Fr. Ripperger on How the Devil Attacks Your Family
About this episode
Fr. Chad Ripperger discusses the subtle ways the devil attacks families and offers insights on resisting these spiritual challenges.
Satan and his demons are targeting your family—but his attacks are often far more subtle than most Catholics realize. Exorcist Fr. Chad Ripperger explains why the devil's primary strategy is often not dramatic possession, but subtle attacks on our thoughts, perceptions, and relationships. Drawing from Sacred Scripture, years of experience as an exorcist, and the wisdom of the saints, he reveals how resentment, distorted assumptions, and the loss of daily self-sacrifice slowly erode marriages and family life—and what Catholics can do to resist these attacks. He also highlights God's providence, the purpose of suffering, spiritual discipline, the reality of the occult, and how to achieve holiness in a world increasingly marked by spiritual conflict.
