Rosary: A Spiritual Weapon ~ Fr Ripperger 

My son has to commute for one hour to get to work. I asked him if he'd call me we could pray the rosary together (he's on the road by 4:00 am). After praying the rosary just one week, he called me & said, "Mom, i want to come back to the church! Thanks be to God & our Blessed Mother!!!🙏🙏🙏

I was homeless and lost. For years my life was nothing but living on the streets and getting high. Till one day, I walked into a Catholic church and made confession. That day my life changed. Things started looking up for me and here I am today, going back to the Catholic church and feeling a sense of hope in my life again. All of this because of confession, the rosary and a little faith. Blessed be God forever

I want to become a Catholic, and I pray that God gives me His Grace.

Coming back to the Catholic Church, praying the Rosary, the sacrament of Confession and the Eucharist has completely changed my life.

Rosary saved the life of my little niece from high fever, way back in 1986 when we were stranded in a place where no basic medicine available, but my rosary. I rubbed the rosary around her body while I was saying 15 decades and wrapped her with my sweater. Just when I was finishing the 15 decades her fever was gone!

I went to confession and mass yesterday. While I was sitting down saying my prayers before mass I noticed a man in his 30s kneeling and praying the rosary. This man oozed out manliness and strength. I have seen men talk about all the hours they spend at the gym and pump up their muscles but I just laugh. I have heard men brag about all the guns they own but I just laugh. Yet when I saw this man kneeling and praying the rosary I could not stop thinking about how strong and manly he looked. I only looked his way for about 5 seconds because I didn't want him thinking I was some sort of creep or something. Sadly so many people don't understand the rosary. Sadly so many Catholics (especially men) think the rosary is only for little old ladies. That is not true. The rosary is very powerful. A priest once said the rosary is basically a mini-bible. If more and more people (especially men) prayed the rosary every day there would be a revolution. A good revolution.

The Holy Rosary prayed everyday with great fervor and in the state of grace will and can move mountains. My life has changed I quit smoking and drinking. I don’t watch television. I have one mission for God to pray for souls and pray for shorter days. I love Our Lady my Queen and Mother. 15 promises of The Rosary are Real.God has shown me how He sees my soul. My life has completely changed and I have peace. Stay close to the Sacraments.

I appreciate the intellectual rigor provided by Father Ripperger. This is one reason I converted to Catholicism as an adult. Serious answers to serious questions. Thank you. God Bless all seekers.

I have been praying the Rosary diligently every day for the last month and my son came to me and told me he wanted to go to confession when we get back to The US from Mexico. ❤❤❤🙏📿🙏

Eastern Orthodox here and there are many of us who have a strong devotion to the Theotokos through the Rosary. While Roman Catholics may be our separated brethren, they do a great work for the Lord and the world in preaching and praying the Rosary.

This is true , since I prayed the Rosary didn't do the sins I use to do .Thank you Mama Mary!I love you, Jesus!

Yes, pray the rosary. The devil flees in fear.

SAINT PADRE PIO- " The ROSARY is the weapon."

Amen, confession and praying the rosary ended my 20 years slavery to a mortal sin, immediately and after I tried so many things..... it blew my mind

At times I weep while praying the rosary. It takes me so long to pray it especially when focusing on the sorrowful mysteries. Our dear St Mary is so pure and I'm not. Makes me sad that I ever did anything wicked.

Rosary is part of my life since I was 9 years old....it helps me a lot up to now, I became a third order lay Carmelite...

I started praying the rosary last night . Tonite again and hopefully everynite from now on .

I was delivered from 30 in addiction of through the Rosary, through Mother Mary I found Jesus...now I volunteer to help those in addiction, and have a paid job helping the homeless,and those less fortunate and now a member of the Catholic church/child of God Praise GOD, Thank you Jesus 🙏💞✝️

Once you start praying the rosary you can’t stop. You just feel different

I prayed the Rosary as a Baptist seeking the Truth, that same Sunday I went to my nearest Catholic Church. Now I am confirmed.

For a very long time I thought that praying the rosary was just old ladies...what a fool I was! I am now praying the rosary but will admit that it can be challenging at times...it takes much effort and faith. I’m trying and ask God Almighty to give me strength...✝️ Thank Fr.!

When you pray the rosary, keep your prayers and intentions holy and willing the good of others. Be alert and do not stray into the sin of superstition when praying the rosary. God hears the prayers and allows Our Lady to do miracles in His name when the rosary is prayed. Be firm and serious when you pray.

Why would you down vote this? This is pure gold!!

God really loves us, because after giving us his son, Jesus gave us his mother. That is love.

I spent many years as a lapsed Catholic after being confirmed and recently returned after I was asked. These videos by Father Ripperger are an enormous help to someone like myself who returned to the Church.

I believe that have testimonies of the rosary oh I can't explain it all here but some among the many is when I started saying the Rosary my life that was messed up by witchcraf wz set free, 2 I started getting peace slowly 3 my financial situation got better 4 Be4 I was hopeless but got hope 5 I t drew me closer and closer to Jesus 6 Even those that I prayed for got better 7 freedom from evil attacks Oh just to say it's a wonderful prayer for those who say it wholeheartedly and meditatively. I loooove it soooo much.Glory to Jesus.Thanks for the gift of the Rosary and the hvnly mother is my best mother ever.Thanks.......

Please pray for me, my family and friends: inner peace, employment/good finances, home and food, conversion/or coming back to the Catholic church, good health and happiness. Thank you. Amen.

Fr. Ripperger, I wish I knew of you when I was younger. How much of a difference you have made in my life now as an adult.!! God bless you!!

Please pray for me. For my sickness. Also I began to pray on rosary.

i love the whole Sensus Fidelim library of sermons... every priest is awesome and gifted thinkers. i watch several sermons per day and revisit them over and over again. Thanks to all of the priest in Sensus Fidelim

When I was young my parents make us pray the rosary prayer every 6 pm.and go to church every Sunday.But we don't understand why we have to pray the rosary prayer and what is the prayer for and the story nobody tell us why.Although my parents are very religious and had 12children.and I'm no.8 from the eldest as we all grown older and have our own family the bonding of family that pray together with the rosary stop.Some of my sis.and brother convert to different religion group coz they think they are God choose religion and they think their new religion group can take them to heaven.Even some of my family still carholics but that song pray the rosary prayer even me I used to forget to pray the rosary prayer.Somerimes in this life we struggle what ever it is we struggle and sometimes we face trials in our life and sometimes when we are so busy with our daily life job.family.friends.money and material things we thought that's all important in our life that we sometimes forget about God and forget to pray the rosary prayer because the enemy of the Bible try to distract us to pray and to pray the rosary prayer coz we don't.realy know the meaning of the prayer and the story of the prayer.So in 2004 I have this dream I saw a young beautiful lady or woman she's wearing all white simple dress.Shes standing above my bed by my feet .she smile at me and with her hands wide open she's holding a big and long rosary cross and she try to tell me something but I can't understand the language she speak then she's gone then I woke up around 3 somerhing am.I thought she's a ghost in my dreams so I forgot all about it.but after like 1 month I went to this small pilipino store that sells all kinds of home decor but it's expensive and I only have 20 dollars so I was about to walked. out that door but for some reasons it's liike some one tell me to go in the backside of the store.so I did and as soon as I went in the backside of the store the first thing I see is this small white statue on display wall with a rosary cross by her body and.shes standing in this like a cloud with 3 white doves by her feet.I take that small statue coz it reminds me of my dreams.I take it to the cashiers which is probably the same owner of the store I asked if she know where she appear or her story and the cashiers said Virgin of Fatima or Lourdes but never pray to her coz she's nobody just a mother of Jesus Christ .Shes anti catholic and hepocrites so I have no time to argue with her and she doesn't know what I see on my dreams.I bought it it's only 13 dollars.And to. Make the story short that store who mock the virgin Mary after like maybe 1 year they are out of business.And for 1 year I only put red plastic rose around the statue but after 1 year I start putting real flowers around the statue and for 3 weeks or so I forgot to throw away my dead flowers and. I was about to throw it away but I notice the flowers get hard.shrinks and dry but the color seem never die.so I experiment some I bought new flowers with leaves on it no. water on it and for weeks.months and years still the flower seem never die the color of the flower still the same and the leaves still green they get hard.shrinks and dry and if you leave it so many years the flowers so fragile easy to break in pieces but I believed the bleesed mother Mary try to tell me she's for real even though I don't know it then that she really appear to those 3 children in town of Fatima.100 years ago.and I think she wants me to share my dreams to let others know that Yes shes. For real and she wants all the faithfull of her son Jesus Christ to pray the daily rosary prayer .The rosary prayer is to honor and to remember her son Jesus Christ who suffer and die in the cross for our sin and the sin of the world.The cross represent the life.dearh.and resurrection of Jesus Christ that's why we pray the rosary prayer it's every footsteps of Jesus Christ agony.pain.being mock and tortured before he was crucified on that wooden cross.Thats why they call it the 5 statiob of the cross.And it makes all sense why she's always had a rosary cross with her and why she always encouraged all the fairhfull and believer of her sin Jesus to pray the rosary prayer coz it's not only to honor and remember her son Jesus but also to help the lost souls that needed the most of gods mercy and most of all God give her another mission to do to crushed the head of the serpent we all know who he was the enemy of the Bible she will be the leader to go in the battlefields along with all gods good angels and all the fairhfyll people that pray the rosary prayer she needed an army of God to fight against the serpent the enemt of the Bible so carry your rosary cross with you where ever you go and memorized the prayer you can pray it anywhere in your car at home with family or anywhere and don't be ashamed of the cross remember who was crucified on it and die for our sins.Thw bleesed mother Mary always try to draw us closer to her son Jesus Christ for he is the way.the life and the thruth and llike what she said to those 3 kids in town of Fatima 100 years ago she said there is he'll she show it to them and she said the Cup is already Full she could no longer hold back the hands of her son Jesus one day .She know she has so many dis obedient children of hers in this world but she continue to appease and send her message to the world to pray.repent our sin and sin no more and to follow gods rules which is the 10 commandments she love all her children in this world that's why she always try to draw us closer to her son Jesus if only we listen to her message to the world.Gos bless every one

I don't know how many times I've listened to this, but it seems I need to hear it once in a while. The current trials are just too strong. Lord have mercy. Oh, Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee!

My friend and I started praying the rosary once a week . We started out with my husband and 3 children. We regularly get a neighbor or children in the neighborhood to join us. I notice how quickly the children learn to pray and they actually participate with joy.

Seven years later the world is only sinking further into Sodom and Gomorrah 🙏📖✝️ Praying the Rosary daily.

One of the hardest virtues to preserve is purity. This priest is very right! We can overcome lust and maintain purity by praying the rosary. If I didnt pray the rosary on a day, I would fall into this kind of sin. But if i pray a rosary or rosaries for that day, I wouldnt commit impurity and other sins.The truth is ALL VICES CAN BE ELIMINATED GRADUALLY BY PRAYING A ROSARY OR MANY ROSARIES EVERY SINGLE DAY. I am a living testimony for that! I also feel safe when i pray the rosary because the devil cant touch me. How great is the protection we get from the rosary prayer! But we must have a sincere desire to amend our lives for the rosary to be effective.

Since Exodus 90 the Rosary is mandatory every morning. I have to say with someone like me (easily discouraged) I’m maybe a little more of a man than I was before, temptations come around but I feel as I’m protected. I didn’t pray the rosary for 2 days and I immediately fell into multiple temptations. Now I see I’m nothing without (literally) Praise to God!

I needed to hear this. I have returned to The Church on the back of listening to these videos. It is spiritual warfare and I want to fight. Amen

Ive listened to this video twice now, and it is so powerful. Father Ripperger is a gift from God to us mortal and fallible humans. When I listen to him I feel my faith in God increase tenfold, and my journey to Christ shortens. Say prayers for Father Ripperger and say your rosary.

Praying the rosary changed me. I got rid of my biggest weakness/vice. I became more devoted to Jesus and Mary. I believe I am no longer lukewarm. Praise God!

The rosary is a very, very powerful and effective weapon and protection against the evil one and anything that is evil. Mama Mary is behind the rosary. Praying the rosary gives us not only peace but joy coming together hand in hand. I have personal experiences with Our Lady and the rosary. Thank you, Mama Mary.

I was thought The Rosary when I was a child. Am elderly now & need to learn @ the various Mysteries of the Rosary again! That's why I'm listening! Thank you for sharing with us!

The rosary is effective. When you pray the rosary, keep your prayers and intentions holy and willing the good of others. Be alert and do not stray into the sin superstition when praying the rosary. God hears our prayers and allows Our Lady to do miracles in His name when the rosary is prayed. Be firm and serious when you pray. Keep a devotion in the rosary.

Powerful homily, so much to learn, so much to sacrifice in order to win Christ. May God bless our Catholic Church.

I wouldn't be converting if it wasn't for the Grace that God blessed me with when I prayed the rosary

Through the Rosary, i went to Mass and confession after more than 1 year of a fornicating life....i started saying it in november 2019, after about 3 weeks, i was scrambling to find a priest to make a good confession and after that had to wait about 2 occasions after to receive Communion. It was not my will. Yes partly, but more i was LED tocomplete these. Now so far i receive communion and daily say all mysteries daily as time allows.

Praying the rosary is really powerful. With it I was able to overcome my pornography addiction, and I’ve since had less desire to play video games to distract myself from my God given duties. Every Catholic should pray the rosary, I think.

My Blood Pressure has been normal for the last few days and the only thing different in my life is: 1. I've begun praying the Rosary every night & 2. I've actually forgotten to take my BP Medication for Hypertension - diagnosed a year & a half ago. Thank you, Jesus! I'm going to the doctor next week to follow up to see if I should officially come off the medication.

Ave Maria, gratia plena Dominus tecum benedicta tu in mulieri­bus, et beneditos fructus ventris tui, Iesus. Sancta Maria, Mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatoribus, nunc et in hora mortis nostrae. Amen.

Everyone Needs To Watch This !!!!! Good !!!!! Ave Maria !!!!!

Blunt and to the point. Tough answers for tough questions. Telling the truth about sin and how to overcome it with the Rosary. All very true. GOD bless you Fr. Ripperger.

I made sure to go to confession Saturday.

This is wonderful! I'll pray a rosary for you Fr. Ripperger

Thank you for this , I just gave a rosary to my room mate and am trying to get her to say it with me daily

Lockdown a blessing at my home. We have started the family rosary at 7pm, my husband who never comes for any family prayer joins it .And if we are not at time , he is very angry. Thank you Mother Mary😀🙏🙏🙏

This week was the first in 8 weeks that I didn't have a mortal sin on my conscience. I attribute wholly the grace granted me to withstand temptation to faithfully praying the Rosary.

Thank you Fr. Ripperger!

Yes we are under spiritual attack. Evil attracts Evil. And I have my own experiences where I was under attack. The more I Came Closer to my Blessed Mother and Jesus, the less the attacks were happening. I now don’t get attacked by demons Anymore. The Battle Is Real. ❤️🙏

The best , most thorough explanation of the Rosary I've heard on RU-vid.

This is why I’m still sleeping comfortably at night even, when those who don't know me decides to hurt me for no reason. I do nothing. I’m baptised, I read my Bible and pray my protection prays with the rosary sometimes, to cover my body daily to ward of evil, then I just sit by and watch all my enemies fall. Evil people should never use the rosary to do evil to good people. It' will always backfire back on that person especially, if you’re hurting someone who isn't doing anything wrong to you. It's even worst if evils is directed at an anointed person. The truth!

I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel. Genesis 3:15

Thank you Father! Let's pray the Holy Rosary and live a Sacramental life. God bless you.

Thank you, Fr. Ripperger. Your talks are helping me to wake up spiritually.

Bernadette at Lourdes heard strange noises like many demon voices during an apparition of Mary, and they stopped when Mary looked in that direction.

Love your talks, have learned more listening to you than all the years I spent growing up in catholic surroundings, school, home life and Sunday schooling, thank you so much💛🙏🌷

Enlightening! We need more of this in the light of what is happening in the Church. Just recently started praying the rosary daily.

It's always well worthwhile to watch Fr Ripperger's videos. The finest spiritual instruction in decades. I was educated in the faith prior to vat II which has given me an advantage to a great extent.( I wouldn't trade that for 30 years of youth or actually any amount of years.) Thank you. I only wish I could go to confession to Fr. Ripperger. There are no priests remotely like this in my area.

I started praying the rosary,I mean the 5 mysterious and I started feeling forgiveness in me...I forgave from my heart

God bless you Father Ripperger !!!! I learned so much!!!!!

Read the excellent book, " Champions of The Rosary " and learn to use the weapon God gave us to defeat the evil that surrounds us. Pray The Holy Rosary every day.

Beautiful beautiful message on the Holy Rosary! 🌺 Pray the Holy Rosary everyday! It is THE weapon for these times! 🙏🏻

It's so strange. I'm a first responder who works 12 hours shift on my feet during this pandemic time, laying down with a horrible pain in my knee, and just after the listed to this video my pain got reduced. God bless Christianity and people who share their good devoted spiritually.

The Holy Spirit wakes me up every morning at 6 i crawl out of bed and start my HOLY ROSARY and other prayers .i started doing this about 3 or 4 years ago its my Quiet time with MOST HOLY GOD im a mother of 5 and still married .I love love this time it wasnt my decision i do believe it is the holy spirit .I wake up in great form .Also i hear in my heart COME RING OUT OUR JOY TO THE LORD HAIL THE GOD WHO SAVES US.❤

Thanks for posting and yes, the Rosary is super important! 😀

I don't remember what age I stopped praying the Rosary, but looking back my life started going down hill after that.

Please pray for the miracle healing of my Heart teeth gums eyes ears stomach lungs and all the organs and parts of my body mind spirit and especially for my family 🙏

Father is sent by Mary. So grateful and am learning so much

I know how powerful is the rosary because the virgen Mary said so , and for my own witness I seen how how powerful the rosary thanks to God .

When I learned the power of the rosary, I began to include it in my life . Thank you Father Ripperger .

"The first thing they kick out is the rosary." Absolutely right. I have been coming to understand why Protestants/Christians talk about "Jesus and me". It allows them to keep our Lord in a box.

God Bless you Father...

Beautiful, beautiful picture, of the blessed mother.

7:33 St Seraphim of Sarov. Eastern Orthodox saint and an advocate of a version of the Rosary that had been used in the Christian East in the first millennium that fell out of use early on. He was trying to bring it back.

For the love of my Blessed Mother and the rosary, this video is times 10 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 for me. God bless you Father Ripperger.

Rosary is our weapon, lets share it

Pray the rosary as the blessed mother said. For peace in the world and salvation of souls

In this half hour talk Fr. Ripperger gives more useful information, on the deposit of our faith, Catechism, and IMMUTABLE LAWS of truths than you would get in an entire semester of lectures at some university! BRILLIANT!

I can attest to Devotion to the Holy Rosary vs Mortal sinning. I remember the very 1st time I heard a father make this statement that either a person will quit Praying the Holy Rosary or quit Mortal sinning. It's true, I pray the Holy Rosary daily still. I will say it daily till the day I pass on.

These are the best videos to listen to. Useful, everyday process to grow in holiness. Thank you so much whoever posts these for us. Xoxo 😇😇😇😇🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😇😇

I was a lesbian for 25 years! The rosary and tradition latin mass saved me!!!

Chad is just amazing! And joining forces with TD nJakes and Steven Furtick, not to mention Tony Evans......all I can say is Wow!

I pray the rosary everyday. What surprised me is that I saw Momy in my house I even took a picture but people can't believe it. Sometimes when I pray Mother Mary talk to me. I remember one day asking Her to give me a job She said ( Mother Mary) you want things instantly. But thanks to her I'm now working.

I can't stay a day without hearing you're teaching father I even memorize your teaching may you enter deeper and deeper in the mystery of Christ like st Thomas Aquinas.

I’m happy to make weapons to help Our Lady.....

What a powerful presentation. I love the Rosary. I think it has changed me profoundly.

Breaking sin is brutal... God give me strength through my transformation back to you.

Do the rosary for a week. See what happens. Even if you don’t feel like doing the whole thing. At least do the first part of it. See what happens for you.

Thank You ...

2023: We are now seeing just how strong the attacks are. Father is saying that you must be in a state of grace in order for your INTERCESSORY prayers to have divine effect. However, if you are in a sinful state, you must also pray so that you may be granted forgiveness and return to a state of spiritual purity.

We must pray the Rosary every day. Please pray for The Holy Catholic Church, the Bride of Christ. The Church and Christ are one.

Thank you father
