A wife and mother reaches spiritual heights

I very much like reading books by Teresa of Avila and St. John of the Cross. "Conchita" was recommended to me because she is in their category, and yet she was a wife and mother of eight children. To the eyes of those who knew her, she was devout, peaceful and ordinary, but no one was aware of the spiritual heights and intimacy with the Lord she was experiencing. At the end of the book there are many pages that give a glimpse into the depth of her mystical writings. This book is encouraging to those who live in the world and who may think that holiness is attained by only those who are hidden away in monasteries.
