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.
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...
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.
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?

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

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

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.
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 :)
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.
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.
