The 5th commandment says to “honor” your parents. This means to “give them their due.” What are they due? Respect & love? Yes. But also, financial support. Jesus warned the Pharisees about not caring for their parents. Children are to care for their elderly parents.
“You let them disregard their needy parents. And so you cancel the word of God” (Mark 7:12-13)
