Merry Christmas, everyone. Merry Christmas, y’all. Merry Christmas, mom. Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown. This day is a day of intimacy that the Incarnation is all about intimacy. It’s God literally becoming flesh, becoming one of us, so that we can love Him, we can know Him, and we can live with Him forever. There is no greater love story than the Incarnation. There is no greater love story than the Pascal Mystery. This is the intimacy that God desires with you. And not only that, when you go to mass today, God becomes flesh again so that you can receive Him, you can receive His heart. Are you willing to respond in intimacy with Him? Are you willing to open up your heart because He has opened up His heart for you? He’s opened up His side for you, and so will you open up your heart for Him? Blessed Christmas to all of you.
God bless you, you are in my prayers. This is Spirit Juice. Peace.

None of us like to experience suffering. And we love to avoid. We love to deny. We love to distract ourselves because shame does not feel good. Here is the gospel, though, where Saint Peter does the same thing. He tells Jesus…

Cure For Perfectionism
Let’s talk about Leslie Knope. If you’ve ever seen “Parks and Rec,” Leslie Knope is the main character, and she is the ultimate perfectionist. She gets after it like crazy. Leslie has built up the whole town of Pawnee, Indiana by herself. Because she is a perfectionist, Leslie has one huge flaw. Whenever she fails, whenever she…

Don’t Take Away His Family
Today is the Feast Day of the Holy Family. And what better thing to talk about than “Fast and the Furious.” Dominic Toretto is amazing at driving fast. But he is more impressive with protecting his family. My favorite quote from the ninth movie is, “The worst thing you can do to a Toretto is take away his family.” Translate that to our faith, and oh my gosh, the worst thing that you can do to God the Father…
