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.

Love Mary Like I Love Harry Kane
We just had the World Series, and it was awesome. Please don’t tell the government, please don’t judge me, but I actually was rooting for the team of England. I was rooting for England, because my favorite soccer player of all time is Harry Kane. And in British English, it’s Harry Kane. I love Harry Kane. He is the striker of all strikers…

Ash Wednesday
Okay, it’s been a hot minute, but we are back. It is Ash Wednesday, so we may go up to receive ashes today, and we might not know what we’ll get. You might get the classics, the X marks the spot, the perfectionist, the Harry Potter, the NFL, the Picasso, or the Twinsie, or you could get the double wide. Whatever you receive, whatever is…

No Greater Love (Palm Sunday)
On Palm Sunday, crowds entered Jerusalem bringing lambs for sacrifice, it was messy, costly, and deeply personal. In this Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus enters through those same gates, not just alongside the lambs, but as the Lamb. He takes on what we could never carry, offering Himself completely out of love for us.
That’s the heart of Palm Sunday. The sacrifice is no longer ours to make, Jesus gives Himself for us. The invitation is simple: take it personally, receive that love, and say yes to Him.
