Walk With Changes
When faced with changes, do you roll with punches, or are you quick to throw in the towel? Father Gene reminds us that in life, we don’t know the answers ahead of time. That is, life doesn’t always go according to plan. Things happen and we must adapt, using our beliefs, our gut reactions, and more to navigate unplanned changes to life. How do we adapt to change? Father Gene suggests that we try walking with change instead of resisting change. Much like the phrase, “Walk before you run,” to walk with change is to allow yourself to be open to change a little bit at a time.
In life’s deepest tragedies, words often fall short. Father Gene reflects on the quiet but powerful gift of simply being present—showing up, standing alongside others, and offering healing through presence when no explanation or comfort seems enough.
Father Gene reflects on how true religion begins at our everyday level—sharing meals, praying together, and asking simple yet profound questions like “Who’s hungry?” Discover how faith grows stronger when rooted in real conversations and community life.
