So, when I was a senior in college, I got offered a job with the FBI. And I remember when that moment happened, I felt interiorly so empty, which is crazy because here’s what the world is saying. This will make you happy. This will make you fulfilled. It felt empty at the time because I knew the Lord was calling me to something else. He was calling me to something that would truly fulfill me. In the Gospel for this Sunday, Jesus is calling all of us to die to ourselves so that we can bear fruit and be fulfilled with the Lord. I am sure you all have amazing plans for your life. I am sure your plans for your own life are awesome, but God’s plans are better. And I am sure that with your plans for your own life, you will do good things, but with God’s plan for your life, you can literally shake the universe. This is Spirit Juice, peace.

What Is The First Thing You Think Of?
When I say these phrases, what is the first thing that you think of that comes to mind? The first, “You’re a wizard, Harry.” Hopefully you thought of Hagrid from Harry Potter. The second, “Do not be afraid.” St. John Paul the Great, obviously, and the third, “We don’t talk about Bruno.” Encanto. You know there are a lot of phrases in our lives…

A Christian Arsonist
So I was just accused of being an arsonist. A student just sent me a message with this AI image of myself, saying, “Thank you for setting the university on fire with Jesus.” Jesus says in the Gospel for this Sunday, “I have come to set the Earth on fire and how I wish it were already blazing.” Jesus was in no way a mediocre person. You are not called to be a mediocre person. You are called to let Jesus set your heart…

Ascension Day
Have you ever been away from home for a long time?
