The work was beginning to be transcribed into audio readings on Spotify.

Before, I considered myself a Christian, with a disdain for the institutional church, and reading the Work, particularly Jesus' commentary, reconciled me with the necessity of maintaining unity in the Church despite its human imperfection.

I was so much in rationality, I needed to nourish my sense of the concrete to then be free to be reborn into the spirituality of love.

It was necessary for me to internalize because there is the life of Jesus but we have the feeling of living in the midst of the scenes described by Maria... And then there are teachings from Jesus and Mary and it also gives an incredible proximity.

I take communion every day and before mass, I need to read the correspondence with "the gospel as it was revealed to me" because there are often teachings, words of Jesus.

I have already encouraged people to read the gospel as it was revealed to me. It strengthens faith, there is nothing in contradiction with the bible, it simply needs to be read with the eyes of the heart and not those of the intellect, many graces result from it and then it allows to go further by reading Luisa Piccarreta who is the logical continuation it seems to me, to get closer and closer to Jesus.
