Divine Intimacy Radio: Podcast

Fr. Gabriele Amorth, the renowned “Pope’s Exorcist,” exposes the reality of the devil’s influence and offers practical guidance for spiritual protection. Drawing on his decades of experience, he explains the tactics Satan uses to ensnare souls, the signs of diabolical disturbances, and the role of exorcists in discerning and liberating the afflicted. Through lessons from Scripture, the saints, and Church tradition, Fr. Amorth equips you with time-tested prayers, insights on spiritual warfare, and ways to remain secure in God’s care. Above all, he reveals how Christ’s victory over evil assures our triumph when we put on the armor of God.

Get Behind Me Satan

This powerful book reveals how the saints, by God’s grace, have triumphed over the forces of darkness and now stand ready to help you do the same. Through inspiring stories of their supernatural gifts, courage, and intercession, you’ll learn why demons fear Our Lady, which saints are most often invoked in exorcisms, and how their holy presence drives evil away. With practical insights, prayers, and guidance, these “seasoned warriors” will equip you to overcome temptation, grow in virtue, and call on Heaven’s strongest allies in spiritual battles.

The Most Powerful Saints in Exorcisms

Prof. Michael Krom analyzes the ethics of drone warfare through the lens of Aquinas’s just war tradition and virtue ethics, addressing moral principles of discrimination, proportionality, and the indispensability of human judgment in the use of violent technology. This lecture was given on March 18th, 2025, at Virginia Military Institute. For more information on upcoming events, visit us at <a href="https://thomisticinstitute.org/upcoming-events" target="_blank">thomisticinstitute.org/upcoming-events</a>. About the Speakers: Michael Krom started reading Aquinas’s Summa Theologiae shortly after his conversion at the end of college. Upon learning about Flannery O’Connor’s “hillbilly Thomist” habit of reading Aquinas every night, he started studying two articles a day and completed the Summa while in graduate school at Emory University. As a professor at Saint Vincent College, he saw the urgent need for collegians and seminarians to receive a solid foundation in Aquinas’s philosophical theology. In 2020, he published Justice and Charity:&nbsp; An Introduction to Aquinas’s Moral, Economic, and Political Thought (Baker Academic Press), and teaches a Thomistic philosophy course each fall. In addition to continuing work on the moral, economic, and political topics covered in the book, his current research is on the influence of monastic spirituality on Aquinas; he is working on a monograph tentatively entitled Aquinas Among the Benedictines.

Drone Warfare and Just War Theory: Aquinas on the Virtuous Use of Violence I Prof. Michael Krom

In this timeless classic, Fr. Raupert offers a clear and compelling explanation of the Catholic teaching on Hell — what it is, why it exists, and how to avoid it. Drawing on Scripture, the saints, and centuries of theological and philosophical thought, he addresses common objections, exposes the dangers of universalism, and reveals how disbelief in Hell distorts our understanding of God and salvation. You’ll learn how modern science, history, and the natural moral order point to the reality of eternal consequences and why conversion is urgent for eternal happiness.

Hell and Its Problems

Fr. Raoul Plus, S.J. offers a powerful guide to understanding and living the call to reparation — uniting your heart with Christ’s in healing the wounds caused by sin. Through Scripture, Church teaching, and inspiring examples from Our Lady and the saints, you’ll learn why reparation is essential, how to practice it in daily life, and how it draws you deeper into the Sacred Heart and the Holy Eucharist. Complete with prayers, reflections, and Pope Pius XI’s encyclical Miserentissimus Redemptor, this book invites you to share in Christ’s redemptive work and discover lasting joy in Him.

The Power of Reparation

Answering Every Protestant Objection to Mary (Fr. Josémaría) | Ep. 538

Together, with Fr. Mike, we explore the moral conscience. Fr. Mike emphasizes that even though our intellect has been weakened by sin, we still have some sense, our conscience, that tells us that there is a right and wrong. He also emphasizes the difference between our conscience and our passions. Today&#39;s readings are Catechism paragraphs 1776-1782.

Day 238: Our Moral Conscience (2025)

The Catechism gives us an overview of what it means for humans to have freedom, as well as some of the ramifications of that freedom. It introduces us to the countercultural notion that true freedom is to choose the good—the “freedom” to choose evil is merely the abuse of freedom. Fr. Mike ensures that we understand imputability and culpability because questions about intention, ignorance, and other social factors will be the hinges upon which swing the doors of sin. Today’s readings are Catechism paragraphs 1730-1738.

A powerful narrative of courage, sacrifice, and victory, revealing the true meaning behind the Spanish Civil War.

The Plasma Membrane - Boundary and Bridge at the Edge of Life – Prof. Keith Kozminski

Through vivid storytelling and beautiful illustrations, this moving book invites children to encounter the divine power of Jesus as He heals the sick, calms the storms, and restores life. With simple yet profound language, it draws young hearts to see that the same Jesus who spoke with authority long ago is truly present today in the Holy Eucharist. By weaving together the miracles of Christ and the Church’s centuries of faithfulness, it inspires wonder, deepens love for the Blessed Sacrament, and nurtures trust in God’s unfailing power.

When Jesus Speaks

Gratitude is the proper response of children toward their parents. Out of this gratitude comes respect. When we are children at home, this respect includes “true docility and obedience.” Fr. Mike emphasizes respect for parents doesn’t expire when we leave home as adults. Grown children are responsible for caring for and supporting their parents in their old age. As Fr. Mike stresses, this can be the simple but often overlooked phone call to mom or dad. Today’s readings are Catechism paragraphs 2214-2220.

This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

A faith without cutting corners?

Do you think he had a method, a “gimmick” for transmitting his faith?

Is there some aspect of Carlo’s character and personality that predisposed him to teach the Faith with ease?

How do you explain the composure and heroic serenity that transpired from your words in the midst of pain?

In your memory the voice of Carlo emerged.

On the theme of faith and friendship, what about prayer for friends?

“A step in faith is a step closer to being and a step away from having.”

Who transmitted the rudiments of the Faith to Carlo?

So, Carlo drew you into the Faith.

Did Carlo have a plan for his life?

“Faith apart from works is dead” (James 2:26).

How did Carlo live the relationship between innocent suffering and faith?

How did Carlo develop such a Christian sense of pain and suffering?

Can you share with us something about how Carlo prayed?

What was the relation between the Eucharist and Carlo’s prayer?

Do you remember other things Carlo said about the Eucharist?

Transubstantiation.

Participating in daily Mass and adoring the Eucharist.

The sacraments were six + one (the Eucharist).

His contagious, enthusiastic faith.

The path of faith in Christ is never a solitary one; it is trod together.

Some of Carlo’s personality traits that contributed to making his faith so contagious?

“Every minute that passes is one minute fewer that we have to sanctify ourselves.”

Can you tell us something about Carlo’s other human virtues in daily life?

The wrath of God.

The erroneous and yet widespread opinion that Hell is empty.

Besides the sports you mentioned, did Carlo have any hobbies?

What general paradigm in the educational process can you suggest?

What is the importance of the sacrament of Matrimony?

Is there an educational model that inspires you in particular?

This book shares the story of St. Carlo Acutis, a joyful and gifted teenager whose deep love for the Eucharist transformed his family and inspired thousands. Through interviews with his parents and reflections from Carlo’s own writings, readers learn about his daily spiritual practices, virtues, and missionary use of modern media. His example reveals how ordinary life, when lived with extraordinary faith, can lead to holiness and draw others to Christ.
