Discovery of the work
It was recommended by my sister-in-law, with much perseverance on her part.
Impact on love for the Gospel
By witnessing how Jesus acted in everyday situations, especially in bearing with other people's faults, I have made a conscious effort to pattern my behavior after His. I have gained a much greater understanding and appreciation of the Gospel narrative, as well as clarity regarding many of the most unknown or speculative stories in the Bible. The writings, combined with their complete consistency with Catholic teachings, have served as a means for growing in personal holiness, prayer, and contemplation.
Concrete impact on faith life
The grace of temperance in resisting temptations to overindulge in earthly goods and pleasures, leaning on prayer and trust to strengthen my resolve amidst trials.
What would you say to someone who hesitates to discover this work?
If you have ever had the desire to know Jesus personally—to see how He treated people, how He exemplified merciful love—this is for you. This is a divine gift like no other. It towers over all other works of private revelation of the Gospel account. It was given for these times because Jesus knows what’s coming, and He wants His little ones to be fortified with His love.
