The Art Of Conversation
In today's modern times, as a society we need to learn how we to reclaim the art of conversation. One way we can reclaim it is by growing in discipline in regards to listening to others. This allows others to be affirmed, and in return, they will know they are heard and welcomed in our communities and families.
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.
