Catena Aurea · Matthäusevangelium 10
Mt 10, Verses 37–39English original
He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.
He is unworthy of the divine communion who prefers the carnal affection of kindred to the spiritual love of God.
