Today, on the feast of St. Joseph, we reflect this litany created by St. Bartolo Longo, a convert, apostle of the Rosary, and a man whose life reveals the power of devotion and spiritual renewal.

Born in 1841 in Italy, Bartolo Longo drifted far from the faith in his youth, even becoming involved in satanic practices. Through grace and the guidance of faithful friends, he returned to the Church with deep repentance and a renewed desire to dedicate his life entirely to God. His conversion was not superficial. It was total, marked by prayer, penance, and a longing to repair what had been lost.

Bartolo became a Third Order Dominican and devoted himself to spreading the Rosary, eventually founding the Shrine of Our Lady of Pompeii. Yet his spirituality was also deeply rooted in devotion to St. Joseph, whom he saw as a powerful protector against evil and a model of hidden strength. In reflecting on St. Joseph’s life, Bartolo recognized that it was not outward power that defeated darkness, but quiet holiness lived with fidelity.

This insight is captured in his striking litany, which proclaims that the virtues of St. Joseph strike fear into the forces of evil. Not through violence or display, but through fatherhood, humility, charity, poverty, purity, obedience, silence, suffering, prayer, even his very name and hidden life. Each virtue reflects a soul fully aligned with God’s will, and therefore a threat to anything opposed to it.

St. Bartolo Longo reminds us that sanctity is the strongest weapon against darkness. His devotion to St. Joseph teaches that the quiet virtues, often overlooked by the world, carry immense spiritual power. In a life rooted in prayer and fidelity, even the smallest acts become a force for good.

St. Bartolo Longo, pray for us.

From the Diocese of Lexington:

Please circulate this message from the Bishop to your parishioners and others:

Because of the reports about the likelihood of severe winter weather this weekend, please remember that no one is required to sacrifice their safety and well-being to attend Sunday Mass. We should not lightly exempt ourselves from the obligation to attend Mass, but dangerous roads and icy conditions provide a good reason to stay at home. Live-streamed masses, reading the Scriptures of the day, prayer as a family can all be good ways to keep holy the Lord’s Day when it is not safe to go to Mass.

Peace and all good,

Bishop John Stowe, OFM Conv.
