Resumen: Concepción Cabrera de Armida nació durante la guerra civil subsecuente a la promulgación de las Leyes de Reforma. A lo largo de su vida desarrolló una espiritualidad basada en prácticas de penitencia corporal que ponían su existencia en peligro. En un contexto de construcción nacional moderna, caracterizado por la crítica cada vez más aguda del papel tradicional de la Iglesia católica, el misticismo de Cabrera de Armida no sólo representó un ejercicio introspectivo individual con connotaciones mórbidas sino que, durante el periodo revolucionario y posrevolucionario, participó en la redención colectiva a modo de desafío de la prohibición a las mujeres de acceder al sacerdocio. Palabras clave: misticismo femenino, prácticas penitenciales, Revolución Mexicana, fundaciones religiosas, renovación cristiana.Abstract: Concepción Cabrera de Armida was born during the civil war after the proclamation of the Reform laws. Throughout her life, she developed a spirituality based on corporal penitential practices that put her life in danger. In the context of modern national construction characterized by the increasingly acute criticism of the traditional Catholic Church's role, Concepción Cabrera de Armida's mysticism not only represented an individual introspective exercise with morbid connotation. During the revolutionary and post-revolutionary period, she took part in collective redemption as a way of transcending the prohibition on women to enter priesthood.
