Men, day 32 of our Lenten journey with St. Joseph is here, and it’s a powerful one. As Holy Week nears, this episode dives into why St. Joseph, a humble layman, strikes terror into the devil’s heart. I’m reading straight from Father Calloway’s Consecration to St. Joseph, sharing the gripping story of Blessed Bartolo Longo, a former satanic priest turned Dominican who found redemption through St. Joseph’s intercession. From occult darkness to building the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary in Pompeii, his life proves St. Joseph’s title: Terror of Demons.
Here’s your challenge, men: reflect on St. Joseph’s virtues and ask, How can I make the devil fear me? Focus on one area to improve today. Want to protect your family and lead them to heaven? Become an apparition of St. Joseph. His fatherhood is our model; his power, our weapon. As we head into Holy Week, let’s step up and make demons flee.
