Marta had always received a Christian education and example within her family; she also lived in this type of atmosphere. During a stay in England for reason of studies, she was attracted by “another way of life”, a life without Christ. She began to live a life of parties, discos…the nightlife. She was living a “modern and up-to-date” life in the worldly sense of the terms. This time was the darkeststage of her life. She wandered so far away from Christ that when she decided to change her life, after passing a few days in Taize, she was denied the absolution in the sacrament of reconciliation. This made her very angry with God because she thought that He did not want to forgive her.
What happened in Taize? We do not know, but her search for God began there. Her life was turned upside down in such a way that it was evident that she had received a very great grace that profoundly marked her existence.
Marta was always very joyful, in sufferings great and small and in front of other people. |
