Bartolo Longo

From the depths of darkness to the heights of holiness — this is the extraordinary story of a man whom the world called lost, but whom Heaven claimed.

Bartolo Longo: From Priest of Satan to Apostle of the Rosary is a compelling fictional-style biography of Blessed Bartolo Longo, a man who walked a dramatic spiritual path from occultism and despair into confident faith, devotion, and service.

As a young lawyer turned spiritist medium, Longo succumbed to dark influences and was even called a “priest of Satan.” Yet, through an inner encounter with Our Lady and by embracing the power of the Rosary, his life was completely transformed. He became a fervent promoter of Marian devotion, a builder of the great Rosary sanctuary in Pompeii, and a tireless advocate for social works — caring for orphans, prisoners’ children, and the impoverished.
