The Power of The Rosary

Warning:  part of this article may scare you a little.  You will have the opportunity to hear an audio recording of a segment of an actual exorcism.

The Holy Rosary is a strong spiritual weapon to fight evil.  St. Padre Pio called it his weapon.

For those who do not know, St. Padre Pio suffered Stigmatic wounds (wounds of the Crucifixion).  He was often physically assaulted by Satan himself.

So I would say when it comes to spiritual warfare, St. Pio knew a thing or ten.  Yes, we here support the Second Amendment.  However, guns can be taken away.

The Rosary cannot.  Even if the same tyrants who come to take your guns also come for our Rosaries, we still have our fingers.  If they cut those off, we still have our souls and our minds.

We Catholics must behave as true soldiers for Christ, now more than ever.  The Rosary is your rifle.

Many of you have seen the film, Full Metal Jacket.  In the film, the Marines getting ready for deployment to Vietnam are taught to have an intimate relationship with their rifles.

They were told to give it a name.  They were told to sleep with it.  They were taught to know every detail of it.

They made it part of them chanting:  This is my rifle.  There are many like it, but this one is mine.

I suggest you get yourself a rosary, get it blessed by a solid priest, carry it in a good pouch whenever possible and pray it daily.  Take the fight to our top enemy, the demonic.

I invite you to view this audio recording with subtitles of an exchange between an Italian exorcist and Beelzebub, the Prince of Demons according to the New Testament.  Here is the link.

Did you watch?  Yes, I know a skeptic can say it is just a doctored tape.

Well, just like Confession is confidential, so is the Rite of Exorcism.  The victim has a right to privacy.

However, even if it were a video recording a skeptic could say it was staged.  You are never going to view a live exorcism in person unless you are part of a team to pray for and hold down the possessed.

In that case, skepticism is not your friend.  It would be a serious danger to you and everyone in the room.

The purpose of the Rosary is not just to torment our enemies.  It is also to bring Graces and peace in Christ.

Here is a link of a very straightforward talk from a priest who happens to be an exorcist.  In it, he discusses how the Holy Rosary will destroy our vices.

When we destroy our vices, we are essentially putting on a bulletproof vest from demonic attack.

See this link to understand the Graces received through praying the Rosary, including 15 promises from the Blessed Mother for those who devote themselves to the prayer.

See this link to learn how to pray the Traditional Rosary.  If you can pray all 150 decades in a day, that is fantastic.

For those of us who work full time, that is just not always realistic.  Praying 50 decades (one set of mysteries) is satisfactory to fulfilling the daily devotion.

I stick to the 3 sets of original mysteries.

In Ordinary Times of the Church calendar, the Joyful Mysteries are prayed on Monday and Thursday.  The Sorrowful Mysteries are prayed on Tuesday and Friday.  The Glorious Mysteries are prayed on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday.

During Lent, the Sorrowful Mysteries are prayed on Sunday.  During Advent, the Joyful Mysteries are prayed on Sunday.

Personally, I pray the Sorrowful Mysteries from Palm Sunday through Holy Saturday.  I pray the Glorious Mysteries from Easter Sunday through Divine Mercy Sunday.  I pray the Joyful Mysteries from Christmas Day through The Solemnity of Mary (New Year’s Day, a Holy Day of Obligation).

St. John Paul II introduced the Luminous Mysteries to be prayed on Thursdays.  I am not knocking them.

However, I feel Protestant-turned-Catholic and traditional theologian, Dr. Taylor Marshall can explain better than I why I stick to the traditional rotation.  See the explanation in this link.

So there you have it.  If you read this article and view every link, you know why I am so dedicated to the Holy Rosary.

Dr. Taylor Marshall ends every stream saying, “If you don’t pray the Rosary, you’re not on the team.”

We all want to belong to something.  Christians/conservatives are dying to come together and be with like-minded people.

Let’s be like-souled people.  So, come on.  Join the team.

Pray the Rosary, even if you’re not Catholic.  Talk soon.
