Okay, so let’s talk about sushi. It is a common experience that when people eat sushi, they feel more hungry afterward. There are so many factors to this. White rice is quickly digestible. There is very little protein within sushi. The salty soy sauce that we consume also makes us really, really thirsty and really, really hungry. All these factors combined do not satisfy us.
In the gospel for this Sunday, Jesus reminds us that the hunger we have in our hearts is only satisfied by him. Specifically, receiving him in the Eucharist. It is so easy for us to consume other things whenever we consume media and entertainment that never truly satisfies our heart’s longing. But Jesus reminds us that I am the one you are hungry for. Look at your life and ask yourself, are you truly hungry for Jesus? This is Spirit Juice, peace.

Glass Half-Empty or Overflowing
Okay, so maybe you are a glass-half-empty kind of person, or you are like me, and you are a glass overflowing. Everything is awesome all of the time, and nothing is ever wrong kind of person. But in the Gospel for this Sunday, St. Thomas the Apostle is a glass-half-empty kind of person. He is very skeptical. Something is intriguing happening here. Thomas, a man…
