Prayers, words and writtings of Marthe Robin

For the first time, Marthe Robin's inner journey has been released thanks to the publication of her unabridged "Journal".

In reading the pages of the "Journal", you get an idea of Marthe Robin's attitude to the illness that affected her and the permanent life choice she made at that time: to believe in the love of God and surrender herself to it.

Marthe knew and wanted to believe, against all opposition, that God is good, that he was her Father and that he loved her. Her basic attitude was one of trust in God, certain in the knowledge that she was loved by God even though she was physically and morally broken. Our Lady was always with her in this surrender to God. She was the driving force that energised her and sustained her.

When she wrote this Journal, Marthe had already been fighting the disease for more than 10 years. At the heart of her suffering, the love she received transfigured her life. The confidence, joy and hope, with which these words are infused, open up a path of light for anyone facing adversity.
