Did you know that the sun is 400 times larger than the moon? It may not look like it, but it’s true. Did you know that a typical cloud in the sky weighs 1.1 million pounds? It may not look like it, but it’s true. Did you know that Jesus is Lord and God to his people as he is dying on the cross? It may not look like it, but it’s true. And in the gospel for the Sunday, Jesus Christ gives us his flesh to eat, his blood to drink, his body, blood, soul, and divinity in the Eucharist. It may not look like it, but it’s true. We all have this Jesus-shaped hole in our hearts that yearns for the truth.
So when you feel that ache in your heart for something more, that’s usually Jesus knocking on your heart, saying it’s all true. Jesus Christ, the Catholic Church, the most holy Eucharist—these are all true things. And that will satisfy the Jesus-shaped hole in our hearts. This is Spirit juice, peace.

Harold could not hear anything, so doctors placed a hearing aid in his ear, which is the reaction of Harold hearing sound for the first time. And this picture is so moving, but what we hear in the gospel for this Sunday is even more moving and more incredible. Jesus Christ takes a deaf man away from the crowd…

Do Not Mock God
So, Christianity 101. Never ridicule or mock or laugh at God because God is always right. In the gospel for this Sunday, people ridicule, mock, and laugh at Jesus for what he says. And in the end, Jesus is correct. The little girl rises, and she is alive. A lot of the time, we do not understand God’s ways. But God promised He is the way, the truth, and the life. And we can rely on Him even if we do…
