RA #957: The Power of the Rosary (ft. Gabriel Castillo)

Gabriel Castillo joins Greg and Jennifer to talk about The Power of the Rosary, the real fight for holiness, and why calling on Mary is needed now more than ever to fight the evil in this world. Gabriel Castillo, known online as GabiAfterHours, joins Greg and Jennifer for a conversation that goes in so many incredible and unexpected directions. Before discussing his book The Power of the Rosary, Gabriel shares how Rosary Army's early audio rosaries and videos shaped his prayer life, ministry, and desire to use media for the faith. The conversation tackles desolation, sin, confession, spiritual attack, Saint Louis de Montfort, Saint Maximilian Kolbe, the Luminous Mysteries, and the family Rosary. Truly, one of the best episodes we've ever recorded!
