So, one of my buddies is a perpetual pilgrim for the Eucharistic revival, meaning he will walk across the country, over 2000 miles, with the Eucharist, with Jesus. That’s like 645 hours. That’s the equivalent of watching all of the seasons of “The Office” nonstop, eight times in a row. That’s the equivalent of reading the Bible cover to cover nonstop 13 times in a row. So why is he doing this? He is willing to witness the truth of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist. Today, we celebrate Corpus Christi, the solemnity of the most holy body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. My invitation on Corpus Christi, what are you willing to witness to when it comes to the Eucharist? And what maybe are you willing not to witness regarding the Eucharist? It’s a spicy question, but it needs to be asked and answered in our hearts. This is Spirit Juice. Peace.

We Have A Savior
You may have noticed before on a street corner, on a college campus, or at a sports game, someone holding up a big sign that says, “John 3:16.” Well, that’s our gospel for this Sunday. We all know this gospel. “For God’s so loved the world that he gave his only son.” This is the ultimate mic drop that the entirety of the gospels is rolled up into this one passage…

Fear of Being Less of Ourselves
One of my favorite scenes from The Lord of the Rings is when Gandalf heals King Theoden from Saruman’s possession. This is such an awesome scene of healing. At one point, the possessed King Theoden says to Gandalf, “If I go, Theoden dies.” And that’s precisely what we see in the gospel today. The demon spirit tells Jesus, “What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us?” We say that to…

The Supreme Gift
I don’t know if you’re like me, but every time I see a baby, I only want to hold and squeeze it because it’s so cute. Maybe that makes me weird. What this is called is the positive feedback loop. When we hold or care for an infant child, it releases oxytocin. It’s written in our biology that babies are cute. The gospel for this Sunday is intense, but it is all about the preciousness of children, and the Catholic…
