Father And Joe

Welcome to another insightful episode of Father and Joe! I'm Joe Rockey, joined by Father Boniface Hicks, as we delve into the profound meaning of the 4th Commandment: "Honor your mother and father." In this special episode, we address a listener's question about what it means to honor your parents, especially when their guidance might seem flawed as you grow older.Father Boniface explains the virtue of piety, a subset of justice that acknowledges our inability to repay our parents for giving us life, just as we cannot repay God. "Our parents have always given us something that we can never repay them for," Father Boniface shares, emphasizing that this honor holds true even in difficult circumstances. He acknowledges the complexities of parental relationships, especially for those who have experienced abandonment or abuse, and offers a compassionate perspective on how to navigate these challenging situations while still adhering to the biblical commandment.Father Boniface highlig
