She cannot resist a child’s trust

Father Faure (1873-1955), pastor of Chateauneuf-de-Galaure, a small village in the Drôme department (France), wrote in one of his notebooks that in November 1922, Marthe Robin received the mystical “wound of Love.” This is his testimony:

"In the early days of November 1922, Marthe was wounded by love in front of the altar of the Virgin Mary... Her whole life, her daily activities on the farm, became permeated with Marian grace."

Faure also quotes Marthe speaking about the Blessed Virgin:

"I really like to leave everything in the hands of this tender and beloved mother, whose protection is increasingly felt by her child. In order not to see my confidence surpassed by the blessings of the Blessed Virgin, I must hope for her unlimited blessings.

With the help of the Blessed Virgin, I would like to transform my natural life into a life completely supernatural and divine. I will be able to do all things, once I learn to let her help me and if I pray to her with the confidence of a child that she cannot resist.

O my Mother, reign on my soul! Make Jesus reign in me! I place in your blessed hands all the actions of my life, so that they may be presented to my King and Lord Jesus."

Father Dominique Bostyn
