Learning How To Live Together
For most of us, the lives we know now began in countries or places where our ancestors were very similar to each other, and they shared so much in common with their peers. Fast forward to present day, and we are enjoying diversity in an increasingly mobile world. How do we live together in such times? What do we bring to the table that helps all of us live 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.
