Inner Space
A hurdle individuals often face in today's society is the challenge of fitting in. While we are individuals, we must speak to who we are and what we believe. These principles we hold dear will show that not only is there right and wrong, but also that emotions we feel are important. When we get upset, what do we do and how do we navigate the complex events we are presented with?
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.
