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.

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...

Discovery of the work

Watching videos on YouTube.

Impact on faith

Through the precision and details about the concrete life of Jesus and his apostles, of the Virgin Mary and Saint Joseph.

Graces received

I had been baptized and received communion when I was little, but I did not believe in God, even though I perhaps sensed a higher power. I sought the truth in all religions and traditions, and I had even already read the four Gospels without leaving this spirit of disbelief. Specifically, in the space of the two months where I listened to "the work" in my car: deep conversion, return to the church, confessions, desire to align my life with the teachings of Jesus, daily rosary and weekly praises and adoration in a prayer group. I have since discovered a parish where I feel good and am active (Alpha course, Youcat, pilgrimage...). I now share my testimony whenever I have the opportunity, as it can contribute to their conversion.

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

Simply that he reads it. With all the details he will find, he will journey with Christ through vibrant places that He has traveled. Also, to better understand among other things the mystery of Mary and that of Judas.

Camille Decourcy

France 路 07/21/2025

Discovery of the work

After a painful period in my life, although baptized according to the Catholic rite, I opted for evangelical Protestantism, as the faithful seemed to me much more fervent, based on my experience. Then, I told myself that the Mother of God could only be exceptional and I wondered if Mary-Mother had had other children. In doing my personal research, I discovered, thanks to God, The Gospel as it was revealed to me which explains among other things the vows of Joseph and Mary to remain chaste. Thus, Joseph, according to volume 1, was a Nazirite, that is, he wanted to dedicate himself to God and remain chaste.

Impact on faith

Deeply moved by the different personalities of all Jesus' contemporaries. We laugh, we cry, we marvel, and we almost feel pity for Judas.

Graces received

Reading and rereading of the work. Help to meditate on the Rosary and the Chaplet of Divine Mercy, as well as that of the Precious Blood. Finally, practice of prayer.

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

Before judging, at least read the first chapter and you won't be able to leave this fascinating work.

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.

Louis Szabo

France 路 07/21/2025

Discovery of the work

I believe I discovered the work of Maria Valtorta through videos found on Youtube.

Impact on faith

Reading Maria Valtorta revitalized my faith because it gives the feeling of witnessing the scenes, of being closer to the characters, which in my opinion makes the Gospel more alive, more touching.

Graces received

This has allowed me to regain the motivation to return to mass on a weekly basis, to reconnect with prayer on a daily basis, and to feel closer to Jesus.

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

I find that it's the perfect reading to complement the Bible.

Christelle TOSSA-DOSSOU

Togo 路 07/21/2025

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.
