Okay, guys, you have to check out this photo. This photo was taken in 1974 of a little boy named Harold. Harold could not hear anything, so doctors placed a hearing aid in his ear, which is the reaction of Harold hearing sound for the first time. And this picture is so moving, but what we hear in the gospel for this Sunday is even more moving and more incredible. Jesus Christ takes a deaf man away from the crowd, and Jesus heals this deaf man. So, for the deaf man, for the first time in his whole life, the first sound he hears is God’s voice.
At every moment of your life, Jesus wants to speak words of love, adoration, gentleness, and healing upon you. Don’t be distracted. Get close to the Lord, and especially this week, take time to go away with Jesus for a while so he can remind you who you are. This is Spirit Juice, peace.

Perseverance Will Secure Your Lives
One of my brother priests, he used to be a chaplain for the Navy Seals, and he’s such a great dude. Let’s just say he is pretty large. He has biceps as big as my face. He was in a war torn country celebrating mass for his Navy Seals. As he’s celebrating mass, an explosion happens outside of the tent. The priest dives for…

A Christian Arsonist
So I was just accused of being an arsonist. A student just sent me a message with this AI image of myself, saying, “Thank you for setting the university on fire with Jesus.” Jesus says in the Gospel for this Sunday, “I have come to set the Earth on fire and how I wish it were already blazing.” Jesus was in no way a mediocre person. You are not called to be a mediocre person. You are called to let Jesus set your heart…

It’s Okay To Be Single
Shout out to everyone who is single. That’s right. And coming from a celibate priest, I need to let you know it will be okay. We can often experience a feeling of not being chosen when living a single life. We can often feel as if, I guess, I’m just not worth it. There’s something wrong with me. But the beautiful reality of the gospel today is Jesus, who says…
