The book begins with my work on Conchita, the Mexican mystic whose writings became a deep source of consolation and inspiration during the painful period in which I uncovered the truth about the Sodalicio. From there, the journey moves into my engagement with David Tombs’s perspective on Jesus as a victim. His theological insights were pivotal for my own theological journey and healing, opening a way for me to understand Jesus’ victimhood not as passive suffering but as a transformative revelation of God’s solidarity with those who are wounded. Tombs’s work offered me a lens through which I could begin to theologize from the experience and perspective of survivors themselves.
This journey then led me back to a renewed engagement with Latin American liberation theology, which strengthened my voice as a woman, a survivor, and a Latin American theologian. Gradually, my academic and pastoral attention focused on the abuse of religious sisters, culminating in research, international workshops, and the Kuibuka initiative.
The volume will close with more recent works, including a chapter on women and synodality, expressing my hope for a Church transformed by truth, justice, and women’s leadership.
