Beyond Any Riches
hen a new year approaches, often times people reflect on the previous year and set goals for the new year. In this week episode, Father Gene discusses that we all need friends that we can lean on during easy and hard times of our life. If our partner is that friend, this is something that is blessed beyond any riches. As we start 2023, name one friend who you can lean on to in order to make a life a bit more richer.
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.
