This is not a book for the faint of heart, but it IS a book for the soul seeking to love God more, and seeking an image of the soul truly inibriated with the love of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. As for me, I am in love with the Eucharist-- but must often admit that my love falls short of the level of abandonment, sacrifice,and suffering of a true lover. This book is a series of meditations or prayers before the Blessed Sacrament, and I must admit, when I read them, I often find myself saying "Lord, this is what I WISH I could sincerely say-- but I am not there yet,please help me to someday say this prayer from my heart"--particularly when the prayer includes a longing for more suffering or renunciation or humiliation. For the advanced soul, Conchita puts into words the love and longing of the soul completely dedicated to God without reserve. For a lesser soul like myself, she offers a vision of what we'd like to be when we, someday, hopefully, mature in the spiritual life. I use this book for holy hours before the Blessed Sacrament, and also as a preparation for Mass. Sometimes a single sentence will be enough to meditate on for a long time. It is a very rich, beautiful book that bears rereading over and over. I bought mine a year ago and it is tattered and dog-eared. Remember: it can be read in different ways by persons at different levels.

I have no words for the beauty of this book. The words, the praises, the prayers, the relationship that Concepcion has with our Lord is breathtaking. To be able to just read her love while at Adoration is an incredible blessing. It made my heart sing and pray to know the Lord in a manner such as this.

i love this book
