Owning My Life
In this FatherSide Chat, Father Gene reflects on the power of personal ownership—how growth often starts when we stop blaming others and start adjusting ourselves. By opening to new ideas, we rediscover the path forward and the wisdom of change.
Loneliness touches everyone at times, but it doesn’t have to have the final word. Father Gene reflects on how purposeful gathering—small, intentional moments of connection—can grow into real community, offering space to listen, share, laugh, and walk through life together.
Some lessons arrive softly, reminding us that caring for others begins with caring for ourselves. Father Gene shares why creating sacred space for “me” isn’t selfish—it’s essential—and how learning to say “I can’t” can become an act of love.
