Being A Part Of Something Bigger
As a society, we are often focused on individualism instead of inclusiveness. We must encourage one another to accomplish our dreams and goals with the talents we have received. Together, everyone will be able to achieve the what we were made for.
What does it really mean to say, “I’m in”? In this FatherSide Chat, Father Gene explores Ash Wednesday and Lent not as rituals of guilt, but as intentional renewal. A season to recommit, refocus, and choose something better for ourselves and those around us.
Some moments stay with us forever—the instant understanding clicks, or gratitude suddenly deepens. Father Gene reflects on recognizing “the good stuff”: learning, resilience, and the quiet sacrifices of those who came before us that made our own lives possible.
