Imagine if Luke Skywalker never left Tatooine, or imagine if Frodo never left The Shire, or imagine if Eleven never left Mike Wheeler’s basement and just stayed there. All of these heroes were meant for something. They had a purpose, and they lived it out. And we are called to do the same thing.
In the gospel for this Sunday, Jesus pities the people because they are like sheep without a shepherd, and they have forgotten their purpose. When we live on purpose and let Jesus lead us in our purpose, that fulfills us. That is what fulfills the deepest desires of our hearts. And so you have a purpose. You are called to be a saint and to allow Jesus to lead you there. No matter how boring your life may be right now, no matter how frustrating your life may be right now, you have a purpose because you are called to be a saint. This is Spirit Juice. Peace.

He is not a fun person to be around. The thing is, we can do that as well. We are so attracted to negativity. We’re drawn to crazy comments on social media…

A Problem with YOLO
Here’s the problem with YOLO. The more and more our culture embraces YOLO, the more and more marriage becomes radical. Marriage is saying that I no longer live for myself; I live for another. That selfless love bears fruit. But with YOLO, you are living for yourself. You can do what you want whenever you want, but it’s sterile. The second reading today from…

The King of the Universe
Man, I’m pumped. Today is the Solemnity of Jesus Christ, King of the Universe. Sounds like something from Dr. Strange. And then in the Gospel today, the good thief says, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” That we have a kingdom, that we have a king. We don’t have a king that wears a golden…
