Jesus Listened
as humans, we are all broken, and we are all sinners. Often times this may be difficult for us to fully understand. However, when we do reach this understanding, we will know that our world is filled with both good and evil. If we can establish a vision for a better world, this can promote an openness to listening to those around us.
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.
