Okay, what are the top five things Americans attribute to the word cozy? Number one, soft sofas. Number two, hot beverages. Number three, books. Number four, blankets. Number five, fireplaces. For us as Catholics, what is the thing that brings us coziness? It’s not a fireplace; it’s the sanctuary lamp because whenever we walk into a church and see it lit, we know that our friend Jesus is present. And there is nothing cozier, nothing safer than being with Jesus. So we look at that sanctuary lamp and know, “My friend Jesus is with me.” So, if you are craving some spiritual coziness in your life or some safety, go to your local Catholic church. Look upon the sanctuary lamp and know that your friend Jesus is there. He is truly present in the most holy eucharist. So get some Catholic coziness in your life! This is Spirit Juice, peace.
