Marthe Robin
O Beloved Mother
you who know so well
the ways of holiness and love,
teach us to raise often
our minds and hearts to the Trinity,
to fix our respectful
and loving attention.
And since you walk with us
on the path of eternal life
do not remain a stranger to the weak pilgrims
pilgrims whom your charity wishes to welcome.
Turn your merciful eyes towards us.
Draw us into your light,
inundate us with your sweets.
Carry us into Light and Love.
Carry us ever further
and high into the splendours of heaven.
May nothing ever disturb our peace
or take us away from the mind of God,
but may each minute take us further
into the depths of the august mystery
until the day when our soul
fully opened to the illumination
of divine union,
will see all things in eternal Love
and in Unity.

Born on 13 March 1902 in Châteauneuf-de-Galaure and died on 6 February 1981, Marthe Robin was a French Catholic mystic. Crossing the 20th century, Marthe Robin radiates a love that transfigures her existence. In 79 years of a life marked by illness and progressive paralysis of her entire body, she testifies that love is stronger than suffering. Over the years, more than 100,000 visitors have flocked to her bedside, touched by her loving, attentive heart, which makes God present and leads to him, quite simply.
Marthe has suffered much and long: for 63 years, the encephalitis that struck her progressed in periods, then seemed to lose ground before a new outbreak left her sicker than before. Little by little, word spreads that, in this dark room on a farm in the Drôme, a young mystic kindly welcomes everyone's worries and trials, offering advice and encouragement. Crowds flock to the room. Martha transforms her pain into empathy for others, and her visitors come to her for consolation. Many of them even live an authentic experience of conversion.
Marthe Robin has never been able to leave the room of her native house in Châteauneuf-de Galaure. Yet even today, thousands of people all over the world are inspired by her example and find in the spiritual path she opened a nourishment for their lives. A paradox that can be likened to that of Saint Thérèse of the Child Jesus (the "Little Thérèse" of Lisieux) who, never having left her convent, became the patron saint of missionaries.
From the outside, Martha's life seems useless and, even worse, absurd. But she is transfigured by love, received from her union with God and generously given to others. She is at the origin of an immense work, of which the Foyers de Charité are the most visible part, perpetuating the mission of simply and warmly welcoming those who seek a halt to find the meaning of their lives. In Marthe Robin, it was in weakness and fragility that the power of God was deployed.
Here are a few prayers from Marthe Robin.
