Thanks to the Marie de Nazareth Association, (Jesus today).

This helped me make my confirmation, to return to the house of the Holy Father (the Church) every Sunday. And of course, the rosary every day as well.

To read it and discover it with the word of the day Jesus today.

Discovery of the work

When I went to Medjugorje in 1984 during our bus trips because we were staying 1h30 away from the site of the apparitions. The person in charge of the pilgrimage talked to us at length during the daily journeys.

Truly becoming an integral part of everything that is happening. Living fully with all the described characters and above all, knowing the contexts of each story and description as precise.

Graces received

Crazy love for the Eucharist, intense life of prayer, rosary... Understanding of the gospels and personal prayers following the method of St. Ignatius of Loyola. Nourishing myself with the Word of God.

Do not miss this opportunity at all costs. It brings so much happiness and joy to all the readers I regularly interact with.

Herv茅

France 路 07/21/2025

Discovery of the work

At the end of her life, my mother would read Maria Valtorta over and over, 20 minutes a day. As for me, I studied it following the reading of the day's Gospel thanks to the daily publication of JESUS TODAY by the Association Marie de Nazareth, the excerpt from Maria Valtorta's text helping me to better understand and better retain the day's Gospel.

Impact on faith

The Lord Jesus has become closer, His love for us more evident, His demands more understandable.

Graces received

The daily prayer. Obedience to God and the Church. The desire to testify of Christ's love.

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

Subscribe to the daily publication of JESUS TODAY from the Association Marie of Nazareth, be faithful for several days and you will see the fruits of your effort on your faith.

Jean-Fran莽ois

France 路 07/21/2025

Discovery of the work

It was a friend who introduced me to the work of Maria Valtorta. I was captivated by the simplicity, depth, and precision of the descriptions and subsequently, I bought the volumes as they were published in France in the 1980s.

Impact on faith

This reading allowed me to better understand the texts of The Gospel, to better understand the SITUATIONS experienced by Jesus, by the apostles, by the holy women, by the Virgin Mary. We also discover the depth of the relationships between Jesus and all those He frequents. I also appreciated the concern to give precise descriptions of nature, cities, paths taken ... a real pleasure to journey with Jesus, with the apostles, ...

Graces received

A deepening of my faith, a need to read or reread the Gospels. I discovered the constant opposition encountered by Jesus, all that He suffered for us, a little more about how much God loves us.

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

It is a grace that is offered to us, which is not indispensable for salvation, but when it is welcomed, it brings us closer to the Lord, it shows us how much our love can still grow.

Chantal

France 路 07/21/2025

Discovery of the work

32 years ago. Through a cousin who had read the work. I asked permission to read them from my companion at the time, a priest of the Opus Dei, who raised no objection.

Impact on faith

Huge impact. The work allowed me to start reading the Bible regularly, something I couldn't manage to do until then despite my efforts. Step by step, I arrived at daily reading. Then to daily prayer. The work answered, through the teachings of Christ, many questions I had about the Bible and the Gospels and helped correct misinterpretations. It answered my questions and doubts about the role and place of the Virgin, for example, and women in the Church.

Graces received

I have been able to enter into a more intense, more daily, more confident life of prayer. I have been able to engage in an inner dialogue with Jesus, which I did not do before. These readings have nourished my practice of the rosary. They have strengthened my fidelity to the sacraments, allowing me not to abandon the mass in terrible trials where I no longer had the strength or the desire to go because they made me understand that the Eucharist is the heart of Christian life and that without Jesus host present in me with all his life, his strength, his graces, I could not go through what I had to live. These writings have given me a great love for the Church, have made me understand the importance of rooting myself in my parish church which I did not love. They have developed in me a great love and respect for priests, even if they are sometimes failing. They have sensitized me to my duty to pray for them who give us so much.

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

A tree is recognized by its fruits. For me, considering the many fruits of conversions that I have received, I am sure that these writings are beneficial for my soul. They have given me decisive keys to grow in faith.

Additional testimony

These writings also gave me keys on how to live through some very specific situations. At the time, I was in a very conflictual relationship with my father. I was able to make positive decisions to rebuild a very damaged link by relying on certain teachings and examples from the book.

G茅rard Second

France 路 07/21/2025

Discovery of the work

Through the internet, I became interested in the lives of the saints as I was searching after many years without religious practice and I stumbled upon it, I would not say by chance, the Lord uses everything to bring us back to faith.

Impact on faith

It's hard to explain. Reading put me in front of such a strong truth that I returned to faith, and some time after, to religious practice through prayer, weekday mass as well as Sunday.

Graces received

- Daily prayer and weekday mass; - On Sunday: rosary, divine mercy and recently the seven sorrows; - Volunteer chaplain two mornings a week; - A better understanding of the disease and recently life in general.

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

Read and you will see.

Bruno

France 路 07/21/2025

Discovery of the work

Discovered through the internet or a friend (I can't remember), being passionate about mystics in general...

Impact on faith

It's always the same, when we get to know, we understand and we love... with Maria Valtorta we are immersed in the daily life and the life of Our Lord Jesus Christ becomes full of good sense.

Graces received

Maria Valtorta's work is a true enhancer of faith, it brings a deeper and more concrete meaning to the gospels, the parables that Our Lord Jesus Christ loves to use become full of truths and meaning... even though our priests enlighten us a lot during their homilies too!

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

Oh how numerous the objections are...! But holy works have always been attacked (it's a good sign) and paradoxically by our men of the Church, think of Saint Joan of Arc, Saint Padre Pio or Saint Louis-Marie Grignion de Monfort, Marthe Robin recently... Read... and then you can judge.

V茅ronique Delorme

France 路 07/21/2025

Discovery of the work

Mary of Nazareth: the texts of the day's mass followed by the visions received by Maria Valtorta on the gospel of the day and a deepening of faith: dictations from Christ to Maria.

Impact on faith

I bought 3 volumes of the Writings and took ten months to read the one from 1943 (about 4 pages per day). Exceptional spiritual nourishment. These texts enlighten me on many questions I had: for example the link between love and suffering, the sin against the Spirit, the gift of the Eucharist, the struggle between Heaven and Satan, etc.

Graces received

I have the feeling that Jesus himself instructs me, encourages me, enlightens me, strengthens me. What He says about his mother, the very Holy Virgin Mary makes me love and admire her more and more. Wanting to resemble her. Seeing her smile: it's one of my strongest wishes.

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

Read and judge for yourself. Nothing seems contrary to Catholicism to me. A very rich and beneficial read.

Impact on faith

Through the episodes that are not written in the Bible.

Graces received

Change in my way of understanding the faith of our Church.

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