Beautiful Holiness: Endorsements

During the nine years I spent in Mexico as Apostolic Nuncio, I discovered with wonder the extraordinary human personality of Conchita Cabrera de Armida, and her unique mystical itinerary. I am sure that the present study of Kathleen Beckman will help many priests, religious and laity to benefit from the witness of her life and from her spirituality of the Cross. Kathleen Beckman presents in a very attractive way the great figure of Conchita to the English-speaking readers.

I have found Conchita’s writings to be very personally formative and I believe critical for the people of today. Her reflections on priesthood have greatly inspired me and she is a must-read for every priest! Kathleen Beckman does an excellent job of capturing  Conchita’s thoughts which ultimately come from the heart of God.

Blessed Conchita is one of my favorite mystics! I have always found her insights into the Eucharist, the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Our Lady, St. Joseph, and the spiritual life to be profound and emanating from a place of deep prayer. I am delighted that Kathleen Beckman has written this inspired work on the mysticism of Blessed Conchita. The book will lead readers closer to the Heart of Jesus, our Savior.

Kathleen Beckman wrote in the preface of her new book Beautiful Holiness: A Spiritual Journey with Conchita to the Heart of Jesus that “there are others in Conchita’s spiritual family who would do a finer work.” I disagree. Kathleen has done a stellar job of presenting the life and spiritual legacy of Blessed Conchita Cabrera de Armida, Mexican wife,  mother, mystic and foundress. The exquisite title says it all. You will not be disappointed. You will be captivated, drawn in, enthralled by Blessed Conchita as she leads you in your spiritual journey to the Heart of Jesus.

Belonging to the blood family of Blessed Conchita; having met her sons, daughters, and grandchildren; and being a witness to the Process of Canonization, I have been blessed. It’s a privilege to contribute my memories and knowledge about Conchita, a holy wife and mother, mystic and apostle. Kathleen Beckman has done a great work in presenting Blessed Conchita’s life and spirituality to the English-speaking world. In reading this book, you will discover Conchita throughout these pages, and thus, you will find Jesus speaking to you.

The book, “Beautiful Holiness” will assuredly contribute to the spiritual life of the Church. I believe this work will inspire readers already familiar with the mystic Blessed Concepción Cabrera de Armida to appreciate her in a deeper way and will open new possibilities for spiritual growth to those who are not yet acquainted with this wife and mother known as Conchita. Kathleen Beckman offers insightful reflections on Bl. Conchita’s mystical writings making this book a joy to read and study.
