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.
Faith is often passed on quietly, through habits, conversations, and the way we live each day. Father Gene reflects on how values are caught—not forced—and how kindness, consistency, and presence shape the hearts of children more than rules ever could.
