The Holy Rosary: A Prayer For Dark Times‏

About this sermon

How can Catholics remain faithful during the “devil’s hour” and an age of spiritual darkness? This sermon points to Heaven’s repeatedly recommended weapon: the Holy Rosary. Beginning with warnings attributed to Blessed Anna Maria Taigi and Our Lady of Akita, the sermon considers times of war, revolution, chastisement and conflict within the Church. Yet its message is ultimately one of hope. Every Rosary prayed with faith binds the serpent, defeats spiritual Goliaths and plants seeds that will bear fruit in the soul and the world. The extraordinary conversion of St. Bartolo Longo demonstrates this power. Raised in a Catholic family, Bartolo abandoned the Faith while studying law, embraced revolutionary liberalism and became involved in séances and the occult. Tormented by demonic influence and despair, he heard his deceased father urging him to return to God. Through a Catholic professor and a Dominican priest, Bartolo returned to Confession and the Church. He publicly renounced spiritualism and dedicated his life to promoting the Rosary. His mission brought him to impoverished Pompeii, where he taught families to pray, distributed Marian images and Rosaries, organized processions, taught catechism and built the sanctuary that became the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary. Through Mary, a new Christian Pompeii rose beside the ruins of the pagan city. The recording refers to “Blessed Bartolo Longo.” He was canonized by Pope Leo XIV on October 19, 2025. St. Bartolo Longo, pray for us. Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us! 00:00 The Devil’s Hour and the Church 00:42 Blessed Anna Maria Taigi’s Prophecies 01:28 Two Punishments Upon the World 01:51 The Three Days of Darkness 02:23 Blessed Candles and the Holy Rosary 03:03 The Warnings of Our Lady of Akita 03:28 Conflict Within the Church 03:41 A Chastisement of Fire 03:59 “The Only Arms Which Will Remain” 04:25 The Rosary as Heaven’s Weapon 04:54 More Than a Weapon for Survival 05:07 The Triumph of Mary’s Immaculate Heart 05:23 Each Rosary Bead Is Like a Star 05:41 Planting Spiritual Roses in the Soul 05:57 Confidence During the Hour of Darkness 06:21 St. Louis de Montfort on Daily Rosary 07:19 The Conversion of St. Bartolo Longo 07:39 A Devout Catholic Childhood 07:47 Losing the Faith at University 08:03 Liberalism, Fortune-Telling and the Occult 08:39 Rejecting God and the Catholic Church 09:10 Bartolo’s Hatred of Priests and Dominicans 09:50 Demonic Torment and Despair 09:59 “Return to God” 10:16 A Catholic Professor Leads Him to Help 10:33 Confession With a Dominican Priest 10:42 Publicly Renouncing Spiritualism 11:12 “If You Seek Salvation, Promote the Rosary” 11:42 God Calls Bartolo to Pompeii 12:16 The Spiritual Poverty of Pompeii 12:41 Compassion for the Abandoned People 13:05 Teaching Families to Pray the Rosary 13:20 Marian Images, Processions and Catechism 13:36 Building a New Church 13:55 The Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary 14:20 Millions of Pilgrims Come to Pompeii 14:36 The Ancient City Destroyed 14:50 A New Christian Pompeii Rises 15:06 A Land of Resurrection and Life 15:57 Bartolo Longo’s Beatification and Papal Pilgrimage 16:12 The Rosary Will Carry Us Through Dark Times 16:20 The Triumph of the Immaculate Heart 16:27 Closing Prayer For more please visit http://www.reginaprophetarum.org and remember to say 3 Hail Marys for the priest #StBartoloLongo #HolyRosary #OurLadyOfPompeii #PrayTheRosary #SpiritualWarfare #OurLadyOfAkita #AnnaMariaTaigi #ImmaculateHeart #CatholicConversion #CatholicFaith #TraditionalCatholic #SensusFidelium 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 ✝️ SUPPORT THE MISSION 🙏 Donate https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 📬 Free Catholic Newsletter https://sensusfidelium.com/newsletter/ 📰 Read on Substack https://sensusfidelium.substack.com/ ──────────────────── 📺 WATCH & READ 📺 Sensus Fidelium App https://sensusfidelium.tv/ 📚 Sensus Fidelium Press https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ 👕 Official Merchandise https://sensusfidelium.com/merchandise/ ──────────────────── 🤝 PARTNER WITH US 📣 Advertise on Sensus Fidelium https://sensusfidelium.com/advertise-with-sensus-fidelium/ 🎤 Invite Steve Cunningham to Speak https://sensusfidelium.com/speaking/ ⛪ Parish Formation & Consultation https://sensusfidelium.com/for-parishes/ ──────────────────── 🌎 CATHOLIC COMMUNITY ✝️ Trusted Catholic Businesses https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴
