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.

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.

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.

Discovery of the work

I had trouble falling asleep, and one day, a friend told me about a reading he listens to fall asleep... It was the work of Maria Valtorta. So I listened... and it worked well, I fell asleep!... At first, I looked down on it: "Blonde, blue-eyed Mary! Don't they know that people in Palestine have dark skin?!"… Then I was increasingly moved. So I researched these "20,000 details verified by science"... and there, as a scientist, I understood that this work could rationally only come from God… As a result, I changed my attitude and began to listen to it with humility and eagerness.

Impact on faith

Born to a Catholic mother and an atheist father, God was a certainty for me as a child. As a young adult, I completely rejected the Catholic Church... I thus built my beliefs, a personal mix with a Jesus of my own making, some New Age, a bit of reincarnation,... At 57 years old, reading this work "flipped me like a pancake". It led me to know Jesus, and, as we only love what we know, I began to love Jesus more and more. My beliefs were turned upside down. For example, today I believe in the inerrancy of the Bible, in papal infallibility, in the Real Presence in the Eucharist, etc...

Graces received

Concretely, I have completely reorganized my life (towards God): - I go to mass at least 4 times a week (because there isn't one every day!), I confess once or twice a month, - Every day I read the Word of God, - I pray the rosary at least 2 times a week, - I share about God (in almost every encounter that God offers me, in a cenacle, in "theological" evenings for non-believers...). - I have also detached myself from many things (zero TV or movies, disinterest in various distractions,...). - I now pray for people who hurt me,... - I read Luisa Piccarreta's writings every day, especially the Hours of the Passion.

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

Afraid that it might not be inspired by God? Then, take the time to inform yourself about the scientific evidence on one hand, and about the fruits on the other hand... See this page: https://edifiant.fr/maria-valtorta And read, because you yourself have a capacity for discernment. Wasting time? What is wasting a little time compared to missing out on an extraordinary gift from God, finally finding the meaning of life, the Truth?

Discovery of the work

After a drug addiction therapy, I was challenged to say a rosary a day and "your life will change"... I started after having nothing more to lose and slowly, after moving in front of a church (by chance), an acquaintance offered me the complete collection of Maria Valtorta's work. I started by reading volume 1 and so on up to 10. My anointing from the Lord happened in my living room while reading: I died for you!.. The outpouring of the Holy Spirit entered me. I felt what love was because I had never known love. My life has changed since then.

Impact on faith

Reading the volumes allowed me to know Jesus, to live an intimacy with Him and my love for Mother Mary is boundless... She led me through the rosary and the reading of the Word because for me it's from the Father of Heaven. I began to know the sacraments and held prayer evenings. I even quit smoking out of love because His Love is so great. So great that I felt the need to give and proclaim the Gospel. Through reading the collection, I can reread His teachings, His pearls of knowledge.

Graces received

A total conversion and above all the practice of the sacraments of forgiveness and the Eucharist. The sacrament of forgiveness gives wings and truly heals our wounded heart. I suffer from degenerative diseases and I have joy in me because my hope comes from above. I have no doubt that reading the Gospel of Maria Valtorta can lead to conversions .. it is a Living Word Since October 1995, I no longer feel my emptiness inside me, this soul-destroying gnawer.

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

You have nothing to lose. On the contrary, everything to gain. You will know Love.

Discovery of the work

Following an inexplicable experience, I found myself one evening swearing to serve the Lord, without understanding the impact of this event in my life. Born into Catholicism, but an atheist. The next day, I sought to understand. And I came across a lecture by Jean-François Lavère on the scientific nature of the work, after which I was convinced that I needed to read to understand.

Impact on faith

This work literally led me to the Gospel. It allowed me to understand all those things that seemed obscure to me in the Catholic religion, to make them clear and luminous. Unfortunately, they are often used as excuses to distance oneself from it, when in fact that's where the whole treasure lies. It brought me back to the daily reading of the Gospel, to a keen love for Jesus, and the certainty that the salvation of the World depended on the Holy Catholic Church. By sharing the daily life of Jesus, his Mother and the apostles, a closeness and deep respect are created and permeate the soul. Convinced that Christ had given his life for us and that we should give ours in return.

Graces received

I was a great sinner in all areas of existence, an atheist, inclined to the pleasures of this world. Since discovering this work, I have had a progressive journey that has led today to a life of prayer, Bible study, and the lives of the Saints, on a daily basis. I am present at Sunday Mass as well as during the week and I am involved in the life of my parish. Simply put, a return to the sacraments, a return to God.

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

I would quote Blessed Gabriel Allegra "I do not think it is wise and fair to remain indifferent to such a treasure"

Discovery of the work

By the film Miracles by Pierre Barnérias.

Impact on faith

Once the work was read, I started to read the New Testament in its entirety, which I had not yet done. As for Jesus Christ, I truly discovered him through this work.

Graces received

During the reading of the work and following the discovery of factual elements for which the veracity of the Catholic faith is the only valid explanation, I asked to be baptized in this Church, baptism scheduled for the Easter Vigil 2026 :)

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

It depends on where his hesitation comes from. Personally, I tell people who are not familiar with the work that the visions have been authenticated and all that remains is to form an opinion on who gave Maria these visions and thus deduce logically that it is a work of divine origin.

Additional testimony

Reading this work has changed my perceptions about life in general and more specifically about becoming very believing in one and triune God, belief based on the analysis of several supernatural facts analyzed by science, thus becoming knowledge and this new birth made me know Christ and all His love that stems from the path He makes me tread every day. Glory to the Lord.
