obeying can sometimes be hard, it is for me. Your parents may tell you to do something, and even if you don’t think it’s fair, God still wants us to obey. The truth is, your parents are usually right. They know what is best for us, and see a bigger picture than we do. But God doesn’t want us to obey just because our parents are right, he wants us to obey our parents because they love us, and because He loves us, and asked us to. It is a great way to show love to your parents and to God when you obey your parents, especially in the times it may seem hard to. Putting your parents wishes before your own is a great selfless act, and can be learned through obedience. But did you know that the commandment “Honour thy father and mother” isn’t just talking about your mom and dad? And when the Catholic Church encourages obedience it also means obeying God, the Church and others?
