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 is take away his family. We are taken away from our relationship with the Father through our sins. But the Father is willing to go to great lengths to bring us back, to send his only son so that we can be brought back into his family.
You are always a son and a daughter of the Father. This is the incredible news. For us to get back to him, what are you willing to do to get close to the Father? This is Spirit Juice: peace.

He gets the Infinity Stones. He wins the war…

Jesus is the Bridegroom
I just got back from our women’s weekend here at the Newman Center, where college-aged women go off for a weekend and dive into what it means to identify as a sister, a mother, a daughter, and a bride, and it was so awesome sauce. All of these college-aged women were convicted of the fact that even though they were not married, they had a bridegroom, Jesus. This is why I love the…
