Readers who have enjoyed Conchita: A Mother's Spiritual Diary (Alba House) will profit greatly from this remarkable collection of letters to her family. Conchita was not a cloistered religious or hermit writing in tranquility. She was a busy wife, mother, and grandmother who lived during one of the most turbulent times in Mexican history -- an age of religious persecution, revolution and economic depression. The mother of nine children, a widow and a professed religious, her life of continuous and intimate relationship with the Lord was expressed in the five "Works of the Cross" (religious congregations and associations) that she inspired and the many remarkable books that she wrote expressing her profound devotion to Jesus in the Eucharist. These letters express not only her spiritual wisdom but also her warm, human side as she lovingly guides, advises, and rejoices with the members of her family, in good times and in bad. |
The Servant of God, Concepción Cabrera de Armida, better known as
Conchita, was born in San Luis Potosi on December 8, 1862 and died
in Mexico, D.F. on March 3, 1937. Some 500,000 copies of her books were distributed anonymously
throughout Europe and America during her lifetime and today continue to inflame hearts in the
love of Jesus and the ardent desire to collaborate in the salvation of the world. Wife, mother
and lay apostle, the cause for her beatification is well under way today. Along with Conchita:
A Mother's Spiritual Diary Alba House has also published these works of hers:
I Am: Eucharistic Meditations on the Gospel and
Irresistibly Drawn to the Eucharist: Conchita Cabrera de Armida's Most Beautiful Writings
on the Eucharist.
