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

Loved Like The Samaritan Woman
Every year, this Gospel comes up during Lent, and every single year, it wrecks me. Yes, priests can get emotional, too, okay? In the Gospel of the Samaritan woman, she finds her identity in all the husbands who use her. And here is Jesus who is love Himself. And what’s so incredible is that He loves her well, and He loves her how she is…

Stop Exposing Others to Shame
It is the fourth Sunday of Advent and the Gospel today is very beautiful. It talks about St. Joseph, since he was a righteous man, does not want to expose Mary to shame and I think that is an incredible witness for us because we can so easily expose others to shame. It is the holiday season. We are with family all the time. There’s a lot of…
