Absolute Graciousness
God never gives up on us, even when we may question or fear things of our faith. God also gave us the freedom to make our own decisions. Jesus knew Peter and Judas would deny and betray him. With the ability to make our own decisions, how do we forgive others, and how do we bring a gracious attitude to others like Christ showed Peter and Judas?
What if God's plan isn't a perfect blueprint, but a relationship that continues even when we fail? Father Gene reflects on a God who doesn't abandon us when we fall short, but continually invites us forward with faith, hope, and love.
Growing up means carrying both the good and the mistakes that shaped us. Father Gene reflects on truth, confession, friendship, and the difficult journey of forgiving ourselves, reminding us that our mistakes may be part of our story—but they don't have to define it.
