Discovery of the work

On the internet, a few years ago, it must have been on the Marie de Nazareth site, there was the text of the Gospel followed by the vision of Maria Valtorta.

Impact on faith

We are used to placing the Magi in the crib for Epiphany, but in the Gospel of Saint Matthew, it is said: "...When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy. They entered the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother; and, falling at his feet, they worshipped him...." There is no longer any question of a stable and a crib, but of a HOUSE, which corresponds to the vision of Maria Valtorta who also tells us that the child Jesus began to walk, which indicates the time of the journey between the moment the Magi see the star at the time of Christ's birth and the moment they arrive in Bethlehem. With this vision of Maria Valtorta, for me, everything becomes clear, logical and real. We can consider that the Magi took several months to arrive in Bethlehem and that St. Joseph and St. Mary had long since left the stable by their arrival.

Graces received

I had faith and practiced before reading Maria Valtorta but her visions come to confirm, strengthen my faith and provide a beautiful insight on the Gospels.

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

I would tell him about the episode of the Magi's arrival as seen by Maria Valtorta, (which I have already done at the time of Christmas and Epiphany.)

Discovery of the work

It was my son who advised me and bought all the volumes of Maria Valtorta.

Impact on faith

Reading the Volumes allowed me to better understand the Gospels, succinct out of necessity, the nomadic life of Jesus and his disciples during his ministry, the harassment of the Pharisees at each of his sermons which explains his condemnation and crucifixion. The account of Lazarus' resurrection is very explicit and very realistic.

Graces received

Better understand the gospels and the detailed life of Jesus and his apostles.

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

To read the volumes.

Discovery of the work

Through the internet through various searches on faith.

Impact on faith

Through the teachings of Jesus throughout the readings.

Graces received

Understanding the sacraments and the acts of Jesus.

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

This is the revelation of Marie's life from her birth to her death, what she experienced and how she redeemed women. Also how Jesus redeemed men.

Discovery of the work

I discovered this monumental work when I stumbled upon a rebroadcast of its adaptation for children by Radio Maria. I was looking for biographical data on my patron saint and on the child Mary, to whom I have a particular devotion, and volume 1 was perfectly timed to answer this quest.

Impact on faith

The writings of Maria Valtorta shed new light on characters that the canonical Gospels mention little, such as Saint Joseph or even Mary herself. It confirms my intuitions, for example, that the resurrected Jesus could not have failed to first appear to his Holy Mother, as Saint John-Paul II also thought. I am a blind person and therefore feed especially on the psychology of the characters as described by Maria, I am thinking in particular of the two faces of John, son of Zebedee and beloved disciple of Jesus, or conversely, Judas who, despite being the object of so much attention due to his fragility, refused to take advantage of the immense graces that were offered to him, paragon of sinful human nature!

Graces received

I have always loved and revered the Virgin Mary. I am also as convinced as one can be that I heard her one night in a dream, when I was still a teenager: "When I think that I am not loved and that I am the mother of the wicked." My ties with our Mother of Heaven loosened for a while after I met the father of my children. I had just returned to my roots, having been asked to become his goddaughter by an acquaintance who had just converted, when I discovered Maria Valtorta. Since then, her wonderful pages about Mary and Jesus have only nourished and strengthened this rediscovered relationship to my greatest joy. Now I know what Jesus means by "I give you my peace"!

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

If you found the catechism lessons of your childhood austere or sleep-inducing (I admit that this was my case in the religious school where I received my first education and the Word of God), reread the life of Jesus in the light of Maria Valtorta and you will see how easy it becomes to attach yourself, first to Him of course, but also to the Holy Family, to each of the apostles.

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

I knew him through the Marie de Nazareth association and Providence wanted that one day I stumble on Youtube on an excerpt from the Gospel as it was revealed to Maria VALTORTA.

Impact on faith

Listening to the CDs allowed me to better understand the Gospel and the Infinite Love that Jesus has for us.

Graces received

I was a very great sinner but thanks to the Gospel as it was revealed to Maria VALTORTA, which allowed me to understand everything that Jesus did for us, I had a radical conversion (as the Exorcist Priest told me). I stopped sinning as I did out of love for Jesus, I will go every day (I have only attended mass once because I was hospitalized urgently), I pray the rosary every day, I have made an act of devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary through the Scapular of Mount Carmel, I share excerpts from the Gospel as it was revealed to Maria VALTORTA on Facebook every day and I know that other people have also returned to prayer by reading the shares and that is thanks to this work. I should note that I had been away from mass for nearly 40 years.

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

Read this work, open your heart and Jesus will enter. You will not even notice it and yet a flame will ignite in you with such a burning fire that you will be ever more drawn towards GOD.

Olivier FOURNIER

France 路 07/21/2025

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

By the site Mary of Nazareth.

Impact on faith

I started reading the Gospel as it was revealed to me by Maria Valtorta out of curiosity and I continued reading it daily in its entirety. I was unable to detach myself from it. I then bought the Jerusalem Bible.

Graces received

This reading prompted me to reconnect with my religious roots by giving them full meaning in everyday life. It has awakened in me a thirst for knowledge of the great religious texts. I try to pray as often as possible for everyone around me, good or bad. Living mainly in Greece, I was baptized in the Orthodox rite. This helps me feel more in community with God in this very believing country.

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

One is not obliged to practice a linear reading. It is interesting to cross this reading with the texts of the day's mass. This allows for a better illumination of the word of Jesus Christ by emphasizing the context and/or developing it more extensively.

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.

Impact on faith

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...
