Girls, drugs, partying, the occult, and so much more I will spare you details. Father's experience and mine are remarkably similar except that I didn't develop a relationship with Mary until after my conversion. Jesus pulled me out of hell and Mary keeps me out. I am now Brother Damien Cafaro, OSB. Been a monk for ten years as of the first of Feb. Thanks be to God.
Love Fr. Calloway. When my son was on home hospice with brain cancer in 2019, we watched his conversion story on DVD. It moved my son to tears. He had been away from the church for years and he cried out to me, “I need to go to confession”
Nicole Allen . Thankyou fear Nicole for sharing this heart touching story of your son. May GOD abundantly bless you and your family. I hope your son is perfectly alright by the grace if GOD.
I have found that praying the rosary everyday brings great peace in an often chaotic world. At times when my faith is challenged, it can be difficult to sustain prayer. But if I power through the rosary and place my doubts with Mary, she leads me back to Christ. I pray that all will find comfort in the rosary, especially those who are suffering.
I really do not like praying the rosary, but have done so anyway over the past 2 years since co-vid began, with “The Fatima Rosary Crusade” on RUclips. I needed to do something and the rosary was there for me. I am changing and Mary, I know is slowly working to bring me to obedience, purity, and holiness.
I'm a Protestant Convert and I can witness firsthand that The Rosary is the *most* *POWERFUL* Prayer I have ever known! It literally has rescued me from anxiety and fear that used to devour my sanity and keep me miserable for most of my life! From the first time I prayed 4 Rosaries my mood changed so dramatically I could hardly believe it❣️ Now I pray even more than 4 a day because the more Rosaries I pray the clearer my mind feels. More focused, calm and joyful. Even my physical energy rises! Not to be messed with The Holy Rosary of our Blessed Mother! Virgin Most POWERFUL Pray for us 🙏🙏🙏✝️✝️✝️❤️❤️❤️
Decades ago - in Boarding school, we said the Rosary often, however, as an adult, I find it makes no sense at all reciting prayers over & over - again & again - no thought at all about what is being said - they are just words and playing with beads. So now, I will say The Lord's prayer, one Hail Mary & Glory be to the Father and two short prayers for the souls in Purgatory, BUT slowly & with thought and sincerity. Amen
@@MichaelThompson-jq3zf I find that the repetition of prayers helps to keep me in a meditative state as I contemplate the mysteries of the particular day. Being in that meditative or contemplative state can help me to discern God’s will. At times, I still find it difficult sustain the contemplative state of prayer throughout the repetition, but daily practice is helpful. It sounds like you have found a way to deepen your prayer life and I wish you all the best in your faith journey.
I used to be intimidated by the rosary before my prodigal reversion to the Faith, now I’m cradled in the arms of the Blessed Mother! Praise be Jesus Christ!
The Rosary didn't mean anything to paul ,peter and any of the diciples or apostles in the first century. Why ? Because is rubbish and pagan practice of the late Roman church. Yeshua and Mary will never allow this type of worship.
@@bobloblawb2593 Mary is our mother and she prays for us. If you don't know that it is time for you to learn and you don't agree it is OK. I didn't say she can do anything for us. She prays for us. Happy palm Sunday if you are a Christian
I’m sobbing. I love Mary so much. I’ve heard Father Calloway’s story, but wow, this was beautiful. I had a dream a couple weeks ago about the devil dragging me away, but then I screamed MARY and the devil left me alone. Mary kept me safe. Never feel afraid to pray to Hail or ask for her help…she’ll lead you to JESUS.
Amen 🙏🏼 I had a dream once that I was at a grocery store and there was a mass shooting. It was a terrifying dream and I had nowhere to hide and protect myself. I see the shooter headed right toward me and realized I was holding a rosary in my hand. The moment I said the words, ‘hail mary’, the shooter ran right past me as if I wasn’t even there and I woke up, my dream was over. At the name of Mary, demons scatter. She will indeed lead us to her Son 😇 we need her in our lives. ruclips.net/video/kJLi1sRXNx4/видео.htmlsi=XRlPnOFqhwIj1WC3
Her feminine love as a male makes me so emotional. I cannot not cry when I communicate with her. She delivers love to me every single time I can count on her
I’m Orthodox. I had the same exact experience that Father mentions around 1:20. And the most amazing thing about it, and how I know it was genuine and real, is that I was not at all expecting it. It was during my first confession after having been out of the church for so many years. And believe me, I did it all. I did it ALL. But He took it all away in an instant. He forgave me and now I belong to Him. Father’s example around 2:07 also happened to me, but this was before my conversion. It was actually the catalyst that led me on the road to seek Christ and His Kingdom. I, too did not believe in the devil of personified evil. Not until I was lifted out of my bed (I was not asleep, I was wide awake) and choked by a tall, pitch black figure that I just knew was a demon. It spoke to me through my head, almost telepathically, and told that I would not be let go until I called it “master”. I was absolutely terrified. This, I know, that God allowed to happen to me and others so that we seek Him. He allows the devil and his cowardly minions to attack us because sometimes it is literally the only thing that will cause us to wake up. Of course, I’m still a wretch and a sinner, no doubt the worst of offenders. But I seek His forgiveness and the love of the Most Holy Theotokos and Ever Virgin Mary. Glory to Jesus Christ! ☦️🙏
We are all sinners arent we? But i know deep in my being, that I am loved by the most sacred heart of Jesus, and Mother Mary is always there to lead me to the Lord and hold me when i falter.
Demons don’t want us to get out of their grasp and that is why we have those experiences when we are coming back to the Light and Love that is Jesus, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. It does indeed serve the purpose of waking us up and brings us closer to Him. Whenever I’m in a good path I know stuff will happen to keep me away from it and those things confirm to me I’m progressing the right way.
Praying for you to come to the Roman Catholicism, brother. And I say that with all my love and respect for you and for the Orthodox church. Love you in Christ, God bless you.
This is so similar to my story!!! I’ve been having horrific nightmares for a year or so and I finally spoke to my Priest about them the other week - he did deliverance prayers over me and told me if they are demonic it can either settle them completely or settle them for a while and then they come back possibly with vengeance and we will have to do deliverance prayers again (they have started again). In my nightmares I never get to see what is attacking but the attacks are horrific. Sometimes in my nightmare I’m thrown around my room, others it’s grabbing me and digging it’s nails in deep into my skin trying to push me off my bed. The nightmares are so real that I wake terrified thinking I actually experienced that thing. In my nightmares I would be crying out for Jesus and also trying to shout out the St Michaels prayer but I could only get out a few words before my words jumbled and I couldn’t stop the attacks until I eventually managed to wake myself up. However after meeting my Priest, getting deliverance prayers and blessed with oils everything changed. That night I had another attack/nightmare but this time I just knew to shout out for Mary and I said “Mother Mary help” a now my Priest didn’t tell me to call on Mary BUT he did send me away with a blessed green scapular that day. After I said “Mother Mary help” the thing that attacks me said “why would you do a stupid thing like that” then the attack ended! People need to turn to our Mother because her power is so great! I will hand on heart tell everyone that a year ago also that it was the Rosary that healed my son! He was in the grips of an eating disorder, doctors wouldn’t help us despite his heart being affected and having abnormal blood works so I turned to Our Lady praying the rosary asking if it is Gods will that my son be healed from the grips of his eating disorder. After praying the rosary nightly for weeks/few months my son woke up one day saying he was going to eat and not let it win!
Also, put St. Benedict medals above your front door and back door, plus wear one on your scapula. I haven’t had a dream like that in years. This along with saying the rosary.
I’ve had these exact dreams for YEARS and it’s terrifying! A few months back I started meeting with a priest who pinpointed the sin in my life that was letting the devil in. Repenting along with daily mass has mostly ended it. I also say the rosary almost daily. And I’ve heard that when you’re receiving the Eucharist daily there’s no room for Satan to get in. Thank you for sharing! Makes me feel less “weird”...
I had a similar, terrifying dream a few years ago. In the nightmare, the demon was crushing and paralyzing me but I managed to scream, "Help me, Jesus!!" The demon fled, the attack was over, and I woke up. I rolled over in bed and instantly saw a luminous white orb of light hovering in the air a few feet beyond the foot of the bed. I made me feel calm and at peace, even though my heart was pounding like crazy when I awoke. It gradually faded away, and within 10 seconds, I was fast asleep as if I had taken a tranquilizer. What a night! I'll never forget it. Thank you for your testimony.
I had frequent sleep paralysis episodes throughout my childhood and college years. It was progressive, lasting several more minutes each time and it was terrifying. Once as a young working mom I was exhausted and could feel an episode coming on. This one was different… I couldn’t see or hear, everything was pitch black and I felt like I was falling through the darkness of space. I couldn’t breathe this time and was becoming flaccid, possibly dying. A woman in bright white and blue appeared to me in the emptiness and said “Say, My Jesus I Trust in You.” I said it, and Christ appeared in flowing white and red robes with his exposed heart on fire, holding his hand out to me. I took it and immediately awakened. That was my very last paralysis episode, I’m now almost 60. This sounds not too bizarre except for this part: I was not raised as a Catholic, I was Baptist. I was later looking through a Catholic catalog and saw it… that image of HIM, The Divine Mercy. Not being raised Catholic I had not seen or heard of The Divine Mercy before. I became a Catholic. Then a Catechist, then Eucharistic Minister, then Lector, then Women’s Community Service Guild officer then Pastoral Council member. My Jesus, I Trust In You. Thanks be to God❤️🔥
ONLY Priests are Ministers of the Eucharist!!! Extraordinary ministers of Communion are those that can give the Consacrated Hosts in case of emergency. Unfortunately, that ministry is being misused!!!
This happened to me when I was pregnant with my son and I didn’t know it yet. A dark figure was trying to pull me at my womb while I was sleeping at night. I called out to Jesus and the blessed mother. And they saved me. Fast forward to my son’s delivery. I had the worst experience with the worst doctor, and ended up getting a c-section. Recovery was horrible. I was traumatized. Ended up with postpartum depression for 6 months. My son is 1 now and he is the happiest baby ever. He is so joyful, and precious, and easy-going. My first pregnancy the devil attacked my husband when we had a girl. My second pregnancy the devil attacked me when we had a boy. The first time it brought me to discover the theology of the body. And now I’m re-discovering it again. The devil definitely hates mothers but he fears the blessed mother because she is immaculate. I am so blessed to have Jesus and mother Mary on my side while I care and nurture my children.
Oh my, thier is no power in the name of Mary, she is not pure she was a human like us, You Catholics are so decieved, JESUS IS GOD, NOT MARY SHE IS NOT OMNIPRESENT OMNISCIENT. SHE IS NOT GOD, SHE IS AN IDOL, TO YOU PEOPLE & you all GIVE MORE POWER TO MARY THAN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. Where in the bible does it say all power goes to Mary it doesn't. The bible says all power goes to GOD THE FATHER, & THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, THE HOLY SPIRIT The 1st commandment. Says have noother God or Gods before me. No other name should be above my name. This is idol worship, The Name of Jesus is above any other name. Mary was ONLY a chosen vessel to bring the Christ to the World. In Matthew. She at his crucifixion she to him. My LORD & My God, Mary needed a Saviour herself so that does not make her a God to worship her.
@@risingahead2024 She is honoured by a faith community. When Jesus was dying on the cross he said to one of His disciples "Here is your Mother." Therefore Mary is OUR Mother . It's not about "idols."
"I was at church before the filipinos" HAH that made me laugh so hard! But in all seriousness I love this clip. I think it was Fr. Pine who said before that sometimes God would allow us to have encounters with the evil one(s) so that we can become closer to God. Sometimes it takes a drastic experience for us to become closer to God.
True. happened to me and made me crave Jesus in the Holy Eucharist, confession and Mass so strongly. Drew me closer to Jesus and was the most amazing experience ever despite the pains I went through. God bless you
So I heard from Father Calloway that when he went in the church with Filipino women praying 🙏 rosary 📿 he was asked to pray a decade and literally went into his mind that he will have to pray that so many years to commune with Mary. As Filipina I love saying my 📿 in front of the altar in the church and to spend time in adoration.
Filipino here. And i was shocked hearing it from fr. Donald. A serious offender yet always seeks our Lord in the Eucharist. Ave Maria! ❤️ Thank You, Lord Jesus!
The Story of People's Conversions is inspiring, finding their way in Christ when they've been in the darkness for so long. It's inspiring and it just moves me. Someday, I'd love to share my story, cuz even though I was raised Catholic, it's only just recently that I've chosen to stay Catholic and get more into it. Keep Praying the Rosary my brothers and sisters, and God Bless You All and have a Happy Lenten Season!
The Rosary is the mightiest prayer weapon I have ever found. 4 full mysteries are my daily diet for mental sanity, hope and Joy. From a Protestant Convert ❣️✝️🙏
Brother, never be afraid to share your testimony, as it is the key that unlocks the door to someones prison cell, if you feel you don't want to commit it to a social media platform, the Holy Spirit will guide you to share it with whom He chooses, before my Redemption from drugs, alcohol, demonic sinful living, I would here the testimonies of others, so when I found myself at the gates of hell, I knew I had to surrender every part of me to Jesus, no coercion, I wanted Him to have every fibre of self, it was text book St Paul conversion, on fire and saved by Jesus Christ Son of the ever Living God, may he continue to shine his countenance upon you every day of your life 💜✝️
@@mary-claremoore3103 For me, I was living a life of sin and didn't care because of all that happened to me, until my grandma turned 60 and made me realize my own mortality, It was like waking up from a nightmare, the devil kept tormenting my mind for days, until I finally got down and started to pray, and it was like a feeling of silence had swept through my mind, and that's when I knew, it was time for me to let God back into my life. I'd like to say more, but maybe one day, I'll share the whole story.
The devil pestered me to despair, telling me day & night that my sins are so big that it cannot be forgiven even after confession. I told a priest my situation so he prayed & blessed me & told me to pray the rosary when I get home. After I prayed the whole rosary I felt the gray darkness disappear and I felt so light. I love Mother Mary. She gave me victory. I now pray the holy rosary daily. Sometimes twice a day, so in love. The presence of Jesus in the rosary is so strong & I see His life in each Hail Mary.
Pray the rosary. 5 decades a day for a week. Then, see if there are any improvements. Mary will be the one responsible. I love my rosary because it makes me better... I love Mary for the same reason...

Our Blessed Mother answered a prayer for my grandmother, one day in Advent on a Saturday evening. I was hungry and really looking foreward to a burger I had bought. I said grace and felt oddly called to pray for grandmother who passed away in 2015 to Our Blessed Mother. I remember asking Our Mother Mary to pray for my grandmother who was always dedicated to her in life. She would always say `A Son can never refuse His Mother.` I remember feeling a presence to my side and slightly behind me. I did not see anything but I somehow knew it was a woman in a covering like Our Blessed Mother is depicted in so often. And I remember knowing that there were twelve stars around Her head and I realized it stood for the Twelve Tribes of Israel and it was a crown. That was how I knew it was Our Blesses Mother. I felt her tell me to put down my food and fast until after Mass the next day, to offer it up for my grandmother and pray a Chaplet of Divine Mercy. Then her presence was gone. I remember feeling very tempted to eat the food, but being reminded I was essentially choosing a burger over my grandmother resting in peace set that straight after I am ashamed to say a bit of struggle. But I did as instructed and I did not feel the need to pray for my grandmother since then, though I do anyway just to be certain, God will not waste it, I know. That Advent also was my best Advent ever and I grew by leaps and bounds in repentence and conviction for my many...many sins. Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us. Amen.
Wow...I'm just overwhelmed by the power of God and His mercy. He is alive! May He be praised and glorified forevermore. Thank you Fr. Donny for sharing how powerful our Blessed Mother has been in your life.
I had just made a very good confession and that night I had a “nightmare” and I was being tortured by demons telling me that Jesus did NOT love me. This horror ended when I woke up loudly saying “Jesus does LOVE me!” As soon as I woke up I fell back in bed and peacefully fell right back to sleep feeling like the chains around my heart were finally broken. That big horrible confessed sin that I had spent years and years trying to defeat became a thing of the past I not been tempted to go back to it again.
Thank you for sharing this interview. I love Fr. Calloway. He helped me to see the power of praying the rosary on a regular basis. When I started about a year and a half ago I too was attacked by something I feel was demonic. I was laying in bed one morning not ready to get up but thinking in my head “thank you Lord for all of my blessings and doing your will today,” when all of a sudden something felt like it jumped on top of me and started choking me. I couldn’t move of say anything and I had a hard time breathing. The only I thought would save me was to start praying. First the Our Father then the Hail Mother. Before I finished praying the Hail Mary what ever was on top of me instantly left. It’s weird, I wasn’t really scared because it confirmed for me I’m on the right track to God if the evil one try to get at me.
I experienced the same thing when I was 20 , as I decided to teach Sunday school, in my sleep the devil came sat on me and chocked me I couldn't breath he said " Sunday school yeah, Sunday school " it was terrifying
I too have a similar story of the devil appearing to me in the flesh. Petrifying is the only word to describe it. God bless you Matt and Fr. Calloway. May you always be protected under the mantle of Our Blessed Mother.
I have experienced something similar to what Father Calloway experienced as well. It occurred during sleep but I was awoken in an almost sleep paralysis state. These attacks happened multiple times until finally, they stopped happening. It was very loud, evil, and oppressive. There was nothing I could do except call out to Jesus and rebuke what was spiritually attacking me in the name of Jesus. This occurred while I was a Protestant and not yet Catholic. I also had an invalid baptism at the time. Thanks be to God He saved me every time. He sheltered me under His wings.
I was attacked by serpent and was above my head I couldnt sleep, I don't know what to do and I know I lost my control on my self, next day morning while I was sitting on my bed, all on a sudden Mother Mary appeared on my face I called her Amme(mommy in my native language), the moment Mother Mary come out with her face on my face the serpent pulled down from my head. Next day when I prostrated before the Holy Family picture all the snakes hiding into my body jumped out through my toes and fingers. It was frightening. Slowly I improved back to my continuous rosary. It took a while to come back. Now when I look back it was a terrifying experience and the final victory was of our Holy Mother Mary. Yes, pride is crushed by Humility.
Thank you for sharing your testimony Thomas! You referring to her as “mommy” shows faith and love of her and her son Jesus. One little word and she is there! Beautiful!
I had the same experience and it also attacked my family and the demonic wanted to poses our souls because we were turning back to our catholic faith, the nightmare went on 3 years the first year was horrendous, but once we received the sacraments we grew strong in faith, and our lady visited with st Micheal, and spoke words of encouragement, our lives have turned around 360 degrees, the rosary the bible etc etc, we just can’t get enough, we’ve never been so happy ever. God bless 🙏
Doetsch@ in a sense l did l turned my life around and faced my demons I put on the armour of light and I fought back l didn’t hide or run away from them they followed me everywhere
Yes. Conversions are the order of the day. Normally, one converts little by little, over time. But sometimes God gives a great grace that transforms a great sinner into a great saint overnight. Grace is more powerful than sin: ruclips.net/video/6l3Pp-BPoWA/видео.html
Listening to the explanation of Fr. Calloway’s experience with Christ is really similar to my own experience. The feeling is overwhelming, yet filled with true love and it is so profound! When I had “demonic attacks”, I always tried my hardest in my sleep to punch whoever/whatever was attacking me and yell, “NO!” in a defiant matter.
@@KeyboardSourceError Look, all you need to do to show the world the truth of your "demonic attacks", is have your smartphone ready to record the event. Even better have a pig (or another more convenient pet) to hand; perform a Matthew 7 : 7 ritual asking Jesus to cast the demon into your pet. Your demon possessed pet could then be subject to scientific scrutiny. Until then I suggest you do a little research into nuero science, it might just help you to learn how to differentiate between what is real and what is imagined. Are you seriously telling the world that your 1 Peter 3: 15 reason for believing in the truth of 1 Corinthians 15: 14, is a nightmare?
Did that rant make you feel good? Better scripture for this kind of rant, is the one with the mill stone around the neck. Please be careful. Don’t underestimate how God calls another out of the darkness.
@@dd-yz5zz I'm an atheist, I no more fear what your bronze age mythology baby killer deity can "call out of darkness", than I do of being eaten by a fire breathing dragon.
This story is AWESOME! Love Fr. Calloway. After retiring a couple of years ago, I was under heavy attack from the evil one. He said horrible things to me 24/7. Finally I’d had enough. I went to the beach and cried out to the Holy Spirit, what do I do to stop this, my life is being ruined. Immediately I received a beloved answer from Holy Spirit, “use the same words Jesus used, GET THEE BEHIND ME SATAN.” Then I was flooded with the best peace I’d known for a long time. I began using the sacred words each time an attack happened and guess what, it worked. Shortly after my cousin invited me to join her Rosary Prayer group and now I live in better peace than I deserve. Praying the Rosary everyday has made the peace last. We are so blessed by Jesus, the Holy Spirit, our Mother Mary, and God. Life is much better as I’ve recently returned to mass as well. I learned too, that when a demon shows up, through the power of the Trinity we can caste them out with His words and get this, demons have to listen to us because we belong to Christ. Blessings to you all!
Super testimony! Love it! And I can testify from personal experience that The Rosary does make the *PEACE* *last* Most POWERFUL Prayer I have ever experienced ❣️ From a Protestant Convert 🙋🙏✝️💖💖💖
Wonderful video, thank you for everything you do!!!!! Being baptised catholic as a baby was the greatest gift EVER!!!! And what a joy to only now be learning really and truly about our beautiful faith! I'm 37. Thanks to both of you 🙏and to Jesus and Mary ❤️
When I was younger I had several dreams where the devil appeared. It was usually a black silhouette. I would shout, "My soul belongs to Jesus!" over and over again. The evil would go away. Love Father Calloway. Watch his video about the rosary!
@@joecardone4887 A false Jesus. You dont get to Jesus through someone else. What is so hard to understand about " I am the way, the truth, and the life, no one comes to the Father except by me"? Where is Mary in this passage?
@@Romans8-9 R e a d i n g C o m p r e h e n s i o n The verse says “No one comes to the Father except through me.” Nothing mentioned about “Nobody will come to know me except through me.” Surely someone first invited you to have a relationship with God, right? Maybe your parents raised you Christian or maybe a friend told you about Him or maybe it was a stranger during a hard time in life? For me it was all of those situations at different points in life. Implying God can’t use people to point others towards him is kinda ridiculous
I had a dream about Our Lady: in it, I was suffering a great deal and I was telling her about my problems and she was consoling me. I remember feeling this complete union she had with God, I can't even describe it. I don't remember if she said anything to me, but I don't think it mattered; her presence and her ear was enough for my consolation. I do remember seeing demons in the background hiding, as if they were waiting for her to leave. And I told her about them too, pointing them out to her. Then she blesses me in the sign of the cross with the start of the holy rosary (the part with the cross before the decades). I don't know why it was just that part of the rosary, but that's what I had seen. And while she was blessing me is when I truly felt her complete union with God; Like I knew in my heart no other creature was like her, and I was strengthened after that. It was a pretty cool dream. Though I didn't understand it at first because she appeared to me as my aunt when she was younger. I thought maybe that dream was meant for my aunt; that she was going to become something for God. But then I started realizing later on it was Mary herself and the dream was for me. I still don't understand why Mary would appear as her though.
God be ever loved praised and adored for all the wonders He does for us. Thank you Fr. Calloway for sharing and deepening our faith, especially in these troubled times.
Inspiring story, made my heart warm. Also, I had an addiction to porn couldn’t stop it and it controlled me. I asked for help from Mary and immediately it cured the addiction, whenever I now get tempted I feel and remember the grace given to me and that love fights off that evil. Thank you Jesus and thanks for the podcast for helping me remember that wonderful moment of when God helped me.

This sounds similar to my own experience. I dealt with sleep paralysis with demonic harassment for years and years never knowing how to overcome it. After returning to the Church after a 20 year hiatus of agnosticism and materialism I was cured after praying out to Jesus and Mary during the attacks. One time while praying out during an attack a benevolent spirit of immense power appeared before me and drew into my body with so much force that it made my body jolt up. The numerous demons who were in my room at that moment were literally terrorized with fear and I saw them running away. Another time the same female demon who would regularly attack me during sleep paralysis turned to ashes just from me looking her face to face while praying the Hail Mary. I was previously never able to make face to face contact with this particular demon on my own accord, only with the help of Mary. I also am fairly certain in saw Satan or at least a high ranking demon who appeared before me face to face. He was hovering above me while in my bed. He had wings, which was unique among the numerous demons I dealt with. His presence was malevolent however he wasn't trying to disturb me or strike terror in me as all the other demons would do, he was only looking me over and inspecting me as if to try and make sense of who or what I was. Fast forward a couple years now and no demons have reappeared since, thanks be to God. Instead I had subsequently been greeted by an angel praying beside my bed. I wouldn't want to be so confident as to say that I'm cured per se, although I do feel my soul has been cleansed at the deepest levels that I have access to. But I intuit that I'm well protected by the sacraments.
Amazing. I too suffer from sleep paralysis and calling out to Jesus and praying the our father do it for me. I never have an episode of terror during sleep if I have prayed the rosary. Going to latin mass has helped so much as well and confession. Thanks be to God.
@@katherineroe9137 I too find The Rosary puts the demons to flight and I usually drift off to sleep while saying one. I suffered insomnia and nightmares my whole life till I met JESUS and even after that something or some beings would still show up trying to frighten me in the night. Now all I have to do is pick up the holy beads and I know the enemy will flee without a doubt💪 It's such a profound relief to know I don't have to live in dread of satanic attacks in the dark since I know which "911" to summon to come toss out the nocturnal spiritual criminals👊👊👊 Virgin Most POWERFUL Pray for us 🙏✝️💖💖💖
I feel like I've been under some sort of attack ever since I stopped anti-depressants. On one hand, this made me less dull/passive and brought me awareness of a sin of sloth, but at the same time I keep getting anxiety about whether I have enough courage and stamina to face the world. Obviously I have no choice, but to do that, but the fear keeps popping up, and it paralyzes me. Prayer brings relief, but I'm starting a new job soon, and I can't be in this state.
Hi I suffer from depression too and sin of sloth. I refused to take prescriptions but after an intense PMS in which I was rendered immobile for a whole week and even took a day off work, I went straight to Sprouts and got nutritional pills. It helped a lot. It’s called “Sunny Mood” from Irwin Naturals. I will try out something for ADD too. Ideally I would begin with week-long fasting - juice fast, or even 3-week full body detox (raw vegan + herbal pills targeting all systems).. this surely resets the body’s hormonal conditions at least and clears up the mind.
BTS is part of my healing journey 😂😂 Music can be effective LTR (words affect your templates, check the music you habitually listen to, and remove anything that is abusive) + hypnosis… If you feel alone try listening to BTS, the fans are great too, many of us suffered from depression and anxiety and their music helped us… 😆 “Zero O’Clock” is like a friend in a song 😭💜 “Answer: Love Myself” motivated me to really act in order to heal myself. “Idol” is healthy for anyone struggling with self-esteem and relationship abuse. Sing and dance it if facing psych warfare, or if you need to heal from any narc in your life
Did you just abruptly stop taking your medication? This could cause the anxiety you feel. If you can pray, ask for the intercession of St Faustina. Jesus asked her to give her anxieties (and sins) to Him. This has helped me too. Peace be with you and every success in your new job. Remember God has a plan for your life
When I was 8 years old i was suffering a lot..from abuse and abandonment...I had a massive breakdown one day and curled up on the kitchen floor and started shaking and crying. This lasted a few hours. While this was happening i was sort of...in this...world....where I looked left and I saw the gates of hell and just behind the gates was the man who had abused me....and to the right i saw heaven and behind those gates was my grandfather....I feel the influence of both of them was fighting for my....being...my peace of mind...after a while i sat up...cried for a while longer then told my grandmother what I had seen. i asked her not to tell anyone because i was worried I would be put in a mental hospital again..which is where i had been put because of the abuse because CPS had told my mother either I had to go or my abuser did and she chose him. Soon after this....incident...I began going to church...I got saved...started reading and learning the bible..and grew much happier. Now i still suffer from ptsd..get angered w hen conflict and things like shouting matches start and such..but I am better now than I was...much better...
Awesome Conversion to Jesus testimony! Awesome power of the most Blessed ever-Virgin Mother Mary testimony! Awesome Conversion to the Catholic Faith and Church testimony! Awesome testimony of the holy work of GOD in your life, Father Callahan!
I JUST REMEMBERED SOMETHING.....I had a dream last week, "something bad" was trying to change my mind, to make me deny something I loved...I said "NO, go away!"...then, like a shield Our Lady appeared blocking whatever it was and it went away....I immediately felt safe, at peace....I spoke out, saying "Thank you Blessed Mother, thank you Blessed Mother, thank you"...I fell asleep feeling like a baby warm and snug in it's mother's arms. 😇
Thing held me down, as I tried to get up to confront it standing, I grabbed my Miraculous Medal around my neck and it tried to go down my throat to stop me from saying the "..the Lord.." is with thee; mocked me as I struggled to continue saying Hail Marys, I still clutching my Miraculous Medal. It must of gone on all night because I woke up in the moring saying the Hail Mary's out loud. Took me several days to get the coat off the inside of my mouth. This has never happened and I can only guess it thought I only wore Our Mother for show. I am in awe that Our Mother Mary gave me courage to fight and in the end saved me. I have been saying the rosary in gratitude since then.
I had vowed to God to go to the Holy Land and become a nun for 10 years. 6 years ago I finally fulfilled the first part of my vow by going to the Holy Land. While I was at Nazareth, during Mass, I was allowed to see the Blessed Virgin smiling so happily and glowing. She said “Look how happy I am! You have overcome many obstacles to get here. We are pleased. We bless you.” Two days later I was in Jerusalem. Upon opening my hotel room my parents and I smelt a beautiful fragrance of roses that came of nowhere. To this day they still don’t know that that perfume was Mother confirming her happiness. (The second time I smelt roses was venerating Saint Agnes’ relic 5 years ago and she granted me a miracle). I also was allowed to see her picking prayers in the form of roses when I was 4 or 5 years old. I’m 24 now. I had never felt such motherly love, I felt that she was truly my mother and loved me with such maternal care. In November I heard her say “All will be well” concerning my vocation.
You are both so amazing!! Thank you for sharing your stories, the world is so blessed to have you both guiding and caring about our souls! Viva Cristo Rey! Hey, how cool is Mary, she is THE MOST loving of all mums. Falling in love with Jesus is the most awesome thing that could ever happen to someone. Sin is bad!! BUT! When you actually realise that Jesus and Mary are ALWAYS there for you and are eagerly waiting to help you straighten out your life… WOW!! Life is never the same again, it is just one great happy longing to be with Jesus… and the most deep desire to bring souls to Jesus, so they can feel His amazing love and peace too. I get why satin is so upset and trying to destroy humanity… he knows what he had and can never have again. NOW THAT IS TERRIFYING!! Jesus and Mary please save souls. And everyone, please PRAY PRAY PRAY the Rosary!! Mary, through God’s Grace will definitely work wonders throughout your life… You will experience the most incredible love for humanity and you will deeply want to bring souls to Mary to give to Jesus. After Consecrating my life to Mary ( which I never thought I would do) my whole life completely changed. If only people would at least try to pray the Rosary, oh what an incredible world we would have. Take care and know many people are praying for you both daily. Love and prayers from Australia 🇦🇺 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
So happy to see this interview. I've seen this priest in a video about Mary years ago in a talked that he gave and I've been searching and hoping to see him again. So what a pleasant surprise to see him again. He's a cool cat! He's a bright light for the chruch.
Thank you Fr. Calloway for sharing your story. Our oldest son was in pretty much the same situation you were. Mercifully he had a turn around and is now a devoted father and husband. He will be 44 this year and I still pray that he will come fully to our Catholic faith.
Powerful! Particularly the last 5 min! I’m a parent of a teen-going through what you guys went through! I have taken to fighting spiritually for the last 6 months. The battle belongs to God! Mary will be his protector!
Wow! What a great witness to the Mother of Jesus! Father, you also cracked me up with your 2 Filipino jokes as part of your story: When you said, "I was in church on mornings before the Filipinos, and for a white boy..." and the pretty Filipino girl who would make a good wife but became a nun. Haha! Thanks, Father. You're definitely a Filipino at heart. And you're definitely near and dear to the Queen of Heaven and Earth.
Just Love this interview with Father Calloway! Been reading his books! Can’t get enough of his Beautiful messages about Our Blessed Mother! God Bless you for providing this interview! Just Great! VIVA CRISTO REY!!!
I thought the video was amazing! This could help us all but especially those with addictions. Jesus loves us ALL equally. I remember a similar experience after being born again with a commitment prayer in front of others. (Alpha) I have not been the same since. That was 20 years ago. For the first 3 years I just kept walking around saying spontaneously from my centre: “thank you Jesus, thank you Jesus, thank you Jesus….” I just felt him. I knew that I was NEVER alone. I began studying the Bible daily, and receiving what Jesus had to tell me very clearly! I am a “cradle Catholic” and did know Jesus before this, but got very off track over the years. The people in my Alpha group were also reborn in the Spirit.
Jesus and Mary saved me too. I'm 35 now and can say that I was born again. Before I was like a little lost child looking for peace, love and meaning in wrong places. Now I'm on a mission to save everyone God puts on my path. Now I can breathe finally.
I thought that it was fantastic as you both explained how you were so in love with the church. Especially when you just couldn't get enough of it! Beautiful 💕
Stories like yours give me hope because I have four adult sons who have fallen away from the faith… They used to be so devout, but I know God pursues us to the end. And I won’t stop praying rosary after rosary for them. Talk about learning what it means to have a sword pierce your heart… I am united with our Blessed Mother.
Yep, when scratching noises kept taunting me away from prayer, i wasnt scared, but called on Mary yo "Please crush the skull of the Devils head" it immediately stopped! And I continued on with thankgiving and prayer. When you speak with seriousness (from a deep heart) it moves Mountains!
Oh, that's amazing. But remember Jesus got you. Go to Jesus always for help and for deliverance. Mary is probably in heaven resting, and worshipping God to the fullest attention. She's not God, she can't hear every prayer from all around the world. She isn't omnipresent. But Jesus is. He is always there with you. Right next to you. Call on his name instead. Come boldly to his throne. He will help you, he won't tell you to leave. So why pray to Mary. Mary is just a human being like me and you. But Jesus is God. His able to do anything at anytime. ♥️
I started crying even before hearing father's story, and I had already heard it from a different video before. I feel so unworthy of God's mercy and Mary's intercession, I feel even worse knowing they love me in spite of all the things I've done
Hi Father. I had a similar experience at at age of 19. I was sleeping in my friend’s Photo Studio alone and I prayed before go to bed and it was dark. Around 12: 00 AM I woke up. Just three feet away from me I saw a host standing in front me with angry face with red eyes staring at me about three minutes or less. I was so scared and I didn’t try to get away from there. Finally it was moving backwards till go through the door but it didn’t have full legs and not touching the floor. Still I was scared to get out of the bed and switch on the lights. Until sunrises I was sleeping with fear. My father is very devoted to Our Lady and we never miss family rosary. At that time I wasn’t a devotee of Her. Later I was somehow learning about Her Incredible love and that Motherly love started comforting me in many ways. One day I was stranded in a city on my journey to home in the evening. I missed the last train. Since there was a civil war it would be very dangerous to spend the night and if I return back to the capital, it might be problem for my government teaching job. So I thought that it’s time for me to pull the rosary from my pocket and start praying. When began to say “ HAIL MARY FULL OF GRACE….” I saw hundred yards away a vehicle belonged to our Bishop’s house parked on the street. Simply I walked to the vehicle and asked for a ride and got home. Why am I writing little long story for a comment because following that through my life her protection is undeniable. I was fear of thinking after death and it was annoying me very much. Finally I got Her favor by finding in church a leaflet describing about “ HEAVEN OPENED BY by the practice of THREE HAIL MARYS “ given by Our Lady to a Saint. This prayer should be recited in the morning and in the evening without skipping. Please search for the origin and spread it out. Thanks. Please contact: The Fatima Center: 17000 State Route 30, Constable, NY 12926 www.Fatima.org Email: info@fatima.org In US : 1 800 -845-3047 Thanks for the time to read my comment and your reaction. If possible I’ll give this prayer in this comment section. Thanks again.
Calling The name of Holy Mary in any difficult situation will alway be the powerful help you need. She comes with holy angels and casts away any demon crushing evil’s head. She protects you and by holding your hand, she brings you to Jesus. We are her “heel” - her soft spot, her children and there is where she is attacked.
When I get what I call evil dreams and I'm so scared they keep waking me up. It's always praying to our mother Mary that takes them away and gives me peace. Recently it happened and this is the prayer I said - The Memorare Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly to thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.
MANY BLESSINGS TO YOU ALL 💜 WALK in FAITH And not by SIGHT. The world is governed by powers and principalities that you do not seem to understand so therefore if you engage in something that you have consciously labeled as good or bad that is what will affect you. Remember you are what you think you are but more importantly you are what God created and your faith will show exactly what side of the spectrum of Good versus Evil you are on. Many blessings to you all and as I walk this path of peace and love I hope it is yours as well.💜💜💜💜.HOLD THY PEACE. 💜💜
I have a personal testimony. About several weeks ago, while I was watching Season 1, Episode 3 of The Chosen (Jesus loves the children). Jesus asked the children if they know how to pray the Shema, the children recited the prayer. One phrase that got me: “To Love God with all of your heart”. Those Words kept repeating in my head that I became overwhelmed with emotion (joyful emotion). I cried and I kept reciting those words “To love God with all of your heart”. It felt as if the Holy Spirit was reaching out to me. I asked God, Jesus Christ and The Blessed Mother to comfort me and fill my heart.Then I began to search for the Blessed Mother Mary, and I asked her to be my Spiritual Mother everytime I pray the Hail Mary. I just cant help myself but become emotional everytime I call out to the Blessed Mother. God knows I am a sinner (sexual sin and lust) and I am very remorseful of my sins. I ask the God to help me fight the temptation of sexual sin.
Thanks GOD, I had experiences too, has been in the most desperate times of my life. I was a teenager and I just started going to the Catholic Church for conviction not tradition. My parents were divorced & being promiscuous (that really hurt me). I really didn't have a home. I was going to college & working both full time. My job was being a cleaning lady for buildings that paid very bad but you work hard. One night I could not take anymore. I was exhaustive in every way & I started crying & praying very hard because I felt so frustrated with my life. I felt sleep and then I felt a hand that went through my body, I was scared and I cover myself with the blankets, I felt sleep again. The next day I felt so relief, happy & in peace; and I knew that no matter what, GOD was going to help with my heavy trials. Since then I know where to go to The Catholic Church=Sacraments=GOD=Our Lady=Our Lord JesusCristo, for help in every way. My life hasn't been easy but HE gave me spiritual help to continue. I had/have dreams that help with my situations. Believe it or not HE always answer! In my case is with my vivid dreams.
God wants us all, Mary saved me also through dreams, and via St Joan of Arc at 17 - I remember the honeymoon period also - great times. Now serious prayer needed just to keep our heads above the noise, thanks so much for sharing.
Love the “serious prayer needed just to keep our heads above the noise’. I thought it was just me. Perhaps this discernment is part of the world wide illumination of conscience! Thank you Jesus that we are becoming clearer as to who we are, where we are going and what you require from us - thank you for Mother Mary.🙏🏻❤️
One night I was sleeping and out of no where I woke up screamed and ran out of the room I didn’t have a dream or anything, I don’t know what it was but I can still feel that moment.
thank you Fr. Donald. You have explained Mariology in simple everyday language. May the mother of God intercede for us and pour in us extraordinary graces to overcome all challenges. Amen
Wow, I would love to be that close to Jesus and Mary. I decided to come back to the Catholic Church, but I'm very much alone and don't have anyone to talk to or keep me going in that direction. But I long for the experience Fr Callaway is talking about.
Dear Jen - I totally feel your loneliness. I’m a convert, older (64), & disabled. I have made no friends in my church. I prayed about it & realized that I was expecting people to come to me…reach out to me. Instead I became an RCIA sponsor, which this is my 3rd catechumen. This year I volunteered to lead a Bible study in my home. It’s not easy. I haven’t really made good friends but I feel more connected, more part of the community. But most of all I feel closer to Jesus. I can tell over time that the Holy Spirit is working in my life. God bless you dear heart. Keep searching, go to Mass & reconciliation, & ask God to lead you. I will say a prayer for you. Much love 🙏❤️
His whole family had converted but esp his mom, and were very devout, in part as a reaction to his shenanigans, while he was in rehab. The whole story is on one of Matt's long episodes
@@suzannephillips6236 I haven't listened to the entire interview yet, but I just listened to another part about the Japanese Mafia where he read a book on Marian Apparitions.
Wow. As a former Protestant who was not taught about much spiritual warfare and demons, this was unbelievable. I had a dream recently in which I think Satan was attacking me. I fell into this pit of darkness, and I could feel an evil, demonic presence around me. I was so terrified I couldn’t think, so I immediately started to scream, “HAIL MARY…” and the rest of the prayer. I heard an agonized scream from the source of the darkness and all the black started to fade into gray. I woke up shaking and prayed Hail Mary’s until I calmed down. A few days before that I dreamt I was in a house full of demons, but I wasn’t scared. I just screamed the names of Jesus and Mary and all the demons had to bow. I felt the power of God. Then I met Satan and kept invoking Jesus and Mary. He couldn’t do a thing because he was bowing, so I stomped on him until his form was mush on the floor (I didn’t kill him, obviously, since only God and truly destroy him).
As a Christian I have always found that telling a devil to leave in Jesus name is very effective. Doesn't matter how strong the devil is or what type it is, they leave.
Girls, drugs, partying, the occult, and so much more I will spare you details. Father's experience and mine are remarkably similar except that I didn't develop a relationship with Mary until after my conversion. Jesus pulled me out of hell and Mary keeps me out. I am now Brother Damien Cafaro, OSB. Been a monk for ten years as of the first of Feb. Thanks be to God.
God bless you 🙏
Welcome home! 💗
You have been so blessed!
Tell me more. Who do you pray to?
Wow, praise God!
Love Fr. Calloway. When my son was on home hospice with brain cancer in 2019, we watched his conversion story on DVD. It moved my son to tears. He had been away from the church for years and he cried out to me, “I need to go to confession”
Nicole Allen . Thankyou fear Nicole for sharing this heart touching story of your son. May GOD abundantly bless you and your family. I hope your son is perfectly alright by the grace if GOD.
Praise God for that! That’s so beautiful!
Beautiful!

@@michelledax4083: Thank you! May God bless you and Our Lady protect you!
I have found that praying the rosary everyday brings great peace in an often chaotic world. At times when my faith is challenged, it can be difficult to sustain prayer. But if I power through the rosary and place my doubts with Mary, she leads me back to Christ. I pray that all will find comfort in the rosary, especially those who are suffering.
Same with me
I really do not like praying the rosary, but have done so anyway over the past 2 years since co-vid began, with “The Fatima Rosary Crusade” on RUclips. I needed to do something and the rosary was there for me. I am changing and Mary, I know is slowly working to bring me to obedience, purity, and holiness.
I'm a Protestant Convert and I can witness firsthand that The Rosary is the *most* *POWERFUL* Prayer I have ever known! It literally has rescued me from anxiety and fear that used to devour my sanity and keep me miserable for most of my life! From the first time I prayed 4 Rosaries my mood changed so dramatically I could hardly believe it❣️
Now I pray even more than 4 a day because the more Rosaries I pray the clearer my mind feels. More focused, calm and joyful. Even my physical energy rises! Not to be messed with The Holy Rosary of our Blessed Mother!
Virgin Most POWERFUL Pray for us 🙏🙏🙏✝️✝️✝️❤️❤️❤️
Decades ago - in Boarding school, we said the Rosary often, however, as an adult, I find it makes no sense at all reciting prayers over & over - again & again - no thought at all about what is being said - they are just words and playing with beads.
So now, I will say The Lord's prayer, one Hail Mary & Glory be to the Father and two short prayers for the souls in Purgatory, BUT slowly & with thought and sincerity. Amen
@@MichaelThompson-jq3zf I find that the repetition of prayers helps to keep me in a meditative state as I contemplate the mysteries of the particular day. Being in that meditative or contemplative state can help me to discern God’s will. At times, I still find it difficult sustain the contemplative state of prayer throughout the repetition, but daily practice is helpful. It sounds like you have found a way to deepen your prayer life and I wish you all the best in your faith journey.
I used to be intimidated by the rosary before my prodigal reversion to the Faith, now I’m cradled in the arms of the Blessed Mother! Praise be Jesus Christ!
I learned to pray the 7 sorrows of Mary last year too. Our Lady listens to us when we ask her to pray for us
Now and For Ever!
The Rosary didn't mean anything to paul ,peter and any of the diciples or apostles in the first century. Why ? Because is rubbish and pagan practice of the late Roman church.
Yeshua and Mary will never allow this type of worship.
@@DarkAngel-cj6sx Where do you get the teaching that Mary can do anything for you?
@@bobloblawb2593 Mary is our mother and she prays for us. If you don't know that it is time for you to learn and you don't agree it is OK.
I didn't say she can do anything for us.
She prays for us. Happy palm Sunday if you are a Christian
This priest comes across as so genuine. I wish there were more men like him
Yes he really is!!!
The spiritual War is very real it shouldn't be hidden under the carpet it must be said just as this man has. Only true testimony will save others 🙏
He comes across as a narcissist seeking attention.
Yes, you.
There is! Truly funny when you think about it all you have to do is put him in your life is so simple but it’s gonna be so hard and it was
I’m sobbing. I love Mary so much. I’ve heard Father Calloway’s story, but wow, this was beautiful. I had a dream a couple weeks ago about the devil dragging me away, but then I screamed MARY and the devil left me alone. Mary kept me safe. Never feel afraid to pray to Hail or ask for her help…she’ll lead you to JESUS.
Amen 🙏🏼 I had a dream once that I was at a grocery store and there was a mass shooting. It was a terrifying dream and I had nowhere to hide and protect myself. I see the shooter headed right toward me and realized I was holding a rosary in my hand. The moment I said the words, ‘hail mary’, the shooter ran right past me as if I wasn’t even there and I woke up, my dream was over. At the name of Mary, demons scatter.
She will indeed lead us to her Son 😇 we need her in our lives.
ruclips.net/video/kJLi1sRXNx4/видео.htmlsi=XRlPnOFqhwIj1WC3
Her feminine love as a male makes me so emotional. I cannot not cry when I communicate with her. She delivers love to me every single time I can count on her
Mary can only intercede for you she can’t save you call upon Jesus
Revert here. I heard an audible voice in front of the Eucharist, He said "Accept My mercy" after a genuine confession
Beautiful!!
Thank you for telling us this experience. We all need to accept his mercy daily. Thank you JESUS. ❤️
@Thomas Breen I believe It absolutely was St Bernadette. Do you mind me asking what she said?
@Thomas Breen I guess that was all you needed.🤗
Thank you, I will accept his mercy 💓
I’m Orthodox. I had the same exact experience that Father mentions around 1:20. And the most amazing thing about it, and how I know it was genuine and real, is that I was not at all expecting it. It was during my first confession after having been out of the church for so many years. And believe me, I did it all. I did it ALL. But He took it all away in an instant. He forgave me and now I belong to Him.
Father’s example around 2:07 also happened to me, but this was before my conversion. It was actually the catalyst that led me on the road to seek Christ and His Kingdom. I, too did not believe in the devil of personified evil. Not until I was lifted out of my bed (I was not asleep, I was wide awake) and choked by a tall, pitch black figure that I just knew was a demon. It spoke to me through my head, almost telepathically, and told that I would not be let go until I called it “master”. I was absolutely terrified. This, I know, that God allowed to happen to me and others so that we seek Him. He allows the devil and his cowardly minions to attack us because sometimes it is literally the only thing that will cause us to wake up.
Of course, I’m still a wretch and a sinner, no doubt the worst of offenders. But I seek His forgiveness and the love of the Most Holy Theotokos and Ever Virgin Mary. Glory to Jesus Christ! ☦️🙏
We are all sinners arent we?
But i know deep in my being, that I am loved by the most sacred heart of Jesus, and Mother Mary is always there to lead me to the Lord and hold me when i falter.
🙏🏻☦️ also
Demons don’t want us to get out of their grasp and that is why we have those experiences when we are coming back to the Light and Love that is Jesus, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. It does indeed serve the purpose of waking us up and brings us closer to Him.
Whenever I’m in a good path I know stuff will happen to keep me away from it and those things confirm to me I’m progressing the right way.
Oh its incredible, I think this priest have to pray more The Holy Rosay and strong fasting... We have to pray more, these attacks are horrible
Praying for you to come to the Roman Catholicism, brother. And I say that with all my love and respect for you and for the Orthodox church. Love you in Christ, God bless you.
This is so similar to my story!!!
I’ve been having horrific nightmares for a year or so and I finally spoke to my Priest about them the other week - he did deliverance prayers over me and told me if they are demonic it can either settle them completely or settle them for a while and then they come back possibly with vengeance and we will have to do deliverance prayers again (they have started again).
In my nightmares I never get to see what is attacking but the attacks are horrific.
Sometimes in my nightmare I’m thrown around my room, others it’s grabbing me and digging it’s nails in deep into my skin trying to push me off my bed.
The nightmares are so real that I wake terrified thinking I actually experienced that thing.
In my nightmares I would be crying out for Jesus and also trying to shout out the St Michaels prayer but I could only get out a few words before my words jumbled and I couldn’t stop the attacks until I eventually managed to wake myself up.
However after meeting my Priest, getting deliverance prayers and blessed with oils everything changed. That night I had another attack/nightmare but this time I just knew to shout out for Mary and I said “Mother Mary help” a now my Priest didn’t tell me to call on Mary BUT he did send me away with a blessed green scapular that day.
After I said “Mother Mary help” the thing that attacks me said “why would you do a stupid thing like that” then the attack ended!
People need to turn to our Mother because her power is so great!
I will hand on heart tell everyone that a year ago also that it was the Rosary that healed my son! He was in the grips of an eating disorder, doctors wouldn’t help us despite his heart being affected and having abnormal blood works so I turned to Our Lady praying the rosary asking if it is Gods will that my son be healed from the grips of his eating disorder. After praying the rosary nightly for weeks/few months my son woke up one day saying he was going to eat and not let it win!
I bless myself with holy water before I go to sleep. That has helped me.
Also, put St. Benedict medals above your front door and back door, plus wear one on your scapula. I haven’t had a dream like that in years. This along with saying the rosary.
I’ve had these exact dreams for YEARS and it’s terrifying! A few months back I started meeting with a priest who pinpointed the sin in my life that was letting the devil in. Repenting along with daily mass has mostly ended it. I also say the rosary almost daily. And I’ve heard that when you’re receiving the Eucharist daily there’s no room for Satan to get in. Thank you for sharing! Makes me feel less “weird”...
Praise God!!
I had a similar, terrifying dream a few years ago. In the nightmare, the demon was crushing and paralyzing me but I managed to scream, "Help me, Jesus!!" The demon fled, the attack was over, and I woke up. I rolled over in bed and instantly saw a luminous white orb of light hovering in the air a few feet beyond the foot of the bed. I made me feel calm and at peace, even though my heart was pounding like crazy when I awoke. It gradually faded away, and within 10 seconds, I was fast asleep as if I had taken a tranquilizer. What a night! I'll never forget it. Thank you for your testimony.
I had frequent sleep paralysis episodes throughout my childhood and college years. It was progressive, lasting several more minutes each time and it was terrifying. Once as a young working mom I was exhausted and could feel an episode coming on. This one was different… I couldn’t see or hear, everything was pitch black and I felt like I was falling through the darkness of space. I couldn’t breathe this time and was becoming flaccid, possibly dying. A woman in bright white and blue appeared to me in the emptiness and said “Say, My Jesus I Trust in You.” I said it, and Christ appeared in flowing white and red robes with his exposed heart on fire, holding his hand out to me. I took it and immediately awakened. That was my very last paralysis episode, I’m now almost 60. This sounds not too bizarre except for this part: I was not raised as a Catholic, I was Baptist. I was later looking through a Catholic catalog and saw it… that image of HIM, The Divine Mercy. Not being raised Catholic I had not seen or heard of The Divine Mercy before. I became a Catholic. Then a Catechist, then Eucharistic Minister, then Lector, then Women’s Community Service Guild officer then Pastoral Council member. My Jesus, I Trust In You. Thanks be to God❤️🔥
I'd bet it was around 3am... Get the Rosary out and pray... The veil is lifted somewhat at that time between heaven and earth
God exist, Jesus exist, the holy Spirit exist, Virgin Mary leads us to God. Amen
ONLY Priests are Ministers of the Eucharist!!! Extraordinary ministers of Communion are those that can give the Consacrated Hosts in case of emergency. Unfortunately, that ministry is being misused!!!
Wow! What a testimony! Praise God!
This happened to me when I was pregnant with my son and I didn’t know it yet. A dark figure was trying to pull me at my womb while I was sleeping at night. I called out to Jesus and the blessed mother. And they saved me. Fast forward to my son’s delivery. I had the worst experience with the worst doctor, and ended up getting a c-section. Recovery was horrible. I was traumatized. Ended up with postpartum depression for 6 months. My son is 1 now and he is the happiest baby ever. He is so joyful, and precious, and easy-going. My first pregnancy the devil attacked my husband when we had a girl. My second pregnancy the devil attacked me when we had a boy. The first time it brought me to discover the theology of the body. And now I’m re-discovering it again. The devil definitely hates mothers but he fears the blessed mother because she is immaculate. I am so blessed to have Jesus and mother Mary on my side while I care and nurture my children.
Mary can intercede for you but cant save you from any demon
that reminds me of how Our Lady of Guadalupe called St. Juan Diego "Juanito" "Juan Dieguito". How tender and affectionate and loving our Mother is!
I experienced the same thing! It was black with horns, I started praying the Hail Mary three times and it vanished. It’s terrifying!
for me more satanic presence
If it happens again, tell him he's worth nothing and God has ALL power over him.
You had the opportunity to take out your phone, record the event and prove to the world that Satan is real and you blew it because you were scared.
Oh my, thier is no power in the name of Mary, she is not pure she was a human like us,
You Catholics are so decieved,
JESUS IS GOD, NOT MARY SHE IS NOT OMNIPRESENT OMNISCIENT.
SHE IS NOT GOD, SHE IS AN IDOL, TO
YOU PEOPLE & you all GIVE MORE POWER TO MARY THAN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. Where in the bible does it say all power goes to Mary it doesn't.
The bible says all power goes to GOD THE FATHER, & THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, THE HOLY SPIRIT The 1st commandment. Says have noother God or Gods before me. No other name should be above my name. This is idol worship, The Name of Jesus is above any other name.
Mary was ONLY a chosen vessel to bring the Christ to the World. In Matthew. She at his crucifixion she to him. My LORD & My God, Mary needed a Saviour herself so that does not make her a God to worship her.
@@risingahead2024 She is honoured by a faith community. When Jesus was dying on the cross he said to one of His disciples "Here is your Mother." Therefore Mary is OUR Mother . It's not about "idols."
"I was at church before the filipinos" HAH that made me laugh so hard!
But in all seriousness I love this clip.
I think it was Fr. Pine who said before that sometimes God would allow us to have encounters with the evil one(s) so that we can become closer to God. Sometimes it takes a drastic experience for us to become closer to God.
Natawa din ako, indeed😊kakaproud, Filipinos are always early in the church to pray the rosary.
True. happened to me and made me crave Jesus in the Holy Eucharist, confession and Mass so strongly. Drew me closer to Jesus and was the most amazing experience ever despite the pains I went through. God bless you
The Filipinos at our Church are very devout. Good for them.
So I heard from Father Calloway that when he went in the church with Filipino women praying 🙏 rosary 📿 he was asked to pray a decade and literally went into his mind that he will have to pray that so many years to commune with Mary. As Filipina I love saying my 📿 in front of the altar in the church and to spend time in adoration.
Filipino here. And i was shocked hearing it from fr. Donald.
A serious offender yet always seeks our Lord in the Eucharist. Ave Maria! ❤️ Thank You, Lord Jesus!
The Story of People's Conversions is inspiring, finding their way in Christ when they've been in the darkness for so long. It's inspiring and it just moves me. Someday, I'd love to share my story, cuz even though I was raised Catholic, it's only just recently that I've chosen to stay Catholic and get more into it. Keep Praying the Rosary my brothers and sisters, and God Bless You All and have a Happy Lenten Season!
The Rosary is the mightiest prayer weapon I have ever found. 4 full mysteries are my daily diet for mental sanity, hope and Joy. From a Protestant Convert ❣️✝️🙏
@@MagdalenaIsaiah431 Amen and Blessings to you and your family!
Brother, never be afraid to share your testimony, as it is the key that unlocks the door to someones prison cell, if you feel you don't want to commit it to a social media platform, the Holy Spirit will guide you to share it with whom He chooses, before my Redemption from drugs, alcohol, demonic sinful living, I would here the testimonies of others, so when I found myself at the gates of hell, I knew I had to surrender every part of me to Jesus, no coercion, I wanted Him to have every fibre of self, it was text book St Paul conversion, on fire and saved by Jesus Christ Son of the ever Living God, may he continue to shine his countenance upon you every day of your life 💜✝️

@@mary-claremoore3103 For me, I was living a life of sin and didn't care because of all that happened to me, until my grandma turned 60 and made me realize my own mortality, It was like waking up from a nightmare, the devil kept tormenting my mind for days, until I finally got down and started to pray, and it was like a feeling of silence had swept through my mind, and that's when I knew, it was time for me to let God back into my life. I'd like to say more, but maybe one day, I'll share the whole story.
The devil pestered me to despair, telling me day & night that my sins are so big that it cannot be forgiven even after confession. I told a priest my situation so he prayed & blessed me & told me to pray the rosary when I get home. After I prayed the whole rosary I felt the gray darkness disappear and I felt so light. I love Mother Mary. She gave me victory. I now pray the holy rosary daily. Sometimes twice a day, so in love. The presence of Jesus in the rosary is so strong & I see His life in each Hail Mary.
I have been Catholic my whole life, but I need to fall in love with Jesus
Yes, you do!
Pray the rosary. 5 decades a day for a week. Then, see if there are any improvements. Mary will be the one responsible. I love my rosary because it makes me better... I love Mary for the same reason...
You don’t need Mary you need Jesus. Mary needed the same savior as everyone else needed.

Our Blessed Mother answered a prayer for my grandmother, one day in Advent on a Saturday evening. I was hungry and really looking foreward to a burger I had bought. I said grace and felt oddly called to pray for grandmother who passed away in 2015 to Our Blessed Mother. I remember asking Our Mother Mary to pray for my grandmother who was always dedicated to her in life. She would always say `A Son can never refuse His Mother.`
I remember feeling a presence to my side and slightly behind me. I did not see anything but I somehow knew it was a woman in a covering like Our Blessed Mother is depicted in so often. And I remember knowing that there were twelve stars around Her head and I realized it stood for the Twelve Tribes of Israel and it was a crown. That was how I knew it was Our Blesses Mother.
I felt her tell me to put down my food and fast until after Mass the next day, to offer it up for my grandmother and pray a Chaplet of Divine Mercy. Then her presence was gone.
I remember feeling very tempted to eat the food, but being reminded I was essentially choosing a burger over my grandmother resting in peace set that straight after I am ashamed to say a bit of struggle. But I did as instructed and I did not feel the need to pray for my grandmother since then, though I do anyway just to be certain, God will not waste it, I know.
That Advent also was my best Advent ever and I grew by leaps and bounds in repentence and conviction for my many...many sins.
Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us. Amen.
Beautiful testimony that will help many - as it did me. Thank you for sharing. You were open to hear. Praise God.✝️
Amen
I love how Filipinos are involved in Fr. Donald’s story. 😊
They helped him in the beginning. He knows they're prayer warriors.
Filipina here.❤ We just love our dear Mama Mary, the mother of our savior.❤️ Thank you Jesus for giving us your mother too.
Wow...I'm just overwhelmed by the power of God and His mercy. He is alive! May He be praised and glorified forevermore. Thank you Fr. Donny for sharing how powerful our Blessed Mother has been in your life.
Wow. I don't which is better, this video or the comments.
Love Fr. Calliway.
Mother Mary, keep us under your mantle!
I had just made a very good confession and that night I had a “nightmare” and I was being tortured by demons telling me that Jesus did NOT love me. This horror ended when I woke up loudly saying “Jesus does LOVE me!” As soon as I woke up I fell back in bed and peacefully fell right back to sleep feeling like the chains around my heart were finally broken.
That big horrible confessed sin that I had spent years and years trying to defeat became a thing of the past I not been tempted to go back to it again.
Thank you for sharing this interview. I love Fr. Calloway. He helped me to see the power of praying the rosary on a regular basis. When I started about a year and a half ago I too was attacked by something I feel was demonic. I was laying in bed one morning not ready to get up but thinking in my head “thank you Lord for all of my blessings and doing your will today,” when all of a sudden something felt like it jumped on top of me and started choking me. I couldn’t move of say anything and I had a hard time breathing. The only I thought would save me was to start praying. First the Our Father then the Hail Mother. Before I finished praying the Hail Mary what ever was on top of me instantly left. It’s weird, I wasn’t really scared because it confirmed for me I’m on the right track to God if the evil one try to get at me.
I experienced the same thing when I was 20 , as I decided to teach Sunday school, in my sleep the devil came sat on me and chocked me I couldn't breath he said " Sunday school yeah, Sunday school " it was terrifying
@Anne M of course! God Bless you and your family!
I too have a similar story of the devil appearing to me in the flesh. Petrifying is the only word to describe it. God bless you Matt and Fr. Calloway. May you always be protected under the mantle of Our Blessed Mother.
I have experienced something similar to what Father Calloway experienced as well. It occurred during sleep but I was awoken in an almost sleep paralysis state. These attacks happened multiple times until finally, they stopped happening. It was very loud, evil, and oppressive. There was nothing I could do except call out to Jesus and rebuke what was spiritually attacking me in the name of Jesus. This occurred while I was a Protestant and not yet Catholic. I also had an invalid baptism at the time. Thanks be to God He saved me every time. He sheltered me under His wings.
Amen , enjoy the grace of our Lord!
I was attacked by serpent and was above my head I couldnt sleep, I don't know what to do and I know I lost my control on my self, next day morning while I was sitting on my bed, all on a sudden Mother Mary appeared on my face I called her Amme(mommy in my native language), the moment Mother Mary come out with her face on my face the serpent pulled down from my head. Next day when I prostrated before the Holy Family picture all the snakes hiding into my body jumped out through my toes and fingers. It was frightening. Slowly I improved back to my continuous rosary. It took a while to come back. Now when I look back it was a terrifying experience and the final victory was of our Holy Mother Mary. Yes, pride is crushed by Humility.
Thank you for sharing your testimony Thomas! You referring to her as “mommy” shows faith and love of her and her son Jesus. One little word and she is there! Beautiful!
@@chomperthefirst533 Thank you.
I had the same experience and it also attacked my family and the demonic wanted to poses our souls because we were turning back to our catholic faith, the nightmare went on 3 years the first year was horrendous, but once we received the sacraments we grew strong in faith, and our lady visited with st Micheal, and spoke words of encouragement, our lives have turned around 360 degrees, the rosary the bible etc etc, we just can’t get enough, we’ve never been so happy ever.
God bless 🙏
I hope they didn't turn around 360°, otherwise you'd be back where you started! It's 180°.
Doetsch@ in a sense l did l turned my life around and faced my demons
I put on the armour of light and I fought back l didn’t hide or run away from them they followed me everywhere
I love hearing testimony of conversions, my heart becomes so full!
Yes. Conversions are the order of the day. Normally, one converts little by little, over time. But sometimes God gives a great grace that transforms a great sinner into a great saint overnight. Grace is more powerful than sin: ruclips.net/video/6l3Pp-BPoWA/видео.html
Listening to the explanation of Fr. Calloway’s experience with Christ is really similar to my own experience. The feeling is overwhelming, yet filled with true love and it is so profound! When I had “demonic attacks”, I always tried my hardest in my sleep to punch whoever/whatever was attacking me and yell, “NO!” in a defiant matter.
Fyi, dreams and nightmares are part of your imagination not part of reality.
@@downenout8705 I kindly disagree, there are powers and principalities.
@@KeyboardSourceError Look, all you need to do to show the world the truth of your "demonic attacks", is have your smartphone ready to record the event. Even better have a pig (or another more convenient pet) to hand; perform a Matthew 7 : 7 ritual asking Jesus to cast the demon into your pet. Your demon possessed pet could then be subject to scientific scrutiny.
Until then I suggest you do a little research into nuero science, it might just help you to learn how to differentiate between what is real and what is imagined.
Are you seriously telling the world that your 1 Peter 3: 15 reason for believing in the truth of 1 Corinthians 15: 14, is a nightmare?
Did that rant make you feel good? Better scripture for this kind of rant, is the one with the mill stone around the neck. Please be careful. Don’t underestimate how God calls another out of the darkness.
@@dd-yz5zz I'm an atheist, I no more fear what your bronze age mythology baby killer deity can "call out of darkness", than I do of being eaten by a fire breathing dragon.

May God hear your prayers. Please pray for my family.
This story is AWESOME! Love Fr. Calloway. After retiring a couple of years ago, I was under heavy attack from the evil one. He said horrible things to me 24/7. Finally I’d had enough. I went to the beach and cried out to the Holy Spirit, what do I do to stop this, my life is being ruined. Immediately I received a beloved answer from Holy Spirit, “use the same words Jesus used, GET THEE BEHIND ME SATAN.” Then I was flooded with the best peace I’d known for a long time. I began using the sacred words each time an attack happened and guess what, it worked. Shortly after my cousin invited me to join her Rosary Prayer group and now I live in better peace than I deserve. Praying the Rosary everyday has made the peace last. We are so blessed by Jesus, the Holy Spirit, our Mother Mary, and God. Life is much better as I’ve recently returned to mass as well. I learned too, that when a demon shows up, through the power of the Trinity we can caste them out with His words and get this, demons have to listen to us because we belong to Christ. Blessings to you all!
Super testimony! Love it! And I can testify from personal experience that The Rosary does make the *PEACE* *last* Most POWERFUL Prayer I have ever experienced ❣️

Wonderful video, thank you for everything you do!!!!! Being baptised catholic as a baby was the greatest gift EVER!!!! And what a joy to only now be learning really and truly about our beautiful faith! I'm 37. Thanks to both of you 🙏and to Jesus and Mary ❤️
When I was younger I had several dreams where the devil appeared. It was usually a black silhouette. I would shout, "My soul belongs to Jesus!" over and over again. The evil would go away. Love Father Calloway. Watch his video about the rosary!
Fr.Galloway is just my favorite. His experiences and his book Champions of the Rosary refilled my cup of faith.
This Priest is a trip. And I believe every word he's saying.
This priest needs to repent and turn to Jesus Christ for salvation
@@joshuanun5317 You need to stop repeating your nonsense.
@@joshuanun5317 Dude what? Mary brought him to Jesus lol how can you get upset about that? She did the same for me
@@joecardone4887 A false Jesus. You dont get to Jesus through someone else. What is so hard to understand about " I am the way, the truth, and the life, no one comes to the Father except by me"?
Where is Mary in this passage?
@@Romans8-9 R e a d i n g C o m p r e h e n s i o n
The verse says “No one comes to the Father except through me.” Nothing mentioned about “Nobody will come to know me except through me.” Surely someone first invited you to have a relationship with God, right? Maybe your parents raised you Christian or maybe a friend told you about Him or maybe it was a stranger during a hard time in life? For me it was all of those situations at different points in life. Implying God can’t use people to point others towards him is kinda ridiculous
I had a dream about Our Lady: in it, I was suffering a great deal and I was telling her about my problems and she was consoling me. I remember feeling this complete union she had with God, I can't even describe it. I don't remember if she said anything to me, but I don't think it mattered; her presence and her ear was enough for my consolation. I do remember seeing demons in the background hiding, as if they were waiting for her to leave. And I told her about them too, pointing them out to her. Then she blesses me in the sign of the cross with the start of the holy rosary (the part with the cross before the decades). I don't know why it was just that part of the rosary, but that's what I had seen. And while she was blessing me is when I truly felt her complete union with God; Like I knew in my heart no other creature was like her, and I was strengthened after that. It was a pretty cool dream. Though I didn't understand it at first because she appeared to me as my aunt when she was younger. I thought maybe that dream was meant for my aunt; that she was going to become something for God. But then I started realizing later on it was Mary herself and the dream was for me. I still don't understand why Mary would appear as her though.
God be ever loved praised and adored for all the wonders He does for us. Thank you Fr. Calloway for sharing and deepening our faith, especially in these troubled times.
Love you Father Don!!! Thank you for being such an amazing priest!!!
Because of you, I have Consecrated myself to Joseph.
Inspiring story, made my heart warm. Also, I had an addiction to porn couldn’t stop it and it controlled me. I asked for help from Mary and immediately it cured the addiction, whenever I now get tempted I feel and remember the grace given to me and that love fights off that evil. Thank you Jesus and thanks for the podcast for helping me remember that wonderful moment of when God helped me.

This sounds similar to my own experience. I dealt with sleep paralysis with demonic harassment for years and years never knowing how to overcome it. After returning to the Church after a 20 year hiatus of agnosticism and materialism I was cured after praying out to Jesus and Mary during the attacks. One time while praying out during an attack a benevolent spirit of immense power appeared before me and drew into my body with so much force that it made my body jolt up. The numerous demons who were in my room at that moment were literally terrorized with fear and I saw them running away. Another time the same female demon who would regularly attack me during sleep paralysis turned to ashes just from me looking her face to face while praying the Hail Mary. I was previously never able to make face to face contact with this particular demon on my own accord, only with the help of Mary. I also am fairly certain in saw Satan or at least a high ranking demon who appeared before me face to face. He was hovering above me while in my bed. He had wings, which was unique among the numerous demons I dealt with. His presence was malevolent however he wasn't trying to disturb me or strike terror in me as all the other demons would do, he was only looking me over and inspecting me as if to try and make sense of who or what I was. Fast forward a couple years now and no demons have reappeared since, thanks be to God. Instead I had subsequently been greeted by an angel praying beside my bed. I wouldn't want to be so confident as to say that I'm cured per se, although I do feel my soul has been cleansed at the deepest levels that I have access to. But I intuit that I'm well protected by the sacraments.
Beautiful testimony ❣️ Very inspiring.🙌🙌🙌
Amazing. I too suffer from sleep paralysis and calling out to Jesus and praying the our father do it for me. I never have an episode of terror during sleep if I have prayed the rosary. Going to latin mass has helped so much as well and confession. Thanks be to God.
Magdalena Isaiah43 Thank you Magdalena.
@@katherineroe9137 I too find The Rosary puts the demons to flight and I usually drift off to sleep while saying one. I suffered insomnia and nightmares my whole life till I met JESUS and even after that something or some beings would still show up trying to frighten me in the night. Now all I have to do is pick up the holy beads and I know the enemy will flee without a doubt💪
It's such a profound relief to know I don't have to live in dread of satanic attacks in the dark since I know which "911" to summon to come toss out the nocturnal spiritual criminals👊👊👊
Virgin Most POWERFUL Pray for us 🙏✝️💖💖💖
@@MagdalenaIsaiah431 yes absolutely! What a weapon it is. A holy missile!
I went through something like this. For me, it was the Blessed Mother. I was cleansed, the mercy was incredible. I've never cried like that.
I feel like I've been under some sort of attack ever since I stopped anti-depressants. On one hand, this made me less dull/passive and brought me awareness of a sin of sloth, but at the same time I keep getting anxiety about whether I have enough courage and stamina to face the world. Obviously I have no choice, but to do that, but the fear keeps popping up, and it paralyzes me. Prayer brings relief, but I'm starting a new job soon, and I can't be in this state.
What are you scared of do you have social anxiety or something
Have you heard of Fr Dolindo Ruotolo’s Surrender Novena?
Hi I suffer from depression too and sin of sloth. I refused to take prescriptions but after an intense PMS in which I was rendered immobile for a whole week and even took a day off work, I went straight to Sprouts and got nutritional pills. It helped a lot. It’s called “Sunny Mood” from Irwin Naturals. I will try out something for ADD too.
Ideally I would begin with week-long fasting - juice fast, or even 3-week full body detox (raw vegan + herbal pills targeting all systems).. this surely resets the body’s hormonal conditions at least and clears up the mind.
BTS is part of my healing journey 😂😂
Music can be effective LTR (words affect your templates, check the music you habitually listen to, and remove anything that is abusive) + hypnosis…
If you feel alone try listening to BTS, the fans are great too, many of us suffered from depression and anxiety and their music helped us… 😆
“Zero O’Clock” is like a friend in a song 😭💜
“Answer: Love Myself” motivated me to really act in order to heal myself.
“Idol” is healthy for anyone struggling with self-esteem and relationship abuse. Sing and dance it if facing psych warfare, or if you need to heal from any narc in your life
Did you just abruptly stop taking your medication? This could cause the anxiety you feel.
If you can pray, ask for the intercession of St Faustina. Jesus asked her to give her anxieties (and sins) to Him. This has helped me too.
Peace be with you and every success in your new job. Remember God has a plan for your life
I can’t tell you how many times I watched this interview. Genuinely enjoyed it! Father’s book on the history and champions of the rosary is great!
When I was 8 years old i was suffering a lot..from abuse and abandonment...I had a massive breakdown one day and curled up on the kitchen floor and started shaking and crying. This lasted a few hours. While this was happening i was sort of...in this...world....where I looked left and I saw the gates of hell and just behind the gates was the man who had abused me....and to the right i saw heaven and behind those gates was my grandfather....I feel the influence of both of them was fighting for my....being...my peace of mind...after a while i sat up...cried for a while longer then told my grandmother what I had seen. i asked her not to tell anyone because i was worried I would be put in a mental hospital again..which is where i had been put because of the abuse because CPS had told my mother either I had to go or my abuser did and she chose him. Soon after this....incident...I began going to church...I got saved...started reading and learning the bible..and grew much happier. Now i still suffer from ptsd..get angered w hen conflict and things like shouting matches start and such..but I am better now than I was...much better...
Stay blessed 💕🙏💕

This priest is brilliant!!! What a fun fabulous person!!!
I’ve always loved Fr Don’s witness ! Such an amazing journey that continues to bare long lasting beautiful fruit ! 🌹☘️🙏
Awesome Conversion to Jesus testimony! Awesome power of the most Blessed ever-Virgin Mother Mary testimony! Awesome Conversion to the Catholic Faith and Church testimony! Awesome testimony of the holy work of GOD in your life, Father Callahan!
I JUST REMEMBERED SOMETHING.....I had a dream last week, "something bad" was trying to change my mind, to make me deny something I loved...I said "NO, go away!"...then, like a shield Our Lady appeared blocking whatever it was and it went away....I immediately felt safe, at peace....I spoke out, saying "Thank you Blessed Mother, thank you Blessed Mother, thank you"...I fell asleep feeling like a baby warm and snug in it's mother's arms. 😇
Thing held me down, as I tried to get up to confront it standing, I grabbed my Miraculous Medal around my neck and it tried to go down my throat to stop me from saying the "..the Lord.." is with thee; mocked me as I struggled to continue saying Hail Marys, I still clutching my Miraculous Medal. It must of gone on all night because I woke up in the moring saying the Hail Mary's out loud. Took me several days to get the coat off the inside of my mouth. This has never happened and I can only guess it thought I only wore Our Mother for show. I am in awe that Our Mother Mary gave me courage to fight and in the end saved me. I have been saying the rosary in gratitude since then.
It's just amazing love of our heavenly mother... 🙏
I love to see how God can change anyone!!! His love is so powerful!
I had vowed to God to go to the Holy Land and become a nun for 10 years. 6 years ago I finally fulfilled the first part of my vow by going to the Holy Land. While I was at Nazareth, during Mass, I was allowed to see the Blessed Virgin smiling so happily and glowing. She said “Look how happy I am! You have overcome many obstacles to get here. We are pleased. We bless you.” Two days later I was in Jerusalem. Upon opening my hotel room my parents and I smelt a beautiful fragrance of roses that came of nowhere. To this day they still don’t know that that perfume was Mother confirming her happiness. (The second time I smelt roses was venerating Saint Agnes’ relic 5 years ago and she granted me a miracle). I also was allowed to see her picking prayers in the form of roses when I was 4 or 5 years old. I’m 24 now. I had never felt such motherly love, I felt that she was truly my mother and loved me with such maternal care. In November I heard her say “All will be well” concerning my vocation.
Nice to see you Fr Calloway
I meet him in a conference he’s so funny and I love his conversion story
God bless you ✨
You are both so amazing!! Thank you for sharing your stories, the world is so blessed to have you both guiding and caring about our souls! Viva Cristo Rey!
Hey, how cool is Mary, she is THE MOST loving of all mums. Falling in love with Jesus is the most awesome thing that could ever happen to someone. Sin is bad!! BUT! When you actually realise that Jesus and Mary are ALWAYS there for you and are eagerly waiting to help you straighten out your life… WOW!! Life is never the same again, it is just one great happy longing to be with Jesus… and the most deep desire to bring souls to Jesus, so they can feel His amazing love and peace too.
I get why satin is so upset and trying to destroy humanity… he knows what he had and can never have again. NOW THAT IS TERRIFYING!! Jesus and Mary please save souls. And everyone, please PRAY PRAY PRAY the Rosary!! Mary, through God’s Grace will definitely work wonders throughout your life… You will experience the most incredible love for humanity and you will deeply want to bring souls to Mary to give to Jesus. After Consecrating my life to Mary ( which I never thought I would do) my whole life completely changed. If only people would at least try to pray the Rosary, oh what an incredible world we would have.
Take care and know many people are praying for you both daily. Love and prayers from Australia 🇦🇺 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
So happy to see this interview. I've seen this priest in a video about Mary years ago in a talked that he gave and I've been searching and hoping to see him again. So what a pleasant surprise to see him again. He's a cool cat! He's a bright light for the chruch.
Thank you Fr. Calloway for sharing your story. Our oldest son was in pretty much the same situation you were. Mercifully he had a turn around and is now a devoted father and husband. He will be 44 this year and I still pray that he will come fully to our Catholic faith.
Powerful! Particularly the last 5 min! I’m a parent of a teen-going through what you guys went through! I have taken to fighting spiritually for the last 6 months.
The battle belongs to God! Mary will be his protector!
Wow! What a great witness to the Mother of Jesus!
Father, you also cracked me up with your 2 Filipino jokes as part of your story: When you said, "I was in church on mornings before the Filipinos, and for a white boy..." and the pretty Filipino girl who would make a good wife but became a nun. Haha! Thanks, Father. You're definitely a Filipino at heart. And you're definitely near and dear to the Queen of Heaven and Earth.
This is emotional, esp for the commentator, remembering his own conversion. God bless and keep you men of God!!
It made me smile when father mentioned the "balut" haha. I am a Filipino and i really love it. So nice to hear stories like this very inspiring 😊
Just Love this interview with Father Calloway! Been reading his books!
Can’t get enough of his Beautiful messages about Our Blessed Mother!
God Bless you for providing this interview!
Just Great! VIVA CRISTO REY!!!
I thought the video was amazing! This could help us all but especially those with addictions. Jesus loves us ALL equally. I remember a similar experience after being born again with a commitment prayer in front of others. (Alpha) I have not been the same since. That was 20 years ago. For the first 3 years I just kept walking around saying spontaneously from my centre: “thank you Jesus, thank you Jesus, thank you Jesus….” I just felt him. I knew that I was NEVER alone. I began studying the Bible daily, and receiving what Jesus had to tell me very clearly! I am a “cradle Catholic” and did know Jesus before this, but got very off track over the years. The people in my Alpha group were also reborn in the Spirit.
Jesus and Mary saved me too. I'm 35 now and can say that I was born again. Before I was like a little lost child looking for peace, love and meaning in wrong places. Now I'm on a mission to save everyone God puts on my path. Now I can breathe finally.
I thought that it was fantastic as you both explained how you were so in love with the church. Especially when you just couldn't get enough of it! Beautiful 💕
Stories like yours give me hope because I have four adult sons who have fallen away from the faith… They used to be so devout, but I know God pursues us to the end. And I won’t stop praying rosary after rosary for them. Talk about learning what it means to have a sword pierce your heart… I am united with our Blessed Mother.
Yep, when scratching noises kept taunting me away from prayer, i wasnt scared, but called on Mary yo "Please crush the skull of the Devils head" it immediately stopped! And I continued on with thankgiving and prayer.
When you speak with seriousness (from a deep heart) it moves Mountains!
Oh, that's amazing. But remember Jesus got you. Go to Jesus always for help and for deliverance. Mary is probably in heaven resting, and worshipping God to the fullest attention. She's not God, she can't hear every prayer from all around the world. She isn't omnipresent. But Jesus is. He is always there with you. Right next to you. Call on his name instead. Come boldly to his throne. He will help you, he won't tell you to leave. So why pray to Mary. Mary is just a human being like me and you. But Jesus is God. His able to do anything at anytime. ♥️
I started crying even before hearing father's story, and I had already heard it from a different video before. I feel so unworthy of God's mercy and Mary's intercession, I feel even worse knowing they love me in spite of all the things I've done
Such a great story! The 12 steps of recovery helped me rediscover and return to my Catholic Faith!♥️💛💙🙏✝️
Jesus saved me from Satanic attacks..Thank you Jesus for coming into my life and opening my eyes to the truth!!
I had the same thing happen to me with Satan coming to my room. I told him “Satan begone” and he left. My body shook after.
Hi Father. I had a similar experience at at age of 19. I was sleeping in my friend’s Photo Studio alone and I prayed before go to bed and it was dark. Around 12: 00 AM I woke up. Just three feet away from me I saw a host standing in front me with angry face with red eyes staring at me about three minutes or less. I was so scared and I didn’t try to get away from there. Finally it was moving backwards till go through the door but it didn’t have full legs and not touching the floor. Still I was scared to get out of the bed and switch on the lights. Until sunrises I was sleeping with fear.
My father is very devoted to Our Lady and we never miss family rosary. At that time I wasn’t a devotee of Her. Later I was somehow learning about Her Incredible love and that Motherly love started comforting me in many ways.
One day I was stranded in a city on my journey to home in the evening. I missed the last train. Since there was a civil war it would be very dangerous to spend the night and if I return back to the capital, it might be problem for my government teaching job.
So I thought that it’s time for me to pull the rosary from my pocket and start praying. When began to say “ HAIL MARY FULL OF GRACE….” I saw hundred yards away a vehicle belonged to our Bishop’s house parked on the street. Simply I walked to the vehicle and asked for a ride and got home.
Why am I writing little long story for a comment because following that through my life her protection is undeniable.
I was fear of thinking after death and it was annoying me very much.
Finally I got Her favor by finding in church a leaflet describing about “ HEAVEN OPENED BY by the practice of THREE HAIL MARYS “ given by Our Lady to a Saint. This prayer should be recited in the morning and in the evening without skipping.
Please search for the origin and spread it out.
Thanks.

Thanks for the time to read my comment and your reaction.
If possible I’ll give this prayer in this comment section. Thanks again.
And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. Matthew 23:5
Calling The name of Holy Mary in any difficult situation will alway be the powerful help you need. She comes with holy angels and casts away any demon crushing evil’s head. She protects you and by holding your hand, she brings you to Jesus. We are her “heel” - her soft spot, her children and there is where she is attacked.
When I get what I call evil dreams and I'm so scared they keep waking me up. It's always praying to our mother Mary that takes them away and gives me peace. Recently it happened and this is the prayer I said - The Memorare
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly to thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me.
Amen.
MANY BLESSINGS TO YOU ALL 💜
WALK in FAITH And not by SIGHT.
The world is governed by powers and principalities that you do not seem to understand so therefore if you engage in something that you have consciously labeled as good or bad that is what will affect you. Remember you are what you think you are but more importantly you are what God created and your faith will show exactly what side of the spectrum of Good versus Evil you are on. Many blessings to you all and as I walk this path of peace and love I hope it is yours as well.💜💜💜💜.HOLD THY PEACE. 💜💜
Love Fr Calloway and love your shows Matt. Thank you for having Fr Calloway. You both are amazing, Catholic men. God bless you.
Uplifting and inspiring conversation. Two wonderful dudes! Love ‘em.
Thanks...Appreciate all your work...God bless you & family
Profound, heartwarming and incredible! Love hearing Fr Don speak of the mercy of God
I have a personal testimony. About several weeks ago, while I was watching Season 1, Episode 3 of The Chosen (Jesus loves the children). Jesus asked the children if they know how to pray the Shema, the children recited the prayer. One phrase that got me: “To Love God with all of your heart”. Those Words kept repeating in my head that I became overwhelmed with emotion (joyful emotion). I cried and I kept reciting those words “To love God with all of your heart”. It felt as if the Holy Spirit was reaching out to me. I asked God, Jesus Christ and The Blessed Mother to comfort me and fill my heart.Then I began to search for the Blessed Mother Mary, and I asked her to be my Spiritual Mother everytime I pray the Hail Mary. I just cant help myself but become emotional everytime I call out to the Blessed Mother.
God knows I am a sinner (sexual sin and lust) and I am very remorseful of my sins. I ask the God to help me fight the temptation of sexual sin.
Love fr Calloway! So real and down to earth.
Thanks GOD, I had experiences too, has been in the most desperate times of my life. I was a teenager and I just started going to the Catholic Church for conviction not tradition. My parents were divorced & being promiscuous (that really hurt me). I really didn't have a home. I was going to college & working both full time. My job was being a cleaning lady for buildings that paid very bad but you work hard. One night I could not take anymore. I was exhaustive in every way & I started crying & praying very hard because I felt so frustrated with my life. I felt sleep and then I felt a hand that went through my body, I was scared and I cover myself with the blankets, I felt sleep again. The next day I felt so relief, happy & in peace; and I knew that no matter what, GOD was going to help with my heavy trials. Since then I know where to go to The Catholic Church=Sacraments=GOD=Our Lady=Our Lord JesusCristo, for help in every way. My life hasn't been easy but HE gave me spiritual help to continue. I had/have dreams that help with my situations. Believe it or not HE always answer! In my case is with my vivid dreams.
Former sex addict who looked to Christ and Mary guided me through some serious spiritual attacks. God bless!
So Gracefulled Fr Donald Calloway and Matt so who much The love of Sacred Heart of Jesus and Mary Immaculate Heart will be with us always ❤💙🇦🇺
God wants us all, Mary saved me also through dreams, and via St Joan of Arc at 17 - I remember the honeymoon period also - great times. Now serious prayer needed just to keep our heads above the noise, thanks so much for sharing.
Love the “serious prayer needed just to keep our heads above the noise’. I thought it was just me. Perhaps this discernment is part of the world wide illumination of conscience! Thank you Jesus that we are becoming clearer as to who we are, where we are going and what you require from us - thank you for Mother Mary.🙏🏻❤️
Thanks!
Blessed Mother Mary ❤️💙🙏
Doesn,t cease to amaze me thar good people livex through such bad times. I'm ckmming Lord
My fingers wonder
Love Fr. Calloway!! Great conversion!
One night I was sleeping and out of no where I woke up screamed and ran out of the room I didn’t have a dream or anything, I don’t know what it was but I can still feel that moment.
Excellent! Videos like this and the conversion of Fr. Calloway should be shown in Catholic High Schools.
YES it ShOULD! 🙏🏻
thank you Fr. Donald. You have explained Mariology in simple everyday language. May the mother of God intercede for us and pour in us extraordinary graces to overcome all challenges. Amen
Wow, I would love to be that close to Jesus and Mary. I decided to come back to the Catholic Church, but I'm very much alone and don't have anyone to talk to or keep me going in that direction. But I long for the experience Fr Callaway is talking about.
Dear Jen - I totally feel your loneliness. I’m a convert, older (64), & disabled. I have made no friends in my church. I prayed about it & realized that I was expecting people to come to me…reach out to me. Instead I became an RCIA sponsor, which this is my 3rd catechumen. This year I volunteered to lead a Bible study in my home.
It’s not easy. I haven’t really made good friends but I feel more connected, more part of the community. But most of all I feel closer to Jesus. I can tell over time that the Holy Spirit is working in my life.
God bless you dear heart. Keep searching, go to Mass & reconciliation, & ask God to lead you.
I will say a prayer for you. Much love 🙏❤️
Lots ans lots of people in Brasil are consacrating to Saint Joseph using Father Calloway's book. Thank you Jesus
EXCELLENT!!!!!!!
The HOLY MOTHER , PRAY FOR US..
Praise our Lord and Lady and the Rosary. Thanks had similar experience's.🙏👍
Fr. Don is awesome. I'm wondering how he knew to call out for our Blessed Mother.
His whole family had converted but esp his mom, and were very devout, in part as a reaction to his shenanigans, while he was in rehab. The whole story is on one of Matt's long episodes
@@suzannephillips6236 I haven't listened to the entire interview yet, but I just listened to another part about the Japanese Mafia where he read a book on Marian Apparitions.
Wow. As a former Protestant who was not taught about much spiritual warfare and demons, this was unbelievable.
I had a dream recently in which I think Satan was attacking me. I fell into this pit of darkness, and I could feel an evil, demonic presence around me. I was so terrified I couldn’t think, so I immediately started to scream, “HAIL MARY…” and the rest of the prayer. I heard an agonized scream from the source of the darkness and all the black started to fade into gray. I woke up shaking and prayed Hail Mary’s until I calmed down.
A few days before that I dreamt I was in a house full of demons, but I wasn’t scared. I just screamed the names of Jesus and Mary and all the demons had to bow. I felt the power of God. Then I met Satan and kept invoking Jesus and Mary. He couldn’t do a thing because he was bowing, so I stomped on him until his form was mush on the floor (I didn’t kill him, obviously, since only God and truly destroy him).
As a Christian I have always found that telling a devil to leave in Jesus name is very effective.
Doesn't matter how strong the devil is or what type it is, they leave.
