Saint Joseph, faithful guardian of the Holy Family; model of virtue, obedience and strength; and a man of profound faith and unwavering trust in the Lord's plan, is also known by a remarkable title: “Terror of Demons.” Father Donald Calloway, MIC, explains how this reminds us of St. Joseph’s powerful intercession and his role as a spiritual warrior who protects us from evil and leads us closer to Jesus and Mary. Then hear the story of Fr. Richard Conlin, whose early years found him more devoted to his golf game than the Church. But he soon found himself deeply influenced by St. Joseph, who became a spiritual father to him and shaped his journey of faith.

When Our Lady presented the Rosary to St. Dominic, she said it would be used as a battering ram against falsehoods, a kind of "spiritual sword."

Donald Calloway, MIC, as he shares his personal testimony of the life-changing power of this devotional prayer. Then be inspired by the story of Joni Seith, as she shows us how prayer and faith help her to persevere amid great suffering.
