When Love Calls for Limits
Faith, Forgiveness, and Healthy Boundaries
Many Christians struggle to reconcile forgiveness with self-protection. We want to love as Christ loves, but what does that look like in painful or complicated relationships?
When Love Calls for Limits offers a faithful and freeing path forward. Rooted in the wisdom of the Catechism of the Catholic Church and the example of Jesus Christ in Scripture, this talk gently clarifies the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation, and offers hope for healing, even when relationships remain difficult.
Love does not mean the absence of limits.
Sometimes love calls for them.
