Discovery of the work

It was my father who started talking to me about it and then I got an issue of Christians Magazine that allowed me to better know the person of Maria. Then I bought volume 1.

Impact on faith

I was a practitioner but I thought that all faith, God, and the Saints were very far from me. I did not understand what God could bring us. After reading, everything became clear, everything became easy to understand and above all, all the characters are like us! I understood why Jesus suffered for us and I now understand the meaning of the life of every human being.

Graces received

Everything became clear to me. The meaning of mass, the Holy Sacrament, prayers, sacrifices, offering up one's sufferings, praying for others, loving one's enemies. I returned to regular confession and I adore before the very Holy Sacrament 2 to 3 times a week. I am kinder to people, more serene and full of hope about life after death. My view of life has completely changed in my life as a mother and wife too. Everything has changed for me and for the better!

What would you say to someone hesitating to discover this work?

I started reading with a lot of skepticism, telling myself: if it's "weird" I'll stop. And really everything is so beautiful and faithful to the Gospel! Start reading and you'll see... !!

Discovery of the work

Initially, thanks to our subscription to the monthly magazine "Christians Magazine". We bought the 10 volumes as well as the DVDs. And the books "Maria Valtorta who are you" by Jean Aulagnier, "The Valtorta Enigma - An Enlightened Life of Jesus" and others... On a daily basis, currently, thanks to the "Jesus Today" letter distributed by the website https://www.mariedenazareth.com

Impact on faith

Thanks to Maria Valtorta, the infinite Love of Jesus and his mother Mary finally appeared real to me. No more doubt. We have our heart with them and also the apostles. For my part, initially, it was through areas of clarification of the gospels: The wedding with the water turned into wine, how the multiplication of the loaves could have actually occurred, the hard times of Mary and St Joseph at the Annunciation, etc...

Graces received

The main lesson I take away and now live by is not to be of the world but in the world. Our life can be led in different ways. But the one we come to appreciate through these writings becomes simple, clear, bright, light, true, detached from attachments to any goods and the information with which we are daily inundated.

What would you say to someone hesitating to discover this work?

First and foremost, we discover together the "Maria Valtorta" video by Bruno PERRINET. Afterwards, if I know the person, I will already guide them towards the passages that I know they will not be able to remain indifferent to. And I ask them to subscribe to the daily letter "Jesus Today". From experience, I know that it is a "trap" because after a few days they become addicted to this story.

Discovery of the work

Through my sister.

Impact on faith

She helped me to enter into the very context of each work of Jesus's life.

Graces received

I realized how much Jesus identified with us in his human condition and this comforts me.

What would you say to someone hesitating to discover this work?

Discovering Jesus necessarily involves the Gospel, and Maria Valtorta's work puts each passage in its context.

Discovery of the work

Through the emails of Jesus today. The explanations on the gospel of the day are clear.

I discovered the depth of God's love through Maria Valtorta!! For every man!!. I did nothing but cry during the reading of these writings...

Graces received

I have opened my heart to the Lord as I have never done before.

What would you say to someone hesitating to discover this work?

It's a treasure of love, it's my most precious possession. I often hesitate to lend it...

France 路 07/21/2025

Discovery of the work

I read excerpts while browsing a volume of The Gospel as Revealed to Me by Maria Valtorta. I then looked for information about Maria Valtorta and when I read that Pope Pius XII advised reading it, I bought the 10 volumes. I read them for the first time over the course of two months. Then I resumed reading the 10 volumes a second time more calmly over about a year, and a third time with the Bible at my side to read the passages to which Jesus referred.

Impact on faith

Today, I start each day with the daily readings and I like to additionally read the corresponding passage from the gospel in Maria Valtorta. I feel much closer to Jesus, to Mary. It seems more alive to me.

Graces received

I think I have a greater respect for priests. I was already involved in my parish and of course I continue. It seems to me that I have gained a greater awareness of the sacred in the liturgy, a better listening to the bereaved for funeral accompaniment. The Eucharist deeply touches me...

What would you say to someone hesitating to discover this work?

I have lent my copies of the Gospel as it was revealed to me to several people. Some are moved, others are not. I think that if one hesitates to read it, one should try without fear. And see...

Stephane

France 路 07/21/2025

Discovery of the work

I discovered this work through "Jesus Today" and through the testimony of a friend who is a member of a Franciscan fraternity.

Impact on faith

The richness of details, the subtlety of thoughts, the overall realism make me see Jesus with more depth and love.

Graces received

This work gives me more strength in the daily spiritual battle and brings me closer to God.

What would you say to someone hesitating to discover this work?

This work encompasses the Gospel but does not change it. It highlights details and subtleties and also illuminates some difficult passages of the Gospel texts.

Additional testimony

Reading Maria Valtorta brings me happiness and immerses me in the life of Jesus like no other text. Truly, it is a grace from God himself to bring more souls to him.

Discovery of the work

I discovered the work of Maria Valtorta by chance on the internet. But I believe it was not a mere coincidence, but that God in his great kindness was answering a desire that had been driving me for a long time; that of knowing the hidden life of Christ in Nazareth with the Virgin and Saint Joseph.

Impact on faith

She allowed me to understand that Christ was more Human than I had imagined and brought me a little closer to him.

Graces received

I understood how much Christ loves us and that he wants to remain in friendship with Man until the end.

What would you say to someone hesitating to discover this work?

It is a work of Mercy from Christ who wants us all to him. It would be a shame to miss such an opportunity especially for our time.

Discovery of the work

Out of curiosity on the internet.

Impact on faith

The first text I read was the resurrection. It was clear, chronological, and luminous. Christ is Alive, it's true, it's real. Thank you Maria Valtorta.

Graces received

Daily reading of the Gospels and texts of the day followed by the reading of the corresponding text by Maria Valtorta, which gives it an extra life.

What would you say to someone hesitating to discover this work?

Who reads will understand.

Benoit

France 路 07/21/2025

Discovery of the work

During a silent retreat, I confided this sadness to God: "My God, why is it that at the end of the day, I have more appetite to watch a movie than to pray to you?" At the end of the retreat, when it was time to break the silence, a young man told me about Maria Valtorta. I listened politely, and tried the first volume. I prayed over the 10 volumes and the 5 notebook-books of Maria Valtorta for 3 years, I am now on my rifle reading.

Impact on faith

The canonical Gospel remains my reference. But to use the movie analogy, this reference is in black and white. Maria Valtorta, it's like a 4KHD Blu-Ray DVD... a concentrated dose of the Holy Spirit. We pray as a family in the evening with the Gospel of the day, but every morning, I nourish myself with the corresponding passage from Maria Valtorta.

Graces received

The density and vitality of the spiritual nourishment I found in the work allowed me to commit myself to young people (preparation for first communion, high school chaplaincy...) The work has enlightened me on many questions I had. Why doesn't Mary, who received the angel's announcement, immediately share this joy with Joseph? How does Matthew, a publican who devoted his life to money and pleasures, let go of everything on this call from Jesus: "follow me". What is the personality of Judas...

What would you say to someone hesitating to discover this work?

One must try. The work does not speak to everyone, but in my case, and that of many friends, it has been of decisive contribution.

Fran莽ois BONHOMME

France 路 07/21/2025

Discovery of the work

To tell the truth, I no longer remember the specific event that made me aware of Mr. Valtorta's works. I started by ordering one volume to see for myself, and then I found the 10 volumes on Le Bon Coin, and bought them, then read them with great interest.

Impact on faith

Through my reading, I found myself in the midst of this group of apostles guided by Jesus, somewhat like the 13th member of this group, following their daily lives, their messages, their everyday life. It was for me an illustrated and living supplement to the Gospels that I already knew. I saw, I understood, I was with Jesus and his apostles, I appreciated the precision and all the details of the message placed in its historical and religious context. An unprecedented and truly instructive journey opening my mind to that of Jesus. The complete reading of these 10 volumes never took me away from what the Church had previously taught me. This reading only corroborated the existing writings, consolidating through its many details my conviction that Christ is the envoy of God and the friend of Men.

Graces received

I believe that Mr. Valtorta's writings are authentic and sincere, even if sometimes the formulation of ideas and the layout of the text require careful rereading. These writings have strengthened my faith in the Eucharist. They clarified for me the meaning of Jesus' Passion (Volume 10) and made me understand how far divine love could go towards the man that I am. And then everything exudes reality in the reported facts. Everything becomes clear and limpid when reading these works. No confusion or insinuations, ever.

What would you say to someone hesitating to discover this work?

One must familiarize oneself with the style and its formatting. We are not in a novel or in the usual readings recounting the usual biographies. I was reading only one chapter at a time, and this spread over about a year for my complete reading. But each time, I was happy in advance because I knew that I was going to discover who Jesus is among his apostles.
