Today’s gospel, Fr Charlie believes, is all about setting boundaries. If someone hurts you, speak to him or her about it respectfully. Hopefully, the disagreement can be resolved. But, if it cannot, “detach with love” rather than bitterness.
The LORD then said to [Moses], “This is the land which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob that I would give to their descendants. I have let you feast your eyes upon it, but you shall not cross over.”
DT 34:1-12
“If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have won over your brother.”
MT 18:15-20
