  • Confucius said: "When your father is alive, observe his will. When your father is dead observe his former actions. If, for three years, you do not change from the ways of your father, you can be called a 'real son (hsiao).' "

    Confucius said: "When you serve your mother and father it is okay to try to correct them once in a while. But if you see that they are not going to listen to you, keep your respect for them and don't distance yourself from them. Work without complaining."

    To what extent does Our Faith teach that we must submit to our parents?
    "In this difficult time, to be victorious, we must be steadfast using all of our strength and capabilities like brave soldiers fully armed in the battlefield ... Whatever happens, behave in such a way that God will be glorified."

    -Saint Andrew Kim

  • So long as we are subject to them, we must submit to them in all things, as Incarnate Wisdom Himself did - sinful commands being the sole exception.

    "Honor thy father and thy mother."
    "Fear God, and keep His commandments: for this is all man."
