Okay, guys, you have to check out this photo. This photo was taken in 1974 of a little boy named Harold. Harold could not hear anything, so doctors placed a hearing aid in his ear, which is the reaction of Harold hearing sound for the first time. And this picture is so moving, but what we hear in the gospel for this Sunday is even more moving and more incredible. Jesus Christ takes a deaf man away from the crowd, and Jesus heals this deaf man. So, for the deaf man, for the first time in his whole life, the first sound he hears is God’s voice.
At every moment of your life, Jesus wants to speak words of love, adoration, gentleness, and healing upon you. Don’t be distracted. Get close to the Lord, and especially this week, take time to go away with Jesus for a while so he can remind you who you are. This is Spirit Juice, peace.

On Imaginative Prayer
Saint Ignatius of Loyola. He is a rockstar saint. He popularized something that is called imaginative prayer. We use our imagination to pray because God created our imagination to speak to us.
