\r\n\tZenit \u2013 What was Marthe's teaching about the New Evangelisation?<\/span><\/h3>\t<\/div>\r\n\r\nFr Peyrous<\/strong> \u2013 Marthe is one of the people who initiated this notion of the \"New Evangelisation\". She was utterly convinced that the world needed a \"New Pentecost of Love\", according to the term used by John XXIII and John Paul II. Marthe felt the need to make things change, of not remaining in the ecclesiastical system as it was. She prayed that there would be a \"new outpouring of the Spirit\" upon the world. She prayed a lot, especially at the time of the Second Vatican Council. She supported more than 20 new communities. She worked with all her strength for the renewal of the Church.<\/p>\r\n\tSo she talked a lot about it?<\/span><\/h3>\t<\/div>\r\n\r\nIt was one of the subjects that was very important to her. She thought, in particular, that the work of evangelisation should not be reserved for so-called specialists, i.e. priests and missionaries... but that every baptised Christian must reveal the presence of Jesus wherever they may be. This was a radical idea at the time.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\t\n\t\r\nFaith is a gift from God, you do not give yourself faith, you ask for it...<\/p><\/blockquote><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n\t\n\t\r\n\tIn what terms did she speak about the faith?<\/span><\/h3>\t<\/div>\r\n\r\nShe was unquestionably a \"woman of faith\". She had an extraordinary sense of the work of God in souls, in the Church and in the world.<\/p>
\"Faith is a gift from God, you do not give yourself faith, you ask for it... ,\" she said.\u00a0\u00a0 Moreover, she never dissociated faith from hope and charity. For her, charity is the centre of the life of a Christian, as she affirmed, \"Outside of love, everything else is nothing. \u00bb. And she lived in profound hope: it must be remembered that Marthe lived in very desperate times. There were many threats to the world and the Church. More than 100,000 people came to see her in her room, on the hills of Ch\u00e2teauneuf de Galaure. She comforted them and gave them renewed hope\u2026<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n\t\n\t\r\nSome people think that they have lost their faith, but it is just buried in the ashes. You need to blow on them to rekindle the flames.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n\t\n\t\r\n\tDo you continue to receive testimonies from people who knew Marthe or whose prayers have been answered through her intercession?<\/span><\/h3>\t<\/div>\r\n\r\nA great deal. We have several metres of archives at Ch\u00e2teauneuf de Galaure! Even after 30 years, people who knew her continue to write to us.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n\t\n\t\r\n\tOn the occasion of the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes, which is approaching, we remember that Marthe was also very ill... How did she accept her illness?<\/span><\/h3>\t<\/div>\r\n\r\nIt was not easy for her. Marthe went on a spiritual journey lasting 10 years to answer, little by little, the major question that hung over her: \"What will I do with my life given the state I am in?\u201d This did not happen without a struggle, she experienced periods of discouragement and revolt. This continued until a retreat preached by some Capuchin monks in 1928, when her life changed: she was confirmed in her mission, she understood that she could offer her illness to the world.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n\t\n\t\r\n\tSo she found a meaning for her suffering?<\/span><\/h3>\t<\/div>\r\n\r\nShe succeeded in integrating her illness within her vocation. She understood, in a very deep and intimate way, that the worst pain and greatest suffering, if lived in love, can be a place of evangelisation and progress for the Church and for the world.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n\t\n\t\r\n\"In this world, physical activity has been denied me, but Jesus has given me the capacity to be active through prayer, to love through suffering and unknown sacrifices. To the world, it appears pointless, but in the eyes of God, how fruitful it is.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Zenit \u2013 What was Marthe's teaching about the New Evangelisation?<\/span><\/h3>\t<\/div>\r\n\r\nFr Peyrous<\/strong> \u2013 Marthe is one of the people who initiated this notion of the \"New Evangelisation\". She was utterly convinced that the world needed a \"New Pentecost of Love\", according to the term used by John XXIII and John Paul II. Marthe felt the need to make things change, of not remaining in the ecclesiastical system as it was. She prayed that there would be a \"new outpouring of the Spirit\" upon the world. She prayed a lot, especially at the time of the Second Vatican Council. She supported more than 20 new communities. She worked with all her strength for the renewal of the Church.<\/p>\r\n\tSo she talked a lot about it?<\/span><\/h3>\t<\/div>\r\n\r\nIt was one of the subjects that was very important to her. She thought, in particular, that the work of evangelisation should not be reserved for so-called specialists, i.e. priests and missionaries... but that every baptised Christian must reveal the presence of Jesus wherever they may be. This was a radical idea at the time.<\/p><\/div>\n
\n\t<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\t\n\t\r\nFaith is a gift from God, you do not give yourself faith, you ask for it...<\/p><\/blockquote><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n\t\n\t\r\n\tIn what terms did she speak about the faith?<\/span><\/h3>\t<\/div>\r\n\r\nShe was unquestionably a \"woman of faith\". She had an extraordinary sense of the work of God in souls, in the Church and in the world.<\/p>
\"Faith is a gift from God, you do not give yourself faith, you ask for it... ,\" she said.\u00a0\u00a0 Moreover, she never dissociated faith from hope and charity. For her, charity is the centre of the life of a Christian, as she affirmed, \"Outside of love, everything else is nothing. \u00bb. And she lived in profound hope: it must be remembered that Marthe lived in very desperate times. There were many threats to the world and the Church. More than 100,000 people came to see her in her room, on the hills of Ch\u00e2teauneuf de Galaure. She comforted them and gave them renewed hope\u2026<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
