Life's Quiet Reminders
In this FatherSide Chat, Father Gene reflects on life’s quiet reminders to slow down and pay attention. From the aches that humble us to the stillness that heals us, he invites us to see life—and even death—as part of God’s gentle rhythm.
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.
