I was studying to be an Assemblies of God pastor when my Catholic grandmother passed away. I was swept up by the Blessed Mother at Grandmother’s wake where we prayed the rosary. I prayed the Our Fathers but would not pray the Hail Mary’s- believing that was idolatry. Yet I broke down and wept and saw a vision of women weeping at the feet of Jesus at the Cross. As a cradle Catholic and teen delinquent I was radically saved in the streets, uncatechized I did not know the faith. A Catholic priest challenged me to come home to the Church. While I wrestled with many teachings, especially Marian doctrines, my daughter was born on the feast of the Assumption in St Mary’s hospital while at the exact same moment my dad was being initiated into the Catholic Church. Eventually I just tapped out and returned to the faith, but Mary guided and still guides my way with signs and wonders. I am experiencing a renewal to Our Lady and on fire to transmit the faith and teach devotion to Mary and the rosary. Keep up the great work men!
That is amazing! How did you know to do this? I have started praying daily for 3 weeks now after watching Fr Corapi on TH-cam. I'm excited to pray it every day now. God bless.
G W Bernadette's experiences were powerful to me as a young girl and, have refocused my attention throughout my life, when going through difficult times. I often pray Novenas with focused intensional toward a specific issue. When I don't want to pray I use that "not wanting" as my focused intention.
@@debramulcahy9979 yes the song of Bernadette what a wonderful young girl she was amazing we will never see another beautiful soul on our life time the world need prayer lots of it
I am so happy to know that 5 Filipino women were part of the conversion of Fr. Calloway. He always mentions that in his conversion talks. It makes me proud I am a Filipino who still prays the rosary, and endeavors to evangelize in any way I can.
Amen and Amen!!! While building aircraft in Winnipeg in the 1980's and 1990's I worked with people from the Philippines. Some of THE BEST people I have EVER had the pleasure of knowing. Simply the best folks around!!! Velox Versutus Vigilans
Stop resisting...chose a Catholic church and continue the true faith, with every decade you pray Our Blessed Virgin calls to you....obey your Mother! Bless You.....
Hi Jacob...Catholicism is beautiful...we have the EUCHARIST, Mother Mary, the Communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the soundness of moral teachings. In Catholicism, death does not have the final word. GOD bless!
Mother Mary please bless father Callaway and Dr. Taylor Marshall and their work promoting you are the Holy Queen And the Catholic Church! Thank you Jesus!
Mary certainly had a very strong role in bringing me onto the road to Rome. I love the Rosary, and I thank Our Lady for her gentle guidance and inspiration. I enter the Catholic Church this Easter (w/ the wonderful Brandon Vogt as my sponsor!)
I met him in person & he signed my book! Great priest & very knowledgeable 🙏🏽.. I was baptized catholic but been going to Episcopal church throughout my teens until now because my mother received helped during a difficult time and decided to go there... my Mom still prays the rosary as well as me💞.. I am going back home to the Catholic Church because I never really knew the Catholic Faith & I am trying to figure it out! Lol.. FR. Calloway told me remember who is the true Church! That has resonated with me since! Thank you & God Bless both of you! 🙏🏽
Wow “You are not going to have a united house if you are not united around the mother of the house”! Thank you Reverend Fr. Donald, all Catholic families should hear this line - 👍🏻👏💪🏻🙏🏼
Wow! I expected to listen to about 5-10 minutes if this and figured it would be way over my head. Very well done. I understood almost everything and you are both excellent speakers that I find very easy to listen to. Thank you. I have been very lax in praying the rosary and this was a good kick in the pants for me.
I just found this interview!! I love it! I ran to Amazon and bought Fr. Donald Calloway’s book Champions of the Rosary. 🙏📿 I taught myself to pray the rosary and have been praying it everyday for a month and half! I’m a new catholic convert!
Thank you, Dr. Marshall & Fr. Calloway. I really am blessed to learn about the history of the Holy Rosary! I try to pray the Holy Rosary every morning! I LOVE the Rosary. God bless!
Love this conversation! I had been saying the Luminous Mysteries for a while and then stopped, more or less agreeing with the idea that they aren't "original" and that they sort of disrupted the 7-day rotation of the daily recitation of the Rosary, also thinking I was being more obedient some how. But I was kind of missing saying them. They are indeed beautiful and meaningful. Now after considering this most reasonable and "illuminating" explanation of the background and necessity of these additional five mysteries, I am incorporating them back into my Rosary rotation! In fact, this very day I will, as today is Thursday! Hooray! (Thanks, Fr. Don and Dr. Marshall for shedding light on the history and the whole of the Rosary!)
@@cabscabs5785 @Cabs Cabs Well, I've since gone back to saying only the 3 Mysteries, as Heaven provided originally. After all, that is the best way for me personally to pray the Rosary. I like that that when Mary gave it to St. Dominic it clearly was meant to echo the 150 Psalms, hence "Mary's Psalter" as it was called before being named "The Rosary". That all said, I appreciate the Luminous devotions from JPII but I no longer admit them as part of my Rosary and consider them as a separate prayer worthy of devotion. That's how I've made peace with the "Luminous conundrum" but I'm not saying that's what others must do. Just a suggestion.
Thank you Dr Marshall... even listening today to this interview with Fr Don five years back, I enjoyed it tremendously... thank you Fr Calloway. We love you. God bless 👐👐🕯🕯🕯

Thank you ... A very well coordinated discussion ... Black death ... Strong reminder ... The Queen eagerly waiting to year our intercession .. Ave Maria
Great and important video gents. I'm a cradle Catholic but did not start praying the Rosary until I Retired from the U.S. Army in my late 40's. I tell you it's the most powerful weapon against the enemy I have ever experienced even when I was in the combat zone in Iraq and Afghanistan. It has literally help me deal with all kinds of challenges past and present. Other than the Sacraments its the greatest source of hope and healing I have experienced. I hope we all unite to get everyone to pray it. God bless you and may you keep moving forward with God's mission to heal and redeem the world.
It's incredible I feel so much hope and am so encouraged in this time ... Despite the fact everywhere I turn there is so much scandal ...our government, the Church, our society, the world, our families...yet having God and having both good priests and good lay persons such as yourselves, to encourage us gives me a lot of hope to continue to believe God is always after us and is going to keep us safe through it all.
John, you look like you have a few years on you (like me, I'm almost 80), but I have this memory of praying the Rosary when I was younger and I seem to remember the decade we call the Presentation was called the Circumcism. Help me out here.
@@jeromemenard2869 The Solemnity of Mary (January 2nd) used to be called the "Feast of the Circumcision" Circumcision of a Jewish baby boy took place 8 days after birth (in Christ's case Christmas ->Jan. 2nd on our calendar) The Presentation in the Temple occurred about 40 days or so after the birth of a child. It was a thanksgiving offering (grain and turtle doves for poor people) for the birth of a male child. Prayers were also said over the mother (If she was still alive; many women died during or shortly after childbirth in days past.) The Presentation at the Temple is when the prophetess Anna and the old holy man, Simeon, saw Jesus. When Simeon made the remark about "a sword piercing Mary's heart" (i.e great sorrow)
I have met him, went on a vocation retreat which I loved....very powerful and wonderful priests. I love the Divine Mercy and becoming in love with the Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Queen of Heaven...
The holy rosary is powerful. I love the holy rosary so much. I used to pray a lot but then I got confused and anxious due to something happening in my life and I didn’t understand. My friends were Protestants and they led astrayed due to fit in instead of being myself. But I found my way again and realized the catholic faith is my friend.
When they talk about the wedding at Cana I always imagine Mary looking at Jesus after she said there is no wine 🍷 and Jesus said it is not my time woman 👩 (Maybe Mary was thinking w/o telling Jesus “Are you going to disobey me now son” 😂) so Mary instructed the servants “DO AS JESUS TELLS YOU”. Jesús obeyed his mother 😂 so Mary has POWER over her son, Mary can pray for us to her son if her son does not listen to us sinners. Nice 👍
Hi Candy, I love meditating on the Wedding at Cana when praying the Rosary. I imagine arriving with Jesus, Mary and the Apostles, having a drink with the Apostles and watching Jesus and Mary doing the first waltz....According to Nicephorus Callistus, a 14th century Greek scholar of church history, the bridegroom at the wedding of Cana may well have been St Jude the Apostle. We just don't know, but it is certainly interested to think about.
@@MsRwise Hi Rosalinda, a hint of Mother Mary's intercession. The most powerful words spoken by a woman on earth "Do whatever he tells you." After the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and Adoration, there is nothing in the Catholic Church that I love as much as the Rosary"
I have said 900 rosaries in the seven months ending 30 April 2020. In the forty-seven years before that less than one hundred. And before that our family said the rosary everyday led by my precious mum ❤️
And here we are, 18 months after this video, and where is the Church? At war. I found this ironic. Guess we'll all get back to daily rosary. Pray for the priests, pray for other, keep the faith.
My husband and I started praying the rosary for a month now. He didn’t know how before but now he’s a devoted to Our Lady. We can see the effects of the daily rosary in our lives. Our life has more meaning now. I can’t explain everything in detail but it’s all positive. We’re cursing less, less materialistic and less thinking about making money, more charitable, less anger and envious and we seek God more in our lives. Our spiritual lives are a lot better in terms of seeking salvation and God. I had my miraculous medal since I was in my 20’s. Our lady always pulls me in even though I strayed. Ave Maria!
Over and over again, I found myself spontaneously clapping as I watched this joyful conversation. It was not only hugely informative but also completely delightful, a salve to the soul. And hearing Father call for a Holy League -- without irony, artifice, or hesitation -- sent a shaft of light into this present darkness. Truth is always timely.
Dear Dr. Marshall these podcasts help many people share their belief and your teachings. It is a way for them to be reached and have better understanding. So Special that ALL souls May choose Jesus Christ as their Savior and repent of all their sins. ALL their sins. We have repented but are human. We are sinners therefore we have to continually repent. Otherwise we will go to Purgatory. If when we face Jesus and deal with His judgement. We are in the time of His Mercy. While we are alive we can pray for those who have died. The dead cannot pray but if alive we can pray for the dead. Mary gave birth to Jesus. She brought Him to us and He LOVES us and wants us to be with Him. Blessed Mother Mary loves us and wants us to be with Jesus and herself…in Heaven with GOD our Father and the Holy Spirit. Three in ONE. Amen. 🙏🎁❤️🕊🌟
"Who is the current Marian voice" I would say Immaculee Iligabiza who survived the Rwandan Genocide by praying the Rosary. She is incredible and her books on promoting the rosary taught me how to pray the rosary.
Cecilia Feltis Immaculee Ilibagiza has AFFECTED ME, SO VERY DEEPLY. For me, it became a turning point ... MY DAILY ROSARY IS A RESULT OF IMMACULEE ... her book AND ATTENDING TWO OF HER PRESENTATIONS💔
@@phyllisgaret4024 Thanks for referring this author and her books; I just went on Amazon and viewed them all and I must have all of them LOL! Thanks so much as I will be sharing this remarkable woman and her stories far and wide, yaaaaay!!!
Yes, Immaculee (along with Fr Calloway), was key to my returning to the Catholic faith and to the praying of the Rosary! She is such a witness to the faith. I highly recommend her compelling books!
Since returning to my Catholic faith, this video has answered every question I had about the history of the rosary and the introduction and changes to the mysteries. I was reluctant to add the Luminous mystery but now will gladly add it.
Here I am 2020 and I See we need warriors to pray the ROSARY daily and to pray it more than once thank-you to both of you for this video much respect for You both. I’m proud to be a warrior. I love Jesus and his mother and Father. 🙏🏻
I pray all in one the 3 Rosary Prayers first thing in the morning. The Five Mysteries 📿 Rosary Prayer, then the Chaplet Prayer of Divine Mercy (Faustina Prayers for Sinners), and the 14 Stations of the Cross prayer, which is so powerful. I have to learn the history of these prayers. Combine your prayers with reading the Bible, especially all 4 gospels and fasting. The only thing I’m working on it now is setting up a date for my confession. Doing all these prayers, fasting and reading the gospels, is already worked wonders in my whole family lives and open up so many things in understanding the word of GOD, and opportunities which help me tremendously in my life. Thank you for sharing I’m always learning something about the Rosary..by he way i bought some of your Books Calloway..
My favorite Mystery is also the Assumption. My mother, Maria Teresa, was faithful to Our Lady of Fatima's request for the daily Rosary. Mom was never without a rosary on her person. She passed away on the Feast Day of the Assumption, August 15, 2019, at the age of 89. Mom was Our Lady's devoted Rosary Warrior. I am continuing her legacy.
Dr. Marshall, my family and I just listened to your conversation with Father Calloway and found it very interesting and informative. Thank you for sharing this and would love to hear from Father Calloway in future conversations. My family and I learned so much and Father Calloway’s knowledge is enlightening. Hope you will invite him back to share more about the teachings of the Catholic Church. God bless you Dr. Marshall. Joanne Colombo.
Absolutely loving the videos, I seriously have been listening to your videos non-stop these past few weeks! Thank you so incredibly much for such great content, God is definitely changing this world for the better through people like you!
My favorite mystery is the Annunciation- I’m in never ending awe when I think of that moment with Mary and Gabriel when Jesus first blessed the earth with His human Presence.
I erroneously put off praying the Rosary forever and now it's something I look forward to every day. As Doc TM says "If you don't pray the rosary, you're not on the team".
Rosary is my favourite prayer. The ROSARY ... the sword that never leaves my right arm as a soldier of Jesus ChristYes, I know that the Rosary is optional: we Catholics are not required to pray the rosary if we do not want to. However, in my own personal experience, I think it is impossible to REMAIN Catholic without praying the Rosary everyday. It is too difficult to overcome our own sinfulness and laziness without the Daily Rosary. Praying the Rosary everyday glues our hearts to Jesus and Mary and reminds us to repent of our sins every single day. The moment that we stop praying the Rosary is the moment that we slowly begin to leave the Catholic Church in our hearts. It is impossible to remain a good and faithful Catholic without praying the Rosary every day. It is too difficult. .
I went to Catholic schools and high school, and I didn't do my confirmation because I wasn't sure if i wanted to be Catholic. After looking at other religions and getting to the point of needing to get married, what made me do the sacraments was the Rosary.. my love for Mary. the Catholic church, with all its flaws is the only one that I know of that gives honor to Our Lady, which I look at her as the sacred Femine..as the mother of earth. That was my reason, and the way I interpret it
I love the Luminous mysteries.. I feel that they complete the story of Jesus...and therefore, complete the rosary. I was happy to incorporate them into the rotation of mysteries.
The wedding at Canaan is nicely described in Blessed Caterina Emmerich's writings. As a child and onwards she regularly witnessed biblical scenes guided by an angel and before she died she related her visions or those she could recall in amazing detail to a poet who wrote them down from notes he had taken while she was alive.
Yes, her visions of Mary's life are beautiful to read about, and I tend to believe they are every bit as true and real as St. Faustina's visits to Hell and Purgatory. We are fortunate and blessed to have the records kept by these visionaries whom God blessed to share more knowledge of the eternal with us.
PART OF MY CONVERSION STORY (March 4, 22): THE ROSARY AND MERACLES I HAD, etc: Thank GOD for our LADY OF GADALUPE; when I visited her Shrine in Mexico in Dec. 2012. And I was suffering at the time of "Sleep Apenea" I was healed really while still there - FRARNKLY, my first intensions were to honor her. †Also, when I prayed the Rosary to help me to quit cigaretes on May 17, 1998, she answered my prayers immediately, though I was SUPER skeptical at that time. †Truely, when I prayed few rosaries in December 12, 2000, I was healed from my unbelief (Jn. 14: 1) - and I tried at the time first to pray OUR FATHER, but I couldn't remember the prayer... †For now I have recently been diagnosed of "THYROID" DESEASE which made my life upside down. I'll continue praying & trusting really! †Since my conversion, I try NOT to miss attending Masses weekly or daily etc. And I pray the Devine Mercy Chaplet daily at 3:00pm. And I NEVER missed. †UNDOUBTLY, Reading & meditating on "Gospel of life" according to daily readings is like my "daily bread"! As some one says: that every winter turnes to spring. But "The fool says in his heart, "There is no God" (Psalm 14: 1) Thank God for the ROSARY prayer, etc 🙏! AMEN - †By Saba Korial, and I was born in Middle East, now Christian Catholic & Canadian. 2Timothy 2: 4 & 4: 7
one genius thing: Mother Mary always protects Vienna in Austria, my home town. We have been occupied already 3 times from the Osmans in the 16th and 17th century and because we prayed to God and the Rosary we were saved. We even have the feast of "the name of Mary" on the 12th September in rememberance of the salvation from the Osman armee in 1683. After the 2nd World War Austria was freed from all Allies, the Russians, The French, The British and the US by the Rosary, it just took 8 years of prayer.
If the first three mysteries In St. Dominic's time fought heresy of the time, sounds like the Luminous Mysteries are to fight the Protestant heresy of not needing a sacramental life
Thanks, this explained a lot of things for me as I was concerned about adding the luminous mysteries and now I understand that the rosary has always been a living work in progress. Thanks for clearing it up :-)
Some Anglicans (Episcopalians) and some Lutherans still pray the rosary. The Orthodox have a version of the Rosary*** and they also have the Jesus Prayer. *** Rule of St. Seraphim of Sarov oblatesosbbelmont.org/2012/10/27/rosary-of-st-seraphim-of-sarov-appears-to-be-older-than-the-latin-rosary/ St. Seraphim of Sarov (1754-1833) stated that the psalter of Mary was prayed in the 8th century.
Saint Michael thaught the Children at Fatima two (2) important prayers, both need to be recited everytime we say the Rosary. The Angle of Portugal, Saint Michael, in 1916 thaught the children this second most important prayer. He thought them to Bow their heads to the ground and say " My God, I believe, I adore, I hope, and I love you. I ask pardon for thoes who do not believe, do not adore, do not hope and do not love You."
The book of St. Louis de Montefort is the best book about our Lady and the Holy Rosary. I strongly recommend for every Catholic to read that book instead.
I realize that Rosary is a critical part of preserving the faith in Christ. It's a wonderful weapon against heresies, which lure people in easily without tangible reminders of Christ's sacrifice.
Concerning the Luminous Mysteries, one might first point out that JPII proposed them specifically as an OPTION for individuals and communities. He did not command they be said, which makes it all the more strange to me that people get angry if they find you aren’t saying them. My main objection to the Luminous mysteries as an addendum is that Our Lady herself gave us the 15 original mysteries and the 150 Hail Marys. Did Our Lady lack foresight to see modern problems that we needed to “give fresh life” (JPII’s words) to a tired old formula? There are also 15 specific graces attached to the 15 decades, not 20. There have been small additions made to the Rosary, organically over time, such as the Fatima Prayer Father mentions. But this doesn’t compare because it was added BY Our Lady herself when she instructed the children to pray the Rosary (as it was then) for World Peace and the conversion of sinners. I’m not here to say anyone is sinning or going to Hell for saying the new mysteries. I don’t “prefer” the old Rosary because it’s old anymore than I prefer the old Mass because it’s old. If Our Lady, the Mother of God, the Seat of Wisdom, gave us this weapon, I think it makes sense to use it as she gave it until such time as she may return and alter it herself.
Vince I say the same thing. Who was JP 2 to add on to the rosary given by Mother Mary herself? He put forward the Divine Mercy devotion to counter the Sacred Heart Devotion and declared Faustina a saint! Though that devotion was turned down by 2 Pope's. Then this person who set up the Luminous mystery and it appealed to him. And, this person too was made a saint! The wrecked Church has veered off the right track and set a parallel track to Heaven which will not reach Heaven.
I was studying to be an Assemblies of God pastor when my Catholic grandmother passed away. I was swept up by the Blessed Mother at Grandmother’s wake where we prayed the rosary. I prayed the Our Fathers but would not pray the Hail Mary’s- believing that was idolatry. Yet I broke down and wept and saw a vision of women weeping at the feet of Jesus at the Cross. As a cradle Catholic and teen delinquent I was radically saved in the streets, uncatechized I did not know the faith. A Catholic priest challenged me to come home to the Church. While I wrestled with many teachings, especially Marian doctrines, my daughter was born on the feast of the Assumption in St Mary’s hospital while at the exact same moment my dad was being initiated into the Catholic Church. Eventually I just tapped out and returned to the faith, but Mary guided and still guides my way with signs and wonders. I am experiencing a renewal to Our Lady and on fire to transmit the faith and teach devotion to Mary and the rosary. Keep up the great work men!
That's a really beautiful testimony share the message with others many suffer because they don't know God and many blessings to you
Obviously the Devil fooled you with that vision. Clearly you were open to demon influences. You need to be born again. Only Jesus saves.
Welcome home!
Welcome home!! What a glorious story. ❤️🙏✝️

John, you look like you have a few years on you (like me, I'm almost 80), but I have this memory of praying the Rosary when I was younger and I seem to remember the decade we call the Presentation was called the Circumcism. Help me out here.
@@jeromemenard2869
The Solemnity of Mary (January 2nd)
used to be called the "Feast of the
Circumcision"
Circumcision of a Jewish baby boy
took place 8 days after birth (in
Christ's case Christmas ->Jan. 2nd
on our calendar)
The Presentation in the Temple
occurred about 40 days or so after
the birth of a child.
It was a thanksgiving offering (grain
and turtle doves for poor people) for
the birth of a male child. Prayers were
also said over the mother (If she was
still alive; many women died during or
shortly after childbirth in days past.)
The Presentation at the Temple is
when the prophetess Anna and the
old holy man, Simeon, saw Jesus.
When Simeon made the remark
about "a sword piercing Mary's
heart" (i.e great sorrow)
The Rosary is the most powerful Weapon. Love from India.
Thank you Dr. Taylor.God bless you.
I have met him, went on a vocation retreat which I loved....very powerful and wonderful priests. I love the Divine Mercy and becoming in love with the Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Queen of Heaven...
The holy rosary is powerful. I love the holy rosary so much. I used to pray a lot but then I got confused and anxious due to something happening in my life and I didn’t understand. My friends were Protestants and they led astrayed due to fit in instead of being myself. But I found my way again and realized the catholic faith is my friend.
Great topic, very needed and uplifting. well done.
Thanks Dr Marshall and Fr. Calloway.
When they talk about the wedding at Cana I always imagine being the bride - can you imagine having Jesus & Mary to your wedding?!
You do! At the vows! Mary is always by her sons side. When you take the vows you call down God Almighty aka Jesus. Hence Mary's inevitable prescience.
When they talk about the wedding at Cana I always imagine Mary looking at Jesus after she said there is no wine 🍷 and Jesus said it is not my time woman 👩 (Maybe Mary was thinking w/o telling Jesus “Are you going to disobey me now son” 😂) so Mary instructed the servants “DO AS JESUS TELLS YOU”. Jesús obeyed his mother 😂 so Mary has POWER over her son, Mary can pray for us to her son if her son does not listen to us sinners. Nice 👍
Hi Candy, I love meditating on the Wedding at Cana when praying the Rosary. I imagine arriving with Jesus, Mary and the Apostles, having a drink with the Apostles and watching Jesus and Mary doing the first waltz....According to Nicephorus Callistus, a 14th century Greek scholar of church history, the bridegroom at the wedding of Cana may well have been St Jude the Apostle. We just don't know, but it is certainly interested to think about.
@@MsRwise Hi Rosalinda, a hint of Mother Mary's intercession. The most powerful words spoken by a woman on earth "Do whatever he tells you." After the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and Adoration, there is nothing in the Catholic Church that I love as much as the Rosary"
They are at your wedding
I like it when Marshall discusses stuff like this rather than attacking the Pope or other speculation in the church. I learn more and feel encouraged.
Amazing. God bless you Fr. Calloway.
We love Fr. Calloway leading us. God bless Father and Dr. Marshall.
Thank you Dr. Taylor Marshall and Fr. Calloway for this talk, from Johannesburg, South Africa.
I have said 900 rosaries in the seven months ending 30 April 2020. In the forty-seven years before that less than one hundred. And before that our family said the rosary everyday led by my precious mum ❤️
Nothing ever stopped me from praying the Rosary, Second Vatican Council or not! ❤️🙏🏻
And here we are, 18 months after this video, and where is the Church? At war. I found this ironic. Guess we'll all get back to daily rosary. Pray for the priests, pray for other, keep the faith.
So true. What a rough few years it's been. Thank you for watching.
My husband and I started praying the rosary for a month now. He didn’t know how before but now he’s a devoted to Our Lady. We can see the effects of the daily rosary in our lives. Our life has more meaning now. I can’t explain everything in detail but it’s all positive. We’re cursing less, less materialistic and less thinking about making money, more charitable, less anger and envious and we seek God more in our lives. Our spiritual lives are a lot better in terms of seeking salvation and God. I had my miraculous medal since I was in my 20’s. Our lady always pulls me in even though I strayed. Ave Maria!
Great interview!!! Thank you Father Calloway for your "Yes" to Our Lady!!! LOVE THE DOCTORS OF THE CHURCH IDEA!! 3 Great Saints!!!
What a solid and fascinating person is this Fr. Donald. Beautiful spirit indeed. Blessings to you all.
Over and over again, I found myself spontaneously clapping as I watched this joyful conversation. It was not only hugely informative but also completely delightful, a salve to the soul. And hearing Father call for a Holy League -- without irony, artifice, or hesitation -- sent a shaft of light into this present darkness. Truth is always timely.
Dear Dr. Marshall these podcasts help many people share their belief and your teachings. It is a way for them to be reached and have better understanding.
So Special that ALL souls May choose Jesus Christ as their Savior and repent of all their sins. ALL their sins. We have repented but are human. We are sinners therefore we have to continually repent. Otherwise we will go to Purgatory. If when we face Jesus and deal with His judgement. We are in the time of His Mercy. While we are alive we can pray for those who have died. The dead cannot pray but if alive we can pray for the dead.
Mary gave birth to Jesus. She brought Him to us and He LOVES us and wants us to be with Him. Blessed Mother Mary loves us and wants us to be with Jesus and herself…in Heaven with GOD our Father and the Holy Spirit. Three in ONE. Amen. 🙏🎁❤️🕊🌟
"Who is the current Marian voice" I would say Immaculee Iligabiza who survived the Rwandan Genocide by praying the Rosary. She is incredible and her books on promoting the rosary taught me how to pray the rosary.
Cecilia Feltis Immaculee Ilibagiza has AFFECTED ME, SO VERY DEEPLY. For me, it became a turning point ... MY DAILY ROSARY IS A RESULT OF IMMACULEE ... her book AND ATTENDING TWO OF HER PRESENTATIONS💔
@@phyllisgaret4024 Thanks for referring this author and her books; I just went on Amazon and viewed them all and I must have all of them LOL! Thanks so much as I will be sharing this remarkable woman and her stories far and wide, yaaaaay!!!
Padre Pio was my greatest influence. Helping reinforce and reminding me has been Dr. Marshall. ✌️
Yes, Immaculee (along with Fr Calloway), was key to my returning to the Catholic faith and to the praying of the Rosary! She is such a witness to the faith. I highly recommend her compelling books!
I pray my Holy Rosary every night, before bedtime - in Latin .
Two intelligent men of God. X
Thanks for watching!
both converts to Catholicism and so devout while spiritually paralyzed born Catholics are merry making!
Since returning to my Catholic faith, this video has answered every question I had about the history of the rosary and the introduction and changes to the mysteries. I was reluctant to add the Luminous mystery but now will gladly add it.
Thank you for the blessing!!
Here I am 2020 and I See we need warriors to pray the ROSARY daily and to pray it more than once thank-you to both of you for this video much respect for You both. I’m proud to be a warrior. I love Jesus and his mother and Father. 🙏🏻
I had NO idea about any of this. Fascinating. The Catholic Faith is true and beautiful.
Fr. Calloway is the Marian apostle of our time!
God bless this wonderful priest!
Oh! Father Donald Calloway without a doubt is one of the most prominent Marián advocate today and Father Alar
I pray all in one the 3 Rosary Prayers
first thing in the morning. The Five Mysteries 📿 Rosary Prayer, then the Chaplet Prayer of Divine Mercy (Faustina Prayers for Sinners), and the 14 Stations of the Cross prayer, which is so powerful.
I have to learn the history of these prayers. Combine your prayers with reading the Bible, especially all 4 gospels and fasting. The only thing I’m working on it now is setting up a date for my confession. Doing all these prayers, fasting and reading the gospels, is already worked wonders in my whole family lives and open up so many things in understanding the word of GOD, and opportunities which help me tremendously in my life. Thank you for sharing I’m always learning something about the Rosary..by he way i bought some of your Books Calloway..
My favorite Mystery is also the Assumption. My mother, Maria Teresa, was faithful to Our Lady of Fatima's request for the daily Rosary. Mom was never without a rosary on her person. She passed away on the Feast Day of the Assumption, August 15, 2019, at the age of 89. Mom was Our Lady's devoted Rosary Warrior. I am continuing her legacy.
Dr. Marshall, my family and I just listened to your conversation with Father Calloway and found it very interesting and informative. Thank you for sharing this and would love to hear from Father Calloway in future conversations. My family and I learned so much and Father Calloway’s knowledge is enlightening. Hope you will invite him back to share more about the teachings of the Catholic Church. God bless you Dr. Marshall.
Joanne Colombo.
🙏🏼💝🙏🏼 God bless you both a hundredfold!!!
This was a great video. Fr. Calloway is awesome.
I absolutely enjoyed this. I plan on buying the book.
How do we get Fr Calloway to become Pope cz we NEEEED a Holy League NOW
Amen!!
@@TomLandry1 Right? That would be awesome!
I thought the exact same thing!! Let's add that intention to our prayer time!! 🙏🙏🙏
I love this! ❤❤❤ My favorite is the assumption too!
God bless you both!!
Absolutely loving the videos, I seriously have been listening to your videos non-stop these past few weeks! Thank you so incredibly much for such great content, God is definitely changing this world for the better through people like you!
My favorite mystery is the Annunciation- I’m in never ending awe when I think of that moment with Mary and Gabriel when Jesus first blessed the earth with His human Presence.
That would be the "Annunciation"
@@mosesaudu1734 Ha! Thanks, I must’ve been tired when I wrote that 😁
You hit it right on. WE NEED TO BE MORE BOLD.
I erroneously put off praying the Rosary forever and now it's something I look forward to every day. As Doc TM says "If you don't pray the rosary, you're not on the team".
Rosary is my favourite prayer. The ROSARY ... the sword that never leaves my right arm as a soldier of Jesus ChristYes, I know that the Rosary is optional: we Catholics are not required to pray the rosary if we do not want to. However, in my own personal experience, I think it is impossible to REMAIN Catholic without praying the Rosary everyday.
It is too difficult to overcome our own sinfulness and laziness without the Daily Rosary. Praying the Rosary everyday glues our hearts to Jesus and Mary and reminds us to repent of our sins every single day. The moment that we stop praying the Rosary is the moment that we slowly begin to leave the Catholic Church in our hearts. It is impossible to remain a good and faithful Catholic without praying the Rosary every day. It is too difficult.

This is the best video on this channel yet! Love these guys!
Excelente video Dr. Taylor. Bendiciones para todos desde Puebla, México.
The rosary saved me
I went to Catholic schools and high school, and I didn't do my confirmation because I wasn't sure if i wanted to be Catholic. After looking at other religions and getting to the point of needing to get married, what made me do the sacraments was the Rosary.. my love for Mary.
the Catholic church, with all its flaws is the only one that I know of that gives honor to Our Lady, which I look at her as the sacred Femine..as the mother of earth. That was my reason, and the way I interpret it
Cheers from New Zealand
Since I pray the Rosary, I am happy again < 3
I love the Luminous mysteries.. I feel that they complete the story of Jesus...and therefore, complete the rosary. I was happy to incorporate them into the rotation of mysteries.
The wedding at Canaan is nicely described in Blessed Caterina Emmerich's writings. As a child and onwards she regularly witnessed biblical scenes guided by an angel and before she died she related her visions or those she could recall in amazing detail to a poet who wrote them down from notes he had taken while she was alive.
Yes, her visions of Mary's life are beautiful to read about, and I tend to believe they are every bit as true and real as St. Faustina's visits to Hell and Purgatory. We are fortunate and blessed to have the records kept by these visionaries whom God blessed to share more knowledge of the eternal with us.
Amazing stories, many thanks.
"The Bible on beads!" Fr.Don
I love the scriptural 📿rosary. It helps keep focused...
PART OF MY CONVERSION STORY (March 4, 22): THE ROSARY AND MERACLES I HAD, etc:
Thank GOD for our LADY OF GADALUPE; when I visited her Shrine in Mexico in Dec. 2012. And I was suffering at the time of "Sleep Apenea" I was healed really while still there - FRARNKLY, my first intensions were to honor her.
†Also, when I prayed the Rosary to help me to quit cigaretes on May 17, 1998, she answered my prayers immediately, though I was SUPER skeptical at that time.
†Truely, when I prayed few rosaries in December 12, 2000, I was healed from my unbelief (Jn. 14: 1) - and I tried at the time first to pray OUR FATHER, but I couldn't remember the prayer...
†For now I have recently been diagnosed of "THYROID" DESEASE which made my life upside down. I'll continue praying & trusting really!
†Since my conversion, I try NOT to miss attending Masses weekly or daily etc. And I pray the Devine Mercy Chaplet daily at 3:00pm. And I NEVER missed.
†UNDOUBTLY, Reading & meditating on "Gospel of life" according to daily readings is like my "daily bread"! As some one says: that every winter turnes to spring. But "The fool says in his heart, "There is no God" (Psalm 14: 1)
Thank God for the ROSARY prayer, etc 🙏! AMEN -
†By Saba Korial, and I was born in Middle East, now Christian Catholic & Canadian.

My favourite decade of the rosary is the third glorious mystery the decent of the Holy Spirit
Sarah Nicholas mine too!!!
one genius thing: Mother Mary always protects Vienna in Austria, my home town. We have been occupied already 3 times from the Osmans in the 16th and 17th century and because we prayed to God and the Rosary we were saved. We even have the feast of "the name of Mary" on the 12th September in rememberance of the salvation from the Osman armee in 1683. After the 2nd World War Austria was freed from all Allies, the Russians, The French, The British and the US by the Rosary, it just took 8 years of prayer.
Thankyou God for the rosary 🙏🙏🌸🌸🌸🌸🙏🙏🌸🌸❤️❤️
If the first three mysteries In St. Dominic's time fought heresy of the time, sounds like the Luminous Mysteries are to fight the Protestant heresy of not needing a sacramental life
Mark Knesal said
Wow, tell me about that, that sounds interesting, what's your insight on that, the Luminous for Protestantism?
mind = blown
Wedding of Cana = because the indissolubility of Marriage is under attack
Institution of the Eucharist = because of unbelief of the Catholic faithful, and Communion through the Hand
"I don't wake up in the morning and go, 'yay the breviary!!!'" Ahaha you got me good there fr!
Thanks, this explained a lot of things for me as I was concerned about adding the luminous mysteries and now I understand that the rosary has always been a living work in progress. Thanks for clearing it up :-)
Wow,that was a beautiful insight
It's Fr. Calloway, he's the Marian Apostle
If the non Catholic church honored their Mother who is Mary, immediately the world would change for the better. Period
Some Anglicans (Episcopalians)
and some Lutherans still pray
the rosary. The Orthodox have
a version of the Rosary*** and they
also have the Jesus Prayer.

Praying for you fr.don
Love from.the philippines
Saint Michael thaught the Children at Fatima two (2) important prayers, both need to be recited everytime we say the Rosary. The Angle of Portugal, Saint Michael, in 1916 thaught the children this second most important prayer. He thought them to Bow their heads to the ground and say " My God, I believe, I adore, I hope, and I love you. I ask pardon for thoes who do not believe, do not adore, do not hope and do not love You."
Love the mysteries of Light
Wow this was fantastic!
The book of St. Louis de Montefort is the best book about our Lady and the Holy Rosary. I strongly recommend for every Catholic to read that book instead.
Fr Calloway acknowledged this in one of his talks.
Wow I didn’t know that about Father Calloway. That’s awesome.
I realize that Rosary is a critical part of preserving the faith in Christ. It's a wonderful weapon against heresies, which lure people in easily without tangible reminders of Christ's sacrifice.
To Mary: "May the blood of your Son and your (own) many tears may not be wasted on our behalf."
Concerning the Luminous Mysteries, one might first point out that JPII proposed them specifically as an OPTION for individuals and communities. He did not command they be said, which makes it all the more strange to me that people get angry if they find you aren’t saying them. My main objection to the Luminous mysteries as an addendum is that Our Lady herself gave us the 15 original mysteries and the 150 Hail Marys. Did Our Lady lack foresight to see modern problems that we needed to “give fresh life” (JPII’s words) to a tired old formula? There are also 15 specific graces attached to the 15 decades, not 20. There have been small additions made to the Rosary, organically over time, such as the Fatima Prayer Father mentions. But this doesn’t compare because it was added BY Our Lady herself when she instructed the children to pray the Rosary (as it was then) for World Peace and the conversion of sinners.
I’m not here to say anyone is sinning or going to Hell for saying the new mysteries. I don’t “prefer” the old Rosary because it’s old anymore than I prefer the old Mass because it’s old. If Our Lady, the Mother of God, the Seat of Wisdom, gave us this weapon, I think it makes sense to use it as she gave it until such time as she may return and alter it herself.
Vince I say the same thing. Who was JP 2 to add on to the rosary given by Mother Mary herself? He put forward the Divine Mercy devotion to counter the Sacred Heart Devotion and declared Faustina a saint! Though that devotion was turned down by 2 Pope's. Then this person who set up the Luminous mystery and it appealed to him. And, this person too was made a saint! The wrecked Church has veered off the right track and set a parallel track to Heaven which will not reach Heaven.
Vince McKenzie w
I find praying the luminous mysteries hard. Mostly because of the ascension and the crowning of Mary.
Amen.
