St. Paul On The Power of the Cross
"The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved, it is the power of God." -- St. Paul, 1 Corinthians 1:18. St. Paul returned to the theme of the Cross over and over again as he taught Christians about salvation and exhorted them to worship. As Bible scholar and popular EWTN host Fr. Mitch Pacwa unveils St. Paul's words, you'll discover just how profoundly the Cross affected this apostle, equipping him for evangelization and helping him overcome strife. With the help of Fr. Pacwa's focus and modern applications, you'll learn how Jesus Christ crucified is the wisdom of God, how the Cross itself reflects the power of God, and what this means for you:
- What is your cross, and how can you use it to better follow Jesus?
- How can you follow St. Paul's example in offering up sufferings to be united with Christ's Cross?
- How can the centrality of Jesus dying on the Cross help overcome divisions in the Christian Church today?

St. Paul, Steward of the Mysteries
Created by Father Mitch Pacwa, S.J., this study was written for the yearlong celebration honoring St. Paul which began June 29, 2008. Many existing small groups will want to participate in this jubilee by studying St. Paul through materials such as this. This particular study focuses on St. Paul’s teachings about the sacraments. In a familiar pattern, this study consists of a single booklet presenting six sessions titled: To be One with Christ: St. Paul on Baptism; To be Forgiven: St. Paul on Baptism and Reconciliation; To be Sealed with the Holy Spirit: St. Paul on Confirmation; The Breaking of the Bread: St. Paul on the Eucharist; Offering Sacrifice: St. Paul on Holy Orders; To Become One Flesh: St. Paul on Matrimony. Each session uses Fr. Pacwa’s commentaries and sidebar stories to lead participants through Sacred Scripture in exploring a given sacrament, and includes discussion questions and points for personal reflection. The booklet also contains suggestions for small group use. This study can be purchased from the OEC (OEC@straphael.org) for $6 each or directly from Our Sunday Visitor Publishing (www.osv.com).
Connection to St. Paul
Pope Benedict XVI proclaimed this year to be a Jubilee Year of St. Paul. The Evangelical Catholic wrote these materials using some of Paul's most famous passages of Scripture. Each session also relates the week's topic to a captivating narrative from St. Paul's adventurous life. Topics include Love, Temptation, Virtue, Suffering, Spirit, and Church. The sessions are written to help participants discover the Word of God presented to us through St. Paul's inspiring writings and to relate them to everyday life through discussion. This study can be purchased from the OEC or directly from the Evangelical Catholic (www.EvangelicalCatholic.org) for $5 each.
Paul: Contending for the Faith
First a persecutor, then a champion of the Church; blinded and struck down only to see and stand tall. Thrill in the story of Paul, Contending for the Faith
Zealous for the God of Israel, Saul of Tarsus pursued murderous threats against the disciples of Jesus. But Saul’s zeal was turned upside down when he was knocked from his “high horse” and humbled by the hand of God.
