Okay, so I just spent three hours playing Fortnite with another priest. And yes, we got some dubs. But afterward, I felt horrible after three hours of living in unreality that weighed on me. Whenever we are living away from the truth, that is further away from Jesus. And in the gospel for this Sunday, Pilate is also living in unreality. He knows that Jesus is innocent, yet he decides to live and act not in reality. And now we mention him in every creed. Jesus promised that he is the way, the truth, and the life. So whenever we are close to him, we live in the truth. Whenever we live truly in the present moment with Jesus, that brings freedom. Nothing is more accurate than the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. That is true freedom and peace. This is Spirit Juice. Peace.

Has Easter Changed You?
In five weeks, you could walk across states, binge entire movie universes, or even write a novel. And it’s also been five weeks since we celebrated Easter.
So the question is simple: has the Resurrection actually changed how we live?
The saints didn’t waste time, they let the truth of the risen Jesus transform everything, and the world changed because of it. Maybe we haven’t lived that fully yet, but what could happen in the next five weeks if we did?

Don’t Take Away His Family
Today is the Feast Day of the Holy Family. And what better thing to talk about than “Fast and the Furious.” Dominic Toretto is amazing at driving fast. But he is more impressive with protecting his family. My favorite quote from the ninth movie is, “The worst thing you can do to a Toretto is take away his family.” Translate that to our faith, and oh my gosh, the worst thing that you can do to God the Father…

The Most Important Position
So it’s about time we talked about Quidditch, which is obviously a real sport. After consulting many experts, the reality is that the most important position is not the seeker, the keeper, or the chasers; the two beaters on the field are protecting the rest of the team, enabling everyone to feel safe. If this makes no sense, stay with me. In the second reading for this Sunday…
