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.

Trinity Sunday
“My Life with the Walter Boys,” “Vampire Diaries,” “Twilight,” “Stranger Things,” and “Outer Banks,” what do all of these things have in common? Love triangles. And not the most wholesome love triangles. Today, we celebrate the solemnity of the most blessed Trinity, the most perfect, epic love triangle, the love relationship between the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. This is what…

Will You Know Jesus?
If I were blindfolded and placed in front of a lineup of women, one of them being my mom, I absolutely would be able to choose my mom out of the lineup because I know her. I know how she speaks to me. I know what she smells like. I know everything about her. I know it all. In the gospel for this Sunday, Jesus speaks to those who are not prepared, amen. I do not know you. It’s terrifying…

Security Blanket
Question: what is your security blanket? For Gollum, it’s the ring. For Tony Stark, it’s the Iron Man suit. For Woody, it’s his status as a favorite toy. In the gospel for the Sunday, Jesus gives us the foundations of discipleship, and one of those things is getting rid of the unhealthy attachments that prevent us from Jesus. We all have them. We all have those security blankets that bring us false security…
