Paradigm of the Mass
Father Gene believes that the Mass can often bring healing to those in need. Though problems won't be solved rapidly, they can be healed over time. What softens our hearts? What breaks the brittle edges of our opinions? Eating and drinking with others provides a good atmosphere to solve problems.
Faith is often passed on quietly, through habits, conversations, and the way we live each day. Father Gene reflects on how values are caught—not forced—and how kindness, consistency, and presence shape the hearts of children more than rules ever could.
In a world pulled between urgency and fear of change, Father Gene reflects on the tension we live with every day. This conversation invites us to slow down, listen well, and rediscover the quiet, courageous work of building bridges instead of choosing sides.
