Biography

Blessed Rafaela Ybarra Arambarri De Villalonga was born on January 16, 1843, in Bilbao, Vizcaya, Spain, into a wealthy and pious family. Her parents, Gutiérrez de Cabiedes and Rosaria de Arambarri y Mancebo, instilled in her a deep religious faith from an early age. Rafaela demonstrated her piety by making her first Communion at the tender age of 11 and frequently engaging in long meditations on the suffering of Christ.
