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.
