Sister Marie Marthe Chambon, Chambery, France 1871-1907

Status: Cause for Beatification opened in 1937.

…"When you offer My Holy Wounds for sinners, you must not forget to do so for the souls in Purgatory, as there are but few who think of their relief. The Holy Wounds are the treasure of treasures for the souls in Purgatory."

"The benefit of the Holy Wounds makes graces come down from Heaven, and Holy Souls come up onto Heaven….The Holy Wounds are the treasure of treasures for the Souls in Purgatory."

Extract from revelations made to Sr. Marie Marthe Chambon on the Holy Wounds of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

[Start Quote] “OUR LORD would find pleasure in training Sr. Marie Marthe to her mission, by giving her almost daily a kind of "Catechism of the Holy Wounds", catechism on which she had to report to her Superior; following are some echoes of them:  Devotion to the Holy Wounds is grounded upon the most solid foundations: the infinite merits of the Savior. “My daughter, do you recognize the treasure of the world?" "When you offer my Divine Wounds to my Father, you earn an immense fortune….You should not remain poor... Your wealth?... It is my holy Passion. This treasure belongs to you…My Father takes pleasure in the offering of my Holy Wounds... offering them to Him is offering Him his own glory, it is offering Heaven to Heaven!…My Holy Wounds support the world." This devotion presents itself as surrounded by the most encouraging promises. “I shall grant all what will be requested to me through the invocation to my Holy Wounds. You need to spread this devotion….You shall obtain all things, because it is the merit of my Blood which is of an infinite price…With my Wounds and my Divine Heart, you can obtain all things…From my Wounds come out fruits of holiness." "My Wounds shall repair yours." This devotion contains precious advantages for the detail of daily life. "When you experience some sorrow, or have something to suffer, you need to bring it hastily into my Wounds, and your sorrow shall be softened….Offer me your actions... united to my Holy Wounds, there are incomprehensible riches, even into the least ones." You need to have recourse to it in favor of the Sick. "You have to often repeat before the sick this invocation: "My Jesus, pardon and mercy, through the merits of thy Holy Wounds! "This prayer shall soothe both the soul and body."

 In Favor of the Dying: "It is necessary to expire while kissing these sacred Wounds…There shall be no death for the soul who will expire in my Wounds: they give true life." "The way of my Wounds is so simple, so easy to reach Heaven!..."

 In Favor of Sinners: "My Wounds shall cover all your faults." "Offer them to me often for sinners, for: I thirst for souls….The sinner who will say the following prayer: "Eternal Father, I offer thee the Wounds of Our Lord Jesus Christ to heal those of our souls", shall obtain is own conversion…With every word of the Chaplet of Mercy you pronounce, I let a drop of my blood drip on the soul of a sinner….This Chaplet of Mercy balances my Justice, it stops my vengeance."

  In favor of the Souls in Purgatory: "The benefit of the Holy Wounds makes graces come down from Heaven, and Holy Souls come up onto Heaven….The Holy Wounds are the treasure of treasures for the Souls in Purgatory."

 In Favor of the Church: "My daughter, you need to properly fulfill you task, which is to offer my divine Wounds to me in Favor of Sinners. "My Wounds shall cover all your faults." "Offer them to me often for sinners, for: I thirst for souls….The sinner who will say the following prayer: "Eternal Father, I offer thee the Wounds of Our Lord Jesus Christ to heal those of our souls", shall obtain his conversion". "With every word of the Chaplet of Mercy you pronounce, I let a drop of my blood drip on the soul of a sinner….This Chaplet of Mercy balances my Justice, it stops my vengeance….I would like to see all my Spouses be "Crucifixes." "My daughter, look at my crown, and you shall see mortification, -my hands stretched out, and you shall learn obedience, -you shall understand poverty when you see me all unclothed on the Cross, -Purity in the One who is so pure and who loves you as your Spouse! "Everywhere, you will find Wounds in your Spouse." "This is where those I have chosen and who want to attain glory must walk." "I want you to be a standing victim!"  Nihil obstat: John A. Schulien, Censor Librorum; Milwaukee, WI, 2 May 1956. Imprimatur: +Albertus G. Meyer, Archbishop of Milwaukee, 1 May 1956. [End Quote]

 Our Lord, Undated: "My daughter, behold the world's treasure. The world does not want to recognize it. Here is something that can pay all debts", and He taught her this prayer which she pledged herself to say lovingly every ten minutes "Eternal Father, I offer you the wounds of Our Lord Jesus Christ, to heal those of our souls" (Taken from Vie de la soeur Marie-Marthe Chambon, (Chambery 1928), pp. 62 and 63)

 Our Lord, undated: “Come to My Wounds with hearts burning with love, and make the aspirations with great fervor that you may obtain the graces and favors you desire. Come to this wound in My Side; it is the Wound of Love from which issue flames of fire" "You must pray that the knowledge of My Sacred Wounds may spread in the world…(As He said these words, Sr. Mary Martha saw five luminous rays of glory issue from the Wounds of Christ, and envelop the globe.)…My Holy Wounds sanctify souls and insure their spiritual advancement...Offer Me your actions united to My Sacred Wounds, and even the smallest will have an incomprehensible value…Offer them often to Me for sinners because I thirst for souls. At each word of the invocation that you utter, I will let a drop of My Blood fall upon the soul of a sinner….When you offer My Holy Wounds for sinners, you must not forget to do so for the souls in Purgatory, as there are but few who think of their relief. The Holy Wounds are the treasure of treasures for the souls in Purgatory."

Given by Our Lord to Marie Martha Chambon (1842 –1907)
