0:00.0	This is the movement of the Holy Family, leading people to Jesus through friendship, good conversation, and the Rosary.
0:18.0	Welcome to our Rosary. I'm Dr. Troy Hinkle. This is the rosary of the movement of the Holy Family.
0:24.1	We call to mine wherever in the presence of Almighty God in whom we live, move, and have our being.
0:29.1	We call upon him in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
0:34.3	We paused to offer this rosary for our prayer petitions, especially Olivia Conelli, Thomas Lauer, and all priests, clergy, and the hierarchy of the church.
0:45.6	The topic of our rosary tonight is St. Joseph, Terror of Demons.
0:50.5	We'll be looking at St. Joseph as we approach May 1st, which is the feast of St. Joseph,
0:56.3	the worker. One of the titles of St. Joseph in this beautiful litany of St. Joseph is
1:03.3	St. Joseph's Terror of Demons. To understand this title better, it may be helpful to first understand the pride of the demons, a pride that
1:14.6	eternally torments them. The irony of pride is that rather than reveal the truth about oneself
1:21.6	and be the cause of one's celebrity, is instead a lie that hides the truth only from the proud and is the cause of
1:31.5	downfall. Further, because pride distorts a proper view of reality, the proud person
1:39.8	damages or destroys his ability to relate to others, to relate to self, and what's worse,
1:49.6	to relate to God. Loneliness, loss, and torment are the inevitable result. Lucifer was created
1:59.1	as the most beautiful of the angels, but fell because he refused to be subjected to anything or anyone.
2:09.1	Revelations chapter 12 tells us that Satan and his minions were thrown down from heaven to earth,
2:16.2	where they now attack those, excuse me, who attest to Jesus
2:20.5	and obey him. The pride of the devil can be summed up in what some spiritual writers call
2:26.9	the three laws of Satan. You can do what you wish, apart from God's law. That's law one.
2:34.0	Law two, obey no one. And three, you are the
2:38.2	God of yourself. The saints, especially St. Joseph, offer a completely different model,
2:47.1	that of living in obedience to God. This is why they are glorified.
