Here is the fascinating life and compelling spirituality of María Concepción Cabrera de Armida (1862-1937), now Blessed Conchita, presented for the first time by an American author. This saintly Mexican wife and mother of nine children experienced a "mystical life...comparable to that of St. Teresa of Ávila," according to Cardinal Raniero Cantalamessa, preacher of the Papal Household. Author Kathleen Beckman shows how Blessed Conchita -- who founded a religious community for women and one for men and published forty-six books and sixty-six diary volumes -- modeled the heroic fortitude you need to live out your vocation. Her heroic life experience and mystical writings show how to dispose yourself for deep conversion and transformation in Christ. Stirring excerpts from Blessed Conchita's writings reveal her great love and her profound spiritual insights for priests, religious, and married people alike. Passages describing Jesus' personal and prophetic words to Blessed Conchita and her compelling eucharistic reflections are enhanced with explanations of how they relate to your life. You will learn about Blessed Conchita's vision of the Cross, her spiritual marriage with Christ, her numerous mystical encounters, and the vows she professed -- all while living a domestic life. You will also be enthralled by the miraculous physical healing, through Blessed Conchita's intercession, of a young father with a mysterious debilitating illness. Blessed Conchita will hearten and mentor you as you learn: * The two "levers" that Jesus assured Blessed Conchita sustain the life of the spirit * The six facets of Blessed Conchita's "school of prayer" * The seven "warrior virtues" to employ when spiritually attacked * The fourteen rules of the "Chain of Love," the practical and profitable spiritual program Jesus gave to Blessed Conchita * Numerous methods for enkindling your relationship with the Holy Spirit
Autorenporträt
Priests are called to fight evil, but they cannot fight it alone. As attacks on the priesthood intensify, you have a vital role to play in supporting priestly renewal and vocations. Those men who have answered God's call depend upon you to wield the most powerful weapon against the evil one: prayer.In this newly revised 2018 edition, celebrated retreat master and author Kathleen Beckman addresses the current abuse crisis facing the Church. She offers Church-approved ways in which you can contribute to the welfare of the Church. Priests, seminarians, consecrated religious, and laypeople will all benefit from insights into the indispensability of the Catholic priesthood, the mission of praying for priests in the context of the New Evangelization, testimonies of spiritual mothers and priests, and scriptural rosaries dedicated to priests, vocations, and reparation. Although both men and women are responsible for priestly renewal, Kathleen explains the special vocation of spiritual motherhood of priests. This vocation is embedded with graces that enable women to work together with Our Lady and the Holy Spirit for the sanctification of priests.Holier priests lead to a holier Church. Because prayer is a source of grace and the mother of all virtues, you can call down showers of graces upon the priesthood. The Church and her priests need your prayers now more than ever, and here you'll find your special calling from God that must be fulfilled for the salvation of souls.Included in this new edition are features, prayers, and topics such as: Expanded Chapter of Prayers, Devotions, Spiritual Practices.Lectio Divina at the end of each chapter.Current Crisis in Church: A Spiritual Battle Begs a Spiritual Response.The Ars Model: Priests, Warfare, Victory.The Urgency for the Salvation of Souls."For Such a Time as This" (Esther 4:14).Holy Orders: Necessity, Beauty, Challenge.Priests Affect Our Growth in Holiness.Mary, Priests, and Spiritual Motherhood.The Role of the Laity.The Church's Vision.Rosary Reflections, Stations of the Cross, and Litanies of Reparation.Imprimatur and Nihil Obstat.
