    Episode 180: Mitch Pacwa on his book St. Paul on the Power of the Cross (June 24, 2025)
    Jun 24 2025
    In this episode of The Catholic Bookworm, Kiki Latimer interviews Mitch Pacwa on his book St. Paul on the Power of the Cross.

    On the road to Damascus, St. Paul was transformed from one of the most zealous persecutors of Christians into one of the greatest apostles in history. Like all of us, he experienced suffering, weakness, and hardships, but amid these trials during his heroic mission trips, visions, and near-death escapes, he felt the strength of God’s grace sustaining him and urging him forward.

    Popular EWTN host and author Fr. Mitch Pacwa, S.J., unpacks the letters of St. Paul in this energizing study. Each section contains a focus meditation explaining the historical contexts of St. Paul’s letters; passages to investigate; interactive learning activities; questions for studying and discussing; and modern applications for your own spiritual life. A plan is also included to help you read all of St. Paul’s letters and the Acts of the Apostles in less than half a year.

    Through Fr. Pacwa’s engaging reflections on St. Paul’s spirituality, you will discover how Jesus Christ crucified is the wisdom of God, how the Cross itself radiates the power of God, and what this means for you today. Father will help you answer questions such as:

    • What is your cross, and how can you use it to better follow Jesus?
    • How can you imitate St. Paul’s example in offering up sufferings to be united with Christ, so that your suffering will have meaning?
    • What are the three instructions St. Paul gives his spiritual children on how to live?
    • How can Jesus’ death on the Cross help overcome divisions in the Church and aid in the salvation of souls today?
    • What are the two primary ways in which the power of the Cross is manifest in us, according to St. Paul?
    • How does the Cross renew the faithful in the face of corruption?
    St. Paul and the Power of the Cross will help you see how Christ draws us into intimate union with the heavenly Father and better understand how to respond to God’s invitation. It will fill you with the hope of eternal salvation and show you how to share the good news effectively with others.

    Episode 179: Jesse Romero on his book Prayer as a Weapon: How to Go on the Spiritual Offensive (June 23, 2025)

    In this episode of The Catholic Bookworm, Kiki Latimer interviews Jesse Romero on his book Prayer as a Weapon: How to Go on the Spiritual Offensive (June 23, 2025)

    In the eternal battle for souls, prayer is our greatest weapon. In this book on spiritual warfare, acclaimed author and radio host Jesse Romero emphasizes the importance of prayer in facing our modern crises, especially for men who are the heads of their households.He reminds us that the faculty of prayer is both a gift and a protective weapon from God. Far from a passive routine, it is an intrepid action in which we directly encounter the divine and drive away the diabolic. Romero identifies the different types of prayer — liturgical, adoration, petition, intercession, thanksgiving, and praise — and demonstrates from Scripture and Tradition that prayer is also a weapon. This idea is unfamiliar to most Catholics, especially Catholic men. Focusing on the necessity and relevance of prayer in the lives of modern Catholics, Romero highlights:
    • Why prayer requires humility
    • The power of the St. Michael Prayer in protecting one from demonic forces
    • Why specificity is important in prayer intentions
    • Ways to make your prayers more efficacious
    • The role of sacramentals in spiritual protection
    • How only a return to prayer can win the culture wars
    Drawing from Scripture, the Catechism, the lives of the saints, and his own experiences in spiritual warfare and the pro-life movement, Romero provides riveting examples of the power of prayer to advance the Kingdom of Heaven even on this earth. He reminds Catholics of the duties bestowed upon us at our Confirmations: to become joyful soldiers for Christ and to pray without ceasing (1 Thess. 5:17).The book also features moving testimonies of the power of the Rosary from medieval times to the present and includes reminders that, in the stirring words of St. John Chrysostom:“The power of prayer has subdued the strength of fire, bridled the rage of lions, silenced anarchy, extinguished wars, appeased the elements, expelled demons, burst the chains of death, enlarged the gates of Heaven, relieved diseases, averted frauds, rescued cities from destruction, stayed the sun in its course, and arrested the progress of the thunderbolt. In sum, prayer has power to destroy whatever is at enmity with the good.”
