Eternal Life
Jesus asked, “Do you believe in me? Do you believe in what I say?” Tragedies and upsetting occurrences are part of what makes us human. But what do we do when things go wrong? When things don’t go our way, and when things are challenging, how do we believe? How do we continue to have faith? Placing our trust in God reminds us that there is a tomorrow. The difficult times are not the end. The end is what Jesus promised everyone — life everlasting.
Loneliness touches everyone at times, but it doesn’t have to have the final word. Father Gene reflects on how purposeful gathering—small, intentional moments of connection—can grow into real community, offering space to listen, share, laugh, and walk through life together.
Some lessons arrive softly, reminding us that caring for others begins with caring for ourselves. Father Gene shares why creating sacred space for “me” isn’t selfish—it’s essential—and how learning to say “I can’t” can become an act of love.
