Living Devotions

“Mary Moschella has woven together a reverent and riveting testimony to the devotional practices of Italian and Sicilian immigrants that manages to honor the sacredness of their individual stories while also adding a deeper appreciation of these stories by seeing them through pastoral theological lenses and her own cultural context. This allows her to identify with remarkable acuity and sensitivity the interdependence of immigration, identity, and religious imagination. This text will appeal to pastoral theologian, historian, anthropologist, and liturgist alike, whether Roman Catholic or Protestant. Mary Moschella's ability to both capture and transcend the stories of a particular community of faith lends itself to a far-ranging audience. The book is a delectable feast for the soul, reminiscent of the St Joseph's table of which she so respectfully writes. Her writing, like the table, encapsulates the richness, abundance, hospitality, faith, enjoyment, hard work, connections, and ethnic pride of a people.”

“A must-read. . . . Canales writes in language that we can all understand. A great resource to be referred to over and over again. You cannot read this book without coming away with new knowledge, perspective, insights, and appreciation for LGBTQ youth, and how to better understand and appreciate them, especially those who are Christian/Catholic.”
