The Answer Is Be Kind
How do you serve your neighbor daily? Who are the "least" living around you? Father Gene shares that being kind to your neighbor can be difficult to always do. Christ tells us that what we do to the least of our brothers, we do to him. In such a broken world, we don't know what crosses our neighbors are carrying. Let us step in and show them an act of kindness, even if it is something simple such as giving our neighbor a smile.
What does a truly successful life look like? Father Gene challenges the usual definitions of status and achievement, offering a deeper, more human measure rooted in relationships, presence, and impact—being someone others genuinely want to invite back into their lives.
In this FatherSide Chat, Father Gene reflects on doubt, decision-making, and faith. He suggests that questioning isn’t weakness but part of living thoughtfully. Even disbelief requires faith, reminding us that honest reflection and uncertainty often guide our deepest convictions.
