Have you ever been at Mass and your eyes glaze over during the Creed? Well, don’t do that anymore. Especially the last part. I believe in the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, resurrection of the body. That is what the gospel is about. Today, Jesus is saying that our bodies will rise just as Jesus’s body rose from the dead. That’s what we will have at the end of time.
You are made in the image and likeness of God. That’s one of the reasons why as Catholics we don’t go around and spread our loved ones ashes all over the place. We keep our bodies intact because they are good and because we will have them at the end of time. You’re made in the image and this of God, your body matters. Love your body. Just as Nacho Libre loves his own body. Maybe a little too much. God is so good and he’s given you such a great gift. This is Spirit Juice. Peace

Dump The Garbage
Do you know who the unsung heroes of our society are? Garbage men. They do everything that we do not want to do. Garbage men and women, we salute you. In the gospel for this Sunday, Jesus speaks about Gehenna. Gehenna also means hell. But Jesus uses the word Gehenna because Gehenna was the area of Jerusalem that was the garbage dump, and Jews were not allowed to go there. Jesus is…

Be Brutally Honest with Jesus
Let’s talk about Emmett from the Lego movie. He thinks that everything is awesome. Yet, he is actually living a lie and he can’t truly be happy until he is honest with himself and honest about his situation. Right, come on, let’s be honest.

Strive To Be A Saint
Saint Therese of Lisieux. She lived till the age of 24. She lived most of her life in a convent in the suburbs of France. She is considered one of the most ambitious saints the church has ever seen because Saint Therese desired to be a saint from the depths of her heart. And we are called to have that holy ambition as well. In the gospel…
