MARTHE ROBIN, MYSTIC AND VICTIM SOUL

On February 6, 1981, the French mystic Marthe Robin died in Chateauneuf-de-Galaure.

BEDRIDDEN FOR FIFTY YEARS

Marthe was born on March 13, 1902 in Châteauneuf-de-Galaure. From a farming background, Marthe became permanently bedridden in her early twenties. The disease she suffered from was never clearly established, but she had had typhoid fever before she became ill. For 50 years she lay crookedly in her suffering bed in the dark (light allergy).

A STIGMATIST

A stigmatist and foundress of the Foyers de charité ("Charity Homes") association, she consumed no solid food for many years but the Holy Eucharist, which she received regularly.

A SPIRITUAL MOTHER TO MANY

She became a spiritual mother to many and was a major driving force in the renewal of the Church in France.
