Okay, so let’s talk about sushi. It is a common experience that when people eat sushi, they feel more hungry afterward. There are so many factors to this. White rice is quickly digestible. There is very little protein within sushi. The salty soy sauce that we consume also makes us really, really thirsty and really, really hungry. All these factors combined do not satisfy us.
In the gospel for this Sunday, Jesus reminds us that the hunger we have in our hearts is only satisfied by him. Specifically, receiving him in the Eucharist. It is so easy for us to consume other things whenever we consume media and entertainment that never truly satisfies our heart’s longing. But Jesus reminds us that I am the one you are hungry for. Look at your life and ask yourself, are you truly hungry for Jesus? This is Spirit Juice, peace.

Dr. John Watson roots him and grounds him, keeping him rooted in reality. And not only that, but Watson speaks truths to Sherlock, revealing to him where he is wrong and where he needs to grow. In the gospel, this is precisely…
