So, the bottom line is that you are never a done muffin. You are always half-baked. In the gospel for this Sunday, Jesus tells the scribe, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” He doesn’t say to the scribe, “You made it. You did it. Success.” He says, yeah, you’ve said all the right things, but still, you have some work to do. Still, I want to go deeper with you. This is the beautiful reality that Jesus always wants to go deeper with us. His love is never exhausted, and so in this life, before heaven, you are never a done muffin. You are always half-baked with Jesus. He always wants to go deeper. He always wants to heal more. He always wants to love more. So if you’re finding yourself being like, I’m great, I’m awesome. I’m as Catholic as the pope.
It’s time to go deeper with Jesus. Bottom line: You are not a done muffin. You are always half-baked. Jesus always wants to go deeper with you. That is our Lord. That is our God. This is Spirit juice, peace.

Blessed Epiphany
So a new “Hunger Games” movie, “Ballad of Songbird and Snakes,” just came out, and this is not a spoiler. However, the two main characters, Coriolanus Snow and Lucy Gray, have an excellent relationship. Lucy Gray, everything about her, inspires Coriolanus Snow to be good and to be more virtuous. She is the light. She is the hope for Coriolanus Snow. Today, we celebrate the blessed Epiphany of the Lord…

Desire and Act to Heal
In the gospel for the Sunday, Jesus shares with us, “If a brother sins against you, go to that brother and share his fault with him alone.” This message is so powerful for us, and we can take this teaching and completely ignore it. What do we do when someone sins against us when someone hurts us? We tell every single person in the universe except for…

The Pearl of Great Price
Please don’t judge me, but I have been into AI lately, especially image-based AI. Image-based AI, you can type in a prompt, and then the artificial intelligence will create an image.
