Demons are clawing at your soul: temptation, rage, despair, real and relentless. Who's the warrior you call when hell unleashes its worst? St. Joseph, Terror of Demons, the silent carpenter who makes evil tremble. In this Lenten Reflection we're deep in the fight. St. Joseph didn't just flee to Egypt with Jesus and Mary; he stared down Satan's hounds and won. Saints like St. John Bosco and St. Faustina saw it: invoke him, and demons scatter. Fr. Calloway's exorcism tale proves it—a relic of Joseph sent them screaming. Why? He is holy, pure, backed by Jesus and Mary, Hell's ultimate foes. Be the terror they fear. My challenge: pray today for your garden. Your wife, kids, parish. Guard them like St. Joseph did. Hit play, grab your rosary, and let's make demons run.Keywords: St. Joseph, Catholic men, Terror of Demons, Lent reflection, spiritual battle, prayer, faith, Manly Catholic podcast Products/References: Catechism: Paragraph 329 Tradition: Fr. Donald Calloway, St. John Bosco, St. Faustina Kowalska (Diary), St. Teresa of Avila Contact: themanlycatholic@gmail.com Powerful Quotes: “St. Joseph is not just a carpenter with a toolbox. He's the guy who stood between hell and the Holy Family, swinging with divine backup.” “Be a man that when you wake up, your feet hit the ground, Satan and his demons say, crap, he's getting up.” “If we are not praying consistently for these people that God entrusted to put into our lives... we are failing as men.”Key Takeaway:Pray today for your garden—your family, your vocation. Five minutes calling on St. Joseph to guard them sets you as a terror to evil.

Gentlemen, ever wonder what St. Joseph felt when Mary's pregnancy rocked his world? In this Manly Catholic Lenten Reflection, we dive into a rare gem, the Mystical City of God by Venerable Mary of Jesus of Agreda, distilled by Michael DeMaio. Okayed by the Church, this private revelation paints Joseph as a master craftsman who shunned wealth, a 33-year-old virgin picked by God with a blooming staff, and a man wrestling with doubt yet rising to protect the Holy Family. From grueling journeys to Egypt to Mary tending his frail final years, it's raw, human, and real. Your challenge: re-listen and step into Joseph's shoes. Use Ignatian imaginative prayer; feel his anger, resolve, and trust. How would you react? Be honest. This isn't dogma, but a window into a saint who is flesh and bone just like us. Hit play, grab your coffee, and let's walk Nazareth's dust with him.Keywords: St. Joseph, Catholic men, Mystical City of God, Lent reflection, imaginative prayer, faith, Manly Catholic podcast Products/References: Book: Mystical City of God by Venerable Mary of Jesus of Agreda Text: City of God Stories by Michael DeMaio Prayer: Terror of Demons, Memorare to St. Joseph Powerful Quotes: “St. Joseph was 33 years old, strong, fit, and handsome... he could have become a very rich man, but instead he gave most of his earnings to the poor.” “If St. Joseph had believed that Mary had any guilt in causing her pregnancy, he would have died of sorrow.” “They had flesh and bones just like us, they had doubts, they had worries, they had hopes and dreams, and it just puts flesh in the game.”Key Takeaway:Today, take 10 minutes to imagine yourself as Joseph—facing Mary's news, trekking to Egypt. Feel it, then ask: how would I respond? Honesty builds grit. Call to Action: Share this episode with a brother, and let us know how this hits you.

Storms. They come at all stages in life. Bills are stacking up, your wife is stressed, and your kids are lost in screens. Who holds it together? YOU. And St. Joseph, the Pillar of Families, shows you how. Today, we dig into his role as the rock of the Holy Family. He was the pillar of the Holy Family. Steady, faithful, and unbreakable. He wasn't just a carpenter fixing tables; he built a home where Jesus learned to pray and Mary thrived, facing chaos like Egypt's exile with a spine of steel. The Catechism (1655) calls the Holy Family the Christian model with Joseph being the cornerstone. Our world might be splashing around the boat, but you can be the anchor.Lead your family in prayer today. Start with grace before dinner or do a full rosary if you are up for it. Small, doable, foundational. Your family's not a side gig; it's your battleground for sainthood. Hit play, grab your work boots, and let's build a legacy that stands firm like Joseph's.Keywords: St. Joseph, Catholic men, Pillar of Families, Lent reflection, family, faith, strength, Manly Catholic podcast Products/References: Catechism: Paragraph 1655 Encyclical: Redemptoris Custos by St. Pope John Paul II Prayer: Terror of Demons, Memorare to St. Joseph Tradition: St. Bernardine of Siena Social Media: Twitter, YouTube Contact: themanlycatholic@gmail.comPowerful Quotes: “You're not just a paycheck or a handyman... you're the foundation. You're the tone setter, the one who stands firm no matter what the world throws at you.” “Your family is not a side gig, it is your battleground. It is your call to sainthood.” “You were not made for comfort. You were made for greatness. And being great is hard.”Key Takeaway:Start now: lead your family in one small prayer today—grace, Angelus, anything. Be the steady pillar they can lean on, because that's where holiness begins.

Through a rich and engaging conversation, they explore the profound yet quiet impact of Saint Joseph, comparing his humble obedience and dedication to God with the bold acts of Old Testament prophets and the revered apostles.Father Boniface and Joe bring to light the unique role Saint Joseph played, not only as the earthly father of Jesus but as a spiritual guide who significantly influenced Jesus' upbringing and character. They explore how Joseph's actions, marked by unwavering faith and resilience, mirrored the principles of trust and obedience depicted in the scriptures, shedding light on his decision to become a refugee for the safety of the Holy Family.Listeners are invited to embark on this journey reflecting on how Joseph's life exemplifies the core values of faith, humility, and perseverance. This episode serves as an inspiration, encouraging us to embrace our roles and responsibilities with a spirit of service and commitment to higher ideals.Beyond a historical exploration, this conversation aims to rekindle a personal reflection on the nature of our relationships – with ourselves, with others, and most importantly, with God.

Silent Strength: Lessons from St. Joseph, Spouse of Mary Today's Gospel focuses on St. Joseph. As you know, there are several feasts honoring St. Joseph, while today the focus is on his role as the spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary. While there are other celebrations—such as St. Joseph the Worker and the Feast of the Holy Family—this occasion highlights his character as a husband and spiritual leader. St. Joseph is portrayed as a silent, obedient, and just man, whose actions reflect deep listening to God, mercy over rigid justice, and courage in protecting his family. The message draws attention to his quiet strength, righteousness with compassion, and fatherly leadership, offering a powerful example for men and fathers today. Pope Francis also recognized St. Joseph's role by declaring a special dedication to him and shifting Father's Day to align with Joseph's celebration. Ultimately, St. Joseph is upheld as a model of humility, mercy, courage, and spiritual attentiveness—qualities essential for family life and Christian leadership. Listen to this Meditation Media.

Who was St. Joseph in real life? Not some distant figure on a pedestal. No, he was a flesh-and-blood man. He had to pray, listen to God, and live chastely. Picture a man wrestling with his longing for greatness and his desire to serve God. There were times when St. Joseph didn't know what to do. He felt helpless. But he knew where to turn: God. And he knew how to do it: entering into silence. That's what makes him great. We cover: • Four pillars of greatness. • St. Joseph's authority in the Holy Family. • Your responsibility to embrace the dignity of women. • Looking to God for your identity and mission. • And more.

Read OnlineWhen Joseph awoke, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took his wife into his home. Matthew 1:24What is it that made Saint Joseph so great? He wasn't immaculately conceived as our Blessed Mother was. He was not divine like Jesus. But he was the head of the Holy Family, its guardian and its provider. He became the legal father of the Savior of the World and the spouse of the Mother of God. But Joseph is not great only because he was given such incredible privileges. First and foremost, he was great because of the choices he made in life. Today's Gospel refers to him as a “righteous man” and as a man who “did as the angel of the Lord commanded him.” Thus, his greatness is primarily on account of his moral righteousness and obedience to the will of God. Joseph's obedience is especially seen in the fact that he obeyed the voice of God given to him in the four dreams recorded in Scripture. In his first dream, Joseph is told “do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home. For it is through the Holy Spirit that this child has been conceived in her. She will bear a son and you are to name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins” (Matthew 1:20–21). In his second dream, Joseph is told, “Rise, take the child and his mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I tell you. Herod is going to search for the child to destroy him” (Matthew 2:13). In his third dream, Joseph is told, “Rise, take the child and his mother and go to the land of Israel, for those who sought the child's life are dead” (Matthew 2:20). And in his fourth dream, Joseph is warned to go instead to Galilee rather than Judea (Matthew 2:22).When these dreams are read in succession, it is clear that Saint Joseph was attentive to the voice of God. We all have dreams, but Joseph's dreams were different. They were clear communications from God, and they required a willing recipient. Joseph was open to the voice of God and listened in faith as that willing recipient.Joseph also responded with complete submission and full determination. The commands Joseph received were not insignificant. His obedience required that he and his family travel great distances, take up residence in strange lands and do so all in faith.It's also clear that Joseph took his vocation seriously. Pope Saint John Paul II gave him the title “Guardian of the Redeemer.” Over and over, he showed his unwavering commitment to his role as the guardian of his legal Son, Jesus, and of his wife, Mary. His life was spent providing for them, protecting them and offering them a father's heart. Reflect, today, upon the unique vocation of Saint Joseph. Ponder, especially, the early years of his marriage and the raising of Jesus. Consider his fatherly commitment to care for, provide for and protect his Son. We all must seek to imitate Saint Joseph's virtues by protecting the presence of Christ within our own hearts, the hearts of our family and friends and in the world as a whole. Pray to Saint Joseph, asking him to help you follow his example so that the hidden presence of our Lord in our lives will grow and come to full maturation. Hail, Guardian of the Redeemer, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary. To you God entrusted his only Son; in you Mary placed her trust; with you Christ became man. Blessed Joseph, to us too, show yourself a father and guide us in the path of life. Obtain for us grace, mercy and courage, and defend us from every evil. Amen.

Brothers, ever wonder what it takes to be a real warrior—not just in the movies, but in the trenches of life? In this episode of the Manly Catholic Podcast, recorded March 10, 2025, for our Lenten Reflections, we're zeroing in on St. Joseph as the Zealous Defender of Christ. This isn't about swinging a sword in some epic battle scene—it's about the grit and guts it takes to shield your family and faith from the enemy prowling around us. St. Joseph didn't back down, and neither should we. Ready to unleash that warrior spirit God wired into you? Hit play and let's charge into this together.Here's what's on deck: St. Joseph wasn't a soldier, but he was a fierce protector—guarding Mary's honor, hauling his family to Egypt to dodge Herod, and keeping Satan's claws off the Holy Family. We'll unpack how his example flips the script on today's push for men to just sit back and shut up. This is about spiritual warfare, gentlemen—standing firm against the lies and threats gunning for your wife, kids, and church. I'll throw in a shoutout to my buddy Paul, who lost his job for defending the faith, to show you what real courage looks like. This episode's a wake-up call to stop snoozing while the battle rages.And because I'm not here to just talk at you, here's your challenge—take it seriously: Assess the Threats - Sit down today and list one spiritual or physical danger hitting your home—maybe it's garbage media or a toxic influence. Speak Up - If someone trashes the Church or the truth around you, say something. Start with, “Hold up, that's not how it is,” and back it with facts. Make a Battle Plan - Write down how you'll defend your family (prayer, cutting distractions), your faith (knowing your stuff), and yourself (hit the gym, hit the pew). Then do it.This isn't optional—our homes are war zones, and the enemy's already inside. St. Joseph acted fast; we've got to move too. Whether you're a dad, a priest, or a guy figuring it out, this episode's got meat for you to chew on. Listen up, take notes, and let's fight like men of God. Push play and step into the fray.3 Powerful: “The most vicious men on this planet can happen in the spiritual realm… That is where we can be warriors.”“To sit idly by while the world corrupts our children, attacks our church and distorts the truth is to fail in our mission as men.”“If you are not willing to stand up for your faith, for God, for your bride, for your family, what are you doing?”Call out one threat today. Spot something—maybe a show your kids watch or a coworker's jab at the faith—and take one step to shut it down. St. Joseph didn't wait; neither should you. Act now, even if it's small.Gentlemen, this episode's your rallying cry. St. Joseph's warrior heart beats for us to follow. Hit play, lock in, and let's defend whaSend us a text Support the showPlease prayerfully consider supporting the podcast on our Buy Me A Coffee page. to help grow the show to reach as many men as possible!

Fr. Mike explores the mystery of Jesus' infancy and hidden life. We first take a look at Jesus' Baptism, circumcision, and the Epiphany. Fr. Mike discusses that Jesus' circumcision shows us that salvation comes from the Jews. The Epiphany shows us that salvation does not stop there, it extends to all of us. Later, we examine Jesus' hidden life. Fr. Mike emphasizes the importance of Jesus' obedience to not just his Father in Heaven, but to his earthly father and mother as well, and how we can imitate that obedience. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 527-534. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

On “Jesuitical” this week, Zac and Ashley are joined by Sister Josephine Garrett, a sister of the Holy Family of Nazareth, a licensed counselor, host of the “Hope Stories” podcast and the author of the new book, Wilderness Within: A Guided Lent Journal for Prayer and Meditation. Presently a counselor in private practice, Sister Josephine earned a master's degree in clinical mental health counseling from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology in 2019. Prior to entering religious life, she worked as vice president in the home loans division of Bank of America. She resides in Tyler, Tex. Zac, Ashley and Sister Josephine discuss: - The challenges (and graces) that emerge in the spiritual wilderness - How therapy and counseling compare to spiritual direction and prayer - Why Lent promotes deeper reflections on our relationships with others and ourselves In Signs of the Times, Zac and Ashley are joined by America's editor at large, James Martin, S.J., to give an update on Pope Francis' health after his 13th day in Gemelli Hospital, where he is being treated for pneumonia in both of his lungs. They also discuss Father Martin's viral prayer for the pope during his illness, which is linked below.
