I recently took my college kids on a pilgrimage to Orvieto, Italy. Orvieto is the home to a Eucharistic Miracle, and I could talk about the Eucharistic Miracle all day. What is so crazy is that St. Thomas Aquinas lived during the time of this Eucharistic Miracle. St. Thomas Aquinas fell so deeply in love with Jesus and the Eucharist that he wrote “The Tantum Ergo.” “The Tantum Ergo” is sung every day around the world, all because a man fell deeply in love with the Lord and did something that lasted. So, my invitation for all of us this Sunday, as we read about the Bread of Life Discourse, is to ask what I am willing to do for Jesus that will last. So go and get after it and do something that will last for the Lord. This is Spirit Juice. Peace.

Bible study mode activate. The first reading for this Sunday from Isaiah is fire.

When the king is away, Eliakim, you are in charge.” We see this again in the Gospel. Jesus says…
