Room At The Table
veryone is welcomed at Christ's table. This holds true for us with our relationships. Do we welcome our friends as well as the ones who have betrayed us? We must remember that Jesus had a seat for Judas at the Last Supper even after knowing what Judas was going to do later that night. As Christians, our job is to bring others to Christ rather than scaring them away from the beauty of the Church. How can you feed the one who betrayed you today?
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.
