In the Gospel, John the Baptist warns: “The axe is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.” (Matthew 3:10) This verse carries a profound message, not only about personal morality but also about our responsibility toward our parents . In a symbolic sense, the roots represent our parents , and if the "tree" (the child) bears bad fruit, it inevitably affects the health, well-being, and even lifespan of the parents . But why does this happen, even when parents are unaware of their child's sins? How can a child’s spiritual state directly impact the physical condition of their parents?
