By meetings.
We are immersed in the land of Christ and we are closer to him
Reinforced with my husband and encouraged to walk 17km a day to attend the Eucharist. More anchored in the world.
Read and you will understand that it is the work of Jesus

I discovered the work thanks to the apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary at Cornacchiola at the Three Fountains in Rome. At a certain point in the story, there was a reference to the seer Luigina Sinapi and nearby Maria Valtorta was mentioned. So I copied and pasted and became aware of the Work.
I say that it has now been more than 15 years that I read only the writings of Valtorta. I have bought and read the entire Work. I have also purchased the book by Ferri. In this historical moment of tribulation, I help myself only with the reading of her books.
I was confirmed only two years ago, I was always inconsistent in my faith even though I went to mass without confessing, but I never took the Eucharist because I felt it was not right towards Jesus. Now I confess often and I approach the Eucharist.
If you are looking for texts that exude Love, read the Gospel.

Following the reading of the Gospels, I felt a certain sadness. I told myself that we ultimately only have these few accounts as words and testimonies of the life of Christ, while I, on the other hand, had a true thirst for Jesus, to know Him better, to discover His life, His words, His actions, and His way of being. I then prayed to the Lord with this request: that He would allow me, in one way or another, to know Jesus better, even wishing that He could appear to me in a dream and tell me His story and His life Himself.
I would say that Maria Valtorta has been a door for me that led me to deepen my knowledge and love of Jesus. Through her work, I discovered an in-depth teaching of the scriptures and a better understanding.
A better understanding of the word as well as the power of Jesus in these Works but also in the word.
May God through Maria Valtorta offer us once again a treasure...

I discovered the work of Maria Valtorta, thanks to the YouTube channel "Sous ton Manteau Céleste".
Listening to the audios of the work has helped me better understand the Gospel. With more clarity, dimensions, and understanding. A much gentler and more human dimension than the understanding I had of the Gospel until now. Now when I meditate on a passage from the Bible, I understand better and project myself better.
Impact on my faith is that I love all the disciples and apostles of Jesus much more. A true understanding of the life of the Holy Virgin and of Jesus.
Trying it is adopting it! For my part, the work is like honey on my soul.

Searching for videos of the apparitions of the Virgin Mary on the internet.
Through the detailed descriptions of the life of Jesus and the Holy Virgin Mary with His apostles; through the teachings and explanations of Jesus and Mary given for certain scenes of their lives. Through the love and pain of Jesus and the Co-redemption of the Holy Virgin Mary by living their Passion from the birth of Jesus to the resurrection of Christ, the infinite pain of Mary during the Passion of her Holy Son. Through the joy of the description of the resurrection of Jesus. Through the descriptions of the Ascension, the Assumption, and the crowning of Mary.
Return to the practice of faith: masses, prayers, rosaries, penances, Sacrament of Reconciliation and Confirmation that I had not done, being at the service of the Church by being a catechist with children to transmit to them the love of God and participating in the choir.
There are various resources to discover at each one's level: on the internet, YouTube, books, personal testimonies.
This Work enlightens me and provides deeper and more precise understandings of the 4 canonical Gospels of the Church. This Work has changed my vision of faith.

A friend whom I admire greatly spoke to me about it as a treasure. I paid little attention to it, then one day I listened to it being read on YouTube. I immediately recognized the voice of my Shepherd.
I was already sensitive to Love. I sometimes felt strong inner movements, especially at mass. Reading the Work has multiplied them both in number and intensity. Being able to contemplate the Gospel of Our Lord Jesus so abundantly is an unimaginable grace. Everything has been multiplied in me: the love of Jesus, of His Church, of His Most Holy Eucharist, of the Blessed Virgin Mary, of the Holy Father, everything, everything, everything!
I am a convert. I was already practicing when I discovered the Work. Yet, I feel like I have been converted a second time, and in a much more powerful way. I find such luminous answers there! I thought I had great faith before. It was tiny.
Nothing to lose. Everything to gain. If it's false, it doesn't matter. If it's true, it's a Treasure. I believe it with all my being.

Father Gino Violini received a copy from an Italian lady in Calgary. Father Violini asked me to read it to him. His reaction was, “I wish I had all this when I was a seminarian.” When I finished the last page, he asked me to start reading it again from page one.
As I read on, I knew—or something in my soul assured me—that this was an authentic record of the life of Christ. An overwhelming conviction, full of love, came over me, assuring me beyond the shadow of a doubt that this was a true exposition of Gospel events. Its penetrating wisdom filled me with awe.
It was a rich medicine for me, more effective than any spiritual retreat I had ever attended, and it compelled me to correct many things within myself and expel sleeping faults from my system. It was like a sieve, removing clumps of imperfections previously unnoticed by my conscience. The revelation was a radical reformer. It inspired justice and love in matters I had not considered before. It showed me my imperfections and steered me in the right direction. It gave me a picture of the perfect personality of Jesus, an example I wanted to copy.
It is a miracle almost impossible to imagine. It is Christianity from the Fountainhead. You will see the Gospel unfold before your eyes in bright colors. The day the Work was published, crowds should have lined up around the block to get their first copy.
If I were a priest instead of a bookbinder, I would tell my congregation to study every lesson given to us in the Valtorta revelations. It would make them all saints.

About 30 years ago, a Catholic friend gave me several volumes of the first edition of the work. While reading a few chapters, I found Jesus too human and too severe and did not continue my reading. I also found this friend a bit excessive in her faith. Ten years later, the video by J-F Lavère convinced me of the authenticity of Maria Valtorta's writings. I resumed my reading and purchased all the published works, listened to videos on the web, USB key, etc...
Nothing else interests me today, except Jesus, who grants us such grace through the gift of this work to humanity. I understand the immense path I must now travel. I try to attend Mass almost every day, adore the Most Blessed Sacrament, participate fervently in my prayer group, the daily rosary, apostolate on the web and around me, and frequent confession. When one is retired, there is so much time to pray. Health trials are offered with love. Maria is also our model. The goal is to do God's will in everything and at every moment. "Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me, yet not my will but yours."
The graces... Because it is speaking to Jesus, always happy to thank him for all the graces he has already given us. Because he speaks to us with these writings but also deep in our hearts. "If he calls upon me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him, with long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation" PS 90.
Difficult when one sees the reluctance of some Catholics. For me, the scientific evidence is indisputable. I don't know how to speak to someone who lacks common sense. One must know how to set aside prejudices, demonstrate a certain holiness, a lot of love, encourage the person to read conversion testimonies, show the urgency of proclaiming the Gospel to the whole world, which is heading towards its downfall.
I would like to say that even if it was not the writings of Maria Valtorta that were the source of my initial conversion, since I owe my conversion to the Holy Shroud of Turin at the age of 33, after a life perhaps worse or at least as disordered as that of Mary Magdalene; it is undoubtedly by the immense grace of the work that I have been able to hold firm through the trials I have faced since then until today. May God be blessed.

By chance on YouTube, my life completely changed. I feel like I'm breathing the scent of Jesus' skin when I listen to his gospel, and Jesus has become for me the present and loving God that I had lost sight of since the time of my childlike piety. It is truly a gospel for these times of darkness where the tragic battle to save every soul is being fought. For while we sleep, Evil devours souls to a degree similar to the beginnings of Christianization. Thank you Lord Jesus for this providential Gift. You have always saved us by all means, and blessed be Maria Valtorta.
It's simple, I can't do without it anymore. It has become my breath. I had never realized before the Real Presence of Jesus leaning like a mother over the wounds of her children. I thought I loved Him and had faith, but I realized that I only had a vague idea of: "I Am Who Am". It's difficult to explain, Jesus is Real, Active, Present in every detail of our lives and the destiny of the World.
Return to the church, to prayer, to the sacraments, and above all to intimate conversation with God, like a child who speaks with his Father at any time and on any occasion.
You have nothing to lose and EVERYTHING to gain. We have a Treasure in our hands!
I am aware of WHO GOD IS, as I could never have conceived.

I discovered the work through Jean Francois Lavère's video on the scientific authenticity of the gospel as it was revealed to me.
I felt like I was among the apostles, with Jesus, and loving him more and more.
Not a day goes by without me thinking about Jesus and his teachings.
