At a critical moment in my life, I found myself, through friends’ recommendations, at a six days silence retreat in Cuernavaca’s Foyer de Charite, Mexico. On the third day, a participant knocked at my door and offered me a book : Marthe Robin. "Une femme d’esperance pour le XXIeme siecle".
Without knowing much about her, except being the spiritual force behind the foundation of the Foyer, I read her story.
While I was lost and finding all the answers about myself and my life through Christ, Marthe Robin’s voice spoke to me that night saying, “it is good work to dedicate you thoughts and work to Christ, but do not forget His mother the Virgin Mary…”
Since then, I embraced Mary in my daily prayers.
Marthe Robin’s divine intercession is God’s precious gift to me.
David, Los Angeles.
