For some it may mean that «there is an orphaned state required for the sake
of the kingdom
of heaven, in which a
man who like all others is the child
of his parents must
symbolize with his being and action the present but hidden
creation which is not a mere prolongation
of the old, but the new
creation in relation to which the old has already passed away...» This is, therefore, the first word that must be spoken:
of discontinuity between the kingdom
of God and any earthly order, even one as significant as the family.
