LENTCAzT 2025 – 02: Thursday after Ash Wednesday – On The Demonic

A 5 minute daily podcast to help you in your Lenten discipline.

The Roman Station is San Giorgio in Velabro, near where St. Sebastian died and where St. John Henry Newman was one the Titular Cardinal.  We hear from Fulton Sheen’s On The Demonic.  I will need several of these podcasts for what I want to hand along from this chapter.

    I wondered why you said you’d need several podcasts. And then I listened to the podcast.

    I taught college for over 35 years and all my lectures were from 50 to 65 minutes. It occurs to me that I do not appreciate the amount of work it takes to plan 40 days of 5 minute, insightful talks. Thank you very much for doing this.
    On another note, my wife (trying to get a college degree before she turns 70 next January) is taking a survey class on English literature, which includes Julian of Norwich. There is a very beautiful passage about a hazelnut that she uses to describe how much God loves us. Have you seen this?

    Fr. Z., I’m so sorry you have these trials. I pray for you every day and will continue. I will add your needs to these chaplets I try to say every day.
    I use these 2 Chaplets consisting of 33 beads dedicated to the 33 years Christ lived on earth. They actually can be used as little prayers, not as a Chaplet. The Blessed Sacrament Chaplet is short and sweet: After receiving communion or making a spiritual communion. I say on the 33 beads: “Jesus, in the Blessed Sacrament, have mercy on us”. I borrowed the following from the Chaplet to the Holy Face of Jesus that Mary gave to Bl. Maria Pierina. I start and end with the Golden Arrow prayer. On the same 33 beads, I use Psalm 68:2 and My Jesus, mercy. I say: “Arise, O Lord, and let Thy enemies be scattered, and let them that hate Thee flee before Thy Face.” and “My Jesus, mercy”. According to the original Chaplet the verse in the Scriptures the devil feared the most is Psalm 68:2: “Let God arise, and let His enemies be scattered, and let them that hate Him flee from before His face!” This verse always compelled them to take flight.
