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

Strong and Unbreakable
So, when I was a kid, something traumatic happened to me. Plants invaded our house. Vines from the outside got so strong that they started to destroy our brick wall. You can see my dad peeling off that plant carpet that got so strong that it was destroying our brick. In the Gospel for this Sunday, Jesus says, “I am the vine; you are the branches.” Jesus is the great unifier. We are all…

Good Friday 2024
Okay, so this is a very solemn day, this is a very somber day. It’s Good Friday. If you have the opportunity to go to your Good Friday service at your parish, the first thing that you will see is the priest lying prostrate on the ground. It’s a sign of reverence, it’s a sign of adoration, but it’s also a sign of vulnerability. On Good Friday, Jesus becomes vulnerable…
