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.

A Father Who Keeps Us Safe
I was just in the Gulf of Mexico, went to the beach, and saw something crazy. I saw a father placing his 2-year-old son on the edge of the water, and he sat there and let his son walk forward. The son took one step into the ocean, looked back at his dad, smiled, turned back, and took one more step forward, and he kept doing this. This little 2-year-old boy felt safe amid a vast, powerful, dangerous ocean because he knew…

Neville Longbottom and King David
Okay, everyone, hot take: Neville Longbottom is the real hero of the Harry Potter series. Looking at him from the outside, it doesn’t look like he should be in Gryffindor, nor doesn’t look like he has anything to offer. But if you read the whole series, you realize within the heart of Neville is a pure heart that is courageous and full of self-sacrificial…

15 Days from Easter
Guys, we are 15 days away from Easter. Fifteen days is not a long time, and it takes 15 days to walk from New York to Florida and 15 days to watch all of the episodes and seasons of “The Bachelor.” Side note, if you watch “The Bachelor,” stop and go to confession. In the Gospel today, we have a foreshadowing of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, and…
