Lent as a “Do Over”: Faith, Service and Spiritual Thirst. Catholic Conversations

What does it actually mean to live your Catholic faith today?


In this special Lenten episode of Catholic Conversations, Fr. Peter welcomes longtime parishioner and Knights of Columbus Grand Knight Gene Fennell for an honest and inspiring discussion about faith, forgiveness, and becoming better disciples.

Gene shares:

-How he first took ownership of his faith

-The power of reconciliation in his relationship with his father

-The witness of Det. Steven McDonald and radical forgiveness

-Why Scripture is a “playbook” for life

-Practical tools for prayer (Hallow App, Divine Office, daily reflections)

As we begin our parish Lenten series, I Thirst: 40 Days with Mother Teresa, the conversation turns to Jesus’ words from the Cross — “I Thirst” — and what it means to stop filling our lives with substitutes and allow Christ to satisfy our deepest hunger.

Lent isn’t meant to be gloomy. It’s a grace-filled “do over.”

If you’re looking for encouragement, practical faith wisdom, and a reminder that holiness begins with simply deciding to “be better,” this episode is for you.

It is about the people they serve, the families affected, and the future being shaped by every decision they make. “If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.”—Mark 3:25 God, we ask You to tear down walls of pride and division in Washington. Replace them with wisdom, humility, and a spirit of cooperation. Remind our leaders that they are public servants, not rulers, and they are accountable first...
