Jesus said: “Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.” I must admit that I find this very difficult to understand. Is this exactly what Jesus means? But then I remember the first commandment, which is to love God first and then our neighbor. Why? It is because if we put love for God first if we learn how to love God with all our heart, understanding, and mind, then – and only then - we will be able to love another person. Even that person who wishes us evil. If we love God first, then He will fill our hearts with His perfect love which we then will be able to share with others.
