Concepcion Cabrera de Armida (1862-1937) was a mother of nine when her husband died. It was not an easy life; she lived in Mexico City, and the Mexican Revolution began nine years after her husband’s death. Undoubtedly, she asked the Lord for many graces during those years. This is the response she received: “Ask me for a long life suffering life and to write a lot. .. That’s your mission on earth.” And so it was. Conchita, as she was known, left tens of thousands of pages of religious writings, and was beatified in 2019.

While I find every holy person’s life compelling, I’m looking forward to learning more about Conchita and her writings this month.

What’s on your nightstand?
