Her legacy

Many founders acknowledge the importance of having met Marthe and the impact it had on their discernment as they came in large numbers to discern the calling of the Lord with her. Included in the latter are the founders of the following communities:

Just after founding the Emmanuel Community, Pierre Goursat went to see Marthe. He needed some help in his discernment, because he did not want to take on the leadership of the Emmanuel Community as he was being asked to do by the first members of the community. Marthe's common sense and humour hit the nail on the head: « Say yes », she said, « when you will no longer be needed, they will find a way of telling you!» Later, when the Emmanuel Community settled in Paray-le-Monial, she was the one who insisted that this location should not become the centre of the community, but its... heart.
The postulator of the cause of beatification of Marthe, Fr Bernard Peyrous, came from the Emmanuel Community: when he was discerning whether to accept this mission, his moderator told him :« Say yes! We owe her so much in the Community, this is the least we can do for her.»

Just a few miles from Châteauneuf-de-Galaure, in Lyon, the young Jesuit Laurent Fabre heard about Marthe Robin and paid her a visit, like many priests. The mystic would play an important role in the discernment for the founding of the Chemin Neuf Community. In particular, she spoke the following words to Fr Fabre, who was telling her about the charism of Pentecost of his group: “You must blow on the fire and, what's more, you will pass through it”.
