Imagine if Luke Skywalker never left Tatooine, or imagine if Frodo never left The Shire, or imagine if Eleven never left Mike Wheeler’s basement and just stayed there. All of these heroes were meant for something. They had a purpose, and they lived it out. And we are called to do the same thing.
In the gospel for this Sunday, Jesus pities the people because they are like sheep without a shepherd, and they have forgotten their purpose. When we live on purpose and let Jesus lead us in our purpose, that fulfills us. That is what fulfills the deepest desires of our hearts. And so you have a purpose. You are called to be a saint and to allow Jesus to lead you there. No matter how boring your life may be right now, no matter how frustrating your life may be right now, you have a purpose because you are called to be a saint. This is Spirit Juice. Peace.

The Nightmare Before Christmas. The one character that people love to hate is the Mayor of Halloween Town. The Mayor is smiling on the outside, but on the inside is absolutely selfish. This is the perfect example of what we see in the gospel with the Pharisee—the Pharisee, smiling on the outside, but absolutely selfish on the inside…

Done or Half-Baked
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…
