InterSpace
Challenges we face in the 21st century include inner space and interspace. How do we answer the question, "Who am I?" It used to be very easy to answer that question, but today it's a little more difficult. COVID has separated us, and it has provided yet another challenge for interspace. When we couple that challenge with today's environment that seems to foster conflict and disagreement, the distance grows. How can we come back together?
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.
