Prayers, words and writtings of Marthe Robin

Every Thursday evening, from the 1930s until her death in 1981, Marthe Robin consented to relive Jesus' passion, death and resurrection. She left several notebooks describing what she lived and prayed every week.
Drawing inspiration from the story of the Sorrowful Passion by Anne-Catherine Emmerich, Marthe wrote a text that focuses on Jesus the Saviour. In writing these meditations, she did not claim to reproduce historical truth. She only said, "I do not say that it happened this way; this is how Jesus showed it to me."

The first notebook covers the events of Holy Thursday, from the preparation of the Last Supper to the departure of Jesus with his apostles to Gethsemane.
The second covers the passions of Marthe Robin recounted by the parish priest of Châteauneuf, Fr Faure.
The third volume follows Jesus from his arrest at Gethsemane to his death on Good Friday.
Other volumes will soon be published...

Between 1933 and 1938, Fr Léon Faure, parish priest of Châteauneuf de Galaure (Drôme), faithfully recounted the words he heard on Friday when Marthe Robin relived the Passion of Jesus.

Reading these simple and straightforward notes is like entering the prayer of Marthe on Friday. Rather than being languid and sorrowful, the prayer is vigorous and intense: "May I die, so that they may have life!” Peppered with humble details of the daily life of a country priest at that time, these notes are relatable, thanks to their simplicity.
