Ups And Downs Of Life
We all understand that the challenges in life won't go away by simply wishing them away. Rather, we must learn to live with the difficult situations and remember that nothing in this life is forever. In this week's episode, Father Gene tells us that the pain and the challenges that happen in our lives can also give our lives meaning.
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.
