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.

Set Them On Fire
This Sunday’s gospel is incredible. It is Jesus Christ who is absolutely getting after it, saying to us that He has come to set the world on fire and how He wishes it was already blazing. I think a lot of the times we are not set on fire, or we forget that we have been given His love and given His Holy Spirit, that we walk around like zombies…

Captain America vs. Iron Man
Who would win in a fight, Captain America or Iron Man? I have my own opinion, but I’ll keep it to myself. Tony Stark and Captain America do get into a fight. Tony Stark feels betrayed by Captain America. Even though Captain America doesn’t do anything against Tony Stark, Tony Stark still feels betrayed, and it’s justified. The gospel for this Sunday. Jesus says, “Amen, I say to you, what you did not…
