Marthe Robin (13 March 1902 in Châteauneuf-de-Galaure, Drôme, France – 6 February 1981 in Châteauneuf-de-Galaure) was a French Roman Catholic mystic and stigmatist[1][2] and foundress of the Foyers de charité ("Charity homes") association. She became bedridden when she was 21 and remained so until her death.[3] According to witnesses she ate nothing for many years apart from receiving Holy Eucharist.[4][5]
A file of documents supporting Robin's beatification was submitted to the diocesan authorities in 1987, and transmitted to the Vatican in 1996.[6] On 6 May 2010 a "Positio" was signed in Rome by the Congregation for the Causes of Saints. This file was made up of all the documents that support Robin's reputation for holiness. It culminated in her recognition for heroic virtues on 7 November 2014.[7]
