IV. The Family and the Kingdom
2232
Family ties are important but not absolute. Just as the child grows to maturity
and human and spiritual autonomy, so his unique vocation which comes from God
asserts itself more clearly and forcefully. Parents should respect this call
and encourage their children to follow it. They must be convinced that the
first vocation of the Christian is to follow Jesus: “He who loves father
or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter
more than me is not worthy of me.”39
