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 first reading for this Sunday. Her husband entrusts his heart to her, and that is the reality.
Jesus is the bridegroom who is entrusting his heart to us. No matter if you are a woman or you are a dude. Every time we go to mass, mass is the wedding banquet. Every time we receive holy communion, the bridegroom is entrusting his heart to us, and we have a God who is not indifferent. We have a God who is relentlessly in love with us. This is Spirit Juice, peace.

Guard Your Time Well
So in the gospel today, a sower goes out to sow, and the sower throws seed down on the thorny ground, and the thorns choke the seeds so the seeds do not flourish. We are often thrown onto the thorny ground, and busyness is one of the big things that really chokes us. Busyness in our lives chokes our relationship with Jesus, and we do not…
