Marie Martha Chambon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marie Martha Chambon (1841-1907) was a lay Roman Catholic Sister of the Monastery of the Visitation Order who lived in Chambery, France. She is in the process of canonization by the Roman Catholic Church.
She reported visions of Jesus Christ appearing to her and teaching her specific prayers and meditations on His wounds.[1] Some of her prayers have received the imprimatur of Archbishop Albert G. Meyer.
She is known for introducing the Rosary of the Holy Wounds.[2] She reported that Jesus asked her to unite her sufferings with His as an Act of Reparation for the sins of the world.[3] She repored that Jesus told her:
- "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."[4]
She died on March 21, 1907, and the cause for her beatification was introduced in 1937.
