Okay, guys, it’s time for class, Spiritual Warfare 101. When it comes to discerning something in our hearts, when it comes to our prayer, the evil one, Satan, causes fear, division, confusion, and chaos.
Jesus Christ, our Lord, and God causes peace, tranquility, love, union, and greater faith. In our gospel today, Jesus says, “The thief has come to steal and kill and destroy,” the thief being evil.
But Jesus says, “I have come that you may have life and that you may have it in abundance.” And so when we pray when we are going through our day and feel that spirit of division, confusion, anger, we know that it’s from the bad spirit. But when we go through our day or prayer, we experience peace, union, love, and tranquility, and we know it is from Jesus. Reject anything that is from the bad spirit, and embrace everything that is from Jesus. This is Spirit Juice. Peace.

They reject God, and bad things happen. They dig a hole that they cannot get out of. But the fantastic thing about the first reading for this Sunday is that Jonah, a prophet, speaks to the people of Nineveh, calling them to repent and…

Every year, this Gospel comes up during Lent, and every single year, it wrecks me. Yes, priests can get emotional, too, okay?

Convicted About Jesus
Last year, in a faraway magical land known as Italia. A study figured out what month the average Italian gives up on their New Year’s resolution. And you may have guessed it, it’s February. If you didn’t know, February is one month after January. That’s not much time. The realization is that we want to follow through on things; we don’t want to give up. But the problem is that we are not convicted enough to be able to…
