In the Marvel movie “Infinity War,” Dr. Strange is the hero. Dr. Strange is the one who looks at all of the possible future scenarios and finds the one where they get to save the world. That’s the crazy thing. Dr. Strange has to keep it a secret to preserve the timeline and save the world.
Today, on this Feast Day of the Immaculate Conception, Mary is preserved from Original Sin by the merits of Jesus Christ on the cross to save us. Jesus Christ is so good. Jesus Christ will go to incredible lengths to be close to us and to reveal his heart. And he has given us a mom who always leads us to him. And so my invitation is today: pray the Hail Mary, but realize, as you pray the Hail Mary, the whole prayer is pointing towards Jesus. We have a mom who has been preserved from Original Sin. All she wants is for you to encounter the Lord. Have an amazing Immaculate Conception. This is Spirit Juice, peace.
