Maria of the Conception was born on April 25, 1905 in Palma de Mallorca (Balearic Islands, Spain). She had everything you could want: wealth, comfort, influence in society... passionate about reading, cinema and sports. At the age of 22 she fell radically in love with Jesus. She entered Carmel the following year. For Him she left everything. Right from the first moment, she imbued herself with holiness by observing the Rule and the Constitutions, with a constant and increasing effort «without mitigation, until death».

She consecrated herself to the Heart of Jesus and in him made her dwelling place. There she found unalterable peace and joy of heart, changing her will and comfort to collaborate in the redemptive work of her Beloved.

A mirror of humility and total forgetfulness of self; a good mother to all, always willing to help others in any need, she hid in the night of common life up to making her generous donation connatural and sweet. Her tranquillity was easily noticed, it radiated peace around her. 

After living 70 «immensely happy» years in Carmel, she gave her soul to God at the age of 93, on February 7, 1999. Her death was accompanied by signs and graces.

The Diocesan Inquiry into her «Life, Virtue and Reputation for Holiness» was opened on December 21, 2009 in the Diocese of Mallorca.
