We Are Created Human
There’s a quote that says, “Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future.” We are created human — imperfect and striving to do things to the best of our abilities. But being human, we have things within us that just don’t work. Father Gene shares that failure is a part life, and we must understand that there is no one perfect solution to our individual trials. We must learn to accept who we are as God's children so that we can achieve our goals in life.
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.
