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.

Powerful Quotes:
- “The fatherhood of Saint Joseph terrorizes the devil. The humility of Saint Joseph terrorizes the devil. The charity of Saint Joseph terrorizes the devil.”
- “Pronounced often and with great confidence the name of Jesus, Mary and Joseph. Their names bring peace, love, health, blessings… and a terror to demons.”
- “If a man allows himself to be an apparition of St. Joseph, imitating the virtues of St. Joseph, Satan becomes powerless in his attacks against the family.”
Key Takeaway:
Pray to St. Joseph daily, invoking his name with confidence, to protect your family and grow in the fatherhood that terrifies Satan. Start today—consistency is your strength.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
