Discovery of the work

I read the Passion (volume 10 of the Gospel as it was revealed to me) at home. But mostly on the internet and Youtube.

Impact on faith

This allowed me to better understand the Gospels and helped me to see souls through the eyes of Christ.

Graces received

Increase of my Faith, I live the sacraments, I am in peace and in joy, and I want to share the Love of God.

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

I would say that the Lord used a simple and humble soul to communicate to us the Word that gives life. I encourage you to read these writings. The true inner Peace that elevates the soul to its creator.

Discovery of the work

Through my mother-in-law.

Impact on faith

The work allows me to deepen and experience the presence of Jesus. Especially when I pray according to the method of St. Ignatius of Loyola.

The daily reading of the work allows me to stay on the path. However, I continue to read the Gospel proposed by the Church.

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

I will tell him that there is no contradiction with the teaching of our holy Church desired by Jesus himself.

Discovery of the work

When I was 18 years old, I experienced a particularly painful romantic breakup and my heart was filled with questions. By chance, I discovered a book in my house without really looking for it, titled The Notebooks of 1943, which piqued my curiosity and so I randomly opened it. In the excerpt that I read, Jesus made me discover the true meaning of the Lord's Prayer, which I knew mechanically, but had never really grasped the importance of the words. I then rediscovered my Faith in God.

Impact on faith

By introducing me to Jesus as he was during his life on earth, in a way so close and familiar that I could have believed he was living with me. I also understood that the work came from God through the exceptional clarity of Christ's actions and words both in the Gospel as it was revealed to me and in the notebooks of Maria Valtorta. This work never seemed to me to be a fiction inspired by the Gospel simply because the actions and words of Jesus made me question and reflect greatly and break some of my prejudices. I was then able to understand the homilies of certain priests and the importance of the sacraments in the Church and also the importance of its universality!

Graces received

Just under a year after starting to read the Notebooks and the Gospel as it was revealed to me, I finally returned to mass and little by little over the years, I ended up believing and understanding several truths of the faith, including the importance of the Virgin Mary who is an integral part of my life today, the worship of the souls in purgatory, the importance of personal prayer and a little later I even started to go back to confession regularly, which was particularly difficult, since in Quebec I had heard a lot of dark stories about the bad advice given by priests. My faith in Jesus and Mary gave me the courage to take the step and I now find the greatest good in going there frequently and I even encouraged my best friend to try the experience which also did him the greatest good.

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

To read it with a child's heart in order to be inspired by it. Maria Valtorta's work was only the beginning of my life of Faith since today I like to read the lives of the different saints of the Church and as Christ so well said we can recognize the tree by its fruits and the fruits of the work are very numerous and positive.

France 路 07/21/2025

Discovery of the work

I had been searching for the path to God for a long time, but swept up in an intense professional life where I daily encountered physical risk, I ignored the spiritual aspect of our life. Thus, I always pushed back the moment to take the first step. It was by reading the book "God, Science, the Proofs" by Bonassies/Bollor茅, then by watching the video "Maria Valtorta, a gift from God validated by science" that I discovered Maria. I bought the first volume, it was a shock. I was caught in the net of the Holy Spirit, to my greatest joy.

Impact on faith

Throughout the pages and visions of Maria, I felt as if I was transported with her into the world of Jesus. Coming from a scientific and technical culture, I conducted my reading relying on the cartography of Carlos Martinez, always starting the reading with the canonical Gospel. I should clarify that it was important for me to confront the message with reality. And the reality, from a Christian intuition, was the canonical texts. For six months, I lived with Jesus, Mary, Joseph, and the apostles. At first, I was put off by the (hyper)descriptive style of the work before understanding that these were the detailed proofs that the Lord was addressing to the scholars of the modern world, for the future.

Graces received

I really felt like the eleventh-hour worker from the Gospel of Matthew. I went from absolute shame, shame of having so much ignored my God and His love for me, to deep repentance, and to prayer. Today, only my wife (who read the work at my urging) is aware of this conversion. From one who called himself a Christian but did not practice, I seek every opportunity to worship God. I look forward to Sunday with eagerness and joy, I travel twenty kilometers every week to worship, I pray daily, I love to say the rosary, I no longer hesitate to confess and my library is regularly enriched with Christian books (bibles, breviaries, works of the saints...). I started the notebooks (it's meant for priests!). I am thinking of giving lectures to introduce Maria.

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

You are going to receive a tremendous shock, your heart will yo-yo, you will cry a lot, even if you are, like me, a man seasoned in the sufferings of the world. You will be immersed in the Love of Jesus and Mary for you. An ocean of Love that you do not suspect. You will understand the suffering of Jesus in the face of our sterile and distressing lives.

Jean-Pierre Ferreira

France 路 07/21/2025

Discovery of the work

Somewhat by chance, to tell the truth. I received a first publication from Mary of Nazareth without really paying attention to it and then I saw a slight difference between the Gospels and the writings of Maria VALTORTA. So I wanted to read the full passages. There my soul opened up with the impression of being enlightened. Today I can't do without reading these writings and feeling completely found, like a second birth. Since then, I go to mass and I no longer say "my God my God" but I try to do God's will on a daily basis.

Impact on faith

When I read the first passages, I was immediately absorbed as if I were living close to Jesus, the apostles. I was traveling through the reading of the gospels according to Maria Valtorta. This pushed me to seek God, it profoundly transformed me. I searched through the Gospels and through the writings of Maria Valtorta, this made them clearer.

Graces received

I go to mass every Sunday today, I read the Gospels and the writings of Maria Valtorta daily, I confess every month. I dedicate the first Friday of the month to the sacred heart of Jesus and the first Saturday of each month to the immaculate heart of Mary. I pray the rosary daily and the chaplet of mercy daily. I take communion. I have made several personal pilgrimages to Lourdes, Lisieux, La Salette, Fatima and Medugjore and Our Lady of Laus. Each time, it was God who pushed me to these places that I did not know. This has profoundly changed my faith.

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

I would say that if one wants to know Jesus, reading the work of Maria Valtorta is not simply reading but it is living Jesus and following him.

Timon Wacogne Depierre

France 路 07/21/2025

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-Fran莽ois Lav猫re 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 Barn茅rias.

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.

Discovery of the work

I first discovered the writings of Maria Valtorta thanks to an article in the Christian Family magazine, and then more directly through a friend.

Impact on faith

Reading the writings of Maria Valtorta has made me experience my faith more as a relationship with the Father and His Son. It has also given me a great taste for reading the canonical gospels.

Graces received

Reading the writings of Maria Valtorta has driven me to work daily on my flaws. It has sharpened my desire for prayer and given me the desire to read the canonical gospels more often.

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

Read and you will see.

Vianney MORAIN

France 路 07/21/2025

Discovery of the work

A friend had the volumes on his boat when I visited him. I tried to read them online, but it was too dense. I rediscovered the work at the World Youth Day in Lisbon, when I expressed the desire to learn more about the person of Jesus and to be able to ask him all the questions I had. The work was beginning to be transcribed into audio readings on Spotify.

Impact on faith

Before, I considered myself a Christian, with a disdain for the institutional church, and reading the Work, particularly Jesus' commentary, reconciled me with the necessity of maintaining unity in the Church despite its human imperfection. It also answered all the questions my mind needed to better reconnect with my heart. I was so much in rationality, I needed to nourish my sense of the concrete to then be free to be reborn into the spirituality of love.

Graces received

I have reflected on certain doctrines of faith. I understood the intentions behind them so as not to just apply them literally and feel guilty when these doctrines were difficult to apply.

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

You will discover a human Jesus in the supernatural sense of the term, You will discover His doctrine in a simple and gentle way through a story that surpasses the best series!

Discovery of the work

By the testimony of those who had read it.

Impact on faith

It is my visualization of the scenes described, which made me appropriate the life of Jesus. In fact, a three-dimensional image emerged from the Gospel. My senses allowed me to bring the text back to life. Jesus took his place by my side.

Graces received

A relationship has been established with Jesus, not as a historical figure but as a current character responding to the meaning of my existence.

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

Let him be depicted through the reading of this book. All his senses will be able to apprehend the divine. Thus, enter into another biblical dimension.
