God's Works Revealed

Spirituality, Theology, and Social Justice for Gay, Lesbian, and Bisexual Catholics

By: Albano, Sam

God’s Works Revealed presents a compelling, challenging, and joyful vision for living as a lesbian, gay, or bisexual Catholic today by accepting the divine gift of our sexuality and seeking to live the promises of our baptism. It draws from the deep well of traditional theology, Catholic teaching, and Sacred Scripture while also challenging assumptions that exclude LGB Catholics from the possibility of sexual expression, married life, and participation in the life of the Church. “Informed by theology and formed by the worship of the Church, Albano…engages in serious study and draws on some of the best thought on scripture and natural law theology that has formed his Church’s teaching on homosexuality and homosexual actions. He presents not so much a dismissal of what the Church teaches as a critical engagement with that teaching that will point out its insufficiencies and calls for further refinement and reflection. He insists that his experience and that of other gay and lesbian Catholics be taken seriously.” —from the foreword “After more than fifty years of ministry on behalf of LGBT Catholics, I have seen considerable developments in Christian understandings about sexuality and gender, which are challenging topics for politicians and Catholics alike. Written from the heart of a faith-filled Catholic gay man who is not a politician, these pages push sexual politics aside and speak to our heads and hearts in a sensible and compelling way. We’ll see with new eyes the gifts that persons of various sexual orientations bring to the Church. I recommend this book for all the people of God who are walking the path of synodality with Pope Francis.” —Jeannine Gramick, SL, author, and cofounder of New Ways Ministry for LGBT Catholics “God’s Works Revealed offers a respectful, well-argued critique of official teachings on homosexuality and the impact on the physical and spiritual lives of LGBTQI people. It is a deeply loving, thoughtful, and ultimately, hopeful dialogue between a gay Catholic and the Church that could open pathways to needed change. Here, you will find truths that speak to your soul.” —Marianne Duddy?Burke, executive director of DignityUSA

Bashful Lucy

Bashful Lucy

By: Eugenio Michael Albano

“Bashful Lucy” is inspired by the true life story of Lucy Albano and told by a son who was privy to many of the secrets that had not even been revealed to his five older sisters. The story tells of a love affair that grew out of an 'arranged marriage.' It chronicles the incredible life of a woman who raised seven children and went on to become an entrepreneur that had bankers standing tall in her presence long before "women's lib" was even a known expression in American society. The author has chosen to use names for his characters that gives more ethnicity to the families and his story. Lucy's mother was an "Aiello" before marriage, however. But the Santosi name is a product of his imagination; it’s called “literary license!”

The Other Marconi

By: Eugenio Michael Albano

E. M. Albano has once again beautifully captured the life of Italian immigrants in the early twentieth century. He follows his father from Calabria, where he immigrated to the United States with his family, and describes the joy, tradition, values, familial loyalty, and love that helped these Italian-Americans succeed in the New World. I enjoyed every page, and it brought back many wonderful memories of my own youth with Italian immigrant parents (Carmen Finestra, executive producer and cocreator of the situation comedy Home Improvement).

Waves of Glory

By: Peter Albano

Waves of Glory follows four British men of privilege watching the decimation of their generation in the trenches of the World War I battlefields. As the soldiers try to cope with the blood, violence, and death all around them, their world falls apart and nothing seems real except the overwhelming urgency of survival. The home front is no less compelling, as Albano illustrates the pain and uncertainty of waiting for the daily casualty lists that might include a brother, father, lover, or husband. The emotional energy of the men, the women they love, and their comrades in arms brings home the lessons that were arduously learned yet quickly forgotten in the “war to end all wars.”

The Letters of Peter Mitchell

The Letters of Peter Mitchell

By: E. M. Albano

The Letters of Peter Mitchell" is a story that was conceived more than forty years ago when a young soldier from Fort Dix did wander into New York City on a weekend pass and did meet another young soldier who was planning to spend a weekend with a woman who could have been mistaken for his mother or a sweet old aunt. The picture that he saw before him was sad, if not pathetic. That 'chance meeting' led the young soldier from Ft. Dix to carry the memory and expand upon it during his thirty month tour of duty in France. The story could be read as somewhat autobiographical. There is a hand-knit mohair sweater in the author's cedar chest, only worn on special occasions. But we must remember that this is a novel...a work of fiction.
