The infinite transcendence of God is a challenge to our faith and love.  Jesus uses shocking language to teach us just how radically different our love for God should be compared with all of our other loves.  Developing a more adequate love for God first requires believing in his radical transcendence and his primacy.  It also requires the humility to admit that we do not yet love him as he deserves.  From  this faith and humility, we can move to improve the quality of our love for God: with prayer, with Charity, and with soul-freeing self-denial.
