Discovery of the work

I discovered the works of Maria Valtorta in my in-laws' library. It was my husband who told me that it should interest me. I literally plunged into the life of Jesus and traveled 2000 years back. I was so thirsty for Him.

Impact on faith

I finally met this Jesus that I felt in my soul since I was little but without knowing Him. The grace of faith that was given to me in my childhood, was considerably increased thanks to the reading of the works of Maria Valtorta. I understood certain Gospels much better that were difficult for me to understand. I understood the incredible beauty of the Christian religion based on two words: It's simple and beautiful. Love God with all your being Love others as yourself.

Graces received

Thanks to the readings of Maria Valtorta, I have constructed a middle school catechism course for 8th and 9th graders (received and corrected by my parish priest) that I teach. My classes are much more lively. I see the grace of faith in the hearts of my students as the year progresses. I understand better the meaning of Christ's immense sacrifice, his love for each man, the value of a soul, the role of the Virgin Mary. I know much better the history of Israel in the time of Jesus, the characters, their character, customs etc ... I live with them. They never leave me. I have built an oratory at home (a large one) where I pray alone or with my family regularly. I have set up Catholic student shared accommodations to evangelize young people and talk to them about the Love of Jesus. I now speak of Christ, to people in the street. I do not hesitate to testify about my faith. I have received incredible graces of joy and hope.

Personal Testimony RER A: A young girl sits next to me while I was reading Maria Valtorta. She asks me if it's good. I tell her about Maria Valtorta. The train arrives at La D茅fense, the young girl stands up and says to me. "Thank you. I had asked Jesus to give me a sign to know if I could read Maria Valtorta because of the controversies. I got my sign. I will read it". She left. Thank you, Lord.

Discovery of the work

After many signs putting this work on my path, it was Florian BOUCANSAUD's testimony on the Internet that pushed me to buy Volume 1. Moved by this reading, I then ordered the entire work of Maria VALTORTA.

Impact on faith

I did not have a religious education and only found faith at the age of 45. I started catechism following my conversion but there were a significant number of concepts that I could not understand. This work has illuminated them with incredible power!!!! Our Lord Jesus Christ has become so close to me, that I feel like I have traveled with him, like an invisible apostle, following him everywhere through this story. And the figures of Joseph and Mary are presented so beautifully that I have since developed a great devotion to the Holy Family.

Graces received

My God, what blessings received!!! Listing them would be too long... But I believe that the greatest grace that this work has allowed me to obtain is the love of others! As a beginner in faith, this question obviously arose: "Who is my neighbor?". I understood through Jesus' speeches that as the Creator, God is our Father to all of us, that He loves us all. And the Lord has made me grow in love, especially for the poorest among us, by leading me to meet the people on the street that I may come across, but also for the sick, by allowing me to be a hospitaler in Lourdes during the week of August 15th. I also want to point out this other important grace: apart from obedience to God, I finally understood the importance of obedience to the Church.

Discovery of the work

Advice from a friend.

Impact on faith

I would say that reading Maria Valtorta had a decisive impact 2 and a half years ago when I tried to turn to Christ and Mary. Even though I am of Protestant origin and not baptized. My scientific mind was seized, impressed by the evidence of a supernatural phenomenon. A few days after I started reading, I wrote on my Facebook page this proclamation that still amazes me today: "Jesus and Mary walked on this earth 2000 years ago and proclaimed a message of love with incredible courage." Since then, I pray every day in front of my two icons of Christ and Mary, and I have been saying a rosary a day for a year. Christ and Mary entered my life at 56 years old and I testify that it is largely thanks to Maria Valtorta.

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

I've already done it, I tell this story of this skeptical scientist who challenged the details of the story one by one and who quickly became convinced and pursued his quest for proof on thousands of cases. I would recommend reading it to anyone who finds the Gospels or the Bible too difficult to read.

Impact on faith

With Jesus Today, reading the Gospel and then that of Maria Valtorta expands my field of meditation. I go in spirit to the place and experience the events of Jesus' life with a lot of concreteness. I feel Jesus' love (his gaze) towards the characters. His pedagogy, his way of leading a soul to conversion (Mary Magdalene) educates me in charity, patience, forgiveness, giving, etc. I identify with a certain person (Suzanne), a certain situation... It's as if Jesus was speaking to me. These readings make me grow in love as Jesus conceives it. Mary's tears make me love her even more. How she suffered! This mix of joy of having her Son and the pain of understanding his path of redemption... The expression of her feelings... It's so beautiful! Touching beauty in this way fills my heart. I think about it all day long and try to understand what Jesus and Mary would do in my situations etc. They are with me day and night as well as the characters of the apostles, the women etc. This has changed my spiritual life...

Graces received

Before, there was faith on one side, my life on the other. These texts, read and meditated upon, unify my spirit and my soul. I experience mass more intensely, I put into practice the advice of the Holy Virgin. I have more respect (thanksgiving, silence in the church) in my relationship with the Lord and I hold my tongue in conversations, asking Jesus what is appropriate. I am much more reserved so as not to slander and chatter needlessly. I consult my soul internally to know if I please the Lord or not and I correct myself accordingly. I understand better the horror of sin and its catastrophic dimension for my relationship with God. Because I often told myself "it's not serious!" I measure more the necessity to testify, to be courageous to affirm my faith, and I understand that the Lord counts on me. Ultimately, these texts guide me to grow in Love!

"Read and you will understand" like Pope XII!

Discovery of the work

A friend recommended me to read the Gospel as it was revealed to me.

Impact on faith

This reading allowed me to deepen my faith, and to find in the teachings given by Christ a guideline for my life.

Graces received

I have found joy and comfort in prayer and learned to practice meditation and heart-to-heart with God.

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

I am on my 5th rereading of this gospel, and each time it strengthens my faith a little more.

Discovery of the work

Through the Jesus Today newsletter.

Impact on faith

Following Jesus, as a disciple, in the detail of the canonical gospels, taught me to truly love Him for who He is: God made Man, savior and redeemer, come to teach us to love God and our neighbor... following the example of His Life and His Death.

Graces received

Baptized, I had not been to the sacraments for over 20 years. "Following" Christ, like a disciple of his time for a year (reading time), allowed me to understand the meaning of the word "conversion"... that is to say, leaving the intellectual level of my relationship with God to truly move to the spiritual level. Since then, I go to the sacrament of forgiveness several times a month and I take communion as often as possible (several times a week).

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

As Pope Pius XII recommended: read (the entire work) and you will understand...

Discovery of the work

I became acquainted with the work of Maria Valtorta through a conference given by Father Pag猫s. I "accidentally" opened this video which encouraged me to read Maria's writings, published on the web. From the first lines, my love for Jesus literally exploded, my eyes were opened to the teachings of my childhood, my first communion and my solemn communion came back to my memory with astonishing precision, and I even remembered the words of the old priest to the little girls crowned in white: "For God, you are unique and irreplaceable!"

Impact on faith

I saw Jesus as a living person, incarnate, I heard His Words as if I was present with his disciples. Every word became clear and accessible both to my mind and my heart, something I had never felt when I used to go to mass;

Graces received

I can accompany my grandchildren who have requested baptism; my view on my life and my sins has opened.

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

What are you afraid of? In all religions, there are things to take and leave, But in the gospels, NOTHING is to be thrown away, each Word opens a world and Maria Valtorta allows us to receive this Word right in the heart!

Discovery of the work

By a friend in 2012: he had the books of the Work at his place and I randomly opened them.

Impact on faith

She made the Gospel very concrete by allowing me to "visualize" the life of Christ; if I could take a picture, I would say that I went from 2D to 3D.

Graces received

Jesus and Maria Valtorta have been very gentle with me: I have gradually drawn closer to Christ (and Mary) by meditating much more on his life; I pray more frequently and more intensely because I visualize much better.

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

Do not hesitate to discover: one can start anywhere by reading a passage. And then... Christ will do the rest.

Discovery of the work

In search of spirituality, through the Marie de Nazareth website, I discovered the work of Maria Valtorta. I read the 10 volumes in just over a year and I have undertaken to read them again.

Impact on faith

I am surprised that this work is not accepted by the Church. As far as I'm concerned, this work can only have 3 sources - the human - the devil - God For a human, it's impossible to conceive so many unprecedented and subsequently verified facts, especially under the conditions in which Maria Valtorta wrote. The devil, it could be him, but in this case the objective can only be to denigrate the Church, GOD However, after this reading, I feel closer to GOD, to the Church, to the Pope, leaving the third solution.

Graces received

It helps me in the prayer of the rosary, in faith in the Church, respect for bishops, the Pope

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

You need to read volume 1, and volumes 9 and 10.
