If you’re a Marvel fan, what would it be like if Iron Man was real? If you’re a Harry Potter fan, what would it be like if Hogwarts was real? If you’re a Pokemon fan, what would it be like if Snorlax was real? Now, imagine that you’re an Old Testament Jew. What would it be like to realize that the Messiah was real? That’s what you would be dreaming about. That the Messiah, the Son of God, is true and real. In the gospel for this Sunday, Jesus claims that. Jesus says, “Today, the scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.” Jesus tells these faithful Jews, “It’s me and always been me.” And Jesus is speaking to us as well. “Every time we go to Mass, you open up scripture, and the Eucharist is consecrated; it’s me. It’s always been me.” It’s the best news ever. This is Spirit Juice. Peace.

The Imprint on Your Hearts
Let’s talk about money. In ancient Rome, Caesar’s face was imprinted on coins so that people would know who the emperor was. In this Sunday’s gospel, Jesus asks the Pharisees to take out a coin and tells them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and give to God what is God’s.” Jesus is telling the Pharisees to give him his coins, be good citizens, pay their taxes, and not jaywalk. But everyone…

Embrace Everything From Jesus
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.

The Narrow Gate
I just got back from an incredible camping trip in Montana. One thing that was so amazing about this trip is that in order to go to this camping site, we had to go into this narrow valley. And in this narrow valley, we couldn’t use our phones at all and we knew that. We were willing to give up our phones, our social media, everything…
