‘Tis the season for gingerbread lattes, candy canes, and watching “Die Hard.” It’s a Christmas movie. Today, we celebrate the fourth Sunday of Advent, which is crazy because tomorrow is Christmas. Very rarely in the church calendar, this happens, where Christmas falls right after the fourth Sunday of Advent, and I love it when this happens because it always makes me realize that whenever I’m not acting like a friend of Jesus, he passes me by. I don’t recognize how he is working in my life. We have hours until we celebrate the incarnation and the coming of Christ. Are we ready? Have we been a friend of Jesus? In these last hours of Advent, live as if you are a friend of Jesus because you’ll recognize how he reveals himself to you daily, and you’ll never be the same. This is Spirit Juice. Peace.

You Belong With Him
The Gospel for this Sunday is so awesome. The disciples are asking, Jesus, “Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?” And I think we can live that way so often that we are not looking for Jesus, but we are looking for something else or someone else. And I think the solution to this problem is Taylor Swift…

Fr. Flanagan
Okay, guys, we are going to the movies. Spirit Juice Studios has created this original content, a film about Father Flanagan, an absolute rockstar priest and up for canonization. Father Flanagan dedicated his life to protecting children and providing for them, especially those who were orphans and disadvantaged from every race and religion, and he gave of himself totally for them. This is a fantastic…

Forced Love Is Not Love
So wouldn’t it be easier if Juliet forced Romeo to love him? Then, none of that heartbreak would’ve happened. So what if Jim from “The Office” forced Pam to love him in the first season? Then, none of that drama or heartbreak would’ve happened. The answer is no. Because forced love is not love. In the Gospel for this Sunday, Jesus is tempted by Satan to throw himself down, to reveal his glory, to reveal his divinity to the…
