Holy Presence, Holy Preaching

“Maria Teresa Montes Lara and Vincent Pastro offer a refreshing and consoling combination of ‘theology on its knees,’ the wisdom of pastoral practice, and the rich traditions of the Church as they contemplate the power and efficacy of our Lady of Guadalupe who, guided by the Spirit, continues to mediate grace among the poor and marginal. She animates the Hispanic-Latino community by encouraging people to realize their baptismal dignity, preaching in word and action the life given them as the daughters and sons of God.”
