But where do you send them? <br /> <br /> - To Antioch.&quot;        <br /> <br /> It is the cradle of a future active Christian community.<br /> <br /> ==Inhabitants or natives==<br /> [[Encountered Characters#25 Characters met in Syria|Alphée of Antioch]], [[Encountered Characters#25 Characters met in Syria|Amiclea]], [[Anne of Ptolmai]], [[Encountered Characters#25 Characters met in Syria|Berenice]], [[Encountered Characters#25 Characters met in Syria|Cassius]], [[Encountered Characters#25 Characters met in Syria|CornElijah]], [[Philip of Antioch|Philip, Lazarus’ steward]], [[Zeno]] the wealthy Greek merchant. <br /> <br /> ==Description==<br /> For the [[Apostles]], this capital of the Roman province of Syria was the end of the world. [[Theophilus]], the father of [[Lazarus of Bethany|Lazarus]], [[Martha of Bethany|Martha]], and [[Mary of Magdala (Magdalene)|Mary]], was its governor. [[Jesus]] sends [[Sintica]] and [[John of Endor]], pursued by the Pharisees with the complicity of [[Judas Iscariot the Apostle|Judas]]. They take refuge in one of the last properties owned by Lazarus and establish one of the first Christian communities there. &lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;Here is Antioch with its towers on the ramparts. We will enter through the gate near the river. Lazarus' house is not far from the walls. Very fortified. Walls of grand height and thickness, besides the hundred towers which, as you see, look like giants standing on the walls, and impassable moats at their feet. Even Silpio (Sulpius) has placed its summits at the service of defense, like buttresses of the walls in the most delicate places.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;From one of the terraces of Zeno's house,&quot; writes Sintica, &quot;I see Antioch with its quays on the river, the Legate's palace on the island, its royal streets, its walls with hundreds of powerful towers, and if I turn around, I see the peak of Sulpius dominating me with its barracks, and the second palace of the Legate.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;The palatial districts seem to be grouped in the Onpholus and Nimpheus quarters. The green ridge of the mountains surrounding Antioch is dominated by the peaks of Casios and Aman.<br /> <br /> In [https://www.maria-valtorta.org/Publication/TOME%2006/06-153.htm EMV 461], [[Maria Valtorta]] mentions &quot;''the rich palaces of Onpholus and Nimpheus''.&quot; There were indeed monuments in ancient Antioch, as in other Roman cities, named Omphalus and Nymphaeum where official ceremonies were held.<br /> <br /> '''The NYMPHAEUM or NYMPHEUM''' (numphaion or numpheion) was a building dedicated to the nymphs&lt;ref&gt;Pliny &quot;Natural Histories&quot; XXXV, 12, 43.&lt;/ref&gt;. Under this title, it designated a large, elevated room decorated with columns, statues, paintings, featuring a fountain in the middle from which pure water flowed, creating a pleasant and fresh retreat&lt;ref&gt;Anthony Rich &quot;Dictionary of Roman and Greek Antiquities&quot; 1883.&lt;/ref&gt;. The Nymphaeum of Antioch, particularly grandiose, supplied water to the whole city. It was destroyed during the earthquake that devastated the city&lt;ref&gt;Reported by Evagrius Scholasticus in his &quot;Ecclesiastical History&quot; (I 3 c 12). Evagrius Scholasticus (not to be confused with Evagrius Ponticus) was born around 535/6 in Epiphania (Hamath) in Syria and died around 594. Following Eusebius of Caesarea, he composed an &quot;Ecclesiastical History&quot; covering the period from 431 to about 590.&lt;/ref&gt;.<br /> <br /> '''THE OMPHALOS''' or “navel” was originally a sacred stone at Delphi. It was supposed to indicate the center of the world. Similar stones were then erected in several cities around the Mediterranean. Then the name Omphalos was given to the central square of the city. In Antioch, Antiochos Soter, son of Seleucus Nicator, erected the Omphalum at the city center where stood a remarkable statue of Apollo. Libanius, (314-393), describing the governor's palace which occupied a quarter of the river island, specifies that the intersection of the two main colonnaded avenues (&quot;stoas&quot;) was marked by the quadrifrons (&quot;omphalos&quot;), also mentioned as the &quot;Tetrapylon of the Elephants&quot; by Malalas.<br /> <br /> It was precisely near the Nymphaeum.<br /> <br /> ==Notable facts==<br /> <br /> [[Peter the Apostle|Peter]] and six of his companions accompany [[Sintica|Syntyche]] and [[John of Endor]] forced into exile on the lands of [[Lazarus of Bethany|Lazarus]]<br /> <br /> Establishment of the first Christian community outside Palestine by [[Sintica]], after the death of [[John of Endor|John of Endor]]. She takes refuge in the house of [[Zeno]] the Greek merchant.<br /> <br /> ==Its name==<br /> The current Antakya on the Turkish-Syrian border, capital of the Turkish province of Hatay. It is located on the left bank of the Orontes, near Mount Silpius (509m), and 25 km from the sea by the river.<br /> <br /> Coordinates: 36° 12' N / 36° 097' E<br /> <br /> ==Where is it mentioned in the work?==<br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;There are more than fifteen mentions of Antioch in &quot;The Gospel as Revealed to Me&quot;<br /> <br /> [https://www.maria-valtorta.org/Publication/TOME%2004/04-176.htm#CEV31004 EMV 310.4]<br /> <br /> [https://www.maria-valtorta.org/Publication/TOME%2005/05-010.htm EMV 322]&lt;br&gt;[https://www.maria-valtorta.org/Publication/TOME%2006/06-153.htm EMV 461]&lt;br&gt;[https://www.maria-valtorta.org/Publication/TOME%2010/10-018.htm EMV 632]&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Learn more about this place==<br /> &quot;The numerous and relevant descriptions of the city, 'this little Rome, of this great city, queen of the East,' and its surroundings cannot but catch the attention even of the most skeptical reader&lt;ref&gt;J.-F. Lavère, The Valtorta Enigma, volume 1 pp. 94 to 99.&lt;/ref&gt;.&quot; ''[[Jean-François Lavère|Jean-François LAVERE]]''<br /> <br /> === Historical references ===<br /> Seleucus Nicator, general of Alexander the Great and first of the Seleucid line, founded in 300 BC on the site of &quot;''Epi Daphne'',&quot; the city ''&quot;of Antiochos&quot;'' so named in memory of his father Antiochus.<br /> <br /> It was also called &quot;''Antioch on the Orontes''&quot; to distinguish it from fifteen other cities founded by the same Seleucus Nicator, all bearing the same name. Then populated by seven to eight thousand inhabitants, it ended up counting up to 700,000 inhabitants.<br /> <br /> A prosperous commercial city, a major center of the textile industry and rich in workshops working precious metals, Antioch enjoyed great prestige and played an important role in the East. Arranged amphitheater-like, mountains protected the city, complemented by 12 km of crenellated walls reinforced by 150 towers.<br /> [[File:Antioche02.jpg|right|frameless|350x350px|Antioch.]]<br /> From the heights of Mount Silpius, the city tiered down to the banks of the Orontes. Cultivations stretched as far as the eye could see around the city: carefully cultivated olive trees and vineyards which produced wines &quot;''sweeter than those of Rhodes''.&quot;<br /> <br /> From its countless gardens came all sorts of fine foods. No other city in the East was as well supplied with water: fountains and springs were abundant; norias irrigated the orchards.<br /> <br /> In 25 BC, Antioch became a major Roman garrison city known as &quot;''Colonia Caesareia Antiochia''.&quot;<br /> <br /> The [[Israel, Jewish people|Jews]] themselves were well treated, obtained the same rights as the other inhabitants, all Macedonians or Greeks, and formed a large colony with its own ethnarch, as Josephus informs us (Antiquities XII, 3, 1; XIV, 42, 6). A little later, the city becomes a refuge for those fleeing Jerusalem during a persecution.<br /> [[File:Antioche08-2.jpg|right|frameless|356x356px|Antioch.]]<br /> Germanicus died there poisoned in AD 19. The city was then the third largest city of the entire Roman Empire, after Rome and Alexandria. Tiberius had the long colonnades of Herod extended along Silpius and strengthened the city walls.<br /> <br /> In 1882, Émile Isambert&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[http://books.google.fr/books?id=67kBAAAAYAAJ&amp;printsec=frontcover&amp;dq=Emile+Isambert&amp;source=bl&amp;ots=X2oWNN8PjN&amp;sig=GW92M8dReuUBaaFHbp8n2e_dCf0&amp;hl=fr&amp;ei=XJ3XTI_pGsuR4gaa04T4Bw&amp;sa=X&amp;oi=book_result&amp;ct=result&amp;resnum=1&amp;ved=0CBcQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&amp;q&amp;f=false Descriptive and Archaeological Itinerary of the East]&quot;, page 618.&lt;/ref&gt; noted that 50 towers out of the original 130 still remain.<br /> <br /> ===Biblical references===<br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;The [[Disciples]] had scattered following the persecution after the death of [[Stephen, the first martyr|Stephen]]. They went as far as Phoenicia, the island of Cyprus and Antioch, but they only preached the Word to the Jews. However, some of them, who were from Cyprus and Cyrene, went to Antioch and also spoke to the Greeks, preaching the Good News about the Lord Jesus. And the Lord was with them; a great many people believed and turned to the Lord. Soon the [[Church]] in [[Jerusalem]] heard the news. It sent [[Joseph called Barnabas|Barnabas]] to Antioch. When he arrived, he saw what the Grace of [[God]] had accomplished and he was filled with [[Joy, happiness|joy]]. He encouraged all the [[Believers, Beliefs, Faithful, Righteous|believers]] to remain faithful to the Lord with steadfast courage. Barnabas was indeed a [[Man, Humanity, Human|good man]], full of [[Holy Spirit, Paraclete, Spirit|the Holy Spirit]] and [[Faith, conviction|faith]]. And a great many people attached themselves to the Lord. Barnabas then went to Tarsus to look for [[Saul (Paul) the Apostle|Saul]]. When he found him, he brought him to Antioch. They spent a whole year teaching together in the Church and [[Teaching, Catechism|taught]] many people. It was in Antioch that, for the first time, the disciples of Jesus were called 'Christians'&quot;.&lt;ref&gt;[https://bible.usccb.org/bible/acts/11 Acts 11:19-26].&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;There were prophets and teachers in the Church at Antioch: Barnabas, Simeon called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, [[Manaen]], a childhood friend of [[Herod Antipas|Herod]] the tetrarch, and Saul.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;[https://bible.usccb.org/bible/acts/13 Acts 13:1].&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Explore==<br /> {{#widget:MapEN|marker_lat=36.204078698153154|marker_lng=36.15531677230177|zoom=7}}<br /> <br /> ==Notes and references==<br /> [[Category:Locations]]<br /> <br /> &lt;references /&gt;<br /> [[fr:Antioche]]</div>

<p>Emmanuel: </p> <hr /> <div>[[File:JoachimFerri.jpg|thumb|Drawing of Joachim by [[Lorenzo Ferri]] Salton according to indications from [[Maria Valtorta|Maria Valtorta]]. Source: documentary collection of the [[Maria Valtorta Heritage Foundation]].]]<br /> A Judean of the lineage of David, he was forced to take refuge in [[Nazareth]]. He had married [[Anne of Aaron, mother of the Virgin Mary|Anne]] of the lineage of Aaron and became the [[Parents, Father, Mother|father]] of the [[Virgin Mary]]. Thus, the royal line of David and the priestly line of Aaron are found in the ancestry of [[Jesus]].<br /> <br /> This couple was driven from the land of David by political persecution which [[Poor, Poverty|impoverished]] them immeasurably… &quot;And again, and again. [[Sick, Illnesses|Diseases]], calamities of bad weather, insolences of the [[Power(s), Strength(s), The First|powerful]]... so many blows of bElijahr in the weak castle of their modest prosperity.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.maria-valtorta.org/Publication/TOME%2001/01-015.htm EMV 9]&lt;/ref&gt; [[Priest, Pastor, Spiritual Guide|Priest]], for he was such as guardian of the [[Virgin Mary|Ark of God]].&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.maria-valtorta.org/Publication/TOME%2003/03-057.htm EMV 196]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Added to this is the trial of sterility which, however, does not diminish the mutual [[Love, Charity, To Love|love]] of this [[Union, Marriage, Unity|couple]], nor their faith in [[God]]. Like Anne the Woman of Elcana, mother of Samuel, or [[Elizabeth, mother of John the Baptist|Elizabeth]], mother of [[John the Baptist]], his Woman will become [[Parents, Father, Mother|mother]] late in life after having [[Consecrated, Religious Vows|consecrated]] the future child to the [[Temple]].

They were deeply religious&quot; (Mary, Gateway to Heaven, chapter 1)&lt;/ref&gt; comes from the garden. He is slightly shorter than Anne, his head covered with all white hair. His fair Face is framed by a square beard, two azure eyes like turquoise between eyelashes of a light chestnut almost blond. His garment is dark brown.&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.maria-valtorta.org/Publication/TOME%2001/01-002.htm EMV 2]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Generous:&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;Joachim and his habit, as long as it was possible for him, of keeping half of the harvest for himself and giving the rest to the [[Poor, Poverty|poor]], something the elders of Nazareth remember&quot;.&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.maria-valtorta.org/Publication/TOME%2006/06-099.htm EMV 410]&lt;/ref&gt;-&lt;ref&gt;&quot;They made three equal parts of their income.

On July 26, the [[Church]] honors Saint Joachim.<br /> <br /> ===The royal lineage of Joachim===<br /> Several texts attest that the Virgin Mary is God of royal lineage by flesh (source: [https://www.mariedeNazareth.com/3562.0.html?&amp;L=0 www.mariedeNazareth.com]). According to the Gospel, Jesus took [[Flesh, meaning|flesh]] only from the [[Virgin Mary]]: It is therefore only through her that he can be called &quot;Son of David&quot; as the quoted verses below indicate:<br /> <br /> - [https://bible.usccb.org/bible/luke/1 Luke 1:32]: &quot;He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High.

<p>Emmanuel: Text replacement - &quot;The Gospel as It Was Revealed to Me&quot; to &quot;The Gospel as Revealed to Me&quot;</p> <hr /> <div>{{Other|See also:|God|Holy Spirit, Paraclete, Spirit|Jesus}}<br /> [[File:The Holy Trinity Cretan School.jpg|thumb|The Holy Trinity]]<br /> The Trinity is the affirmation that there is only one [[God]] in three persons.&lt;blockquote&gt;We do not confess three Gods, but one God in three persons: &quot;the consubstantial Trinity&quot;.&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.catho.org/9.php?d=bwa#csw Council of Constantinople II].&lt;/ref&gt; The divine persons do not share the single divinity but each of them is whole God.&lt;ref&gt;''Catechism of the Catholic Church'', [https://www.maria-valtorta.org/Ressources/0198-0267.htm § 253].&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;The Holy Trinity is a foundation of the Christian [[Faith, conviction|faith]], fully revealed by [[Jesus|Jesus Christ]]. Indeed, it is a mystery that can only be known if revealed from above.&lt;blockquote&gt;The Trinity is strictly a mystery of faith, one of the &quot;[[Hidden|Hidden]] mysteries in God, which cannot be known unless [[Knowledge, Foresight, Thought, Revelations, Exegesis|revealed]] from above.&lt;ref&gt;''CCC'', [https://www.maria-valtorta.org/Ressources/0198-0267.htm#CEC0237 §237 and following]. See also the [http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/paul_vi/homilies/1968/documents/hf_p-vi_hom_19680630_it.html ''Credo of the People of God, June 30, 1968'']&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;The concept of the Trinity exists outside of the Christian [[Religion]], but the same notion does not cover the same reality.&lt;ref&gt;In Hinduism for example, it is a triad responsible for the cycle of beings and things: Brahma who creates them, Vishnu who maintains them, and Shiva who destroys them. They are distinct from Brahman, the eternal Absolute who rules over them.&lt;/ref&gt; <br /> <br /> Some Christian movements, like other [[Religion|Religions]], reject the concept of the Trinity and relegate [[Jesus]] to the rank of great [[Prophet, Prophecies|prophets]]. <br /> <br /> But the [[Baptism|baptized]], by becoming a [[Children, Childhood|child]] of God, gains access to His intimacy. This can be approached through inspired descriptions made to us by mystics, among whom [[Maria Valtorta]] ranks.  <br /> <br /> She had two main [[Visions and Dictations of Maria Valtorta|visions]] that Jesus comments on.<br /> <br /> == The Two Visions of Maria Valtorta ==<br /> <br /> === The First Vision: God is Light ===<br /> That of July 1, 1943&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.maria-valtorta.org/Quaderni/430701.htm#Trinite Catechesis of July 1, 1943]&lt;/ref&gt; was preceded by a [[Visions and Dictations of Maria Valtorta|dictation]] from Jesus:&lt;blockquote&gt;God has no [[Flesh, meaning|body]], He told her: He is [[Light, Lamps|light]]... Our Trinity is light. An unlimited light. Source of itself, living of itself, operating in itself. The [[World, society, the Earth, the universe|universe]] is not as big as It is infinite. Its essence fills the [[Paradise, Heaven|Heavens]], glides over [[Creation, creatures, Genesis|creation]], dominates the infernal caves. It does not penetrate them - that would be the end of [[Hell, Hells|Hell]] - but crushes them. Its sparkling is [[Beatitudes, Blessed|beatific]] in [[Paradise, Heaven|Heaven]], [[Consolation|consoling]] on [[World, society, the Earth, the universe|Earth]], terrifying in Hell. Everything is triple in Us. Forms, effects, powers. <br /> <br /> &quot;God is light, of an immense, majestic, and peaceful light: an infinite circle embracing all creation, from the moment it was said: Let there be light&lt;ref&gt;Cf. [https://bible.usccb.org/bible/genesis/1 Genesis 1:3].&lt;/ref&gt;. It will continue to embrace what remains in its ultimate form with those who will be, in Heaven, [[Eternity, Eternal|eternal]] with Him. <br /> <br /> Within the eternal circle of the Father, there is a second circle, generated by the Father, which operates differently, but not oppositely, for the Essence is one. It is the [[Jesus|Son]]. His light, more vibrant, does not only give life to bodies, but gives to [[Soul|Souls]], through His [[Sacrifice, Blood of Christ|Sacrifice]], the life they had lost.  <br /> <br /> Within the second circle, produced by the operation of the first two circles, there is a third one. Its light is even brighter and more vibrant. It is the [[Holy Spirit, Paraclete, Spirit|Holy Spirit]]: [[Love, Charity, To Love|Love]] produced by the relationship of the Father with the Son, intermediary between the Two and consequence of the Two, wonder of wonders.&lt;/blockquote&gt;The Trinity is very often represented by a triangle, but Maria Valtorta contemplates it, in this first vision, as an infinite circle of light, beyond Creation.   <br /> <br /> Hildegarde Von Bingen (1098-1179), recently declared Doctor of the Church&lt;ref&gt;On October 7, 2012 by [[Benedict XVI and Maria Valtorta|Benedict XVI]], at the same time as Saint John of Avila.&lt;/ref&gt;, had an identical vision eight centuries earlier. She wrote in the [http://livres-mystiques.com/partieTEXTES/Hildegarde/Tome2/vision2.html Scivias], one of her works&lt;ref&gt;Hildegarde Von Bingen, ''Scivias'', II, 2 and III, 7.&lt;/ref&gt;:&lt;blockquote&gt;I saw a splendid light and, in it, a human form, sapphire-colored, burning with a bright and sweet Fire. This splendid light penetrated all the bright Fire, the bright Fire infused itself into this splendid light. Together, they penetrated this entire human form, making only one light, by one virtue and one Power. I heard this living light that said to me: &quot;... you see a splendid light that has no origin, and to which nothing can be lacking: It designates the Father and, in it, a human form, without any stain of Imperfection, envy, or iniquity, designates the Son, begotten by the Father, before time, holy in divinity; but then, incarnated in time, holy in humanity, and coming into the world.  <br /> <br /> It burns entirely with a bright and sweet Fire, which without any touch of dry and dark mortality, demonstrates the Holy Spirit, whom the only Son of God, conceived holy in flesh and born of a virgin in time, spread in the world the light of true clarity.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Light is therefore both nature and effect of God. At the [[Transfiguration]] of Jesus on [[Mount Tabor|Tabor]], the [[Apostles]] present testify that His Face shone &quot;like the sun&quot; and that His clothes became &quot;white as light&quot;.&lt;ref&gt;[https://bible.usccb.org/bible/matthew/17 Matthew 17:1-18]&lt;/ref&gt;-&lt;ref&gt;[https://aelf.org/bible/Mk/9 Mark 9:2-27]&lt;/ref&gt;-&lt;ref&gt;[https://aelf.org/bible/Lk/9 Luke 9:28-42]&lt;/ref&gt; and &lt;ref&gt;[https://www.maria-valtorta.org/Publication/TOME%2005/05-037.htm EMV 349]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> [[John of Zebedee the Apostle|John]] opens his Gospel with the affirmation that Jesus is Good Light come into the world and that He is God.&lt;ref&gt;[https://bible.usccb.org/bible/john/1 John 1:1-9]&lt;/ref&gt; This echoes the psalmist's cry: &quot;The Lord is my light and my [[Redemption, Salvation, Redeemer|salvation]]!&quot;&lt;ref&gt;[https://bible.usccb.org/bible/psalms/26 Psalm 26/27]&lt;/ref&gt;  <br /> <br /> The Son is begotten by the Father and not created, the Creed explains. His existence is therefore an [[Eternity, Eternal|eternal]] present. &quot;An eternal generation,&quot; says [[Marie d'Agréda and Maria Valtorta|Marie d'Agréda]] in her vision of the Trinity. In begetting Him, the Father gave everything to His only Son except His being Father, affirmed the Council of Florence&lt;ref&gt;Cf. DS 1300-1301 (''Denzinger-Schönmetzer'', also called ''Enchiridion Symbolorum, definitionum et declarationum de rebus fidei et morum''). This work is an official collection of acts of the [[Church]].&lt;/ref&gt;. What Jesus proclaims during the Last Supper.&lt;ref&gt;[https://bible.usccb.org/bible/john/17 John 17:10]&lt;/ref&gt;  <br /> <br /> In&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.maria-valtorta.org/Publication/TOME%2007/07-182.htm#Trinit%C3%A9 EMV 487]&lt;/ref&gt;, Jesus justifies the begetting before the Pharisees of the [[Temple]] who thought they knew Him holy&lt;ref&gt;[https://bible.usccb.org/bible/john/7 John 7:25-30]&lt;/ref&gt;: &lt;blockquote&gt;The [[Angels]], spiritual [[Spirituality, Spirit|creatures]], were created by God like [[Man, Humanity, Human|man]], like [[Animals, Domestic Animals|animals]], like everything that was created. But they were not begotten by Him. For God begets only another Himself, because the [[Perfect, Perfection|Perfect]] can only beget a Perfect, another Being similar to Himself, so as not to degrade His [[Perfect, Perfection|perfection]] by the generation of a [[Creation, creatures, Genesis|creature]] inferior to Himself.  <br /> <br /> If then God cannot beget the Angels, nor raise them to the dignity of being His sons, who will be the Son to whom He says: &quot;You are my Son. Today I have begotten You&quot;?&lt;ref&gt;[https://bible.usccb.org/bible/psalms/2 Psalm 2:7].&lt;/ref&gt; &quot; And what nature will He have if, in begetting Him, He says to His Angels pointing to Him: &quot;And let all the Angels of God worship Him&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.aelf.org/bible/Heb/1 Hebrews 1:6] quoting [http://theotex.org/septuaginta/deuteronome/deuteronome_32.html Deuteronomy 32:43] (Septuagint version) and [http://theotex.org/septuaginta/psaumes/psaumes_96.html Psalm 96:7] (idem) where the Text applies to Yahweh (Jehovah). The [[Christ, Messiah, Christianity, Parousia|Christ]] is implicitly His equal.&lt;/ref&gt;&quot;.&lt;/blockquote&gt;The dictation of July 1, 1943&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.maria-valtorta.org/Quaderni/430701.htm#Trinite July 1, 1943]&lt;/ref&gt; to Maria Valtorta continues with the intimate description of The Holy Trinity:&lt;blockquote&gt;Thought created the Word, and Thought and Word love each other. Love is the [[Holy Spirit, Paraclete, Spirit|Paraclete]]. He operates on your [[The Spirit|spirit]], on your Soul, on your [[Flesh, meaning|flesh]]. He consecrates the Temple of your person, created by the Father in the image of the One God in Three Persons and [[Redemption, Salvation, Redeemer|redeemed]] by the Son. By the Father, the Holy Spirit is the anointing. He is [[Grace]] to benefit from the [[Sacrifice, Blood of Christ|sacrifice]] of the Son, [[Knowledge, Foresight, Thought, Revelations, Exegesis|knowledge]] and light to understand the [[Word, Verb|word]] of God. His light is more circumscribed, not because it is more limited than the others, but because this light is the spirit of the spirit of God. It is, therefore, very powerful in its condensation, as in its effects.  <br /> <br /> That is why I say: When the Paraclete comes, He will [[To instruct, to educate|instruct]] you.&lt;ref&gt;[https://bible.usccb.org/bible/john/16 John 16:13]&lt;/ref&gt; Even I, who am the Thought of the Father become [[Word, Verb|Word]], cannot make you understand as much as the Holy Spirit can in a single flash.  <br /> <br /> [[Saul (Paul) the Apostle|Saint Paul]] addressed this petition to the Corinthians: &quot;Do not forget that you are the Temple of God and that The Spirit of God dwells in you.&lt;ref&gt;[https://bible.usccb.org/bible/1corinthians/3 1 Corinthians 3:16]&lt;/ref&gt; … The Temple of God is sacred and that is what you are.&lt;/blockquote&gt;We are therefore made sacred by the anointing of The Holy Spirit as Jesus reminds Maria Valtorta. <br /> <br /> He continues:&lt;blockquote&gt; &quot;If every knee must bow before the Son, every [[The Spirit|spirit]] must bow before the Paraclete, for the Holy Spirit gives life to your spirit. It is the [[Love, Charity, To Love|Love]] that created the Universe, instructed the first [[Servant, To Serve, Service|servants]] of God, urged the Father to give the [[Decalogue, Ten Commandments|commandments]], enlightened the [[Prophet, Prophecies|prophets]] and, with [[Virgin Mary|Mary]], conceived the [[Redemption, Salvation, Redeemer|Redeemer]], put Him on the [[Cross, To Crucify, Crucifixion|cross]], supported the [[Martyr, Martyredom, Persecutions|martyrs]], directed the [[Church]] and works the [[Miracles, wonders and signs|wonders]] of [[Grace]].&quot;  <br /> <br /> &quot;Unbearable to sight and human nature, His white Fire concentrates within Himself the Father and the Son. He is the incomprehensible jewel of our eternal [[Seduction, Bewitchery, Charm|bewitchery]]. Motionless in the abyss of [[Paradise, Heaven|Heaven]], He attracts to Him all the spirits of my triumphant Church and draws to Him those who know how to live by the spirit in the militant Church.&quot;   &lt;/blockquote&gt;The creed of the Catholic Church stipulates that The Holy Spirit proceeds, at the same time, from the Father and the Son (filioque). This affirmation, introduced in 451 by the Council of Chalcedon, was however a reason for dispute with the Eastern Churches.<br /> <br /> Is Jesus the lesser part of the Trinity, surpassed by His Father and the Holy Spirit? He is equal to them. In a dictation of February 23, 1946, Jesus, second person of the Trinity, presents Himself as “the holy Word who concentrates in Himself the fullness of God, with His will, His power, His knowledge, His love and all His other attributes; the holy Word who possesses all The Holy Trinity.” Three centuries before, with his knack for phrasing, Marie d'Agréda wrote in her trinitarian vision: &quot;In this inseparable trinity, there is nothing that can be said first nor last, greater nor lesser. The three persons are equally eternal in themselves and eternally equal.”   <br /> <br /> Shortly before that, in [[Notebooks from 1945 to 1950]]&lt;ref&gt; [https://www.maria-valtorta.org/Quaderni/460120.htm#Jesus Book of Azarias, dictation of January 20, 1946]&lt;/ref&gt;, in her book, <br /> [[Book of Azarias|Azarias]], her guardian angel, entrusted her with: &lt;blockquote&gt;Jesus is the synthesis of what the Trinity and the Unity of God is. He is the perfection of the Three summarized in one Person. An abyss of perfection before whom the heavenly armies as well as the blissful multitudes of Paradise prostrate themselves in [[Adoration]]. An abyss of perfection that could be - and still can be - understood and accepted by those who possess [[Love, Charity, To Love|love]] and by them alone.&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> === Second Vision: The Virgin Mary within The Holy Trinity ===<br /> [[File:MarieTrinite.gif|thumb|The [[Virgin Mary]] - Drawing by [[Maria Valtorta]]]]<br /> On October 24, 1947, Maria Valtorta had another vision of the Trinity in its &quot;incandescent form of the triangle by which it shows itself to our human senses&quot;.<br /> <br /> The triangle is indeed the oldest sign of the Trinity. Saint Augustine, in the 5th century, was wary of it, as the Manicheans worshipped the Trinity in this form. It remained little widespread until the 15th century. In the 17th and 18th centuries, it enjoyed great popularity. The meaning of this symbol is clarified by inscribing inside the name ''Deus-Jehovah'' in Hebrew, or by placing an eye signifying that God sees all. It has been taken up in the symbols of Freemasonry which gives it another meaning.&lt;ref&gt;Source: &quot;The Bible and the Saints, Iconographic Guide&quot;, Flammarion, 1990. Rouen Catholic.&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> In her second vision, Maria Valtorta sees the [[Virgin Mary]] standing at the center of this divine and radiant sign, in her most brilliant [[Glory, To Glorify|glorified]] aspect.  <br /> <br /> The voice of the eternal Father tells her:&lt;blockquote&gt;Thus Mary is in us. Let the theologians understand the meaning and content of this vision about the power and knowledge of Mary, to whom all Love is given, to whom all [[Wise Men, Wisdom|Wisdom]] is revealed and before whom all [[Power(s), Strength(s), The First|Power]] bows to hear her.&lt;/blockquote&gt;Maria Valtorta marvels at the brightness of the vision and wonders about its meaning:&lt;blockquote&gt;I believe the Most High wants to show me this vision to make me understand that Mary is great, very great, second only to God who is the first, but not like God, who is immense, infinite. The censors of the Holy Office noted a similar statement expressed in&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.maria-valtorta.org/Publication/TOME%2001/01-001.htm EMV 1]&lt;/ref&gt;. The explanations provided with the affirmation &quot;Mary may be called the second-born of the Father&quot; would have avoided a &quot;heresy&quot;. It corresponds to certain theological foundations. See&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.maria-valtorta.org/Publication/TOME%2001/01-001-2.htm the refutation]&lt;/ref&gt;. The explanation given by Azarias confirms it. &lt;/blockquote&gt;A few days later&lt;ref&gt;[[Notebooks from 1945 to 1950]], dictation of November 9, 1947.&lt;/ref&gt;, she received this explanation from her guardian angel:&lt;blockquote&gt;The Most High Lord wanted to make you understand the meaning of the words of Mary at Tre-Fontane (Three Fountains). Mary is enveloped, - I could even say &quot;contained&quot; - in The Holy Trinity in which she was, before time existed, and of which she was the Tabernacle. She contained within her the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit containing Jesus, in whom is the unity of the Word, the Father, and the Holy Spirit. Since she is thus the love of the One and Triune God, Revelation is her treasure. She is its sweet and beloved Queen, dispenser of Wisdom, she who gives the Word. She is the Spouse and Mother of Wisdom and the Word, the virginal Source fertilized by one God and from whom flow the rivers of Living Water: Eternal life of the one who drinks of it.&lt;/blockquote&gt;The Tre-Fountains (Tre-Fontane) are the supposed place of the martyrdom of Saint [[Saul (Paul) the Apostle|Paul]] whose severed head bounced three times giving birth to three springs. On April 12, 1947, some months before these dictations, the Virgin had appeared to Bruno Cornacchiola and his children. She spoke to him of her [[Assumption and Dormition of the Virgin Mary|Assumption]] and entrusted:&lt;blockquote&gt;I am the one who lives at the Heart of the divine Trinity. I am the Virgin of Revelation (of the Apocalypse). You persecute me, stop now!&lt;ref&gt;&quot;Sono colei che sono nella Trinità divina. Sono la Vergine della Rivelazione. Tu mi perseguiti, ora basta !&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;Bruno Cornacchiola had become Adventist, hostile to [[Pius XII and Maria Valtorta|the Pope]] whom he planned to assassinate.<br /> <br /> == Remarkable Points ==<br /> <br /> === Surprising Premonitions ===<br /> Several things are surprising in these visions:<br /> <br /> First, the allusion by the Virgin of Tre-Fontane to her Assumption: Jesus had just clarified to Maria Valtorta, in His dictation of October 23, 1947&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.maria-valtorta.org/Quaderni/471023.htm Dictation of October 23, 1947]&lt;/ref&gt;, the importance of this Assumption. He entrusted her with His wish to see this dogma recognized during the coming holy year (1950). He added: &quot;If you hear what I say through the [[The Work Given to Maria Valtorta|work]], you will communicate these other words to whom you know.&quot; But the rest does not reveal the identity of the designated recipient.   <br /> <br /> Coincidence of the calendar? It was around this time that the Pope began to read [[The Gospel as Revealed to Me|The Gospel as Revealed to Me]] which he encouraged to be published. On December 9, 1949, Bruno Cornacchiola personally met [[Pius XII and Maria Valtorta|Pius XII]]: did he speak to him of this presentation of the Virgin Mary which is not without recalling the &quot;[[Immaculate Conception of Mary|I am the Immaculate Conception]]&quot; of Lourdes? In any case, the Dogma of the Assumption was proclaimed on November 1, 1950&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/pius_xii/apost_constitutions/documents/hf_p-xii_apc_19501101_munificentissimus-deus_it.html Apostolic Constitution Munificentissimus Deus.].&lt;/ref&gt;, the date on which the Visions and Dictations of Maria Valtorta ceased, except for some sporadic manifestations until 1954. There is convergence of facts absent influence.  <br /> <br /> Then the link made by Azarias between the vision of Mary in the Trinity and the message of Tre-Fontane. This message remained secret until 1949 and known only by a few ecclesiastics. Maria Valtorta thus had no knowledge of it. When she commented at length, two months later&lt;ref&gt;Ib°, notes of December 31, 1947.&lt;/ref&gt;, on a booklet published about Tre-Fontane&lt;ref&gt;Giulio Loccatelli, ''The Virgin appeared and spoke in the cave of Tre-Fontane'', Editions Unitas, October 1947.&lt;/ref&gt;, she was completely unaware of this part of the message.   <br /> <br /> The two events are not to be dissociated if one believes the confession of the Virgin Mary to Maria Valtorta on October 12 and 13, 1947:&lt;blockquote&gt;Mary invites me to pray the [[Rosary]] a lot. The Rosary is the best defense of the papacy, the Church, [[Peace]] and our [[Homeland]]. She says it is for this reason she appeared in Rome (at Tre-Fontane) and also to shake the unbelievers, the indifferent, those who are hostile or opposed to the [[Supernatural, Occult|supernatural]], finally those who do not believe in the work (name given to the life of Jesus which has just been completed), which is the &quot;[[Glory, To Glorify|glory]] of her Son and where the salvation of many is found].&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;In the article published on January 6, 1960, ''L'Osservatore Romano'' comments on the placing on the Index of Maria Valtorta's life of Jesus. It raises four objections of which two complement each other. First the affirmation that &quot;Mary may be called the second-born of the Father,&quot; recognizing that the clarifications that follow avoid an &quot;authentic heresy.&quot; Then a poetic vision celebrating the Virgin Mary in the bosom of the Trinity. A hermetic notion for the author.   <br /> <br /> What we have just mentioned does not seem &quot;hermetic,&quot; quite the opposite. The descriptions by Maria Valtorta also recall the act of faith of [[John Paul II and Maria Valtorta|John Paul II]] in his book ''My Vocation, Gift and Mystery''&lt;ref&gt;[[John Paul II and Maria Valtorta|John Paul II]], Various publishers, 1999, page 42.&lt;/ref&gt;: Indeed, faith in Mary proceeds from the Trinity itself and the [[Incarnation]] she realized by her consent.   <br /> <br /> Paradoxically, ''L'Osservatore Romano'' unwittingly praised the theological value of the work it disparaged. It mocks the fact that in this work &quot;there are lessons on Marian theology marked by a complete knowledge of the very latest studies by experts in the field.&quot; It probably wanted to denounce a behind-the-scenes rewriting by theologians surrounding the seer, but it is not so. Not only did Maria Valtorta write this life of Jesus herself and in one go, but she had no religious training nor documentation enabling her to be at the level &quot;of theology professors&quot;.   <br /> <br /> The endorsement brought by the dictations of Maria Valtorta to the declaration of Tre-Fontane&lt;ref&gt;The Apparitions of Tre Fontane were announced, ten years in advance, to Cardinal Pacelli, future Pius XII, by [[Luigina Sinapi and Maria Valtorta|Luigina Sinapi]], a seer who later intervened, on order from Heaven, to defend [[The Work Given to Maria Valtorta|the Work]] of [[Maria Valtorta]] before the Holy Office, which worked in the shadows Against the favorable opinion of the Pope.&lt;/ref&gt;: &quot;I am the Virgin of Revelation (of the Apocalypse)&quot; is no coincidence: the central role of the Virgin Mary in the last times is a recurring theme of the [[The Work Given to Maria Valtorta|work]] of [[Maria Valtorta]]. It runs throughout her work up to its last: [[Lessons on Saint Paul's Epistle to the Romans]]&lt;ref&gt;This theme has been developed by [[Abbé René Laurentin and Maria Valtorta|Mgr Abbé René Laurentin]] and [[François-Michel Debroise]] in ''The Virgin of the Last Times'', Salvator, 2014.&lt;/ref&gt;.<br /> <br /> === The &quot;Earthly Trinity&quot; ===<br /> In&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.maria-valtorta.org/Publication/TOME%2003/03-069.htm#CEV20709 EMV 207.9]&lt;/ref&gt;, Maria Valtorta relates an episode where Jesus makes a parallel between the heavenly Trinity and the &quot;earthly trinity,&quot; emphasizing the link between the two:<br /> <br /> &quot;Jesus speaks now: &quot;Simon, get up, come here, close to Me.&quot; [[Peter the Apostle|Peter]] goes to the left of Jesus because Mary is on his right. &quot;What are we now?&quot; asks Jesus. &quot;Us? But there is Jesus, Mary, and Simon.&quot;   &quot;That's Good, but what are we?&quot;  &quot;Three, Master.&quot;   &lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;A trinity, then. One day, in Heaven, in the Divine Trinity, a thought came: &quot;It is time for the Word to go to earth,&quot; and with a thrill of love the Word came to earth. He separated himself from the Father and from The Holy Spirit. He came to work on earth. In Heaven, the Two who remained contemplated the works of the Word, remaining more united than ever to spread Thought and Love to help the Word who worked on earth.         <br /> <br /> A day will come when an order will come from Heaven: &quot;It is time to return, for all is accomplished,&quot; and then the Word will return to Heaven, thus… (and Jesus steps back leaving Mary and Peter where they were) and from the heights of Heaven He will contemplate the works of the two remaining on earth. They, in a holy movement, will unite more than ever to melt together power and love and make of them the means to accomplish the desire of the Word: &quot;The redemption of the world through the continuous teaching of His Church.&quot; And the Father, the Son, and The Holy Spirit will make of their radiance a chain to tighten, tighten ever more the two remaining on earth: my Mother, love; you, power.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&quot;He came to work on earth.&quot; The publisher clarifies in a footnote: &quot;In order to establish a parallel between the heavenly Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) and the earthly trinity (Jesus, Mary, and Peter), the explanation must resort to attributing to God human thoughts and behaviors, establishing separations and reunions between divine Persons.    <br /> It is not a question, however, notes Maria Valtorta on a typewritten copy, of denying the [[Hypostatic Union]] (= union of two natures, divine and human) by which the Word, being truly in the flesh of the Son of God and Mary, has not ceased to be one with the Father and therefore with Love; He has not ceased to be the Holy of holies, because He was so by His divine nature and He was so in His human nature, by very perfect Grace and will.&quot;<br /> == In &quot;The Gospel as Revealed to Me&quot; ==<br /> <br /> * The Holy Trinity in Mary: Mary can be called the second-born of the Father, by the perfection she received and knew how to preserve, by her dignity as Spouse and Mother of God.&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.maria-valtorta.org/Publication/TOME%2001/01-001.htm EMV 1]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Presence of God and Angels near Jesus.&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.maria-valtorta.org/Publication/TOME%2001/01-063.htm#PresenceGodAngels EMV 37]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * The Trinity: the Word knows the Thought, and the Thought knows the Word and loves Him by communicating to Him with its treasures to make Him participate in Himself.&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.maria-valtorta.org/Publication/TOME%2003/03-020.htm#Trinit%C3%A9 EMV 160]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * [[John of Zebedee the Apostle|John]], during his spiritual retreat, has the revelation of Jesus as the second person of The Holy Trinity.&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.maria-valtorta.org/Publication/TOME%2003/03-025.htm#Trinit%C3%A9 EMV 165]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * I will send you the [[Fire]], the Force that proceeds from the fact that I am begotten by the Father and that binds the Father and the Son by an indissoluble bond, making of One, Three: the [[Knowledge, Foresight, Thought, Revelations, Exegesis|Thought]], the [[Sacrifice, Blood of Christ|Blood]], the Love.

He is Trinity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The Father is not made, nor created, nor begotten, and He cannot be or have any origin. I knew that the Son is of the Father alone by an eternal generation, that they are equal in eternity, and that He is begotten from the fecundity of the understanding of the Father, and that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son by love. In this inseparable trinity, there is nothing that can be said first nor last, greater nor lesser. The three persons are equally eternal in themselves and eternally equal; I knew that it is a unity of essence in a trinity of persons, one God in this inseparable trinity, and three persons in the unity of one substance. The persons are not confused to be one God, nor is the substance separated or divided to be in three; persons, who being distinct in the Father, in the Son, and in the Holy Spirit, are but one same divinity; the glory is equal and the majesty, power, eternity, immensity, wisdom, holiness, and all attributes are also equal. And although the persons in which these infinite perfections subsist are three, nevertheless there is only one true God, one Holy, one Just, one Mighty, one Eternal, and one Infinite. <br /> <br /> '''§ 28.''' I also discovered that this divine Trinity is understood by a simple glance, without needing a new or distinct knowledge; that the Father does as much as the Son, and the Son and the Holy Spirit as much as the Father; that they love each other reciprocally by the same immense and eternal love, that this unity understands, loves, and operates equally and indivisibly; that it is a simple, incorporeal, and indivisible nature, and a being of the true God, in whom are found to a supreme and infinite degree all perfections united and assembled. <br /> <br /> '''§ 29.''' I knew the nature of these perfections of the Most High, I discovered that He is beautiful without ugliness, great without quantity, good without quality, eternal without succession of time, strong without [[Weakness(es), powerlessness|weakness]], life without mortality, and true without [[To Lie, Lies, False Testimonies|falsehood]]; that He is present everywhere, filling it without occupying it and being in all things without extension; that there is no Contradiction in His goodness nor defect in His wisdom; that He is incomprehensible in this wisdom, terrible in His [[Advice, Opinions, Recommendations|counsels]], just in His [[To Judge, Judges, Judgment|judgments]], very secret in His thoughts, true in His words, holy in His works, and rich in His [[Rich, Riches, Treasure|treasures]]; that space does not give Him more extent, nor shortcut shrink Him; that His will is not subject to change; that there is neither past nor Future in Him; that sad things cannot afflict Him; that origin gave Him no beginning, and that time will give Him no end. O eternal immensity! How much boundless space have I discovered in you what infinity I do not recognize in Your infinite being! The sight cannot tire nor limit itself contemplating this endless object. He is an immutable being, a being above all beings, a most perfect holiness and a most infallible truth; He is the infinite, the width and the length, the height and the depth, the glory and the cause of this same glory, the tireless rest and supreme goodness. Finally, I saw all things in seeing Him, and I could not find the means to say what I saw.<br /> <br /> '''§ 30.''' I saw how the Lord was before creating anything, and I contemplated with admiration where He made His dwelling, for it is true that then there was no empyrean heaven nor other lower heavens; no sun, nor moon, nor stars, nor any element. The Creator was alone, without anything created. Everything was desert, without Angels, without men, and without animals; and by this vision I knew that it must necessarily be agreed that God was in Himself, and that He needed no creature, because He was as infinite in His attributes before creating them as after having drawn them from nothing; for He had and will have them throughout His eternity as in an independent and uncreated subject; no perfection could be lacking to His divinity, because it contains them all, and it alone is what it is, all the advantages of creatures and all that has being found in this infinite being in an inconceivable and very eminent way, as effects in their cause.  <br /> <br /> '''§ 31.''' I knew that the Most High was permanent in Himself when the three divine persons made the decree (as we conceive it) to communicate their perfections and make largesse. It should be noted, to better understand this, that God knows all things by an indivisible, very simple act, without discourse; that He does not know one thing by the knowledge of another that preceded it, as we reason and discourse, knowing them only by various acts of our understanding; because the knowledge of God penetrates them all at once, without there being in His infinite understanding any first, nor last, all gathered in this divine and uncreated science, as they are in the being of God, where they are enclosed and contained as in their first principle.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;''Marie d'Agreda, The Mystical City of God'' : Book 1, chapter 3, §§ 27 and following&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> == Notes and References ==<br /> [[Category:Themes]]<br /> [[Category:Faith and Doctrine]]<br /> [[fr:La sainte Trinité]]</div>

He who says he loves God and does not know how to follow His voice that speaks to him with love to guide him to his home, that one lies (see note [3] on the site).&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.maria-valtorta.org/Quaderni/430918.htm#DestinLumiereOuTenebre Catechesis September 18, 1943]&lt;/ref&gt; <br /> *'''Catechesis November 3, 1943''': &quot;Obedience has more value than the word, even if this word is written under my [[Visions and Dictations of Maria Valtorta|dictation]].

It is appropriate to say: 'Let her act, for you always have the [[Poor, Poverty|poor]], but me, you do not always have.' The poor to whom to give the word you always have.

Founded in 1985 and based in [[Wikipedia:Isola del Liri|Isola del Liri]], in [[Wikipedia:Italy|Italy]], it is the historic and official publisher of her entire work&lt;ref name=&quot;quisommesnous&quot;&gt;https://www.centroeditorialevaltortiano.com/fr/qui-sommes-nous/&lt;/ref&gt;.<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> <br /> The [[Valtortian Editorial Center]] was created in 1985 at the initiative of [[Emilio Pisani]], son of Michele Pisani, the first publisher of Maria Valtorta's works after the Second World War. The foundation of the CEV continues the editorial work undertaken since the 1950s to ensure stable and structured dissemination of Valtortian writings&lt;ref name=&quot;quisommesnous&quot; /&gt;.<br /> <br /> The legal structure of the organization has evolved over time: initially formed as a general partnership (snc), it later became a limited liability company (srl). The CEV statutes from the outset provided for the possibility of promoting the creation of bodies intended to preserve and enhance the intellectual and material heritage of Maria Valtorta, a vision that was realized through the later creation of the [[Maria Valtorta Heritage Foundation]]&lt;ref&gt;https://mariavaltorta.com/fr/la-fondation/histoire-de-la-fondation/&lt;/ref&gt;.<br /> <br /> ==Mission and Objectives==<br /> <br /> According to its founding documents, the Mission of the [[Valtortian Editorial Center]] is structured around several main axes:<br /> <br /> * to deepen and disseminate knowledge about the person, writings, and thought of Maria Valtorta;<br /> * to conduct historical and documentary research concerning her life and work;<br /> * to gather testimonies, archives, and objects related to the author;<br /> * to protect her name and memory in cultural and publishing fields;<br /> * to print, publish, and distribute her works in Italian and other languages;<br /> * to promote religious and biblical education in the spirit of Catholic tradition.<br /> <br /> ==Publishing Activities==<br /> <br /> The primary activity of the [[Valtortian Editorial Center]] is to edit and distribute the [[The Work Given to Maria Valtorta|complete writings of Maria Valtorta]]. Its catalogue notably includes:<br /> <br /> * the major work titled ''[[The Gospel as Revealed to Me]]'', published in several volumes;<br /> * the ''Quaderni'' (Notebooks) gathering the author's original manuscripts;<br /> * collections of letters, autobiographical writings, and spiritual texts;<br /> * studies, commentaries, and complementary works intended to accompany the reading of her works.<br /> <br /> In addition to paper editions, the CEV also offers digital versions (ebooks) and audiobooks, available through its official online bookstore&lt;ref name=&quot;siteofficiel&quot;&gt;https://www.centroeditorialevaltortiano.com/&lt;/ref&gt;.<br /> <br /> ==Copyright Status==<br /> <br /> The [[Valtortian Editorial Center]] acts as the publisher and distributor of Maria Valtorta's works. However, the author's copyright and intellectual property no longer directly belong to the CEV. These have been transferred to the [[Maria Valtorta Heritage Foundation]], which today holds legal ownership and institutional guardianship&lt;ref&gt;https://mariavaltorta.com/fr/la-fondation/les-statuts-de-la-fondation-heritiere/&lt;/ref&gt;.<br /> <br /> In this context, the CEV serves as the reference publisher and editorial partner of the Foundation.

Emmanuel https://valtortaen.mywikis.eu/w139/index.php?title=The_Presumed_Private_Revelation_of_Maria_Valtorta&diff=17038 2026-04-28T11:37:25Z

<p>Emmanuel: Text replacement - &quot;The Gospel as It Was Revealed to Me&quot; to &quot;The Gospel as Revealed to Me&quot;</p> <hr /> <div>In 2008, concluding the synod on the ''Word of God in the Life and Mission of the Church''&lt;ref&gt;Vatican, October 5 to 26, 2008.&lt;/ref&gt;, the bishops summarized [[Private Revelations and the Church|private revelations]] in a simple phrase buried in a resolution entirely devoted to sects&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/synod/documents/rc_synod_doc_20081025_elenco-prop-finali_it.html#La_Bibbia__e_il_fenomeno_delle_sette ''Final list of propositions'']: Proposition 47: The Bible and the phenomenon of sects].&lt;/ref&gt;. They proposed &quot;to help the faithful to properly distinguish the Word of God from private revelations.&quot; This negative phrasing, which does not say what private revelations are, was given a positive spin by [[Benedict XVI and Maria Valtorta|Benedict XVI]] in his post-synodal exhortation ''[https://www.vatican.va/content/benedict-xvi/en/apost_exhortations/documents/hf_ben-xvi_exh_20100930_verbum-domini.html#THE_GOD_WHO_SPEAKS Verbum Domini]'' of September 30, 2010. He goes beyond the terse formula used by the bishops to specify what they are. Indeed, it is in this second approach that true discernment lies, and this is precisely what the pope does in the second part of §14 of his exhortation:<br /> <br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;The criterion for establishing the truth of a private revelation is '''its orientation towards Christ himself'''. When it leads us away from Him, then it certainly does not come from the Holy Spirit, who leads us to the Gospel and not away from it. Private revelation is a help to faith, and it proves credible precisely '''because it refers to the one public revelation.'''&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> He cites the terms of his [https://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/congregations/cfaith/documents/rc_con_cfaith_doc_20000626_message-fatima_en.html theological commentary] (end of document) published ten years earlier. This thought is therefore a constant. Establishing the '''truth''', as a private revelation, of the work of Maria Valtorta is thus to evaluate:<br /> <br /> * whether it is oriented towards Christ or turns away from Him,<br /> * whether it leads to the Gospel or diverts from it,<br /> * whether it refers to the one Public Revelation or purports to free itself from it.<br /> <br /> == Seven characteristics to judge its authenticity. ==<br /> <br /> [[Benedict XVI and Maria Valtorta|Benedict XVI]], in his post-synodal exhortation, recalls the affirmation of the Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation [https://www.vatican.va/archive/hist_councils/ii_vatican_council/documents/vat-ii_const_19651118_dei-verbum_en.html#2. ''Dei Verbum § 2''] by [[Paul VI and Maria Valtorta|Paul VI]] (November 18, 1965): Jesus Christ is &quot;the mediator and fullness of all Revelation&quot;. The author of the Brief Warning extracts from the same document a quotation that he opposes to the writings of Maria Valtorta:<br /> <br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;Thus God, who spoke long ago, ceases not to converse with the Bride of his Beloved Son, and the Holy Spirit, through whom the living voice of the Gospel resounds in the Church and, through the Church, in the world, leads the faithful into the whole truth and causes the word of Christ to dwell in them richly ([https://www.vatican.va/archive/hist_councils/ii_vatican_council/documents/vat-ii_const_19651118_dei-verbum_en.html#8. Ibid, § 8]).&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> This dogmatic constitution could not have been better chosen for the discernment of Maria Valtorta's readership as it demonstrates, several years before these texts, their extreme pertinence.<br /> <br /> === 1 - Degree of conformity to the canonical Gospel. ===<br /> <br /> The work of Maria Valtorta covers the entirety of the 373 narrative units (pericopes&lt;ref name=&quot;:1&quot;&gt;A pericope designates an excerpt that forms a literary unit or a coherent thought. Out of 373 pericopes, 111 are unique to a single Gospel, the remaining 262 are common to either three or two evangelists (sometimes four, notably for the Passion). The two infancy Gospels (Matthew 1–2 and Luke 1–2) share not a single episode.&lt;/ref&gt;) of the canonical Gospel, ''without'' omission, ''without'' incoherence, ''without'' contradiction, since Jesus had only one life on Earth and not four as there are evangelists. The work of Maria Valtorta thus adopts a fidelity to the eternal Gospel that is not found in any of the popular lives of Jesus, which rely almost exclusively on a few selected verses, whereas Maria Valtorta's work covers 98.5% of the 3,781 Gospel verses&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot;&gt;Maria Valtorta does not produce a scholastic copy where each Gospel verse would be reproduced in her work. Sometimes she simply refers to its reading, as she does, for example, for Jesus's priestly prayer during the Last Supper ([https://www.maria-valtorta.org/Publication/TOME%2009/09-019-2.htm#CEV60037 EMV 600.37]). Its 26 verses are reported in [https://bible.usccb.org/bible/john/17 John 17]. This passage is counted in the 98.5% citations. Conversely, some verses are omitted such as those of Jesus’s genealogy in [https://bible.usccb.org/bible/matthew/1 Matthew 1:1-17] and [https://bible.usccb.org/bible/luke/3 Luke 3:23-38]. Only Joseph's grandparents are mentioned by characters, according to Matthew, matching daily life situations. These omissions are counted in the missing verses.&lt;/ref&gt;. Thus, there is no room in this narrative for imagination or supposition of another gospel.<br /> <br /> More than modern essays on the life of Jesus which cut references to the Bible, Maria Valtorta’s work refers to it, in accordance with the teaching of the Magisterium recalled by Pius XII in his encyclical Divino Afflante Spiritu (1943)&lt;ref&gt;Pius XII, ''[https://www.vatican.va/content/pius-xii/en/encyclicals/documents/hf_p-xii_enc_30091943_divino-afflante-spiritu.html Divino Afflante Spiritu]'' On Biblical studies, September 30, 1943, §§ 2 and 3.<br /> <br /> § 2: &quot;The Holy Council of Trent, in a solemn decree, already declared concerning the Bible that one must recognize &quot;the entire books as sacred and canonical, with all their parts, as they are usually read in the Catholic Church and as they are contained in the ancient edition of the Latin Vulgate&quot; (''Sessio'' IV decree I; Ench. Bibl. n. 45).<br /> <br /> § 3: &quot;The Church holds the Holy Books to be sacred and canonical not because, being solely of human industry, they were subsequently approved by her authority, nor solely because they contain truth without error, but because, written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, they have God as their author and have been handed down as such to the Church&quot; (''Sessio'' III cap. II, Ench. Bibl. n. 62).&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> === 2 – Degree of biblical apprehension. ===<br /> <br /> Moreover, the work includes implicit or explicit reference to 1,166 chapters of the Bible out of the 1,334 that compose it&lt;ref&gt;Edmea Dusio, ''Biblical index of the work &quot;The Poem of the Man-God&quot;'', Pisani ed., 1970, quoted by G.M. Roschini, ''The Virgin Mary in the work of Maria Valtorta'', p. 31. THE BIBLE has 1,334 chapters in the version used by Catholics and Orthodox, and slightly fewer in Protestant or Anglican tradition. The New Testament alone comprises 260 chapters in any case.&lt;/ref&gt;, i.e. 87% of the whole. This covers all its 73 books and all 150 Psalms.<br /> <br /> While the canonical Gospel quotes 113 verses from the Old Testament (Bible before Jesus), David Amos, a reader, listed in Maria Valtorta’s work 3,133 appropriate verses from the Septuagint (Greek translation of the Torah used at Jesus’s time), sweeping almost all its 46 books.<br /> <br /> Therefore, Maria Valtorta’s work accomplishes structurally and centrally this &quot;typological reading&lt;ref&gt;Typological reading characterizes the Christian approach to the Bible. It consists of seeing in the Old Testament (Bible before Jesus) the announcement of the New Testament (Bible with Jesus). There is no separate history. This is why Christians are sometimes called Judeo-Christians. Jesus, in the Gospel, refers to the Old Law which he came to fulfill and not to change. In the Work of Maria Valtorta, many episodes show how Jesus announces his Gospel based on the texts of the Old Testament known perfectly by Judeans and Galileans as part of teaching. This 'typological' approach is an omnipresent feature of Maria Valtorta’s narratives.&lt;/ref&gt;&quot; which alone preserves &quot;the unity of the Divine Plan&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/__P4I.HTM Catechism of the Catholic Church §§128-129]: &quot;The Church […] has enlightened the unity of the divine plan in the two Testaments thanks to typology. This discerns in God’s works in the Old Covenant prefigurations of what God accomplished in the fullness of time in the person of his incarnate Son&quot;.&lt;/ref&gt;&quot; and which is illuminated from the Gospel. This largely explains the strong attachment of readers to this work which leads them so vividly and extensively to the Holy Scripture&lt;ref&gt;CCC §131 | Dei Verbum 22.&lt;/ref&gt;, in which they find &quot;the strength of their faith, the nourishment of their soul, the pure and permanent source of their spiritual life&quot;&lt;ref&gt;Ibid. | Dei Verbum 21&lt;/ref&gt;.<br /> <br /> === 3 - Faithfulness of the work to the Church’s traditional teaching. ===<br /> <br /> Furthermore, as Jesus explicitly indicates in Maria Valtorta&lt;ref&gt;&quot;The deepest reason for the gift of this work is that in these times when modernism, condemned by my Holy Vicar Pius X, corrupts itself to give birth to ever more harmful Doctrines, the holy Church, represented by my Vicar, may have additional means to combat those who deny: the supernatural character of dogmas; the divinity of Christ; the Truth of Christ, God and Man, real and perfect as it was handed down to us both by faith and by history (Gospel, Acts of the Apostles, Apostolic Letters, Tradition); the Doctrine of Paul and John and the councils of Nicaea, Ephesus and Chalcedon, as my true Doctrine verbally taught by Me; my limitless science because divine and perfect; the divine origin of the dogmas, the Sacraments of the One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic Church; the universality and continuity, until the end of time, of the Gospel given by Me and for all men; the perfect nature, from the beginning, of my Doctrine which has not formed as it is through successive transformations, but is as it was given: Doctrine of Christ, of the time of Grace, the Kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of God in you, divine, perfect, immutable, Good News for all who Thirst for God.&quot; (EMV 562).&lt;/ref&gt;, the Church has truly been willed, from the beginning, such as it is in its structure, Doctrine, foundations and Sacraments, contrary to a destructive contemporary school that sees all this as a progressive human construction. Analogously, Creation was made by God in its fullness&lt;ref&gt;&quot;Nothing is lost, nothing is created, everything is transformed,&quot; says a maxim attributed to Antoine Lavoisier.&lt;/ref&gt; and entrusted to men for management so that they inhabit and make it fruitful, likewise the Church.<br /> <br /> Thus, the reader of Maria Valtorta is guided towards a perception of the fullness of Revelation and understanding of its concretization: the Church.<br /> <br /> In this case, how to suspect the work of wanting &quot;to complete&quot; the Public Revelation since it only explains what exists, and how to suspect it of announcing a &quot;new&quot; revelation since it rests only on its foundation?<br /> <br /> === 4 - Proven faithfulness of the author to the Church. ===<br /> <br /> As Cardinal Lercaro said regarding [[Padre Pio and Maria Valtorta|Padre Pio]], Maria Valtorta suffered like him ''for'' the Church, but also ''by'' the Church&lt;ref&gt;Cardinal Giacomo Lercaro (1891-1976): &quot;What afflicted him most deeply, to the point of making him agonize like the Savior in the Garden of Olives, was not so much that he suffered for the Church […] but that he suffered by the Church […] He felt the bitterness of arbitrary procedures, very harsh, insulting, wicked measures, without reacting, without complaining...&quot; Commemoration of Padre Pio of Pietrelcina, Cathedral of Bologna, December 8, 1968, quoted by Luigi Peroni, ''Padre Pio, the St. Francis of the 20th century'', St. Augustine Ed., 1999, pp. 175/176.&lt;/ref&gt;. These sufferings were caused as much by the overzealous humanity of the Servites in charge of promoting the work, as by that of some members of the Holy Office averse to it. Both were disobedience: the former to Jesus’s instructions, the latter to the Supreme Pontiff’s opinion. One must know the sum of efforts and trials that Maria Valtorta needed—including the Invisible Stigmata—to be the &quot;instrument&quot; willed by God, to share the extreme pain that was hers facing these attitudes. Bedridden and orphaned, she came to offer the only thing she still had: her spirit.<br /> <br /> The letter she wrote to [[Mgr Alfonso Carinci and Maria Valtorta|Mgr Carinci]], a close associate of [[Pius XII and Maria Valtorta|Pius XII]] who was her supporter, illustrates well the dismay that, yesterday as today, overwhelms the faithful facing certain backroom maneuvers:<br /> <br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;I was taught that the pope is infallible in judging faith and morals, that he is the supreme head of the Church and the common father of all Catholics. I was taught that the most excellent bishops receive the fullness of the priesthood, and thus the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit, and so their judgment is illuminated by God. This is what my Religion teachers taught me with catechism, and it is what I have always believed and still believe.<br /> Then the Divine Master taught me that the Holy Spirit cannot give contradictory inspirations about a single thing, being the unique inspiring Spirit. […] And further, He taught me that this is why, constituting His Church, He took Peter and made him head and wished for him to perpetuate until the end of the ages so that the word of the head, in case of dispute, would be pronounced to end all disputes. Finally, He told me, and repeats incessantly, that he to whom the election after Peter made another Christ can only recognize the Christ who speaks in the doctrinal pages of the work […] Now, here is what is happening is in open opposition to all this, and it is as if the whole world, the world of my absolute faith in the Church's teachings, were collapsing and it creates a painful stupor in my soul which remains shaken&lt;ref&gt;Letters to Mons. Carinci {Italian}, January 9, 1949. Being translated into French.&lt;/ref&gt;&quot;.&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> This letter was read to [[Pius XII and Maria Valtorta|Pius XII]] who emphasized the rectitude of the author’s soul.<br /> <br /> === 5 – An inspired work to better understand. ===<br /> <br /> Forty-five years before the Catechism of the Catholic Church, Jesus specifies what the gift of the work is relative to the canonical Gospel:<br /> <br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;The book delivered to men through [Maria Valtorta] is not a canonical book. Nevertheless, it is an inspired book that I grant you to '''help you understand''' certain passages of the canonical books, and particularly what my time as Teacher was, finally so that you may know me, who am the Word, through my words&lt;ref&gt;Dictation of January 28, 1947, extracted from the &quot;Notebooks from 1945 to 1950&quot;, p. 317&lt;/ref&gt;.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> Here we find the definition of CCC § 67:<br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;[The role of private revelations] is not to &quot;improve&quot; or &quot;complete&quot; the definitive Revelation of Christ, but to help '''live it more fully''' at a certain moment in history.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> And the article adds:<br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;Guided by the Magisterium of the Church, the sensus fidelium '''knows how to discern''' and preach what in these revelations constitutes an authentic call of Christ (or of his saints) to the Church.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== The synergy of parallel reading. ====<br /> <br /> Legitimately, the author of the ''Brief Warning'' feared that readers of Maria Valtorta might get lost in an individual search for meaning, like a reprise of the ancient prohibition that placed the Bible itself on the Index: the faithful were not to possess one and the Old Testament was largely absent from the Liturgy. But, as this article indicates, readers of Maria Valtorta are &quot;guided&quot; by ten authoritative theologians (including three popes), by 12 saints or founders of Church movements, by the Gospel which they (re)discover almost fully, by the reference to 87% of the Bible, by constant reference to the Catechism which summarizes everything, by exegetical, historical or scientific tradition, to name a few… and by their spiritual director when they have one. Thus, Maria Valtorta’s readers have more than guides; they walk, in this pilgrimage through time following Jesus, between sure rails.<br /> <br /> ==== The unpublished facts are an enrichment. ====<br /> <br /> Certainly, Maria Valtorta’s work includes facts not mentioned in the Gospel ([https://bible.usccb.org/bible/john/20 John 20:30] | [https://bible.usccb.org/bible/john/21 John 21:25]), but they are all coherent. These additional words, these complementary facts, are not unique to Maria Valtorta but to Tradition which reports agrapha (words of Jesus not mentioned in the four Gospels) or established facts:<br /> <br /> * The veil of Veronica, honored at the 6th station of the Way of the Cross, is not mentioned in the Gospel.<br /> * Dismas the Good Thief is celebrated on March 25, but he is anonymous in the Gospel.<br /> * St. Anne and St. Joachim are ignored in the infancy Gospels, but the Church honors them, etc.<br /> Among the 736 characters described in Maria Valtorta’s work, 250 are confirmed by historical and Talmudic sources. Not to mention the 20,000 remarkable points identified to date (2024) across all scientific disciplines.<br /> <br /> Maria Valtorta wrote much, it is true, but this is the lot of many mystical writings: St. Veronica Giuliani (1660-1727) wrote 22,000 manuscript pages constituting Il Tesoro Nascosto (The Hidden Treasure); the Blessed Concepción Cabrera de Armida (1862-1937) wrote 65,000 pages comprising 66 volumes.<br /> <br /> === 6 – A work that cannot be explained merely humanly. ===<br /> <br /> No best-selling book on Jesus has such reliability and breadth in its foundations. It is impossible to rewrite the Gospel in its coherence, since the Bible is the very Word of God. Whoever attempts it would quickly stumble on their own contradictions. Jesus says so and the work proves it: it supports and explicates the Tradition which transmitted to us the eternal Gospel; it does not alter it, atrophy it, or transform it&lt;ref&gt;This is the case with verses deleted in the 1979 Nova Vulgata (official reference of the Catholic Church) and with the disappearance of the phrase &quot;Second-First Sabbath&quot; from [https://bible.usccb.org/bible/luke/6 Luke 6:1]. Maria Valtorta’s visions allow one to understand why she does not explain it herself. Indeed, Jesus at the time did not have to explain what everyone knew.&lt;/ref&gt;.<br /> <br /> Can we find another work written by a single person that so closely overlaps the Holy Scriptures and was recorded in such a short time: three years and three months, i.e., the duration of Jesus’s public life?<br /> <br /> Moreover, Maria Valtorta’s work places the events reported by the four canonical Gospels in a perfectly chronological and coherent sequence. This is an unprecedented achievement since, for nearly two millennia, no one had managed to place the 373 episodes (pericopes) of the four canonical Gospels on an ordered and precise chronological timeline of Jesus’s life, corroborated by historical sources and Scriptural indications.<br /> <br /> ''The Gospel as Revealed to Me'' relates all episodes of the four Gospels, but without commentary. They are presented only in the concrete purity of what is seen and heard as at the time. There are no ancillary historical or theological explanations, except for Jesus’s scattered catecheses, which He gives with authority without reference to a human author.<br /> <br /> === 7 – A fundamentally evangelizing work. ===<br /> <br /> The work therefore does not belong to human works on the life of Jesus, but to &quot;revealed lives&quot; as known in Church history, notably with the Mystical City of [[Marie d'Agréda and Maria Valtorta|Mary of Agreda]] (1602-1665) and the Visions of [[Anne-Catherine Emmerich and Maria Valtorta|Anne Catherine Emmerich]] (1774-1824), both having, to varying degrees, received visions of Christ's life and Heaven’s comments.<br /> <br /> One might fear that such closeness to the canonical texts, combined with new visions or revelations, might lead readers to abandon the canonical Gospel for Maria Valtorta’s work, confusing source and channels. But the two are linked and cooperate to quench the thirst of seekers.<br /> <br /> The author of the ''Brief Warning'' misunderstood why Valtorta sites published parallels between the Gospel of the day, as offered by the Church, and the corresponding text of Maria Valtorta. It is because one guides the reading of the other, which in turn distinctly illuminates it on many points that puzzle many exegetes. There is no opposition, no incoherence: there is an ordering, but a single origin. The reader experiences that it is not one or the other, but both.<br /> <br /> As detailed above, those who delve into the 651 chapters of the work come out with 98.5% of the canonical Gospel illuminated by 87% of the Bible. Heaven neither contradicts itself nor regulates itself: it preaches in praise and thanksgiving.<br /> <br /> === In summary. ===<br /> <br /> Seven characteristics establish the truthfulness of the work: <br /> # It almost entirely overlaps the canonical Gospel (98.5%), <br /> # It integrates astonishing biblical coherence (87%), <br /> # It promotes fidelity to the Church’s traditional teaching, <br /> # Its author demonstrated faithfulness to the Church in trials, <br /> # The unpublished developments of the work do not distort the Gospel,<br /> # The work cannot be attributed solely to a human origin,<br /> # It manifestly contributes to evangelization.<br /> <br /> == Degree of recognition: wait and see. ==<br /> <br /> We have a natural tendency to believe that our own conviction is Church judgment since we seek, and find, here and there opinions that align with us: &quot;Maria Valtorta’s Work is recognized, proof...&quot;, &quot;No, it is condemned, proof...&quot;<br /> <br /> This forgets that between cautious approval and a relatively rare condemnation, there is monitoring. This is by far the most widespread situation. To understand it, one must also return to the Magisterium texts.<br /> <br /> In November 1974, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (heir of the Holy Office) had to reflect on the growing flow of &quot;problems relating to alleged Apparitions and associated revelations&quot;. Unable to keep up with the pace of these manifestations, it decided to proceed more pragmatically by publishing a vade-mecum with a general position of principle as follows:<br /> <br /> # Today more than ever, news of these Apparitions spreads rapidly among the faithful through the media (mass media). Furthermore, the ease of travel favors the frequency of Pilgrimages. Also, the ecclesiastical Authority must pronounce quickly in this matter.<br /> # On the other hand, contemporary mentality, as well as the requirements of science and critical investigation, makes it more difficult, if not impossible, to reach judgments as quickly as in past investigations (&quot;constat de supernaturalitate&quot;, &quot;non constat de supernaturalitate&quot;). It is therefore more delicate for the Ordinary (= local bishop) to authorize or prohibit public worship or other forms of devotion by the faithful.<br /> <br /> For these reasons, ''so that the devotion aroused in the faithful by such facts may manifest itself in full communion with the Church and bear Fruits that allow the Church to later discern the true nature of the facts,'' the Fathers considered that the following practice should be promoted in this matter.<br /> <br /> To achieve greater certainty about an alleged apparition or revelation, it will be for the ecclesiastical authority to:<br /> <br /> # first judge the fact according to positive and negative criteria (set out later in the text);<br /> # then, if this examination leads to a favorable conclusion, permit certain public manifestations of worship or devotion, while observing them with the greatest prudence (equivalent to the formula: &quot;pro nunc nihil obstare&quot; (&quot;for now nothing stands in the way&quot;));<br /> # finally, in the light of time and experience (especially the abundance of spiritual fruits produced by the new devotion), make, if appropriate, a judgment on the authenticity and supernatural character.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/congregations/cfaith/documents/rc_con_cfaith_doc_19780225_norme-apparizioni_en.html ''Procedural norms for the discernment of alleged apparitions and revelations – Origin and character of these norms''].&lt;/ref&gt; <br /> <br /> However, in the new &quot;Procedural Norms for the Discernment of Presumed Supernatural Phenomena&quot;, the judgment on authenticity and supernatural character has been limited to be reserved only to the pope’s initiative.&lt;ref&gt;New &quot;[https://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/congregations/cfaith/documents/rc_ddf_doc_20240517_norms-supernatural-phenomena_en.html ''Procedural norms for the discernment of presumed supernatural phenomena'']&quot; of May 17, 2024. It cancels and replaces the previous norms. See articles no. 11 and no. 23 which generally restrict the right to decide on divine origin to the pope’s dicastery.&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> If Maria Valtorta’s work received a favorable reception from [[Pius XII and Maria Valtorta|Pius XII]] and his entourage, it also underwent a barrage of opposition leading to its being placed on the Index of Forbidden Books shortly after the death of the Sovereign Pontiff. These two currents, quite usual with private revelations, led to monitoring: neither opposing nor supporting actions have yet come to a conclusion.<br /> <br /> No one knows God’s plan for the work of Maria Valtorta. Only &quot;the light of time and experience&quot; will reveal it according to the above text and the prophecy of Gamaliel, cited in the epigraph ([https://bible.usccb.org/bible/acts/5 Acts 5:38-39]). If some restrict themselves to &quot;recognized&quot; private revelations, they must not forget this evident truth: before being recognized, they were not. However, from the start, they were authentic. Recognition only made them manifest, which is why the Church, in Scripture’s continuation, observes spiritual fruits. How can one gather them if they are not cultivated and are neglected?<br /> <br /> Maria Valtorta’s visions address our time and have universal scope. Until when will they serve God’s plan? On whom, on what and how? Only God knows, and Maria Valtorta who now rests in His embrace.<br /> <br /> Besides the intimate conviction of its readers, we only have the prophecy received by Don Ottavio Michelini (1906-1979):<br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;This work [of Maria Valtorta], a source of serious and solid culture, is destined to great success in the renewed Church.&lt;ref&gt;Don Michelini, ''Confidences of Jesus to His Priests and Faithful'', Parvis ed., p. 285.&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> == Oppositions… including seven false ideas. ==<br /> <br /> The oppositions encountered by the main work of Maria Valtorta, [[The Gospel as Revealed to Me]], are a blessing. Indeed, these oppositions, whether on theological grounds or material data, have always provoked debate (sometimes very lively) leading to deeper exploration of the points raised, thus revealing the nuggets contained in this inspired work.<br /> <br /> It must be said that often these oppositions are guided by condescension toward &quot;this literature&quot; and its credulous public in need of marvels. Forgive us for recalling here that condescension is the socially polished form of contempt, before which it is difficult to remain impassive.<br /> <br /> Censorship was an important component of Church structures. But condemnation (which was not in Jesus's primary intentions&lt;ref&gt;See, for example: John 3:17 | John 12:47.&lt;/ref&gt;) sometimes gives the doubly illusory feeling of being the very power of God and being so because of one’s own perfection. For this reason, the Church, in reforming the Holy Office, subject to scandalous methods&lt;ref&gt;On November 8, 1963, Cardinal Josef Frings, Archbishop of Cologne (whose theologian was Father Josef Ratzinger) declared in a conciliar assembly, under a thunder of applause: &quot;The procedure of the Holy Office no longer corresponds to our time. It is an object of scandal for many.&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;, replaced censors with pastors:<br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;But because perfect love casts out fear (1 John 4:18), the protection of the faith will be better assured by an office charged with promoting doctrine, which will give new strength to the heralds of the Gospel, while correcting errors and gently bringing back to the right path those who have strayed. Furthermore, the progress of human culture, whose importance for Religion must not be neglected, wants the faithful to follow more fully and lovingly the directives of the Church if they clearly see the reason for the definitions and laws, at least as far as possible in matters of faith and morals&quot;&lt;ref&gt;Paul VI, motu proprio [https://www.vatican.va/content/paul-vi/en/motu_proprio/documents/hf_p-vi_motu-proprio_19651207_integrae-servandae.html ''Integrae Servandae''], December 7, 1965.&lt;/ref&gt;.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> [[John Paul II and Maria Valtorta|John Paul II]], promulgating the Catechism of the Catholic Church, which contains &quot;an exposition of the Church’s faith and Catholic Doctrine, attested or enlightened by Holy Scripture, apostolic Tradition, and ecclesiastical Magisterium&quot;, specified its orientation:<br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;Pope John XXIII had assigned the principal task of better guarding and explaining the precious deposit of Christian Doctrine, in order to make it more accessible to the faithful of Christ and all men of good will. For this, the Council was not to first condemn the errors of the time but rather to calmly show the strength and beauty of the Doctrine of faith.&lt;ref&gt;John Paul II, Apostolic Constitution [https://www.vatican.va/content/john-paul-ii/en/apost_constitutions/documents/hf_jp-ii_apc_19921011_fidei-depositum.html ''Fidei Depositum''], October 11, 1992.&lt;/ref&gt;.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> With this dual perspective, we can recall the following facts, also developed elsewhere on this site:<br /> <br /> 1. The placing on the Index of forbidden books is the only condemnation affecting Maria Valtorta’s work. The only one appearing in the [https://www.vatican.va/archive/aas/index_en.htm Acts of the Holy See (AAS)]. It was abolished in law and consequence six years later.<br /> <br /> 2. The &quot;moral value&quot; that this condemnation retains is a warning to each Conscience, the sole judge, without imposing its choice on others.<br /> <br /> 3. The official reason for the condemnation was a disobedience&lt;ref&gt;Maria Valtorta’s work was censored under article 1385, paragraph 1, § 2 of the 1917 Code of Canon Law, in force at the time of Maria Valtorta. It stipulated that no book touching on a religious subject could be published without imprimatur.&lt;/ref&gt; to an obligation of imprimatur now abolished as well for this type of work (1975)&lt;ref&gt;On March 19, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith published new regulation [http://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/congregations/cfaith/documents/rc_con_cfaith_doc_19750319_ecclesiae-pastorum_en.html ''on the vigilance of pastors of the Church regarding books''].&lt;/ref&gt;.<br /> <br /> 4. The ''Osservatore Romano'' article commenting on it is an authoritative opinion that finds no formal fault with faith or morals and cites none of the historical errors it mentions.<br /> <br /> 5. The 1985 letter from Cardinal Ratzinger, as Prefect of the congregation, gives a very clear authoritative opinion but not a prohibition. The cardinal later (1990s) read Maria Valtorta’s work himself and, finding nothing to object to, authorized its distribution, which was judged a &quot;good book.&quot;<br /> <br /> 6. The Italian bishops’ conference letter (1992), which grants conditional imprimatur, reiterates the Catholic Church’s position on private revelations: they are not to be believed as Catholic Faith, but as prudent human faith&lt;ref&gt;Already cited: Cf. the theological commentary of Cardinal J. Ratzinger (Benedict XVI) citing Cardinal Lambertini’s codification (Benedict XIV).&lt;/ref&gt;. It is advice to the reader, not a judgment on the work.<br /> <br /> 7. Finally, let us recall the contradictions of the opponents who, like the prophet Balaam charged with cursing Israel’s tents, could only bless them ([https://bible.usccb.org/bible/numbers/23 Numbers 23:11]). These unwittingly praised the qualities of the Work.<br /> <br /> * The censors of the Holy Office placed it on the Index for a (supposed) lack of imprimatur, but reading the ''Osservatore Romano'' article commenting it, it was an all-out fire aimed to reduce it to ashes. However, they could only mention three times the exceptional theological value of this work: Jesus there makes &quot;theological expositions in terms a professor today would use&quot;; the Virgin Mary gives lessons &quot;of a Marian theology updated according to the most recent studies of current specialists&quot;; and Maria Valtorta’s work contains a &quot;great display of theological knowledge.&quot; How, then, to attempt to show that a work worthy of all the pontifical universities of theology in Rome could be harmful enough to warrant prohibition?<br /> <br /> * More recently, a young French theologian also attempted to strike the final blow with a 50-page documented critical study. But in the conclusion of his introduction, he notes in the same paragraph this surprising double contradiction: &quot;many testify to having found faith through reading Valtorta […] It is thus against the nature of faith to refer to sources that have nothing divine.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;Don Guillaume Chevallier, [https://www.communautesaintmartin.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/DGC-Charitas-14-Linspiration-chez-Maria-Valtorta.pdf ''Inspiration in Maria Valtorta''], Charitas no. 14, p. 94, March 2021.&lt;/ref&gt; If reading Maria Valtorta brings many to faith, why destroy it? And if it gives faith to so many, why would it be a source with &quot;nothing divine&quot;?<br /> <br /> High theological quality, ... many returns to faith, ... these are confirmed by theologians and saints.<br /> <br /> == For: the endorsement of authoritative theologians. ==<br /> <br /> The conformity of Maria Valtorta’s work to Public Revelation was the first thing to be verified. Authoritative theologians studied it in part or whole. In any case, enough to give a public opinion engaging them.<br /> <br /> They also evaluated the coherence of unpublished facts with the canonical Gospel, as well as original opinions expressed. Indeed, one function of private revelations is to highlight particular points of Revelation&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.vatican.va/content/benedict-xvi/en/apost_exhortations/documents/hf_ben-xvi_exh_20100930_verbum-domini.html#THE_GOD_WHO_SPEAKS ''Verbum Domini § 14'']: &quot;A private revelation can introduce new expressions, bring forth new forms of piety or deepen old ones. It can have a certain prophetic character.&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;: Maria Valtorta’s is no exception.<br /> <br /> It is notable, for some, the difficulty in entering into the many descriptions that characterize Maria Valtorta’s work. This disorienting aspect is precisely what strikes her readers by the ability of these descriptions to make the evangelical narratives so vivid and current.<br /> <br /> Authoritative theologians also assessed the interest of the work for evangelization and therefore its effectiveness in announcing the Good News by the spiritual fruits engendered. On this point, they were joined by several bishops worldwide.<br /> <br /> 1. '''[[Pius XII and Maria Valtorta|Pius XII]]'''. Exceptionally for such a subject, he granted an audience&lt;ref&gt;February 26, 1948. Present were Fathers Berti and Migliorini and [[Father Andrea Cecchin and Maria Valtorta|Cecchin]], their superior.&lt;/ref&gt; to the three promoters of Maria Valtorta’s work, at the end of which he asked for its publication &quot;as is,&quot; leaving the reader free to attribute its origin. His words, noted on leaving the audience, have been made public three times by [[Father Corrado Berti and Maria Valtorta|Fr. Berti]]&lt;ref&gt;1970: Rome conference; 1978: affidavit; 1980: Dominican review ''Vita cristiana'' (Rivista di ascetica e mistica).&lt;/ref&gt;, without denial or correction. The Sovereign Pontiff had himself read the work in typescript form. This favorable opinion on its publication has been attested by several consistent testimonies&lt;ref&gt;The three eyewitnesses – Mgr Carinci, a close associate of Pius XII who corresponded with Maria Valtorta – Luigina Sinapi, familiar with Pius XII who met the Holy Office at Jesus’s request – several prelates worldwide who consider it acquired.&lt;/ref&gt;.<br /> <br /> Already as Cardinal Eugenio Pacelli, Pius XII had shown bold judgment in this field:<br /> <br /> * On March 25, 1930, he wrote, in the name of Pius XI, a letter supporting Father Marie-Joseph Lagrange, Dominican founder of the Biblical school of Jerusalem, for his book The Gospel of Jesus Christ, though condemned in its method by Benedict XV&lt;ref&gt;Benedict XV, encyclical [https://laportelatine.org/formation/magistere/encyclique-spiritus-paraclitus-15-centenaire-mort-st-jerome-1920 ''Spiritus Paraclitus''] on the 15th centenary of the death of St Jerome, September 15, 1920. His method (exposed notably in The ''Historical Method'' (1903)) became official Church teaching notably in Pope Pius XII’s encyclical [https://www.vatican.va/content/pius-xii/en/encyclicals/documents/hf_p-xii_enc_30091943_divino-afflante-spiritu.html ''Divino Afflante Spiritu''] in 1943 and in Dei Verbum in 1965, already cited. Note that this literary genre, under which Maria Valtorta’s Work falls, was made lawful just before the first visions began.&lt;/ref&gt;.<br /> <br /> * In 1937, he received [[Luigina Sinapi and Maria Valtorta|Luigina Sinapi]] (see next section) who two years earlier had announced, on behalf of the Virgin, his future election to the Pontificate (1939) and the Marian Apparitions of Tre Fontane (1947). Once pope, he regularly received Luigina Sinapi at the Vatican.<br /> <br /> * In April 1938, he prefaced &quot;A Call to Love&quot; containing the revelations of Sister Josefa Menendez.<br /> <br /> The beatification processes of these three people have been opened.<br /> <br /> 2. Cardinal Giovanni Battista Montini ([[Paul VI and Maria Valtorta|Paul VI]]) was Pius XII’s right hand during the period when the Holy Office sought to suppress Maria Valtorta’s work. As Archbishop of Milan (1954-1963), he had the opportunity to read the first of the four volumes then and ordered it for the Milan Grand Seminary. As pope, he sent Father Roschini, author of a laudatory book on Maria Valtorta’s work, a letter of encouragement&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.maria-valtorta.org/ValtortaWeb/Lettre-Pape.jpg Facsimile of the letter of thanks]&lt;/ref&gt;. This pope abolished the Index of forbidden books (1966).<br /> <br /> 3. Cardinal Josef Ratzinger ([[Benedict XVI and Maria Valtorta|Benedict XVI]]). It may surprise to find Cardinal Ratzinger cited among positive testimonies, given the publicity of his adverse 1985 letter, but there was an unexpected follow-up: a reader of the magazine ''L'Homme Nouveau,'' he read articles the Abbé Andrew the Apostle Richard published on Maria Valtorta. The cardinal asked the editor-in-chief, who complied, for a moratorium so he could check some points. A year later, he thanked him and said he could resume articles and their publication, as nothing opposed it. Two magazine staff confirmed this, including journalist Geneviève Esquier who published her attestation.<br /> <br /> In 1992, the publisher, unaware of this correspondence, went to the Holy Office palace, where a secretary acquaintance informed him that &quot;upstairs,&quot; the opinion on Maria Valtorta’s work had changed, and was now considered &quot;a good book&quot;&lt;ref&gt;[[Emilio Pisani]], Pro e contro Maria Valtorta {Italian}, 5th edition, CEV, 2008, pp. 280/281. This book is being translated into French.&lt;/ref&gt;. This secretary informed the Italian bishops’ conference of this positive change, prompting its letter allowing the publisher to continue publication, on condition of reading the work as human faith (Maria Valtorta’s work) not Catholic faith (divine origin).<br /> <br /> Mgr Danylak, Apostolic Administrator of the Greek Catholic Church of Canada, attests in his [http://www.valtorta-maria.com/Pages/001_Bishop_Roman_Danylak-Imprimatur.htm imprimatur] dated February 13, 2002 that Cardinal Ratzinger &quot;in private letters recognized this work 'is free from doctrinal or moral errors'.&quot; He does not specify the source but it is thought to be Vatican.&lt;ref&gt;Mgr Danylak was in Rome then (2002) and the link between Cardinal Ratzinger’s correspondence and the changed opinion on Maria Valtorta’s work, was only made public about 2010.&lt;/ref&gt;.<br /> <br /> The original letter from Cardinal Ratzinger with the magazine is currently being sought.<br /> <br /> In the last year of his pontificate, Benedict XVI beatified two overt promoters of Maria Valtorta’s work.<br /> <br /> 4. '''[[Mgr Alfonso Carinci and Maria Valtorta|Mgr Alfonso Carinci]]''' (1862-1963). This prelate was a close associate of Pius XII. He had solid experience in discernment of heavenly things. Indeed, as Secretary of the Congregation for Sacred Rites (currently for the cause of saints), he supervised 200 beatification processes and 62 canonizations including St. Pius X, whose confidant he was. He corresponded with Maria Valtorta and twice traveled from Rome to Viareggio.<br /> <br /> He, along with the future Cardinal Bea then confessor of Pius XII, advised submitting Maria Valtorta’s typed manuscripts to the Pope. In his letter of January 17, 1952, addressed to the pope, he stated criteria characterizing licit private revelations:<br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;There is nothing in it contrary to the Gospel. This work rather contributes to a better understanding of its meaning […] The words of Our Lord are in no way opposed to His Spirit.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> He further praised this heavenly gift (thanking the Lord for granting it), obtained at the price of suffering, and endorses the doctrinal conformity of the work (&quot;doctrinally and spiritually so elevated&quot;), while deeming certain descriptions superfluous.<br /> <br /> 5. '''Father Corrado Berti''', from 1960, annotated the entire “Il poema dell’Uomo-Dio” (The Gospel as Revealed to Me). He attests that, in her visions, Maria Valtorta used about 600 biblical references and that he himself mentioned some 7,000 in his footnotes and theological appendices (total 5,675). Father Berti taught dogmatics and sacramental theology at the Marianum Pontifical Faculty of Theology. He read all Maria Valtorta’s writings.<br /> <br /> 6. '''[[Mgr Ugo Emilio Lattanzi and Maria Valtorta|Mgr Ugo Emilio Lattanzi]]''' (1899-1969). Professor of fundamental theology, Dean of the Lateran's Faculty of Theology (1960-1968) and peritus (expert theologian) at Vatican II where he worked in the commission established at Cardinal Ottaviani’s request to propose a conciliar text on the Church&lt;ref&gt;''La Civiltà Cattolica'', Ticket 4013, September 2, 2017.&lt;/ref&gt;. Consultant to various Vatican congregations and organizations, member of the Pontifical Academy of Theology.<br /> <br /> He pronounced in favor of Maria Valtorta’s work, recognizing its theological value. He studied it for &quot;more than a year&quot;&lt;ref&gt;''Letters to Mother Teresa Maria'', Volume 2, p. 287.&lt;/ref&gt;, for an imprimatur request, at Mgr Fontevecchia's behest, bishop of Sora and his compatriot and friend. He found nothing opposed to the Catholic faith and concluded a preternatural source, though he was not sensitive to the descriptions that so attract readers. Likewise, he was puzzled by some original positions but did not explore them:<br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;I consider it absolutely impossible that the woman who is its author, a woman of lower than average culture, could have written such a quantity of pages with a pen without having been influenced by a preternatural power.<br /> These volumes contain splendid pages in thought and form […] While there are scenes where the Lord and the Virgin Mary show themselves true to themselves, a few others are perplexing. Likewise, next to pages of extraordinary theological depth, there are unusual expressions I do not see how to harmonize with common Doctrine. […] I am convinced that reading these volumes, after revision, could bring more than one indifferent soul to quench their thirst at the source of living Water: the Holy Scriptures.&lt;ref&gt;Mgr Ugo Lattanzi, Declaration, Rome, January 18, 1952.&lt;/ref&gt;&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> Mgr Michele Fontevecchia (and his successor) would have granted Imprimatur to the work if the Holy Office had not prevented it.<br /> <br /> 7. [[Father Gabriel M. Roschini and Maria Valtorta|Father Gabriele M. Roschini]] (1900-1977). Renowned mariologist, consultant (confirmed theologian) at the Holy Office and founder of the Marianum Pontifical University of Theology. He discovered Maria Valtorta’s complete works late. What he wrote in the introduction to his book The Virgin Mary in the Writings of Maria Valtorta sums it all up:<br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;For half a century, I have worked on mariology: studying, teaching, preaching and writing. I had to read countless Marian writings of all kinds: a true Marian library. But I feel obliged to candidly admit that the mariology emerging from Maria Valtorta’s published and unpublished writings was a true discovery to me. No other Marian writing, not even the sum of all I had read and studied, had been able to give me such a clear, vivid, complete, luminous, and fascinating idea of Mary, masterpiece of God—both simple and sublime—as Maria Valtorta’s writings.&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> This corroborates what, to mock it, the Holy Office censors said 14 years earlier:<br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;[The Holy Virgin] is everywhere, always ready to give lessons in Marian theology updated according to the most recent studies of current specialists.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> 8. '''[[Mgr Angelo Mercati and Maria Valtorta|Mgr Angelo Mercati]]''' (1870-1955), Prefect of the Vatican Archives from 1925 to 1955. His brother, Cardinal Giovanni Mercati, was Prefect of the Vatican Library. Both served under Popes Pius XI and Pius XII. Mgr Angelo Mercati read 600 pages of Maria Valtorta’s work, the most dogmatic ones, and told Father Berti in 1950:<br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;I was professor of dogmatic theology for eighteen years, and I must acknowledge this is a perfectly canonical work, in every respect. I was stunned. I do not know what to say. I have for years only dedicated myself to history and I remain deeply impressed by the multitude of news, details, etc. spread throughout the volume you gave me. I have now a clear idea of the work. I do not need to read more. I have had occasion to deal with the writings of [[Marie d'Agréda and Maria Valtorta|Mary of Agreda]] and [[Anne-Catherine Emmerich and Maria Valtorta|Anne Catherine Emmerich]]. The book you presented belongs to the category of [[Private Revelations and the Church|private revelations]]. The work must be printed with imprimatur, accompanied by a declaration stating that the Church does not intend to pronounce judgment but only permits printing because it contains nothing reprehensible.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;''Letters to Mother Teresa Maria'', Volume 2, p. 287.&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> 9. '''[[Mgr Piergiacomo De Nicolò and Maria Valtorta|Mgr Piergiacomo De Nicolò]]''' (1929-2021). This Apostolic Nuncio, archbishop of Martana (Umbria), presided over the October 12, 2011, 50th anniversary of Maria Valtorta’s death under Benedict XVI’s pontificate. The ceremony took place in the cloister chapel of the Santissima Annunziata in Florence, a stronghold of the Servites of Mary who rendered, on this occasion, a strong tribute to their tertiary. Mgr De Nicolò stated, among other things, at the end of his homily:<br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;Maria Valtorta’s work—where dogmatic and moral errors are absent, as many have noted—has for about half a century enjoyed a broad and silent diffusion among the faithful (about thirty translations into foreign languages) of all social classes worldwide, and without particular publicity. The sublimity, height, and wisdom of its content have produced many fruits of goodness and conversion; even people caught up in the world’s whirl and afar from Christian faith, but desiring solid certainties, have opened to reunion with the Absolute, with the God of Love, and found there a full confirmation of the Church’s bi-millennial teaching.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> Mgr De Nicolò’s funeral took place in ''St. Peter's Basilica'' in Rome, presided over by Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Supreme Pontiff’s right hand since 2013.<br /> <br /> 10. [[Abbé René Laurentin and Maria Valtorta|Abbé René Laurentin]] (1917-2017). A prelate of Benedict XVI (quoted several times in one of his works), he was a French theologian and exegete, notably specialist in Marian Apparitions. He was consultant to the preparatory theological commission and expert at Vatican II. Member of the Pontifical Theological Academy Marianum among others, he co-wrote three books on the Maria Valtorta case. At the end of the first, he wrote:<br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;Maria Valtorta emerges and commends herself to many titles […] Her life of long suffering lived in total abandonment to God testifies to her holiness. She does not diverge in any way from the Gospel, nowhere contradicts it, nor adds strange teachings and remains conforming to the Spirit of the Gospel. Furthermore, she is the one who adds to the Gospel’s narrated episodes other unknown ones, although they easily fit around the Gospel without contradiction or rupture. This also argues in favor of her faithfulness […] She gathered the broadest endorsements at the top, including that of Pius XII, who discreetly protected her from the Holy Office […] However, Maria Valtorta’s narrative is not a fifth Gospel.&lt;ref&gt;''Chrétiens Magazine'', no. 218, March 15, 2009, special Maria Valtorta issue, p. 7. This article reformulates what he says in ''La Vie de Marie d’après les révélations des mystiques'', Presses de la Renaissance, 2011, pp. 37 to 46.&lt;/ref&gt;.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> === In summary. ===<br /> <br /> * The ten authoritative theologians detect no opinion contrary to faith or morals in the work, although some find original positions. Four underline the remarkable doctrinal value (Mgr Carinci, G.M. Roschini, Mgr Mercati, Mgr De Nicolò).<br /> * They highlight the legality of its reading, even its capacity to bring to the Gospel (Mgr Lattanzi, Mgr Carinci, Mgr De Nicolò).<br /> * They detect no new elements contrary to the canonical Gospel, although two are uneasy with its descriptions (Mgr Lattanzi, Mgr Carinci).<br /> * They do not pronounce on divine origin (revealed) but on an inspired source (sometimes explicit such as Pius XII &quot;extraordinary origin or not&quot; or Mgr Carinci &quot;the Lord&quot;).<br /> These criteria align with the truth criteria for private revelations demanded by the Church.<br /> <br /> == For: the endorsement of saints and founders of Church movements. ==<br /> <br /> The endorsement of saints (and/or founders of Church movements) is important as it comes from people whose lives testify to fidelity to the Church and the Gospel.<br /> <br /> Some only read Maria Valtorta’s work. This is already a tangible sign as a saint does not nourish themselves with harmful or frivolous readings. Others recommended it for reading or distribution.<br /> <br /> To our knowledge, no saints have condemned or simply rejected Maria Valtorta’s work, except Saint John XXIII in whose name the placing on the Index was ordered. However, it would be an abuse to believe it was a personal and thoughtful decision. Indeed, the ''Osservatore Romano'' article accompanying the censure targeted the &quot;naivety&quot; of several prelates in Pius XII’s entourage, including Cardinal Bea who, appointed thereto by John XXIII, became a pillar of the conciliar reform he undertook at that time.<br /> <br /> Here is the procession of saints who had, at one time, Maria Valtorta’s work in their hands:<br /> <br /> 1. '''Venerable Pius XII'''<br /> <br /> 2. '''Saint Paul VI''', as noted.<br /> <br /> 3. '''[[John Paul II and Maria Valtorta|Saint John Paul II]]'''. Father Yannik Bonnet, whose vocation is linked to Maria Valtorta’s work, met three times during his studies in Rome&lt;ref&gt;In the 1996/1999 years. Father Yannik Bonnet became a priest late in life, upon widowhood. A Sciences-Po graduate and former director of human relations for a large French industrial group, he is father of seven children. He owes his vocation to discovering Maria Valtorta and spoke of it with the cardinal. He also met the Holy Father three times.&lt;/ref&gt; Cardinal Stanislas Dziwisz, John Paul II’s secretary. He testifies&lt;ref&gt;May 19, 2017: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4I0v-8LQnY&amp;feature=youtu.be&amp;t=1m50s Interview by Maxime Dalle on Radio Notre-Dame (Ecclésia broadcast) (go to 1’50’’)].&lt;/ref&gt; that the cardinal assured him of frequently seeing Maria Valtorta’s works on the Sovereign Pontiff’s bedside table.<br /> <br /> Pope John Paul II never pronounced on Maria Valtorta’s case. However, he canonized Padre Pio who recommended reading her work and beatified Mother Teresa, a reader of this work whom she carried during her travels.<br /> <br /> 4. '''[[Padre Pio and Maria Valtorta|Saint Padre Pio of Pietrelcina]]''' (1887-1968). Maria Valtorta benefited from his bilocations’ comfort. It was during one of these that she experienced &quot;the odor of sanctity&quot;&lt;ref&gt;''Notebooks of 1943'', May 13.&lt;/ref&gt;. Padre Pio’s opinion on Maria Valtorta’s visions is known in two ways:<br /> <br /> To Elisa Lucchi, a penitent asking one year before his death (thus in 1967) for advice on reading &quot;The Gospel as it was revealed to me,&quot; Padre Pio responds: &quot;Not only do I permit you to read it, but I recommend it.&quot;<br /> <br /> But we mostly know his view through Nonna Susanna (&quot;Grandma Suzanne&quot;), a nun who wrote a column under this pseudonym in the magazine &quot;Vita Femminile.&quot; In a 1972 letter to the publisher, she testifies that Padre Pio, some months before his death, asked her to read Maria Valtorta’s work and to publish chapters in their magazine. He definitely wanted the magazine to always be available at the Sollievo della Sofferenza Hospital (private hospital founded by Padre Pio in San Giovanni Rotondo). Nine hundred copies were sent there weekly.<br /> <br /> 5. '''[[Mother Teresa of Calcutta and Maria Valtorta|Saint Mother Teresa of Calcutta]]''' (1910-1997). According to the testimonial honor (April 25, 2016) of Father Leo Maasburg, National Director of Pontifical Missionary Works in Austria and Mother Teresa’s confessor for 4 years, Mother Teresa always traveled with three books: the Bible, her Breviary, and a third book. When Father Leo asked what it was, she said it was a Maria Valtorta book. Asked about its content, she simply said: &quot;Read it.&quot; Beatified by John Paul II, she was canonized by Pope Francis.<br /> <br /> 6. '''[[Mother Maria Inès of the Most Holy Sacrament and Maria Valtorta|Blessed Mother Maria Inès (Arias) of the Most Holy Sacrament]]''' (1904-1981). Mexican nun. On July 19, 2001, Sister Maria Uranga confirmed to the publisher that their congregation’s founder, Blessed Mother Maria Inès of the Most Holy Sacrament, had distributed Maria Valtorta’s work in each of the 35 houses she founded, &quot;because she loved it very much.&quot; She also gave copies to priests and bishops.<br /> <br /> 7. '''[[Blessed Gabriele M. Allegra and Maria Valtorta|Blessed Gabriele M. Allegra]]''' (1907-1976). Translator of the Bible into Chinese. He wrote an analysis of Maria Valtorta’s works in which he recognized that they came &quot;from the spirit of Jesus.&quot;<br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;I also note that some of the Lord’s discourses — whose main subjects are only briefly mentioned in the Gospels — are developed in this work (of Maria Valtorta) with a naturalness, with such a thread of thought so logical, so spontaneous, so intrinsically connected to time, place, and circumstances, that I have not found in the most famous exegetes.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;Journal of Blessed G. Allegra, Holy Tuesday and Wednesday 1968.&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> And further:<br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;I find no other work among renowned scripture specialists that complements and clarifies the canonical Gospels so naturally, spontaneously, and with such vividness as does Maria Valtorta’s Poem. The Gospels constantly mention crowds, miracles, and we have some great traits of the Lord’s discourses. In the Poem of the Man-God, however, crowds move, shout, act; miracles, one might say, are seen; the Lord’s discourses, even the most ardent in their conciseness, become vividly clear.<br /> What amazes me most is that Maria Valtorta never falls into theological errors; on the contrary, she makes the revealed mysteries easier for the reader by translating them into popular and modern language (...).<br /> Natural gifts and mystical gifts harmoniously combined, that explains this masterpiece of Italian religious literature, and perhaps of world Christian literature.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;''Ibid'', August 25/26, 1968.&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> 8. '''Blessed Luigi Novarese''' (1914-1984). Mgr Luigi Novarese served at the Vatican Secretariat of State from 1942 to 1970. It was here he heard of Maria Valtorta’s work from his friend, Mgr Alfonso Carinci (see above). He founded the Centro Volontari della Sofferenza (Center of the Volunteers of Suffering), which Maria Valtorta joined and which he visited.<br /> <br /> Declared Venerable on March 27, 2010 by Pope Benedict XVI, he was beatified May 11, 2013 by Pope Francis.<br /> <br /> 9. '''[[Giorgio La Pira|Venerable Giorgio La Pira]]''' (1904-1977). Nicknamed &quot;the holy mayor,&quot; he was a Christian Democratic deputy and mayor of Florence from 1951 to 1957 and 1961 to 1965. Known for his peace travels and works, Dominican and Franciscan tertiary, he was invited to Vatican II. Declared Venerable by Pope Francis July 5, 2018.<br /> <br /> He participated in 1976 in monthly readings where passages of Maria Valtorta’s work were read at the Basilica Ss. Annunziata in Florence, where Maria Valtorta is buried. His testimony on Maria Valtorta’s work in a few lines:<br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;I have found no theological incorrectness in the work on the Gospel entitled “Words of Eternal Life”; it is an experience of great interest. This is my opinion. Florence, February 12, 1952.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> 10. The '''[[Luigina Sinapi and Maria Valtorta|Venerable Luigina Sinapi]]'''. (1916-1978). Like Maria Valtorta, she was a lay tertiary Franciscan and Servite tertiary. On May 22, 2009, after a 5-year investigation, the Rome Vicariate (Diocesan Chancery of Rome, Pope’s diocese) submitted her &quot;Positio&quot; (= final report) to the Congregation for the Causes of Saints to initiate her beatification cause.<br /> <br /> She had direct access to Pius XII to whom she announced his election and the Tre Fontane Apparitions (see above). In 1950, at Jesus's request, she came to the Holy Office to confront its officials about their obstruction to Maria Valtorta’s work. Warning that she intended to reveal this behavior to the Holy Father, she was threatened, including with rape&lt;ref&gt;Literally: &quot;then they tried to commit carnal violence against her&quot;. Converging testimonies of Master Camillo Corsanego (1891-1963), Dean of Consistorial Counselors (Vatican), one of the founding fathers of Italian Christian Democracy, and Lorenzo Ferri, sculptor competitor for the new Holy Door of the Vatican (cf. ''Letters to Mother Teresa Maria'', Volume 2, pp. 292-295 and 299-300).&lt;/ref&gt;.<br /> <br /> 11. '''[[Father Giandomenico Mucci and Maria Valtorta|Father Giandomenico Mucci]]''' (1938-2020). Jesuit, theologian, and scholar, considered one of the most prestigious writers of ''La Civiltà Cattolica'' for 36 years, a semi-official Vatican publication. For 30 years, Father Mucci was spiritual director to the Pontifical Ecclesiastical Academy, Vatican diplomats' school. He is co-founder of the Unprofitable Servants of the Good Shepherd movement (SI).<br /> <br /> On April 23, 1996, he answered, on behalf of ''La Civiltà Cattolica'' director, a reader wondering about the moral value of Maria Valtorta’s Index lifting:<br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;Since it is clear that Maria Valtorta’s books not only are no danger to your faith, but rather strengthen it, and since your conscience is serene in this reading also due to the comfort of authoritative testimonies you have cited, it seems to me you may continue reading without yielding to doubts or scruples or, even less, to disagreements expressed by some scholars on Maria Valtorta’s work.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> Ten years earlier (1986), he had sharply commented on a stupidly hostile book on Maria Valtorta and concluded&lt;ref&gt;''Civiltà cattolica'', October 1986, Notes, p.99.&lt;/ref&gt;:<br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;We believe it will still take time to make a definitive, just, and calm judgment on the entire works of Valtorta, even if we notice with perplexity and dissatisfaction, ''the essence of pure adherence to written Revelation, this simplicity of word, this mastery of sentiments and imagination, which is the glory and sign of true Catholic mysticism.''&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> 12. Sister Maria Veronica Algranati (1901-1985), known as &quot;Grandma Suzanne&quot; (Nonna Susanna), wrote a column in the magazine “Vita Femminile”. Under Padre Pio’s explicit requests, she had to disseminate extracts of Maria Valtorta’s work and read them herself. Arguing she lacked time to read the 10 volumes, Padre Pio told her: &quot;You will read them and listen to me.&quot;<br /> <br /> She founded the movement of the Daughters of the Most Humble Mother, Servants of Redemption (Figlie di Madre Umilissima, serve della Redenzione).<br /> <br /> === In summary. ===<br /> <br /> These 12 saints or founders of Church movements read the work, sometimes recommending (Pius XII, Paul VI, Padre Pio, Mother Teresa), or defending it (G.M. Allegra, Luigina Sinapi, Fr. G. Mucci), even promoting it (Padre Pio, Mother Maria Inès Arias, Sister Maria Veronica Algranati).<br /> Under these circumstances, how can one believe Maria Valtorta’s work builds a schismatic or sectarian Church outside the Church?<br /> <br /> == To go further ==<br /> <br /> * [[Private Revelations and the Church]]<br /> * [https://www.indexvaltorta.fr/home Search the Valtorta index]<br /> * [https://mariavaltorta.forumactif.com/ Discuss on the Valtorta forum]<br /> <br /> == Notes and references ==<br /> &lt;references /&gt;<br /> [[Category:Authenticity of the Work]]<br /> [[fr:La révélation privée présumée de Maria Valtorta]]</div>

<p>Emmanuel: Text replacement - &quot;The Gospel as It Was Revealed to Me&quot; to &quot;The Gospel as Revealed to Me&quot;</p> <hr /> <div>{{Other|See also:|Visions and Dictations of Maria Valtorta|Maria Valtorta in the Work}}<br /> [[File:Œuvres de Maria Valtorta.png|thumb|400x400px|The works of [[Maria Valtorta]]: [[The Gospel as Revealed to Me|The Gospel as Revealed to Me]], [[Notebooks of 1943|the Notebooks of 1943]], [[Notebooks of 1944|the Notebooks of 1944]], [[Notebooks from 1945 to 1950|the Notebooks from 1945 to 1950]], [[The Notebooks]], [[Book of Azarias|the Book of Azarias]], [[Lessons on Saint Paul's Epistle to the Romans]] and the [[Autobiography]].]]<br /> The work of [[Maria Valtorta]] mainly consists of &quot;inspired&quot; writings (visions and dictations). Maria Valtorta received her main work, [[The Gospel as Revealed to Me|The Gospel as Revealed to Me]], essentially through [[Visions and Dictations of Maria Valtorta|visions]], and her various complementary works, [[Notebooks of 1943|the Notebooks of 1943]], [[Notebooks of 1944|the Notebooks of 1944]], [[Notebooks from 1945 to 1950|the Notebooks from 1945 to 1950]], [[The Notebooks]], the [[Book of Azarias]], as well as [[Lessons on Saint Paul's Epistle to the Romans|Lessons on Saint Paul’s Epistle to the Romans]] mainly through [[Visions and Dictations of Maria Valtorta|dictations]], besides some occasional visions. Additionally, there are personal writings such as her [[Autobiography]] and correspondence.<br /> <br /> ==Origin and nature of the texts==<br /> In His comments, [[Jesus]] attributes the inspired texts, especially [[The Gospel as Revealed to Me|the major work]] of Maria Valtorta, to the [[Holy Spirit, Paraclete, Spirit|Holy Spirit]].&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;On the evening of the Last Supper, I said to the Eleven who [[Love, Charity, To Love|loved]] Me: 'When the [[Holy Spirit, Paraclete, Spirit|Comforter Spirit]] comes, He will ''reCall'' to you all that I have told you.' When I spoke, I always had in mind, in addition to those standing before Me, all who would be My [[Disciples]] in spirit, in [[Truth, sincerity|truth]], and those who would have the [[Will, Good or Bad Will|will]] to become so. The [Holy Spirit] now completes His work as Teacher by “reCalling” My [[Word, Verb|words]] in the [[Heart]] of those who are led by Him and who are the children of [[God]]. This constitutes the Gospel. ''ReCall'' here means illuminating one’s spirit. For it is useless to recall the words of the Gospel if one does not understand their spirit [...] ''Indeed, only the Holy Spirit, author of the Gospel, is also the One who recalls it, comments on it, and completes it in the depths of the Souls of the children of God.'' <br /> <br /> “But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the [[God|Father]] will send in My name, He will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you” ([https://bible.usccb.org/bible/john/14 John 14:26]).<br /> <br /> “When He comes, the Spirit of truth, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak, and He will declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take what is Mine and declare it to you. All that the Father has is Mine; therefore I said that He will take what is Mine and declare it to you” (John 16:13–15)&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot; /&gt;.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Jesus therefore defines the [[To give, to give oneSelf|gift]] of this work as the actualized memory (anamnesis&lt;ref&gt;Anamnesis is a medical and liturgical term. It denotes the return to the memory of the lived past and opposes amnesia, which is its forgetting. In liturgy, it applies to the prayer following the Consecration. The most commonly used of the four retained formulas is: &quot;The mystery of faith is great | We proclaim Your death, Lord Jesus, we proclaim Your resurrection, we await Your coming in glory.&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;) of the eternal Gospel which it &quot;reCalls, comments on, and completes in the depths of the Souls of the children of God.&quot; To those who rightly object that Revelation is closed, Jesus clarifies: &quot;this work adds nothing to Revelation, it only fills the gaps that occurred due to natural causes&lt;ref&gt;This is the realm of exegesis to explore the losses of original meaning of the texts.&lt;/ref&gt; and [[Supernatural, Occult|supernatural]] wills&lt;ref&gt;This especially applies to the life of the Virgin Mary in the great mysteries of her Immaculate Conception or her Assumption recognized late.&lt;/ref&gt;.&quot; The conformity of Maria Valtorta’s writings to the [[La révélation privée de Maria Valtorta#1 - Degré de conformité à l’Évangile canonique.|Gospel]], but also to the [[La révélation privée de Maria Valtorta#2 – Degré d’appréhension de la Bible.|Bible]], is one of its major characteristics. For these inspired writings, Maria Valtorta is not the author.<br /> *'''The [[Visions and Dictations of Maria Valtorta|visions]]''' : Maria Valtorta is only the ''describer''. She describes what she sees, hears or feels in her own words, but ''the origin of the vision'' is inspired. [[Jesus]] asks her not to omit any detail: He deems them important to achieve the greatest possible authenticity.<br /> *'''The [[Visions and Dictations of Maria Valtorta|dictations]]''' : Maria Valtorta merely records what is first dictated by [[Jesus]] or [[Virgin Mary|Mary]], then, over time, by God the Father, The Holy Spirit, the [[Angels]], or the [[Saint, Holiness, Sanctification|saints]]. These are their words that we read, ''as understood by Maria Valtorta.'' She clearly did not have the capacities or [[Knowledge, Foresight, Thought, Revelations, Exegesis|knowledge]] to address most topics tackled.<br /> <br /> In both cases, Jesus calls Maria Valtorta an &quot;instrument&quot; in reference to the long preparation she underwent to be only the &quot;pen of God,&quot; according to the description given by one of her hagiographers&lt;ref&gt;&quot;Per obedience she writes her autobiography, the first valtortian work, and from here begins her activity as a writer, becoming for several years ''the pen of God''. - ''[https://www.santiebeati.it/dettaglio/91766 Santi e Beati, Maria Valtorta]'', Italian - P. Massimo Cuofano, Servants of Mary (+28/04/2017).&lt;/ref&gt;. To that end, and to prevent loss between the revelation and its transcription, Maria Valtorta writes herself and immediately. <br /> <br /> * '''Authorial writings''' : Maria Valtorta expressed herself as such in her correspondence and in the rare comments that punctuate visions and dictations. These personal writings are entirely distinct from the inspired writings which she never edits. It is these authorial writings that attest to the [[Saint, Holiness, Sanctification|holiness]] of Maria Valtorta, not the visions and dictations that cannot be attributed to her. Among these testimonies, her ''[[Autobiography]]'' is of particular importance.<br /> <br /> The mode of reception of the work is documented within it, whether it concerns details of the manifestation of the charism itself, the divine reasons for the [[To give, to give oneSelf|gift]] of the work, or instructions concerning its writing, revision, or transmission.<br /> <br /> See the article: [[Visions and Dictations of Maria Valtorta|The Visions and Dictations of Maria Valtorta]].<br /> <br /> ===Mode of revelation===<br /> Maria Valtorta is present in the scenes she describes and her descriptions appeal to her five senses: mainly hearing and sight, but also, more rarely, smell, taste, and touch. She becomes an active witness of what happens and reports it as a recorded report. This is the ''inner perception,'’ one of the three communication modes typically retained by the [[The Work of Maria Valtorta and the Church|Church]] for private revelations. It is encountered, for example, in Apparitions where the [[Visions, Seers|seer]] touches a reality inaccessible to our usual [[Flesh, meaning|senses]]&lt;ref&gt;Cardinal J. Ratzinger (Benedict XVI) – [http://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/congregations/cfaith/documents/rc_con_cfaith_doc_20000626_message-fatima_fr.html Theological commentary on the secret of Fatima] - The anthropological structure of private revelations, June 29, 2000, '''located at the end of the document'''.&lt;/ref&gt; but perceives it with his senses made supernatural. The numerous details rendered by Maria Valtorta testify to the authenticity of the vision because most cannot originate from her personal culture or from documentary study.<br /> <br /> This mystical mechanism is particularly well documented in Maria Valtorta’s writings. She primarily situates the mystical life in the &quot;[[The Spirit]]&quot;, the third component of man evoked by [[Saul (Paul) the Apostle|Saint Paul]] ([[Man is Body, Soul, and Spirit]]). She does not theorize the concept but experiences it. Her testimonies illuminate several aspects of mystical life, such as participation in redemptive [[Pain, Suffering, To Suffer|sufferings]] (the [[Co-redeemer, Victim Soul, Reparative Soul, Host, Victimal Gift|Victim Souls]]), the [[Kingdom, Royalty, Reign|Kingdom]] of God &quot;within us,&quot; the &quot;death&quot; of the [[Soul]] yet [[Eternity, Eternal|immortal]], [[Ecstasy]]... and of course, visions and revelations. The [[Church]] teaches that this distinction does not introduce duality in the Soul. &quot;Spirit&quot; signifies that man is ordered, from his [[Création, créatures, Genèse|creation]], toward his [[Supernatural, Occult|supernatural]] end, and that ''his [[Soul]] is capable of being elevated gratuitously to communion with God''&lt;ref&gt;See [https://www.vatican.va/archive/FRA0013/__P1C.HTM CEC § 367].&lt;/ref&gt;.<br /> <br /> See article: [[Man is Body, Soul, and Spirit]]<br /> <br /> ==Reasons for her work==<br /> For [[Mgr Ugo Emilio Lattanzi and Maria Valtorta|the dean of the Pontifical Lateran University]], the work of Maria Valtorta known today under the title ''[[The Gospel as Revealed to Me]]'' surpasses human possibilities&lt;ref&gt;[[Mgr Ugo Emilio Lattanzi and Maria Valtorta#STATEMENT|Mgr Ugo Emilio Lattanzi]]: &quot;I consider it absolutely impossible that the Woman who is the author of it, a Woman of less than average culture, could have written such a large amount of pages by pen without undergoing the influence of a preternatural power.&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;. For this [[Mgr Maurizio Raffa and Maria Valtorta|director of an international scientific exchange organization]], the author shows talents that cannot be gathered in a single person&lt;ref&gt;[[Mgr Maurizio Raffa and Maria Valtorta|Mgr Maurizio Raffa]]: &quot;To write a single part of the work (of Maria Valtorta), you would have to be an Author (who does not exist today) who is at once a great poet, talented biblical scholar, confirmed theologian, expert in archaeology and topography, and profound connoisseur of human psychology.&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;. For the [[Cardinal Augustin Bea and Maria Valtorta#Attestation on the work of Maria Valtorta|rector of the Pontifical Biblical Institute]], the knowledge displayed is &quot;remarkable&quot;&lt;ref&gt;[[Cardinal Augustin Bea and Maria Valtorta#Attestation on the work of Maria Valtorta|Cardinal Augustin Bea]]: &quot;Regarding exegesis, I have found, in the leaflets I examined, no error of any kind. I was also greatly impressed by the remarkable accuracy of archaeological and topographical descriptions.&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;. For this Blessed, Bible translator into Chinese, this [[Private Revelations and the Church|private revelation]] is a &quot;masterpiece.&quot; For the [[Father Gabriel M. Roschini and Maria Valtorta|founder of the Pontifical Marian University]], what she reveals about the [[Virgin Mary|Virgin]] Mary surpasses all he has read or written&lt;ref&gt;[[Father Gabriel M. Roschini and Maria Valtorta#Apology for the work of Maria Valtorta|Father Gabriel M. Roschini]]: &quot;The Mariology emerging from the published and unpublished writings of Maria Valtorta was a true discovery for me. No other Marian writing, not even the sum of all I have read and studied, was able to give me such a clear, vivid, complete, luminous, and fascinating idea of Mary, God’s masterpiece, both simple and sublime, as the writings of Maria Valtorta did.&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; and he recalls the great conformity of these accounts with the biblical Scripture and especially the Gospel&lt;ref&gt;See The private revelation of Maria Valtorta, [[The private revelation of Maria Valtorta#1 - Degree of conformity to the canonical Gospel.|Degree of conformity to the canonical Gospel]] | [[The private revelation of Maria Valtorta#2 – Degree of apprehension of the Bible.|Degree of apprehension of the Bible]].&lt;/ref&gt;. <br /> <br /> For these authoritative persons, the work is remarkable on many levels, and their opinions raise questions about the meaning and place to give a private revelation that claims to describe the visions of the life and words of the [[Christ, Messiah, Christianity, Parousia|Christ]] 2,000 years ago: In what way does it &quot;bear an authentic call of Christ to His Church&quot; in this particular period of our history?&lt;ref&gt;See ''[https://www.vatican.va/archive/FRA0013/__PI.HTM Catechism of the Catholic Church]'', § 67: &quot;Guided by the Magisterium of the Church, the sensus fidelium knows how to discern and interpret what in these revelations constitutes an authentic call of Christ or His saints to the Church.&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Jesus specifies this in a dictation to Maria Valtorta:&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;The reasons that pushed Me to enlighten and dictate the episodes and the words I addressed to little John&lt;ref&gt;Affectionate nickname given to Maria Valtorta.&lt;/ref&gt; are multiple, in addition to the [[Joy, happiness|joy]] of communicating an exact knowledge of Me to this [[Co-redeemer, Victim Soul, Reparative Soul, Host, Victimal Gift|victim and loving Soul]]. But what animates Me above all is My [[Love, Charity, To Love|love]] for the teaching and militant Church and the desire to help Souls in their ascent toward [[Perfect, Perfection|perfection]]. Knowing Me helps to rise. My [[Word, Verb|Word]] is [[Life, Living|life]].&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot;&gt;[https://valtorta.fr/glorification-de-jesus-et-marie/l-aGod-a-l-oeuvre.html EMV 652].&lt;/ref&gt;&quot; &lt;/blockquote&gt;It is therefore appropriate to examine what this work brings to &quot;the teaching and militant Church&quot; and to &quot;Souls ascending to perfection.&quot; In other words, what are the pursued aims or reasons for this gift, and what are the factors or causes that motivate them. <br /> <br /> === Triggering factors ===<br /> These private revelations are motivated by the prophetic vision of an era of dechristianization and apostasy of peoples to which Jesus intends to bring a remedy: the power of His Word.&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;Less science and more [[Love, Charity, To Love|charity]].

It would be useless to inform the [[Priest, Pastor, Spiritual Guide|priests]] of such a great gift. It is precisely among them that there are those who, preaching about Me and the [[Tables of Miracles in the Work of Maria Valtorta|past miracles]], deny My power, almost as if I were no longer the Christ capable of speaking still to Souls languishing, deprived of My Word, almost as if they admitted My current incapacity to perform [[Miracles, wonders and signs|miracles]] and make the power of [[Grace]] act in a Heart.

The steps are: Christianity → Bible not infallible → Man not made in God’s image → No miracle → No virginal conception → No deity → No atonement → No resurrection → Agnosticism → Atheism]]<br /> <br /> As a main reason, Jesus targets Modernism, a [[Religion|religious]] movement that crosses Catholicism. Born at the end of the 19th century, its impacts are still felt today. It is characterized by a break with traditional [[Teaching, Catechism|Catholic teaching]], in light of philosophical, historical, and psychological theories of the &lt;abbr&gt;20&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/abbr&gt; century. This movement is therefore the principal motive of the gift of the visions&lt;ref&gt;The reasons given by Jesus largely reprise the content of what is called ''[https://www.abbe-carmignac.org/?Le-serment-anti-moderniste the anti-modernist oath]'', except notably the rejection of scientific exegesis (a strong component of Maria Valtorta’s work). This oath, which teachers had to pronounce annually, is taken from the Motu proprio ''[https://www.vatican.va/content/pius-x/la/motu_proprio/documents/hf_p-x_motu-proprio_19100901_sacrorum-antistitum.html Sacrorum Antistitum]'' published by Pius X on September 1, 1910, following his condemnation of modernism three years earlier. John Paul II later promoted similar norms in his Motu proprio ''[https://www.vatican.va/content/john-paul-ii/fr/motu_proprio/documents/hf_jp-ii_motu-proprio_30061998_ad-tuendam-fidem.html Ad Tuendam Fidem],'' annotated by Cardinal Ratzinger, June 30, 1998.&lt;/ref&gt;:&lt;blockquote&gt;<br /> &quot;My spokesperson [Maria Valtorta] knows the many reasons for the gift of this work, but the deepest among these is that in these times when Modernism, condemned by my vicar Pius X&lt;ref&gt;Pius X, in the decree ''[https://www.papalencyclicals.net/pius10/p10lamen.htm Lamentabili sane exitu]'' (With lamentable ends, July 4, 1907) and then the encyclical ''[https://www.vatican.va/content/pius-x/fr/encyclicals/documents/hf_p-x_enc_19070908_pascendi-dominici-gregis.html Pascendi Dominici Gregis] (September 8, 1907),'', fiercely attacked the modernist exegetes, accused of attacking the very roots of faith and the Church by going as far as denying the divinity of Christ. This severe crackdown did not pay enough attention to the needs of exegetes to reconcile faith with new data inspiring Modernism. Thus, the publication by Pius XII of the encyclical ''[https://www.papalencyclicals.net/pius10/p10lamen.htm Divino afflante spiritu (September 30, 1943)]'' on biblical studies freed exegetes, long without exit between brutal condemnation that multiplied suspicions and the narrow path where exegetes sought their way. It is interesting to note that Jesus confirms St. Pius X’s diagnosis, but without adding excommunication: on the contrary, He provides exegetes what they sought, a historically restored version of His life in Palestine. Note also that the gift of the work in 1943 comes when Pius XII publishes his encyclical, but after its publication: Heaven also conforms to the laws of the Church.&lt;/ref&gt;, becomes [[Vice, Vitiated, Corruption, Corrupt|corrupted]] to give birth to increasingly harmful Doctrines, it is vital that the [[Saint, Holiness, Sanctification|holy]] [[Church]], represented by My pontiff, has additional resources to fight those who deny:<br /> * the [[Supernatural, Occult|supernatural]] character of dogmas;<br /> * the divinity of Christ;<br /> * the [[Truth, sincerity|Truth]] of Christ, God and Man, real and perfect as it was transmitted also well by faith as by His history (the Gospel, the Acts of the [[Apostles]], the apostolic Epistles, the Tradition)&lt;ref&gt;This is a theme taken up in the dogmatic constitution [https://www.vatican.va/archive/hist_councils/ii_vatican_council/documents/vat-ii_const_19651118_dei-verbum_fr.html ''Dei Verbum''] on Divine Revelation.&lt;/ref&gt;;<br /> * the Doctrine of [[Saul (Paul) the Apostle|Paul]] and [[John of Zebedee the Apostle|John]], defined by the councils of Nicaea, Ephesus, Chalcedon and others more recent, as the true [[Doctrine]] I [[Teaching, Catechism|taught]] orally;<br /> * My infinite [[Scholars, Science|science]] because divine and [[Perfect, Perfection|perfect]];<br /> * the divine origin of dogmas, of the [[Sacraments]] of the one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church;<br /> * the universality and continuity until the end of the ages of the Gospel given by Me for ''all'' [[Man, Humanity, Human|men]];<br /> * the nature, perfect from the beginning, of My Doctrine: far from becoming what it is through successive transformations, it is as it was given: the Doctrine of Christ, of the time of [[Grace]], of the Kingdom of [[Paradise, Heaven|Heavens]] and of the Kingdom of God in you, divine, perfect, immutable, a Good News for all who thirst for God&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot; /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;<br /> &lt;/blockquote&gt;More than a century passed from Alfred Loisy to Eugen Drewermann. '''Alfred Loisy''' (1857–1940), a French priest and theologian, is often considered a leader of Modernism. For him, the Church and dogmas are historical developments and the Gospels must be read in the light of historical criticism. He is author of a phrase often cited: &quot;Jesus announced the Kingdom, and it is the Church that came.&quot; In contemporary times, the German theologian '''Eugen Drewermann''' (born 1940) interprets the [[Miracles, wonders and signs|miracles]] of the Gospels as symbolic accounts without literal historical foundation. He proposes a psychoanalytical reading of biblical texts, considering miracles as symbolic expressions of inner human experiences. One cannot help but draw a parallel between the prolonged spread of these opinions and Western dechristianization. Whereas the Modernist current proclaims that the Gospel and Church are human works, Maria Valtorta’s private revelation exposes that it is a divine work entrusted to men, just like [[Création, créatures, Genèse|Creation]]. Fundamentally different.<br /> <br /> Jesus gives this &quot;fight&quot; Against errors an eschatological dimension by referencing [https://bible.usccb.org/bible/revelation/12 Apocalypse 12] and situates the role the work should play: &quot;the eternal Gospel still open — even on pages that had until now been closed.&quot; &lt;blockquote&gt;To the red [[Satan|dragon]] with seven heads, ten horns and seven diadems on his heads, who sweeps down with his tail a third of the stars of heaven and throws them to the earth — and truly I say to you they are hurled far below the earth — and who persecutes the [[Virgin Mary|Woman]], the beasts of the sea and the earth&lt;ref&gt;[https://bible.usccb.org/bible/revelation/13 Apocalypse 13].&lt;/ref&gt;, which too many people worship, dazzled as they are by their appearance and wonders&lt;ref&gt;Appearance and wonders here consist of seduction and popular success exercised by modernist theories.

THE DIGNITY OF Woman and her vocation – constant objects of human and Christian reflection – have in recent years taken on a very particular prominence. This is evident, among other things, ''in the interventions of the Magisterium of the Church, echoed by various documents of the Second Vatican Council,'' which later affirmed in its Final Message:<br /> <br /> '''&quot;The hour is coming, the hour has come when the vocation of Woman is fulfilled in fullness''', the hour when Woman acquires in the city an influence, a radiance, a power never before reached. That is why, at this moment when humanity is undergoing such a profound change, '''Women imbued with The Spirit of the Gospel can do so much to help humanity not to fall'''&quot; ( Message of the Council to Women (December 8, 1965): AAS 58 (1966), pp. 13-14).<br /> <br /> ''The words of this Message summarize what had already been expressed by the Council's teaching, especially in the pastoral constitution Gaudium et Spes (''nos. 8, 9, 60.'')'' and the decree on the apostolate of the laity ''Apostolicam actuositatem (no. 9).''&lt;/blockquote&gt;Then the Apostolic Letter addresses several themes related to Woman:&lt;blockquote&gt;Chapter II – Mary, Mother of God<br /> <br /> Chapter III – Image and likeness of God: Woman in the Old Testament<br /> <br /> Chapter IV – Eve and Mary<br /> <br /> Chapter V – Jesus Christ: Woman in the New Testament<br /> <br /> Chapter VI: Maternity and virginity: two dimensions of the vocation of Woman. Maternity understood both physically and spiritually.<br /> <br /> Chapter VII: The Church, Bride of Christ.<br /> <br /> '''Chapter VII – &quot;The greatest is charity&quot;''': The Mission of Woman, facing changes. The dignity of Woman and the order of love.&lt;/blockquote&gt;The letter addresses the specific Mission of Woman: love as the greatest of Virtues:&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;This also explains the primacy of love expressed in Paul's words in the Letter to the Corinthians: &quot;The greatest is charity&quot; (cf. [https://aelf.org/1Co/13 1 Corinthians 13:13]).<br /> <br /> Without resorting to this order and primacy, it is not possible to give a complete and adequate answer to the question about the dignity of Woman and her vocation. When we say that Woman is the one who receives love to love in return, we do not only or mainly think of the specific nuptial relationship of marriage. We think of something more universal, founded on the very fact of being Woman in the entirety of interpersonal relationships that shape in very diverse ways conviviality and collaboration between persons, men and Women. In this broad and differentiated context, Woman presents a particular value as a human person and, at the same time, as a concrete person, by virtue of her femininity. '''This concerns all Women and each one of them''', regardless of the cultural context in which they find themselves, their spiritual, psychological, and physical characteristics, such as age, education, health, work, marital status, or singleness.&lt;ref&gt;Saint Thérèse of the Child Jesus defined herself thus: &quot;In the Heart of the Church, my mother, I would be love&quot;.&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;The rest of the text does not legislate on the &quot;place&quot; of Woman (who, besides her own Mission, is part of the Mission of the laity as otherwise defined), but ends with this declaration:&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;The moral strength of Woman, her spiritual strength, reaches the Awareness of the fact that '''God entrusts man, the human being, to her in a specific way.''''' Naturally, God entrusts every man to all and everyone. However, this concerns Woman in a specific way – precisely because of her femininity – and this especially determines her vocation&quot;.&lt;/blockquote&gt;The Apostolic Letter concludes with a hymn to Woman:&lt;blockquote&gt;'''Chapter IX : Conclusion: &quot;If you knew the gift of God&quot;'''<br /> <br /> [...]<br /> <br /> In the Marian Year, the Church desires to thank the Most Holy Trinity for the &quot;''mystery of Woman''&quot; and for every Woman, for what constitutes the eternal dimension of her feminine dignity, for the &quot;wonders of God&quot; which, in the history of human generations, have been accomplished in and through her. [...]<br /> <br /> Therefore, the Church gives thanks for all Women and for each of them: for mothers, for sisters, for wives; for Women consecrated to God in virginity; for Women devoted to so many human beings who await the gratuitous love of another person; for Women who watch over the human being in the Family, this fundamental sign of the human community; for Women who exercise a profession, those upon whom sometimes a great social responsibility rests; for &quot;valiant&quot; Women and for &quot;weak&quot; Women: for all, as they came forth from the Heart of God in all the beauty and richness of their femininity, as they have been surrounded by His eternal love; as with man they fulfill the Pilgrimage of this earth, the temporal &quot;Homeland&quot; of men, sometimes turned into a &quot;valley of tears&quot;; as they bear, with man, the shared responsibility of the destiny of humanity, following the daily necessities and the final destiny that the human family has in God, within the ineffable Trinity.<br /> <br /> The Church gives thanks for all manifestations of the feminine &quot;genius&quot; that have appeared throughout history, among all peoples and nations; [...]<br /> <br /> At the same time, the Church requests that these priceless &quot;manifestations of The Spirit&quot; (cf. [https://aelf.org/1Co/12 1 Corinthians 12:4 ff]), given with great generosity to the &quot;daughters&quot; of eternal [[Jerusalem]], be attentively recognized and appreciated, so that they contribute to the common Good of the Church and humanity, especially in our time. Meditating on the biblical mystery of &quot;Woman&quot;, the Church prays that all Women find themselves in this mystery, so that they may rediscover their &quot;supreme vocation&quot;.&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> == Notes and references ==<br /> [[Category:Themes]]<br /> [[fr:Femme]]</div>

<p>Emmanuel: Text replacement - &quot;The Gospel as It Was Revealed to Me&quot; to &quot;The Gospel as Revealed to Me&quot;</p> <hr /> <div>[[File:The Infallible (Pope Pius XII) – Sept. 1945.jpg|thumb|Pius XII in September 1945]]<br /> There has been speculation about the canonical value of the verbal encouragement given by Pius XII at the end of the audience he granted on February 26, 1948, to Fathers [[Le Father Corrado Berti and Maria Valtorta|Corrado Berti]], [[Father Romualdo Migliorini and Maria Valtorta|Romualdo Migliorini]], and [[Father Andrea Cecchin and Maria Valtorta|Andrea Cecchin]] after having received and read the typescript of Maria Valtorta's work.<br /> <br /> According to Father Berti, who noted the Pope’s words upon leaving the audience, he would have said: &lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;Publish the work as it is. There is no reason to give an opinion on its origin, whether extraordinary or not. Those who read it will understand.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;A [[Holy Office, Brief Notices, (02/02/1949)|report by the Holy Office]] (Mgr Giovanni Pepe) dated February 2, 1949, more briefly notes:&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;His Holiness very wisely ordered them to address an Ordinary&lt;ref&gt;An Ordinary refers to the bishop responsible for the action, here the imprimatur. According to the 1917 Canon Law code, it was the bishop of the place of residence of the author (Maria Valtorta), her publisher, or her printer.&lt;/ref&gt; to obtain the Imprimatur for the publication of the 'Words of Eternal Life' or 'Gospel of Jesus Christ' which was their interest&lt;ref&gt;A typically subjective formulation intended to influence the reader. A neutral formulation would have said: 'They requested an audience with the Holy Father, which they obtained on February 26, 1948, to ask for permission to print the volumes containing the &quot;dictations&quot; and &quot;visions&quot; of Maria Valtorta. The Pope invited them to address a diocesan bishop to obtain the necessary Imprimatur for the publication of the work, entitled &quot;Words of Eternal Life&quot; or &quot;Gospel of Jesus Christ.&quot;' &lt;/ref&gt;. And they went in search of this Ordinary.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;The words of the Sovereign Pontiff have been subject to contradictory interpretations regarding the deep intentions of the Holy Father, their exact wording, and their canonical value: did these words have the force of ecclesiastical law? Did they prevail over the opinion of the Holy Office hostile to the publication of these writings&lt;ref&gt;Indeed, according to the 1917 Code of Canon Law ([http://www.catho.org/9.php?d=bol#bf canons 218 and 219]), the Pope holds the final judgment concerning revelations. He is the ultimate authority of the Holy Office. The person directing the congregation is only his secretary. It was only in 1966 that Cardinal Ottaviani was appointed Prefect of the Holy Office, making it an independent Congregation from the Pope.&lt;/ref&gt;? Indeed, after the Pope's death (October 9, 1958), Maria Valtorta’s work was [[Inclusion in the Index of Prohibited Books|placed on the Index]] (December 16, 1959, published January 6, 1960).<br /> <br /> == Historical Analysis ==<br /> <br /> === The Will of the Holy Father and the Inclusion on the Index ===<br /> Some have claimed that Pius XII reversed his position on February 17, 1949, by approving decisions of the Holy Office&lt;ref&gt;ALEXIS MAILLARD - ''[http://jesusmarie.free.fr/valtorta.pdf Maria Valtorta. The Vatican File]'', 2025, p. 63.&lt;/ref&gt;, but this analysis is refuted on three grounds:<br /> *The Pope approved the decisions ''[[Holy Office, Summary of Decisions, (17/02/1949)#Value of this decision|with the express exception]]'' of the one that would have officially and publicly condemned Maria Valtorta’s work (point no. 2).<br /> *Subsequently (1952) the Holy Office commissioned a [[Holy Office, Second Opinion of Father Augustin Bea, (17/10/1952)|assessment report to Fr. Augustin Bea]]. An unnecessary initiative if Maria Valtorta’s work had indeed been condemned.<br /> *The first three volumes of Maria Valtorta’s work were published during Pius XII’s lifetime without reaction from the Holy Office, which waited until the Pope's death (October 9, 1958) to [[Inclusion in the Index of Prohibited Books|place Maria Valtorta’s writings on the Index]] (December 16, 1959, published January 6, 1960).<br /> The historical issue therefore is whether this final condemnation (now-abolished Index) was initiated by the repentant Pope or, as some Valtorta supporters argue, by the Holy Office of the time [[Holy Office - Attempted Destruction of Maria Valtorta’s Work (1949)|acting against]] papal will.<br /> <br /> === Reconstruction of the testimonies ===<br /> According to what Cardinal Édouard Gagnon reported in his 1992 correspondence with Father Kevin Robinson, the Holy Office states that &quot;Pius XII never gave an Imprimatur.&quot;<br /> <br /> This raises questions as the Holy Office, after Pius XII’s death, reconstructed the Maria Valtorta file: registered under number 355/45&lt;ref&gt;355th dossier of the year 1945 registered by the Holy Office. According to Alexis Maillard ([http://jesusmarie.free.fr/valtorta.pdf work], p.6), it is &quot;about fifteen centimeters thick&quot; and is accessible since the opening of Pius XII’s pontifical archives (2020).&lt;/ref&gt; under Pius XII, it was renumbered 144/58&lt;ref&gt;144th dossier registered by the Holy Office (which became the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith only in 1965) for the year 1958, the year of Pius XII’s death.&lt;/ref&gt; at his death.<br /> <br /> One conjectures about the reasons for this new numbering and its content. It is this ''new'' file that served for the placement on the Index (1959/1960)&lt;ref&gt;Perhaps this explains the unusual vagueness in dating the admonition by the Holy Office transcribed in the '''[[Osservatore Romano (01/06/1960)|Osservatore Romano]]''' of January 6, 1960. Instead of giving a precise date or reference, it uses a circumlocution invoking &quot;memories&quot;: &quot;These words recall memories from about ten years ago, when certain voluminous typescripts circulated, containing alleged [[Visions and Dictations of Maria Valtorta|visions]] and revelations. It is known that at that time the competent ecclesiastical authority had defended the printing of these typescripts and had ordered them to be withdrawn from circulation.&quot; This document would therefore have disappeared from the new file which apparently retains, according to what can be deduced, the critical reports of [[Holy Office, Opinion of Alberto Vaccari, (26/01/1949)|Alberto Vaccari]] and the last report of [[Holy Office, Second Opinion of Father Augustin Bea, (17/10/1952)|Cardinal Bea]].&lt;/ref&gt; and will be the documentary basis for Cardinal Ratzinger (1985). According to Father Berti’s testimony, he apparently had no record of Pius XII’s intervention since Father Marco Giraudo, whom he met in December 1960, [[Father Corrado Berti: sworn statement (1978)#10. The Holy Office authorizes the second edition|was unaware of it]]. It was upon learning of this verbal imprimatur that Father Giraudo deemed it prudent to grant a &quot;verbal&quot; lifting of the Index.<br /> <br /> The first file included, as of [[Holy Office, Summary of Decisions, (17/02/1949)#February 17, 1949: Pope Pius XII|February 17, 1949]], Pius XII’s refusal to publish a notification condemning Maria Valtorta’s work. This seems no longer to appear in the new file since the author of the article in the [[Osservatore Romano (01/06/1960)|''Osservatore Romano'' of January 6, 1960]] no longer finds the exact date and speaks of &quot;memories&quot;.<br /> <br /> === Canonicity of the Verbal Imprimatur According to Cardinal Édouard Gagnon ===<br /> [[Cardinal Édouard Gagnon and Maria Valtorta|Cardinal Édouard Gagnon]] (1918-2007), who studied this particular point, exchanged correspondence on the subject with a Canadian compatriot, Professor Léo A. Brodeur, particularly active in promoting and deepening the work of Maria Valtorta. At the time of this correspondence (1987), he was not in charge of these issues at the Vatican but was reputed as a specialist on book censorship, a topic on which he wrote a thesis in 1944 to obtain a doctorate in Canon Law&lt;ref&gt;ÉDOUARD GAGNON - ''Book Censorship: Historical and Legal Study of Canons Relating to Prior Censorship of Books&quot; -'' Québec, Laval University, 223 pages.&lt;/ref&gt;.<br /> <br /> In his response to Professor Brodeur, the cardinal did not retract but tempered: &quot;However, the kind of official Imprimatur granted by the Holy Father in 1948 before witnesses is abolished by the New Code.&quot; This is doubly incorrect:<br /> <br /> - No article of the 1983 Code of Canon Law states that previous decisions, especially papal ones, are abolished.<br /> <br /> - The new ''organization'', more decentralized, does not abolish the papal privilege in this matter. The 1983 code clarifies what the 1917 code condensed:<br /> <br /> * Canon [http://www.catho.org/9.php?d=bma#bfg 749] treats doctrinal infallibility: &quot;The Supreme Pontiff, by virtue of his office, enjoys infallibility in the magisterium when, as Pastor and Supreme Doctor of all the faithful to whom it belongs to confirm his brethren in faith, he proclaims by a definitive act a doctrine to be held regarding faith or morals.&quot;<br /> <br /> * Canons [http://www.catho.org/9.php?d=bl1#yg 331 to 333] state the primacy of jurisdiction (discipline, governance, legislation, etc.): &quot;he possesses in the Church, by virtue of his office, the ordinary, supreme, full, immediate, and universal power which he can always freely exercise.&quot;<br /> <br /> * Canon [http://www.catho.org/9.php?d=bmi#bzx 1404] guarantees his absolute juridical independence: &quot;The First See is judged by no one.&quot;<br /> <br /> Cardinal Édouard Gagnon gives an incomplete answer that suggests a new ''organization'' entails a new ''assignment''.<br /> <br /> All the evolution in legislation regarding private revelations has tended to decentralize judgment in this matter without removing the ultimate power of the pope. The ''new procedural norms for the Discernment of presumed supernatural phenomena'' reserve to the pope alone the right to exceptionally decree the supernatural origin of a phenomenon, with the dicastery and bishops only pronouncing on the authorization to adhere to it with human and prudent faith. Medjugorje (sometimes associated with the Maria Valtorta case) provides an example: rejected by the local episcopate, this apparition has obtained the highest degree of confidence that the Church can grant.<br /> <br /> == Current Value ==<br /> Cardinal Édouard Gagnon did not pass judgment on Maria Valtorta’s work, which he had not read, but referred with trust to what was being said about it, notably concerning the abolition of the Index, which officially retained the value of a moral warning. But a &quot;''warning'' to the ''mature conscience'' of the faithful&quot; does not indirectly maintain condemnation, which would be a subterfuge.<br /> <br /> === Value of the ''sensus fidelium'' regarding the abolition of the Index ===<br /> The ''[https://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/congregations/cfaith/documents/rc_con_cfaith_doc_19660614_de-indicis-libr-prohib_en.html Notification on the Suppression of the Index of Prohibited Books]'' explicitly states: &quot;the Index no longer has the force of ecclesiastical law with the attached censures.&quot; It can therefore no longer be maintained directly or indirectly. This does not mean that the Church leaves free reign to everything. The Notification specifies that it will intervene but in the spirit of the motu proprio ''[https://www.vatican.va/content/paul-vi/en/motu_proprio/documents/hf_p-vi_motu-proprio_19651207_integrae-servandae.html Integrae servandae]'', which replaced the Holy Office by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. This spirit aims to substitute &quot;pastors&quot; for &quot;censors&quot;&lt;ref&gt;&quot;But because perfect love ''casts out fear'' (1 John 4:18), the protection of the faith will be better assured by an office entrusted with promoting Doctrine, which will give new strength to the heralds of the Gospel, while correcting errors and gently bringing back those who have strayed. Moreover, the progress of human culture, whose importance for Religion must not be neglected, requires that the faithful follow more fully and with more love the directives of the Church if they see the good reason for definitions and laws, at least as far as possible in matters of faith and morals.&quot; ([https://www.vatican.va/content/paul-vi/en/motu_proprio/documents/hf_p-vi_motu-proprio_19651207_integrae-servandae.html ''Integrae servandae''])&lt;/ref&gt;.<br /> <br /> The Notification also introduces the &quot;Mature Conscience of the faithful,&quot; which legislation will formalize subsequently in the realm of private revelations&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/__PI.HTM CCC § 67]: &quot;''Guided'' by the Magisterium of the Church, the sense of the faithful ''knows how to discern'' and judge what in these revelations constitutes an authentic call of Christ or his saints to the Church&quot;. [https://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/congregations/cfaith/documents/rc_ddf_doc_20240517_norme-fenomeni-soprannaturali_en.html New procedural norms (2024)]: &quot;Most shrines, which are today privileged places of popular devotion of the People of God, have never known, during the course of the devotion expressed there, a declaration of the supernatural character of the facts that have prompted this devotion. The ''sensus fidelium'' felt that there was action of the Holy Spirit, and no major critical points have appeared that necessitated the intervention of the Pastors.&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;. The Index is now only a historical act ''warning'' to &quot;beware of writings that may endanger faith and good morals.&quot; It no longer retains its &quot;force of ecclesiastical law.&quot;<br /> <br /> Maria Valtorta was canonically placed on the Index for lack of Imprimatur. This obligation was abolished in 1975 for works like those of Maria Valtorta&lt;ref&gt;''[https://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/congregations/cfaith/documents/rc_con_cfaith_doc_19750319_ecclesiae-pastorum_en.html Decree Regarding the Vigilance of Pastors of the Church over Books].''&lt;/ref&gt;. The '''[[Osservatore Romano (01/06/1960)|Osservatore Romano]]''' only expressed an authoritative opinion which has since been challenged both by analysis and by the subsequent stances of competent authorities. That is why ''[[Father Giandomenico Mucci and Maria Valtorta|Civiltà cattolica]]'' could write to a reader on April 23, 1996:&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;Since it is clear that the books of [[Maria Valtorta]] not only do not constitute a danger to your [[Faith, conviction|faith]], but rather strengthen it, and that in this reading your [[Conscience]] is serene also because of the comfort of the authoritative testimonies you cited, it seems to me that you can continue your reading without yielding to doubts or scruples or, even less, to disagreements that some scholars express about the [[The Work Given to Maria Valtorta|work]] of Maria Valtorta.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> === Status Update on the Words of Authority (2025)===<br /> [[File:5 luglio 2013 - incontro tra Papa Francesco e Papa Benedetto XVI - inaugurazione statua San Michele Arcangelo -.jpg|thumb|Pope Francis and Benedict XVI, July 5, 2013]]<br /> A certain trend of opinion believed it recognized in the [[Statement of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith on Maria Valtorta of 22 February 2025|statement of the Dicastery on February 22, 2025]] the epilogue of a radical Vatican opposition manifested 65 years earlier with the [[Inclusion in the Index of Prohibited Books|placing on the Index]]. Maria Valtorta’s writings would not be of supernatural origin and would even be harmful or dangerous.<br /> <br /> But such a condemnation could not be tied to the new norms&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot; /&gt; issued in 2024 (which would make it ecclesiastical law), in fact:<br /> <br /> * The [https://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/congregations/cfaith/documents/rc_ddf_doc_20250222_comunicato-scritti-valtorta_en.html judgement of the Dicastery] concerns not the work but the manner of considering it&lt;ref&gt;&quot;They ''cannot be considered'' of supernatural origin, but ''must be considered as'' literary forms the author used to recount, in her own way, the life of Jesus Christ.&quot; This wording is often adopted by the Catholic Church when it has not definitively ruled on the supernatural authenticity of a private revelation but invites the faithful to prudence. It would have been different if the wording had been: &quot;''Are not'' of supernatural origin, but ''are'' literary forms that the author used to tell, in her own way, the life of Jesus Christ.&quot; In that case, it would have been a more radical position, categorically rejecting any supernatural origin.&lt;/ref&gt;.<br /> <br /> *Non-supernatural origin would lead to prohibition both de jure and de facto, which is not indicated here.<br /> <br /> *It would be motivated by serious and proven facts of deception and falsification&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot;&gt;''[https://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/congregations/cfaith/documents/rc_ddf_doc_20240517_norme-fenomeni-soprannaturali_en.html Procedural Norms for the Discernment of Presumed Supernatural Phenomena]'' (May 17, 2024): &quot;This decision must be based on concrete and verified facts and evidence.

Which is not the case.<br /> <br /> *It would be stamped with the official mention &quot;constat de non surnaturalitate,&quot; totally absent.<br /> <br /> *It would refer to conclusions of the Ordinary of the place (Archbishop of Lucca in this case), nonexistent and not mentioned.<br /> <br /> And especially, such an interpretation would accuse Pope Francis and the Archbishop of Lucca of endorsing and encouraging such a harmful work, worthy of the most degrading official assessments.<br /> <br /> Indeed, [[Pope Francis and Maria Valtorta|Pope Francis]], in his letter dated February 24, 2024, addressed to the President of the Maria Valtorta Foundation (Viareggio), &quot;[encourages] [him/her] to continue with as much commitment [his/her] mission of making known the life of Maria Valtorta and her literary work, particularly all that it can offer for the good of the Church and society. Forward!&quot;<br /> <br /> The Archbishop of Lucca in his [[Mgr Paolo Giulietti and the Work of Maria Valtorta: Collection of Pastorals|five pastorals]] (2021-2023) permits the reading of the work and encourages further in-depth examination.<br /> <br /> Such a hypothesis, which would touch two pillars of the Church, seems astonishing to many. Yet it echoes an attitude once held by the Holy Office pointing out the naivety of the &quot;illustrious personalities (whose unquestionable good faith was surprised) who supported publication.&quot; The formula is sufficiently ambiguous not to know if this reproach was aimed at the deceased Pope who [[Pius XII and Maria Valtorta#The Papal Audience|had also encouraged]] the dissemination of this popular work.<br /> <br /> === The Conditional Imprimatur ===<br /> Four times ecclesiastical authorities have ruled on Maria Valtorta’s writings.<br /> <br /> *In 1992: The [[The conditional Imprimatur of the Italian Episcopal Conference|Secretary of the Italian Episcopal Conference]] issued, in a friendly tone, a pastoral reading advice later embraced, 33 years later (2025), by the Dicastery: The Visions and Dictations of Maria Valtorta &quot;cannot be considered of supernatural origin but must be perceived simply as literary forms used by the Author to tell, her way, the life of Jesus.&quot; This formulation reflects the unchanged position of the Church to date.<br /> <br /> *In 1993, Bishop Raymond J. Boland of Birmingham, Alabama, replying to Mr. Terry Colafrancesco who inquired about the Church's position, stated that it was Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger who had asked the Italian bishops' conference to write this letter to the Italian publisher. While any edition had been prohibited by the placement on the Index (1959/1960), and then was discouraged (Cardinal J. Ratzinger, 1985), this reissue was no longer proscribed but conditioned by how it was apprehended (conditional imprimatur). Nothing now opposes its dissemination except the use that might be made of it (substitution for the canonical Gospel&lt;ref&gt;&quot;The work delivered to men by the little John (nickname given by Jesus to Maria Valtorta) ''is not a canonical book''. Nonetheless, ''it is an inspired book'' that I grant you to help understand certain passages of the canonical books,&quot; (''[https://www.maria-valtorta.org/Quaderni/470128.htm#EMV The Notebooks from 1945 to 1950]'', January 28, 1947, p. 317).&lt;/ref&gt;). The original letter from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith was dated April 17, 1993, and bore reference 144/58. Professor Brodeur interprets this as a &quot;reversal&quot;&lt;ref&gt;LÉO A. BRODEUR: ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20230528151202/http://www.bardstown.com/~brchrys/Chrchval.html#Appendix%20II The Church and Maria Valtorta's The Poem of Man-God]''.&lt;/ref&gt; of Cardinal J. Ratzinger’s position.<br /> <br /> *The [[Brief Warning from the French Episcopal Doctrinal Commission|doctrinal commission of the French episcopal conference]]. In 2021, it &quot;warns&quot; to beware of the &quot;unrecognized&quot; work and in some regards ostracizes its readership.<br /> <br /> *And finally, the [[Statement of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith on Maria Valtorta of 22 February 2025|Dicastery]], which reprises Cardinal J. Ratzinger’s position echoed by the Italian episcopal conference. It is careful to show why the insistent request for &quot;recognition&quot; is canonically inadmissible. Maria Valtorta’s work is not part of the official canon of Scripture (it is &quot;apocryphal&quot;), which Jesus himself had declared to Maria Valtorta.<br /> <br /> In all four cases, the intervention was motivated by the influx of requests. The readership movement is now perceptible on the universal Church scale. This sign of the work’s durability and popularity is directed towards the Catholic Church and is therefore not schismatic.<br /> <br /> === The Prudential Reading with Human Faith ===<br /> In his theological commentary on the Fatima secret (2000)&lt;ref&gt;CARDINAL JOSEF RATZINGER: &quot;Cardinal Prospero Lambertini, future Pope Benedict XIV, said on this subject [private revelations] in his classic treatise, later normative for beatifications and canonizations: 'A Catholic assent of faith is not due to revelations approved in this way; it is not even possible. ''These revelations rather require an assent of human faith according to the rules of prudence'', which present them to us as probable and credible in a spirit of piety&quot; (''[https://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/congregations/cfaith/documents/rc_con_cfaith_doc_20000626_message-fatima_en.html The Message of Fatima]'', Theological Commentary, Public Revelation and Private Revelations - their theological place §2). &lt;/ref&gt; and later in his post-synodal exhortation (2010)&lt;ref&gt;BENEDICT XVI: &quot;Ecclesiastical approval of a private revelation essentially indicates that the related message contains nothing opposed to faith and good morals. It ''may be made public,'' and the faithful are authorized to ''adhere to it prudently''.&quot; (''[https://www.vatican.va/content/benedict-xvi/en/apost_exhortations/documents/hf_ben-xvi_exh_20100930_verbum-domini.html Verbum Domini]'', Eschatological dimension of the Word of God §14 second part).&lt;/ref&gt;, Benedict XVI (Ratzinger) recalls that the Church never ''gives'' &quot;the assent of faith&quot; to private revelations; it only declares that they may be published (imprimatur) and that they contain nothing contrary to faith or morals (Nihil obstat). Consequently, it is licit to accept them &quot;with prudence.&quot; It is by this standard that the &quot;prudential reading&quot; of human faith is to be understood as requested of Maria Valtorta’s readers. A requirement difficult to understand for those who legitimately and experientially think that this work is divinely inspired&lt;ref&gt;In a dictation on January 28, 1947, Jesus specifies the nature of the work entrusted to Maria Valtorta: &quot;The work delivered to men through the little John [=Maria Valtorta] is not a canonical book. Nevertheless, it is an inspired book that I grant you to help understand certain passages of the canonical books [...]&quot; (''[[Notebooks from 1945 to 1950|The Notebooks from 1945 to 1950,]]'' CEV, p. 330). This passage unambiguously establishes that ''The Gospel as Revealed to Me'' is not presented as a new gospel but as an inspired work intended to illuminate the already given Revelation and to promote a living knowledge of Christ.&lt;/ref&gt; and proclaim it at all times and against all odds.<br /> <br /> ==Notes and references==<br /> [[Category:Authenticity of the Work]]<br /> [[fr:Imprimatur verbal de Pie XII et sa valeur canonique]]</div>

I meant the different otherworldly places where the deceased were generally held and called 'hell' in opposition to paradise, where God dwells. When, in my overabundant joy after the [[Sacrifice, Blood of Christ|Sacrifice]] was consummated, I was able to open The Limbo to the righteous and draw from purgatory a multitude of Souls, I shuddered in horror contemplating in spirit that only the place of [[Damned, damnation, condemnation|damnation]] knew neither [[Redemption, Salvation, Redeemer|redemption]] nor transformation of horror. But I did not enter it. It was neither right nor [[Useful, USaltess|useful]] to do so. Are you surprised I could bring a multitude of Souls out of purgatory?

I, who am [[Priest, Pastor, Spiritual Guide|Priest]] and Victim, applied to them my merits and my Blood, and that whitened the stoles not yet fully purified by the white Fire of purifying charity.'

The first was unfitting because of the dignity of all that comes from God, the second because of God's justice. The righteous had to have a reward. Which one, if not paradise? But they could not enter paradise with souls wounded by original sin that no purgatory can erase. It follows that it was necessary to erase this sin. Therefore, a God had to restore the order and make it even better so that henceforth, Purification from sin would come not only from an inheritance as would have been that of men descended from a faithful Adam and Eve, but from the sacrifice of a God-Man, from His infinite merits and His teaching which, if Homelier by Souls of goodwill, communicates to them the capacity to imitate the Son of God in His works and in His Virtues.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.maria-valtorta.org/Azarias/Azarias37.htm#SacrificeDivin ''Book of Azarias'', Feast of Christ the King, p. 273]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> === Lessons on Saint Paul’s Epistle to the Romans ===<br /> <br /> *'''Lessons on Saint Paul’s Epistle to the Romans, Lesson No. 9''': &quot;The virtue of these Gentiles, their spontaneous obedience to the law of virtue, will have baptized them without other Baptism; it will have consecrated them without other chrism than the infinite merits of the Savior. The Limbo will no longer be the dwelling of these righteous waiting. Just as on Good Friday evening the righteous left The Limbo, because the Blood shed by Jesus Redeemer purified them from their original stain (Cf. Genesis, chapter 3 - Romans 5:12-21), so at the evening of Time, when the merits of Christ have triumphed over all His Enemies, the righteous, who by firm conviction of being in the true Religion belonged to a non-Catholic group, will be absolved and justified by Him. They will receive the reward for the Virtues practiced on earth. If this were not so, God would have deceived these righteous who gave themselves a law of justice and defended justice and virtue. But God never deceives. His reward, even if sometimes it is delayed, is always certain.&quot; &lt;ref&gt;[https://www.maria-valtorta.org/Epitre/Epitre09.htm#Gentils ''Lessons on Saint Paul’s Epistle to the Romans'', Lesson No. 9].&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> *'''Lessons on Saint Paul’s Epistle to the Romans, Lesson No. 24''': &quot;The day will come, at the Last Judgment, when Purgatory will be abolished and its occupants will pass to the Kingdom of God.

But how long will be their path of exile after their earthly life! How long also for those who, although Catholics, do the bare minimum to keep the flame of their love lit, content with barely doing what is necessary not to die in a state of mortal sin! What a difference between the latter, — saved more than by their merits, by the infinite merits of the Savior, by the intercession of Mary, by the treasures of the communion of Saints, the prayers and sacrifices of the righteous — and those who wanted glory not by selfishness, but by love of God!&quot;&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.maria-valtorta.org/Epitre/Epitre24.htm#Purgatoire Lessons on Saint Paul’s Epistle to the Romans, Lesson No. 24]&lt;/ref&gt; <br /> <br /> *'''Lessons on Saint Paul’s Epistle to the Romans, Lesson No. 46''': &quot;Adam is an emblematic figure of what happens when one falls into rejection by God.

This notion ended up eclipsing the rest of Limbo. For a long time, they made part of official Catholic teaching. According to the catechism of Saint Pius X, to the question &quot;''Where do children who die without Baptism go?''&quot; the answer was:&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;Children who die without Baptism go to limbo, where there is neither supernatural reward nor pain; since they have original sin and only that, they do not merit paradise, but neither do they merit hell or Purgatory.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;''[http://www.liberius.net/livres/Catechisme_de_la_Doctrine_chretienne_000000426.pdf Catechism of Christian Doctrine]'', 1913, question 100.&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;The ''Catechism of the Catholic Church'' of 1992 virtually no longer addresses the question of Limbo. In 2007, the International Theological Commission distanced itself from the ancient belief about the abode of children who die without Baptism, while recognizing that the Limbo of infants &quot;''remains a possible theological opinion''.&lt;ref&gt;International Theological Commission: ''[https://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/congregations/cfaith/cti_documents/rc_con_cfaith_doc_20070419_un-baptised-infants_fr.html The hope of salvation for children who die without Baptism]'', April 19, 2007.&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Concerning the ''limbo of the righteous'', Saint Frances of Rome affirmed that it remained after being emptied of its occupants by Redemption. This is confirmed by Maria Valtorta. She affirms indeed the existence of Limbo ''until the end of times'' and does not reserve them specifically to children who died without Baptism. The Limbo hosts the righteous of other Religions: &quot;those who follow justice to honor the God of their faith, and to approach Him, as they know Him, with all their strength.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.maria-valtorta.org/Epitre/Epitre24.htm#Purgatoire Lessons on Saint Paul’s Epistle to the Romans, Lesson No. 24]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> The Limbo are distinct from [[Purgatory|Purgatory]].

The selection of texts, as well as the explanatory notes, were done by Valérie Arroyo for the entire collection, assisted by Vincent Julien for the first volume.<br /> <br /> Valérie Arroyo, born in 1960, was trained at the Cathedral School of Paris&lt;ref&gt;Known as the Collège des Bernardins, it is the theological faculty of the Diocese of Paris. It hosts about 3,000 students annually, clerics or laypeople.&lt;/ref&gt; and in Spiritual Discernment. She taught biblical courses in parish and now does catechesis.<br /> <br /> === Genesis of the project ===<br /> In 2015, the publisher Maria Valtorta France (EMVF) asked her to adapt ''[[The Gospel as Revealed to Me|The Gospel as Revealed to Me]]'' for teenagers, which she undertook by adapting Maria Valtorta's monumental work for this audience. The 33-volume collection required 10 years of adaptation.<br /> <br /> === Content ===<br /> This transcription is faithful to the original work translated into French. It includes the authentic dialogues, without the long descriptions. Numerous added notes help readers find the canonical Gospels and the spiritual heritage of the Church. Indeed, they provide details about the biblical references mentioned in the Work, articles of the Catechism of the Catholic Church involved, the various characters encountered, and places of Palestine traveled by Jesus and his Apostles...). The chapters &quot;To go deeper&quot; inserted at the end of each volume are intended to deepen points of Doctrine or Jesus' teachings on different spiritual themes. Finally, the title highlights a striking theme of each volume.<br /> <br /> === Preface to the collection of thirty-three volumes ===<br /> This text presents the nature and interest of the collection by giving the floor directly to Jesus, giving his instructions to Maria Valtorta whom He briefly presents.&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;Maria Valtorta (1897-1961), a suffering mystic soul, lived the privilege, for nearly ten years of her life, of contemplating in visions scenes of the life of Jesus. Jesus Himself opened up to her to explain this particular charism that the Lord allowed:<br /> <br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;I intend to alternate your contemplations including the explanations I give you afterward, with actual 'dictations', to elevate your soul by granting you the beatitude of vision, and also because it highlights the difference in style between your text and mine. Moreover, faced with so many books that speak about Me and that, edit after edit, change after change, embellishment after embellishment, have become unreal, I wish to give those who believe in Me a vision brought back to the truth of My stay on earth. I do not come out diminished, but on the contrary greater in my humility which for you becomes bread, to teach you to be humble and to resemble Me, who was a man like you and who bore under my human aspect the perfection of a God&lt;ref&gt;''[[The Gospel as Revealed to Me - Volume 1|The Gospel as Revealed to Me, Volume 1]]'', EMV 44, pp. 299/300&lt;/ref&gt;.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> Jesus even specifies to Maria Valtorta His intentions through these writings:<br /> <br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;Do you know, Maria, what you are doing? Or rather what I am doing by revealing the Gospel to you? It is a stronger attempt to bring men to Me. You desired it with your ardent prayers. I no longer limit Myself to the word. It tires them and drives them away. It is a sin, but it is so...<br /> I resort to vision, to the vision of My Gospel and I explain it to make it clearer and more appealing.<br /> <br /> To you, I give the comfort of vision. To all, I give the means to desire to know Me. And if once again it is of no use, if, like cruel children, they reject the gift without understanding its value, my gift will remain to you and my indignation will be theirs. I could, once again, make this old reproach to them: ‘We played the flute, and you did not dance. We sang lamentations, and you did not weep&lt;ref&gt;See [https://bible.usccb.org/bible/matthew/11 Matthew 11:17] or [https://bible.usccb.org/bible/luke/7 Luke 7:32].&lt;/ref&gt;.' But never mind. Let the 'unconvertible' accumulate burning coals on their heads and let us turn to the sheep who seek to know the Shepherd. The Shepherd is Me and you are the staff that leads them to Me&lt;ref&gt;''[[The Gospel as Revealed to Me - Volume 1|The Gospel as Revealed to Me, Volume 1]]'', EMV 45, p. 309.&lt;/ref&gt;.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> === Editorial stance ===<br /> It is the knowledge of the young audience that led Valérie Arroyo and the publisher to define this &quot;simplification&quot;. But it also reaches a broader audience sometimes puzzled by the many details contained in the visions. They are useful in creating the conditions of an immersive experience and in justifying the authenticity of the vision, but they surprise some.<br /> <br /> == Collection summary ==<br /> {|

<p>Emmanuel: Text replacement - &quot;The Gospel as It Was Revealed to Me&quot; to &quot;The Gospel as Revealed to Me&quot;</p> <hr /> <div>{{See also|See also:|Soul|Holy Spirit, Paraclete, Spirit}}<br /> In the spiritual writings of [[Maria Valtorta]], The Spirit (with a lowercase) acts as the third component of Man. The description of [[Man is Body, Soul, and Spirit|Man in three parts]]: [[Flesh, meaning|body]], [[Soul]] and spirit, is not new. [[Saul (Paul) the Apostle|Saint Paul]] already briefly affirmed it in his first letter to the Thessalonians: &quot;May the [[God]] of [[Peace]] himself sanctify you entirely, and may ''all that is within you, The Spirit, the Soul, and the body,'' be kept blameless until the day of the coming of our Lord [[Jesus]]-[[Christ, Messiah, Christianity, Parousia|Christ]]!&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot;&gt;[https://bible.usccb.org/bible/1thessalonians/5 1 Thessalonians 5:23]&lt;/ref&gt; The Letter to the Hebrews discusses the division between the Soul and The Spirit.&lt;ref&gt;[https://bible.usccb.org/bible/hebrews/4 Letter to the Hebrews 4:12]&lt;/ref&gt; The ''[[Teaching, Catechism|Catechism]] of the Catholic Church'' mentions it without dwelling on it.&lt;ref&gt;''[https://www.vatican.va/archive/FRA0013/__P1C.HTM Catechism of the Catholic Church]'', § 365.&lt;/ref&gt; But Maria Valtorta identifies it very clearly: &quot;In the body, there is the Soul and in the Soul there is the spirit.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;[[Autobiography]], page 352.&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> This assertion is repeated three times in all these writings. Each time the affirmation is presented under a different authority, but twice it is related to the [[Assumption and Dormition of the Virgin Mary|Assumption]]:<br /> <br /> *In 1943, the above affirmation is a statement by Maria Valtorta in her ''[[Autobiography]].''<br /> *On May 1, 1946, it is a comment by [[Jesus]] regarding the Assumption.&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.maria-valtorta.org/Publication/TOME%2010/10-037.htm#CEV65117 EMV 651.17]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> *On May 1, 1948&lt;ref name=&quot;:1&quot;&gt;[[Notebooks from 1945 to 1950|The Notebooks from 1945 to 1950]], May 1, 1948, page 475.&lt;/ref&gt;, Maria Valtorta attributes them to an explanation by [[Book of Azarias|Azarias]], her [[Angels|guardian angel]] while she [[Meditation, contemplation, prayer|meditates]] on the fourth [[Glory, To Glorify|glorious]] mystery of the [[Rosary]], the very one dedicated to the Assumption.&lt;ref name=&quot;:2&quot;&gt;I received this explanation from my guardian angel because, while reciting the Rosary, I was meditating on the fourth glorious mystery (the Assumption of Mary), and thus on the words of Mary from April 12 (1948) and on those of the Holy Spirit from February 2 (1948).&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> This is a constant in her work. She thus receives approximately the same commentary three times, but each time the explanation seems new to her and does not refer, for example, to [[Visions and Dictations of Maria Valtorta|the dictation]] of [[Jesus]] she received three years earlier since she writes: &quot;My [[Angels|guardian angel]] explains to me … He tells me that … To help me understand better, he points out that …&quot; This seems to confirm that she is only a faithful transcriber who does not explore the content of her [[Visions and Dictations of Maria Valtorta|visions]] or dictations at the moment.<br /> <br /> ===The Spirit According to Maria Valtorta===<br /> Each time [[Maria Valtorta]] uses the word ''spirito'' in a clearly [[Spirituality, Spirit|spiritual]] sense that is not quite so clearly rendered in French, where the word esprit has a broader meaning. For instance, this is evident in the way the maxim &quot;You shall [[Love, Charity, To Love|love]] the Lord your [[God]] with all your [[Heart]], with all your [[Soul]] and with all your spirit&quot; is translated. The Vulgate uses the Latin word ''mente''. This is the same word in Italian, and it designates the intellect. However, that same word is translated into French once as ''esprit'' in &lt;ref&gt;[https://bible.usccb.org/bible/matthew/22 Matthew 22:37]&lt;/ref&gt;-&lt;ref&gt;[https://bible.usccb.org/bible/mark/12 Mark 12:30]&lt;/ref&gt;, and another time as ''intelligence'' in &lt;ref&gt;[https://bible.usccb.org/bible/luke/10 Luke 10:27]&lt;/ref&gt;, which would be closer.<br /> <br /> Thus Man is [[Flesh, meaning|body]] (or [[Flesh, meaning|flesh]], matter, sensuality, etc.), [[Soul]] (or intelligence, thought, morals, [[Heart]], etc.), and spirit (or spiritual Soul, spiritual essence, etc.). These three parts are interwoven: within the body, there is the Soul infused by God, which itself contains the spirit. In&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.maria-valtorta.org/Publication/TOME%2010/10-037.htm#CEV65117 EMV 651.17]&lt;/ref&gt;, [[Jesus]] even defines this spirit as the most excellent part of the Soul (''la sua parte migliore'') and Maria Valtorta defines it as the place of &quot;[[Beatitudes, Blessed|superspiritual bliss]].&quot;&lt;ref&gt;''Autobiography'', p. 393.&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> In the article on the [[Man is Body, Soul, and Spirit|tripartition of Man]], it was said that:<br /> <br /> *The Soul is inseparable from the body. Their separation leads to [[Agony, Death|earthly death]].<br /> *The escape of The Spirit causes [[Ecstasy]] (rapture).<br /> *The immortal Soul without its spiritual life (following a [[Sin, Fault, Blasphemy|mortal sin]], for example) is a [[Man is Body, Soul, and Spirit#L'Soul morte|dead Soul]].<br /> <br /> This is explained on May 1, 1946, to Maria Valtorta by Jesus, commenting on the vision of the Assumption: &lt;blockquote&gt;There is a difference between the separation of the Soul from the body for a true death, and the momentary separation of the spirit from the body and from the Soul that vivifies it by Ecstasy or contemplative rapture.<br /> <br /> Whereas the separation of the Soul from the body causes true death, ecstatic contemplation, that is the temporary escape of the spirit beyond the barriers of the senses and matter, does not cause death. And this is because the Soul does not detach and separate completely from the body, but only its most excellent part, which immerses in the fires of contemplation.<br /> <br /> All men, as long as they are alive, have within them either a dead Soul due to sin or a living Soul by [[Justice (Divine, Human)|justice]], but only those who greatly love God reach true contemplation.<br /> <br /> This suggests that the Soul, which preserves existence as long as it is united with the body—and this peculiarity is the same in all men—possesses within itself ''a more excellent part'': the Soul of the Soul, or the spirit of the spirit, which in the [[Believers, Beliefs, Faithful, Righteous|just]] are very strong, whereas in those who have ceased to love God and His [[Law, Rules, Discipline|Law]], even by lukewarmness or venial sins, they become weak, depriving the [[Creation, creatures, Genesis|creature]] of the capacity to contemplate and to [[Knowledge, Foresight, Thought, Revelations, Exegesis|know]], as much as a human creature can, according to the degree of [[Perfect, Perfection|perfection]] attained, God and His eternal truths.<br /> <br /> The more the creature loves God and serves Him with all its strength and possibilities, the more the most excellent part of the spirit increases its capacity to know, to contemplate, to penetrate eternal truths.<br /> <br /> Man, endowed with a rational Soul, is a capacity that God fills with Himself. (Commentary of May 1, 1946, inserted in&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.maria-valtorta.org/Publication/TOME%2010/10-037.htm#CEV65117 EMV 651.17]&lt;/ref&gt;).&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> ==The Doors of Mysticism==<br /> <br /> ===Mysticism Between Success and Rejection===<br /> At the turn of the 20th century, the Catholic Church was confronted with intellectual and social upheavals (rationalism, industrial revolution, secularization, ...). On October 13, 1884, Leo XIII witnessed a dialogue between God and Satan. The devil boasts of destroying the Church given extra time and power. God grants him a period of one hundred years. The pope then sees the century &quot;wrapped in Darkness and the abyss&quot;, then a legion of demons scattered throughout the world until Saint Michael the Archangel casts them into the abyss.&lt;ref&gt;Françoise Breynaert, ''[https://www.mariedeNazareth.com/encyclopedie-mariale/la-vierge-marie-remplit-le-monde-sanctuaires-marials/europe/portugal/notre-dame-de-fatima-ou-n-d-du-Rosary/de-leon-xiii13-octobre-1884-a-fatima-13-octobre-1917 From Leo XIII, October 13, 1884, to Fatima, October 13, 1917]'', Marian Encyclopedia, Mary of Nazareth&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Simultaneously, &quot;ascetic and mystical&quot; movements developed marked by a return to intense spirituality, centered on union with God and often associated with mystical experiences. Great figures presented themselves as [[Co-redeemer, Victim Soul, Reparative Soul, Host, Victimal Gift|Victim Souls]]. This is the case of St. Thérèse of Lisieux, who inspired Maria Valtorta's mystical path. She even faced making a &quot;crusade of Victim Souls&quot;&lt;ref&gt;''Autobiography'', pp.368-369.&lt;/ref&gt;&quot; against the dangers emerging in the 1930s throughout the world and particularly in Italy.<br /> <br /> However, this ascetic and mystical movement was considered suspect by some religious authorities, especially from the 1950s/60s on. Padre Pio was a victim, as were others, and the Holy Office even suspended the beatification process of Yvonne-Aimée de Malestroit on the grounds that, in her case, there were ''too many'' supernatural manifestations.<br /> <br /> This rejection of mysticism still persists in some circles. Theories have emerged denying the supernatural character of [[Miracles, wonders and signs|Jesus' miracles]] and reducing them to mere &quot;signs&quot;. The same movements relegate episodes of the Gospel to the level of symbolic stories devoid of historical foundation (for example, the Magi).<br /> <br /> The work of Maria Valtorta demonstrates quite the opposite: that the &quot;supernatural&quot; and the &quot;natural&quot; are intimately intertwined in both the narration of the Gospels and spirituality. Here are some of the most representative examples:<br /> <br /> ===1. The spirit is the &quot;tent&quot; of our encounter with God===<br /> <br /> According to Maria Valtorta, this spirit, located in the Heart of the Soul, is the dwelling of God in us:&lt;blockquote&gt;The spirit belongs to the Eternal. ''It is the house where the Master of the house dwells,'' the King, where the holy Triad meets because wherever the Son is, so is the Father, who sent His Son out of Love. And this house will be their home as long as we, with our ill will, do not drive them out by our sins.&lt;ref&gt;[[Autobiography|''Autobiography'']]', p. 441.&lt;/ref&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;[[Saul (Paul) the Apostle|Saint Paul]] attests to this Presence of God in us: &quot;You are not under the power of the flesh, but under the Spirit, since the Spirit of God dwells in you.&lt;ref&gt;[https://bible.usccb.org/bible/romans/8 Romans 8:9]&lt;/ref&gt; And Jesus, in his encounter with [[Photinai the Samaritan woman|the Samaritan woman]] attests that it is a sacred place: &quot;God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship ''in spirit (spiritus)'' and truth.&lt;ref&gt;[https://bible.usccb.org/bible/john/4 John 4:24]. In the [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ioannes%204&amp;version=VULGATE Vulgate]: &quot;Spiritus est Deus et eos qui aDorant eum ''in spiritu'' et veritate oportet aDorare.&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Since the spirit is &quot;the house where the Master of the house dwells,&quot; one can suppose that this is where the unions spoken of by several great mystics occur, foremost among them Saint John of the Cross (1542-1591).&lt;ref&gt;St John of the Cross, doctor of the Church, speaks of the mystical union with God (&quot;nuptial union&quot;), the culmination of a path of Purification, in &quot;''[https://livres-mystiques.com/partieTEXTES/JdelaCroix/le_cantique_spirituel.pdf The Spiritual Canticle]''&quot; (&quot;The Spirit is raised to unite with the divine Spirit who comes to it; thus the Soul must necessarily abandon its body in some way&quot;, p.40) and in &quot;''[https://livres-mystiques.com/partieTEXTES/JdelaCroix/la_vive_flamme_d_amour.pdf The Living Flame of Love]''&quot; (Thus it is how spiritual acts are accomplished [...] as for the other acts the Soul produces by itself, they rather deserve the name of dispositions, desires or affections that succeed one another but never become perfect acts of love or contemplation, except sometimes, I repeat, when God himself forms and quickly perfects them in The Spirit..&quot;, p. 16).&lt;/ref&gt; Even if these mystics generally speak of &quot;Soul&quot; or &quot;Heart.&quot;<br /> <br /> Maria Valtorta had several moments of mystical union with God. Sometimes it was illuminative encounters as described in her ''[[Autobiography]]'' :&lt;blockquote&gt;At the moment when our spirit unites with God, Peace flows wholly into us from the eternal lakes, it enlightens us with the splendors of God and makes us capable of seeing, it opens the ''spirit'' and makes us capable of understanding, it expands our Heart and makes us able to love, it gives us strength and makes us able to resist, in a word, it gives itself to us wholly.''&lt;ref&gt;[[Autobiography|''Autobiography'']], p. 525.&lt;/ref&gt;''&lt;/blockquote&gt;But it was also for her the fusion in the ardent Heart of Jesus, similar to what Marguerite-Marie Alacoque (1647-1690)&lt;ref&gt;This vision is reported in ''[https://www.maria-valtorta.org/Quaderni/440602.htm#VisionAlacoque The Notebooks of 1944],'' June 2, pp.336-338.&lt;/ref&gt; and many other mystics report. On the night of March 12-13, 1947 (she would turn 50 on the 14th), Maria was seized by nostalgia, feeling the end of visions approaching. Jesus then appeared to her in her room and pressed her to His Heart, making her participate in His wound from which flames radiate. She drank of it with delight. Jesus then commented: &lt;blockquote&gt;This is how every Fire, even that of purgatory, differs from my Fire. For mine is a fire of perfect love, and it does no harm, not even to do Good. This is the Fire I reserve for you, and only this one. This is what my love for you is: It is Fire which comforts and does not burn, light, harmony, a gentle caress. And this is what my blood is for you: gentleness and strength. And finally this is what I do for you, to compensate you for men: I squeeze my blood so that it springs for you, as a mother does from her milk for her newborn, you, my daughter! This is how I love you!&lt;ref&gt;Reported in [[Notebooks from 1945 to 1950|''The Notebooks from 1945 to 1950'']], dated March 16, 1947, p. 370.&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;These words and this vision repeat, notes [[Maria Valtorta]], and Jesus makes this promise: &quot;This is how we will love each other in the Future. This is what I will give you as a reward for your faithful service. It is your Future as long as you live on earth. Then will come the perfect union (p. 370).&quot; A few days later Jesus confirms this promise to her. It is March 14, 1947, her fiftieth birthday: &quot;From now on, you will only contemplate. And all will be bWater. Be happy, very happy! I love you so much! And you love me so much! Our two loves...! Heaven that already receives you! (p. 371)&quot;''<br /> <br /> These passages certainly give meaning to the prostration that she experienced [[Maria Valtorta#End of life|at the end of her life]]. But these scenes are described in their reality and not as an inner vision. Maria speaks at this moment of &quot;Ecstasy&quot; and, if we remember well the explanation given by Jesus, this &quot;spiritual rapture&quot; is indeed the ''detachment of the spirit'' in contemplation. According to what Maria Valtorta says, this rapture of the spirit is preceded by an announcing joy which is at the same time Peace of the Soul: &lt;blockquote&gt;We do not know when the encounter will occur, but we know it will take place. It is thus with great joy deep in the Heart that all the small material tasks of the day are accomplished, writing, working, reading, talking with visitors, eating... but the body doing all this seems to be a borrowed body, so foreign are our moral and spiritual selves, kneeling beneath the ever-stronger waves of love that overwhelm us, to the action of the body. How distant everything that is sensible! On the other hand, the supersensible is upon us, it surrounds us, we drown in it.<br /> <br /> Sweet shipwreck that is not death, but a Vitality which receives its power from superhuman forces, a virility – forgive me for borrowing this vocabulary, I who am a Woman – a virility of the spirit that reaches, at these moments, a wise maturity, an increase of spirituality and capacity to love, and of joy, oh! of so much joy!<br /> <br /> I experienced all this yesterday for Hours. Then, suddenly, I passed from the “Call” to the “encounter” with the supernatural. And that supernatural was once again Mary, my Virgin of Fatima.&lt;ref&gt;[[The Notebooks|''The Notebooks'']], June 9, 1948, p. 131. There are more than twenty references to [[Fatima and Maria Valtorta|Our Lady of Fatima]] in all the work of [[Maria Valtorta]], both in inspired writings and in author narrations. But none, to our knowledge, before 1943.&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> ===2. The spirit is the seat of the &quot;Kingdom of God&quot; within us===<br /> [https://bible.usccb.org/bible/luke/17 Luke 17:21] is sometimes translated as &quot;behold, the reign of God is ''in the midst of you''&quot;&lt;ref&gt;For example, the translation of [https://bible.usccb.org/bible/luke/17 the A.E.L.F.] (liturgical): &quot;behold, the reign of God is in the midst of you.&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;, but also as &quot;behold, the [[Our Father 2: Thy Kingdom come#Le Royaume de God|kingdom of God]] is ''within you''&quot;.&lt;ref&gt;For example, the translation of the [https://bible.usccb.org/bible/luke/17 Canon Crampon]: &quot;behold, the kingdom of God is within you.&quot; This seems closer to the [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Lucas%2017&amp;version=VULGATE Vulgate]: &quot;Ecce enim regnum Dei intra vos est.&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; [[Jesus]], in the work of [[Maria Valtorta]], explains this ambivalence: &lt;blockquote&gt;Regarding the Kingdom of God, ''it is within you and wherever there are men who believe in Me''. ... It is there, in the Kingdom of God, that the new Temple will be built, that is to say where the spirits (''spiriti'') that accept my Doctrine, the Doctrine of the Kingdom of God, and practice its precepts.<br /> <br /> How will it be built if you are poor and few? Oh! truly, no money nor power is needed to build the edifice of the new dwelling of God, individual or collective. ''The Kingdom of God is in you'', and the union of all those who will have the Kingdom of God in them, all those who will have God in them, God: Grace; God: Life; God: Light; God: Charity, will constitute the great Kingdom of God on Earth, the new Jerusalem which will manage to extend to the ends of the world and which, complete and perfect, without Imperfections, without shadows, will live forever in Heaven.&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.maria-valtorta.org/Publication/TOME%2009/09-015.htm#CEV59639 EMV 596.39]&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;[[Maria Valtorta]] locates this Kingdom of God within us, similarly to [[Saul (Paul) the Apostle|Saint Paul]]&lt;ref&gt;[https://bible.usccb.org/bible/1corinthians/3 1 Corinthians 3:16]&lt;/ref&gt;, affirming that &quot;The Spirit of God dwells in you&quot;: &lt;blockquote&gt;The Kingdom of God within us, [is] invisible since it is spiritual, ''living in its spiritual part'' and living since its creation, provided man does not destroy the Kingdom of God in him by sin and perseverance in sin, thus killing even ''Life within his Soul.''&lt;ref&gt;[[Commentaries on the Apocalypse|Commentaries on the Apocalypse]], p. 551.&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;And [[Book of Azarias|Azarias]] further explains how this Kingdom is already the seed of the eternal Kingdom: &lt;blockquote&gt;The dead do not enter the Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of God begins in ''The Spirit'' of man on earth by union with God; it is completed in Heaven by full possession of God. Here on earth, God is in you, and in heaven, you will be in God. But God does not enter the corruption of death, and the decay of death does not enter Heaven. Just as in the eternal Jerusalem there will be no Temple &quot;because its Temple is the Lord&quot; (cf. [https://bible.usccb.org/bible/revelation/21 Apocalypse 21:23-27]) in which we shall all be.&lt;ref&gt;[[Book of Azarias|Book of Azarias]], 2nd Sunday after Pentecost, page 163.&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;It should be noted that Maria Valtorta develops, with great mastery, this description of the Kingdom of God in her [https://www.maria-valtorta.org/Quaderni/Apocalypse.htm#Royaume commentaries on the Apocalypse]. These commentaries are of such a high level and depth that they were long attributed to the Holy Spirit until Marie-Juliette Quignon&lt;ref&gt;See in this regard the [https://www.maria-valtorta.org/Quaderni/Apocalypse.htm#QuiDonc explanatory note], to the left of these commentaries.&lt;/ref&gt; pointed out that the author was human and that this author was Maria Valtorta herself, having reached a very close proximity to God.<br /> <br /> ===3. The spirit is the place of revelations and visions===<br /> The scenes seen by Maria Valtorta in Ecstasy are truly perceived by the mystic's senses but inaccessible to our senses, says Cardinal Ratzinger in his catechesis on the secret of [[Fatima and Maria Valtorta|Fatima]]&lt;ref name=&quot;:3&quot;&gt;Cf. Cardinal J. Ratzinger (Benedict XVI) – [http://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/congregations/cfaith/documents/rc_con_cfaith_doc_20000626_message-fatima_fr.html ''Theological Commentary on the Secret of Fatima''] - The anthropological structure of private revelations, June 29, 2000, &lt;/ref&gt;. In one of his commentaries, Azarias informs Maria that visions become accessible by ''extension'' of the possibilities of our ordinary senses.&lt;ref&gt;''[[Book of Azarias|Book of Azarias]], [https://www.maria-valtorta.org/Azarias/Azarias02.htm#BWater Quinquagesima Sunday]'', p. 15.&lt;/ref&gt; He also implies that this is a gift from God, not the result of a human practice. [[Saul (Paul) the Apostle|Saint Paul]] almost explicitly says: &quot;I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven (whether in the body or out of the body I do not know—God knows). And I know that this man (whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, God knows) was caught up into paradise and heard inexpressible things, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;[https://bible.usccb.org/bible/2corinthians/12 2 Corinthians 12:2-4].&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Indeed, the separation of the Soul and body causes death, but the rapture of the spirit causes only Ecstasy or a similar state. [[John of Zebedee the Apostle|Saint John]], at the beginning of the Apocalypse, is clearer about this rapture: &quot;I, John, your brother, [...] I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet, saying: 'Write what you see in a book.'&quot;&lt;ref&gt;[https://bible.usccb.org/bible/revelation/1 Apocalypse 1:9-11].&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Maria Valtorta confirms that in this state of rapture, the spirit of Man, the Soul of the Soul, becomes the place for revelations and visions, not abstractly, but through amplified senses.&lt;blockquote&gt;I understand this because, as I have already explained to you many times, when God takes me to be His spokesperson, my intellect is amplified and raised to a power far superior to that granted to men. ''And I &quot;see&quot;, &quot;hear&quot;, &quot;understand&quot; Thus the spirit.''&lt;ref&gt;[[Notebooks from 1945 to 1950|''The Notebooks from 1945 to 1950'']], April 15, 1945, p. 52.&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Maria Valtorta talks here of intelligence but amplified in ''the spirit'' (with a lowercase). Likewise, she sees, hears, in other words, her senses are multiplied in this zone of contact with God. Reality abstracts itself from matter to share the knowledge that God grants. This is not linked to a particular situation, such as formal prayer for example, but to a fundamental and constant attitude of availability to listen to God:&lt;blockquote&gt;It often happens that inspirations, counsels, voices resonate in my Heart just at moments when I am engaged in things very different from the realm of the spirit. When I pray, it is hard for me to hear them. Yet when I write, read, work, eat, play with my little animals, talk with so-and-so, suddenly a word explodes in my Soul... Perhaps it is because whatever I am doing, my deep “self” always remains fixed ''in one place,'' and nothing can tear it away from its life which consists in God. I do not know. I believe that is how it is.&lt;ref&gt;[[Autobiography|''Autobiography'']], p. 454.&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;These are not pathological hallucinations, but rather this inner perception (visio imaginativa) that Cardinal Ratzinger defined as: &quot;This vision calls upon the 'internal senses'. The Soul is made capable of seeing the non-sensible, the non-visible by the senses, but the objects are real, although they do not belong to our usual sensible world.&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;:3&quot; /&gt; This takes place indeed ''in the spirit'' as Maria Valtorta specifies when answering a question from [[Father Romualdo Migliorini and Maria Valtorta|Father Migliorini]]:&lt;blockquote&gt;You asked me today how I could know the names of [[Hillel]] and [[Gamaliel]], as well as that of [[Shammai, the great rabbi of Israel|Shammai]]. It is the voice I call the &quot;second voice&quot; which tells me these things, a voice even less perceptible than that of my Jesus and the others who dictate. Those latter voices — I have already told you and I repeat — are voices which my spiritual ear perceives ''exactly like human voices''. I hear if they are gentle or angry, loud or soft, if they laugh or if they are sad. As if someone was speaking next to me. However, this &quot;second voice&quot; is like a light, an intuition that speaks in my spirit. ''I say well &quot;in&quot; and not &quot;to&quot; my spirit''. It is an indication.&lt;ref&gt;[[Notebooks of 1944|''The Notebooks of 1944'']], January 29, p. 103.&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Everything that puts us in the listening state to God is therefore particularly important, notably prayer, in all its forms, or ''Lectio divina''&lt;ref&gt;Lectio divina (divine reading) consists in reading a passage of the Holy Scriptures (lectio), meditating on its application to our concrete life (meditatio), then conversing with God (oratio) to finally render perceptible the Presence of Christ &quot;with us until the end of time&quot; (contemplatio).&lt;/ref&gt; for example.<br /> ===4. The spirit is the place of consumption of redemptive suffering===<br /> The spirit, this &quot;house where the Master of the house dwells,&quot; plays a vital role for [[Co-redeemer, Victim Soul, Reparative Soul, Host, Victimal Gift|Victim Souls]]. Indeed, it is the place of communion with the sufferings of Christ. It is there where Christ accompanies and supports the Soul in its holocaust. It is where the physical and moral sufferings endured by [[Co-redeemer, Victim Soul, Reparative Soul, Host, Victimal Gift|co-redeemers]] are transformed into a Work of Salvation.<br /> <br /> One can better understand what this means by reading this confession from [[Maria Valtorta]]: &lt;blockquote&gt;Immediately after offering myself to martyrdom of love came added a martyrdom of acute suffering in the flesh, accentuated ''in the spirit'' by an austerity which seemed to weigh on my being.<br /> <br /> I explain myself, or try to. I did not feel abandoned by God. No. His love always watched over me. But if Jesus caressed me, the Father intensified the weight of His hand on my Heart. Then began a period of harsh penances […] It had come immediately, total and obscure, the hour of Gethsemane... and it lasted, I could say, ten long years, because it was only from 1941 that its harshness diminished.<br /> <br /> Do not imagine that I felt dryness of the Heart. No, never that. Just as I was never deprived of the comfort of Christ’s love. But I suffered intensely and morally in perceiving ''exactly'' what was to occur in the world...&lt;ref&gt;[[Autobiography|''Autobiography'']], p. 374.&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Here, redemptive suffering is accentuated but simultaneously supported by the love of Christ. In this second excerpt, one discovers that ''under these conditions'', suffering becomes a source of joy. Not a masochistic joy&lt;ref&gt;Joy is not in suffering but in participation in the work of the Redeemer.&lt;/ref&gt;, but redemptive joy. The one that made [[Jesus]] exult on the threshold of His Passion,&lt;ref&gt;[https://bible.usccb.org/bible/luke/12 Luke 12:49-50]: I came to cast fire upon the earth... and how I wish it were already kindled!&lt;/ref&gt; the one that animated Saint Paul, who endured much suffering for evangelization,&lt;ref&gt;[https://bible.usccb.org/bible/acts/9 Acts 9:16]: I will show him how much he must suffer for my name.&lt;/ref&gt; and whom we have quoted several times: &quot;Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I complete what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the Church.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;[https://aelf.org/bible/Co/1 Colossians 1:24].&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;I asked for suffering, writes Maria Valtorta. And suffering came to me from all sides. I felt like a cistern into which pour the waters of many channels. There poured the channel of illness, that of slander, that of indifference, that of demands, that of greed. All, all poured in […] And I was, and ''I am, in my spirit,'' in perfect joy, for Jesus, treating me as a friend, gives me the joy of willing suffering for love of Him, pains, crosses, and all kinds of sufferings.&lt;ref&gt;[[Autobiography|''Autobiography'']], p. 421.&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;And a little further on: &lt;blockquote&gt;It was something strange. The Soul always remained the same, united to God, in Peace, in the Thirst for sacrifice. Prayer constituted my joy. I desired the Sacraments more than air itself. The flesh went mad. I have the impression that by a will to attribute I do not know to whom, the Most High or the Most Low, I was somehow split in two. ''On my spirit'' reigned God, while on my matter Lucifer bit, excited, disturbed... and sometimes lay in the mud. ''Then flesh and spirit reunited'' and then came the anguish of having been weak... I suffered hell.&lt;ref&gt;''[[Autobiography]],'' p. 462.&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;The sufferings, very real, are offered to the Heart of God, who redistributes the merits. This is how one can understand why Maria, like all Victim Souls, was able to bless suffering. This feeling, which may seem inhuman, becomes more accessible to humanity through compassion: sharing, through listening and Presence, someone’s trial lightens the burden weighing on them. This act restores, in a spirit overwhelmed by the trial, the love that suffering had driven away.<br /> ===5. The life and death of the spirit===<br /> <br /> If the Soul is immortal, the Life inhabiting it can nevertheless &quot;die&quot; when, through our will, we expel God who resides therein. The Soul then becomes &quot;dead.&quot; It is not so much the sins themselves that condemn, but the conscious and repeated decision to reject God until the end. That is hell. &quot;God predestines no one to go to [[Hell, Hells|hell]]. It requires a voluntary aversion to God (a mortal sin), and persisting in it to the end.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.maria-valtorta.org/Ressources/0976-1065.htm#1037 CEC § 1037]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> As long as life lasts, this rejection remains temporary because it can be erased by contrition. After death, however, this rejection becomes definitive and eternal. Killing the spirit within us—this Life which is the Soul of our Soul—is therefore an action of extreme gravity. This spiritual death begins with the appearance of [[Pride]]: the human pretension to be equal to God, to be able to do without Him. It is through Pride that Lucifer became Satan. And no one is safe from this Temptation, not even Maria Valtorta, to whom Jesus said: &lt;blockquote&gt;Never pride. You would be punished by losing me.&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.maria-valtorta.org/Publication/TOME%2005/05-037.htm#CEV34915 EMV 349.15]&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;If that is the path to death, then what is the path to life? Azarias shows the way, a path accessible to all: it is the very path of the Gospel:&lt;blockquote&gt;It is truly clear that man does not know how to see, reflect, or understand. If man knew how to love, he would see, reflect, and understand. The proportion of seeing, understanding, and reflecting corresponds to the ''degree of love'' attained by the Soul.<br /> <br /> Man becomes capable of seeing, reflecting, and understanding in the same measure as he gives himself and surrenders to love to be enveloped by it, burned, destroyed to be rebuilt under a new form, inflamed to inflame and thus glorify and sanctify by carrying among men the ardor of the immense furnace where the creature is transformed into a seraph to truly ''enter'' God, into the burning tabernacle that is God — the source of all, the tireless accomplishes-all, the perfect, the accomplished, the holy, the power, the wisdom, the light, the thought, the word, the love, the life, the Grace, the one who confirms Grace.<br /> <br /> In a word: the loving man, living ''by his spirit'' within the Most Holy Trinity, takes on the habits and feelings of the place where it dwells, therefore active, contemplative, joyful love, light and knowledge, the faculties of seeing, reflecting, and understanding.&lt;ref&gt;[[Book of Azarias|Book of Azarias]], Pentecost Sunday, pages 131/132.&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Azarias continues the following Sunday, explaining how God goes to meet the prodigal son:&lt;blockquote&gt;The stronger the love, the stronger the knowledge, and the distance is reduced. I remind you that to the degree of love attained by the creature corresponds a degree of love of God relative to it, and even multiplied by its power, because God loves to give Himself to those who seek Him without measure, He who gives by His mercy and Providence even to His children who do not seek Him. This distance is reduced because the Soul is more united to God ''who descends—'' as it cannot rise to the abyss of height where the Trinity burns,—to God ''who concedes Himself'' to be known as much as possible, burning to be ''completely'' known, ''completely'' possessed by His child when the reward of paradise will be given to his faith, his love, his heroism.&lt;ref&gt;''Id°,'' 1st Sunday after Pentecost. Feast of The Holy Trinity, page 145.&lt;/ref&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;But human weakness remains. Maria, once again, enlightens and advises us: &lt;blockquote&gt;Of this body, from which we cannot, by ourselves, part, let us make it an instrument of glory rather than defeat. We must show patience even with ourselves, especially with ourselves, and lead with the spirit made of light the matter made of Darkness, raise with the spirit, fit for flight, the matter which tends to fall to the ground. And this must be done without ever tiring. We must bear ourselves without fear. We must take example from the Master who bears us and never tires of healing us every time we hurt ourselves.&lt;ref&gt;[[Autobiography|''Autobiography'']], p. 497.&lt;/ref&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;This human frailty finds its aid, refuge and invincible strength in a source known and offered to all: &lt;blockquote&gt;Mary is the one who triumphs over [[Satan]]. The true Death, that of the spirit, will not come to those who know how to pray to the Mother for the hour of their life, for the hour on earth, for the hour of Temptation and for the hour of Death.&lt;ref&gt;[[Notebooks of 1943|''The Notebooks of 1943'']], November 8, p. 449.&lt;/ref&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;The work addresses our spirit. &lt;blockquote&gt;I speak to you, little voice, I speak to all the &quot;voices&quot;, and then to those who are still men made in the image and likeness of God, that is to say a combination of body and Soul ''in whom The Spirit is a king who remembers God.''&lt;ref&gt;[[Book of Azarias|Book of Azarias]], 4th Sunday after Easter, page 103.&lt;/ref&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;Jesus, concluding his discourse on the Bread from Heaven,&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.maria-valtorta.org/Publication/TOME%2005/05-044.htm#CEV35411 EMV 354.11]&lt;/ref&gt;, proclaimed: &quot;It is the spirit (spiritus) that gives life; the flesh is no help. The words I have spoken to you are spirit (spiritus) and they are life.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;[https://bible.usccb.org/bible/john/6 John 6:63].&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ===Is this reflection on The Spirit applicable to Jesus, true God and true Man?===<br /> [[Peter the Apostle|Saint Peter]] reveals our destiny as participants in the divine nature&lt;ref&gt;[https://bible.usccb.org/bible/2peter/1 2 Peter 1:3-4]&lt;/ref&gt; and assures us that we have all we need to become so: &quot;His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and excellence, by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire.&quot;<br /> <br /> But what about Christ himself: what was the nature of his Soul? Did he have a spirit like ours?<br /> <br /> The ''Catechism of the Catholic Church'' answers us: the Incarnation of the Son of God does not mean that Jesus Christ is partly God and partly man, nor that He results from a confused mixture of the divine and the human. He really became man while remaining truly God.&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.maria-valtorta.org/Ressources/0422-0483.htm#CEC0464 CEC § 464]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> The Christ, perfect in divinity and perfect in humanity, truly God and truly man, made up of a rational Soul and a body, consubstantial with the Father as to divinity, consubstantial with us as to humanity, like us in everything except sin&quot; (&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.maria-valtorta.org/Ressources/0422-0483.htm#CEC0467 CEC § 467]&lt;/ref&gt;-&lt;ref&gt;[https://bible.usccb.org/bible/hebrews/4 Hebrews 4:15]&lt;/ref&gt;).<br /> <br /> The difference of natures is not annulled by their union but rather the properties of each are preserved and united in a single person and a single &quot;hypostasis&quot;.<br /> <br /> Christ possesses two wills and two natural operations, divine and human, not opposed but cooperating, so that the Word made flesh willed humanly in obedience to His Father all that He divinely decided with the Father and the Holy Spirit for our salvation. Christ’s human will &quot;follows his divine will, without resistance or opposition to it, but rather while being subordinated to that all-powerful will.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.maria-valtorta.org/Ressources/0422-0483.htm#CEC0470 CEC § 475]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> This is perfectly illustrated by the following dialogue where Jesus, in Maria Valtorta, addresses [[Judas Iscariot the Apostle|Judas]]: &lt;blockquote&gt;During the night ''my spirit'' draws nourishment from the Father. Prayer, meditation, and solitude are more necessary to me than material food. Whoever wants to live by ''The Spirit'' and bring others to live the same life must put the flesh after — I would almost say kill it — to devote all care to ''The Spirit''.&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.maria-valtorta.org/publication/TOME%2002/02-032.htm#CEV06901 EMV 69.1-3]&lt;/ref&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;This domination of divinity over humanity is commented on by Maria Valtorta in footnote:&lt;blockquote&gt;The two ladders of [[Satan]] aim to make man, this child of God, an animal, and the Only Son of God made man, a sinner.<br /> <br /> The first descends from the spirit to the flesh and &quot;succeeded&quot; by the fatal fall. The second ascends from the flesh to the spirit and &quot;failed&quot; for the following reason: the Satanic design to induce the Messiah to sin and thereby destroy forever all possibility of man's regeneration to his condition of child of God, served, thanks to the perfection of the Man-God, to confirm Christ in his grace as man and therefore in his power as Messiah, cause of eternal salvation for the offspring of [[Adam and Eve, New Eve|Adam]] redeemed (&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.maria-valtorta.org/publication/TOME%2003/03-034.htm#CEV17409 EMV 174.9]&lt;/ref&gt;, in the note on original sin).&lt;/blockquote&gt;The divine and human nature is again explained in the commentaries Maria Valtorta writes on a typed page attached to the original text which she never touches. For this, she takes up the wording of Jesus in the work and then comments:&lt;ref name=&quot;:4&quot;&gt;[https://www.maria-valtorta.org/publication/TOME%2006/06-095.htm#CEV40610 EMV 406.10], footnote.&lt;/ref&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt;(Jesus): &quot;The spirit, created for all men from the same Source of power and goodness, knows no difference of “initial” perfection, but he knows many once united to flesh. There is only one uncreated and perfect Spirit, and who has always remained so. There are three perfect created spirits (=Adam, Eve, and Mary)…&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;:4&quot; /&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;Later: &lt;blockquote&gt;(Jesus): &quot;I have in my flesh the divine Spirit, uncreated, but begotten by the Father in overflowing love. And I have the Soul that the Father created for me since now I am Man. It is a perfect Soul, as fits the Man-God. But I speak of other spirits.&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;:4&quot; /&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;Maria Valtorta then comments: &lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;He speaks here as the God-Word 'through whom all things were made,' even His human Soul. If He spoke as a man, He would say that God — thus Himself again — created &quot;the unique perfect spirit&quot; to unite it to His Incarnate Word's flesh, in whom all perfections concentrate. And He speaks to pagans, thus in a way adapted to their ignorance on the matter.&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;:4&quot; /&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;The editor finds it necessary to conclude this commentary by Maria Valtorta as follows: &lt;blockquote&gt;In light of what Jesus says about Himself in&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.maria-valtorta.org/publication/TOME%2002/02-044.htm#CEV08009 EMV 80.9]&lt;/ref&gt; and in&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.maria-valtorta.org/publication/TOME%2004/04-135.htm#CEV27204 EMV 272.4]&lt;/ref&gt;, we can affirm that the spirit (one of the three parts that constitute man: body, Soul, and spirit), created (and infused) by the Father for all men, was, in the case of Christ, begotten (and not created) by the Father. Therefore, Christ’s Soul is created and His spirit uncreated.&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;:4&quot; /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> ==In &quot;The Gospel as Revealed to Me&quot;==<br /> <br /> * '''[https://www.maria-valtorta.org/Publication/TOME%2001/01-024.htm#CEV02401 EMV 17.1]''': How many truths your Soul would reveal to you if you knew how to converse with it, if you loved it as the one who gives you the likeness of God, who is Spirit as your Soul is '''spirit'''!&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.maria-valtorta.org/Publication/TOME%2001/01-024.htm#CEV02401 EMV 17.1]&lt;/ref&gt; <br /> *'''[https://www.maria-valtorta.org/Publication/TOME%2001/01-024.htm#CEV02402 EMV 17.2]''' : If you knew how to question your Soul, it would teach you the true, exact meaning, as vast as creation itself, of the word “to dominate”: “So that man dominates ''over all''.

I mean the ''Shroud of Turin'' and the ‘’Tilma‘’ of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Again, it took until our time, with scientific tools and rigor, to stumble upon facts extremely resistant to the logic of phenomena. Science exhausts itself refining the analysis of facts and the more it advances, the more it stumbles upon its own Contradiction in the requirement of its own logic. There comes a moment when, to escape the absurd, one must correctly place the hypothesis of the supernatural and the meaning of its emergence in the field of experience.&quot;&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;Our time, like never before, overflows with books! A list of causes defended by them would quickly be made, the best as well as the worst, always by the expression of a thought communicated in the engraved word, to pass it on to others and convince that what is shared is important for the author and the reader. The stake for the author here is clearly apologetic: to scientifically prove that a work is inspired by God, that this God is the one of Christian Revelation, and that this Christian Revelation is addressed today to our contemporaries to deliver an important message that the Catholic Church should greatly value since it is a charism that has often accompanied and enlightened its own history.<br /> <br /> This book is admirable in more than one way because it looks carefully, scientifically, at one of the great enigmas little known in our time: the case of Maria Valtorta, probably the greatest visionary in the history of Christianity! The consequences are considerable because the fundamental illumination Jean-François Lavère brings in this work is based on objective facts accessible to exact science linked to the most recent discoveries, mainly archaeological. For the reader the conclusions will speak for themselves!<br /> <br /> This remarkable work could not have been done fifty years earlier. Maria Valtorta died in 1961 and ''[[The Gospel as Revealed to Me|The Gospel as Revealed to Me]]'' was 'inspired' to her during the darkest years of the War. Pope [[Pius XII and Maria Valtorta|Pius XII]], reigning Supreme Pontiff at the time, issued a positive Discernment on this publication: ''Publish the work as is. There is no need to give an opinion on its origin, whether extraordinary or not, those who read will understand.'' The word of a Pope is not without value and is based on the feeling that the Pontiff shares with his contemporaries that this text is orthodox. Pius XII, more than anyone, guarantees that the work does not betray the canonical Gospels nor the Magisterium of the Catholic Church, thus he advises this reading... Pius XII, however, prudent as befits his duties, specifies: ''There is no need to give an opinion on its origin, whether extraordinary or not.'' The Holy Father did not have at that time the objective analytical tool that would allow him to affirm the supernatural origin of the work, yet he did not close the door to this hypothesis and even pushed in a direction revealing his inner feeling: ''those who will read will understand!''<br /> <br /> Today things have indeed changed. Science has progressed incredibly in half a century and the computer has revolutionized research in all fields, unifying knowledge, classifying, coordinating analysis data, which has allowed immense progress notably for phenomena concerning us here: archaeology and astronomy. For fifty years, since the end of the last (sic!) War, the state of Israel has encouraged all-out digs on most Jewish and Christian sites on its territory, precisely the one Jesus and his Apostles walked some two thousand years ago. A much more advanced knowledge than fifty years ago has emerged, giving us a multitude of new and precise places and contexts of the way of life of what specialists call Late Antiquity.<br /> <br /> This is precisely the strength of the prodigious and patient work of Jean-François Lavère. Indeed, he highlights an astonishing concordance between recent scientific discoveries and the visionary descriptions of Maria Valtorta which extend over thousands of pages, without erasures, without Contradictions, and in a unity of time and place demonstrated by very rigorous research. All this half a century ago: from the depths of a sick bed, without documentation and without any link to a scientific community, this Woman 'sees' live and somewhat in abridgment, describing what some scholars much later deduce laboriously from an archaeological datum two thousand years old! Names of villages in Aramaic, towns and monuments disappeared and now found, knowledge of customs and habits, decorations, costumes... a whole context that the author of this work amply proves is impossible unless one makes room for what the ‘seer’ herself affirms: it is God who shows her, it is Jesus who dictates the teachings that accompany and illustrate the Gospels without ever betraying them, in their cultural context and often with a moving poetry consecrating the union of the True, the Good and the Beautiful that springs from Christ like a Water from its source.<br /> <br /> One clearly sees that Pius XII’s remark: ''there is no need to give an opinion as to its origin, whether extraordinary or not'' no longer holds fifty years later: this work is of extraordinary origin otherwise it would simply be inexplicable and even unthinkable from the point of view of scientific objectivity. It is indeed astonishing to note that science can be so rigorous that in order to remain logical it must, if it wants to remain honest, posit as hypothesis the existence of a supernatural origin to a chain of events where the law of causality which underlies all science is not questioned but actually invalidated by the very facts it analyzes. Every miracle falls within this kind of process. In the case of Maria Valtorta, after reading this brilliant work, science – which is the tool all the more efficient as it brings forth unknown facts hidden for two thousand years – finds itself not overwhelmed by epistemological subtleties but confronted with a brutal Contradiction with its own experience: how could this simple Woman have known what was buried for two thousand years and resurfaced half a century after her!<br /> <br /> This real enigma joins in this field two other great enigmas of Christian history: one relating to Christ himself and the other to the Holy Virgin, his Mother. I mean the ''Shroud of Turin'' and the ‘’Tilma‘’ of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Again, it took until our time, with scientific tools and rigor, to stumble upon facts extremely resistant to the logic of phenomena. Science exhausts itself refining the analysis of facts and the more it advances, the more it stumbles upon its own Contradiction in the requirement of its own logic. There comes a moment when, to escape the absurd, one must rightly place the hypothesis of the supernatural and the meaning of its emergence in the field of experience.<br /> <br /> Yes, our time is fascinating and complex! The development of science and technology brought us the best but also the worst, well-being but also often forgetfulness of God. It has even been said in the West that ‘God is dead’... Some Churches have emptied... Christian influence has gradually been marginalized by a humanism cut off from its evangelical roots. And yet remain the great enigmas of Christianity with all the force of a Divine Providence that accompanies the people of believers: the Shroud of Turin does not prove the Resurrection of Christ Jesus but still withstands scientific investigation increasingly demanding as a permanent question mark postulating a ‘space’, a ‘beyond’, which makes this prestigious relic an acceptable witness to strengthen Christian faith before the world. The Tilma of Our Lady of Guadalupe also testifies to us, thanks to contemporary science unable to explain phenomena resisting it like an impassable wall for its analysis, that the Mother of Jesus is legitimately the Mother of Saints and sinners. Mary will probably one day be recognized as [[Co-redeemer, Victim Soul, Reparative Soul, Host, Victimal Gift|co-redemptrix]] of men by the Grace of her Son; she is invested within the communion of Saints with a special Mission at the end of times as Saint John announces in his Apocalypse&lt;ref&gt;[https://bible.usccb.org/bible/revelation/12 Apocalypse 12].&lt;/ref&gt;.<br /> <br /> As for the “enigma,” the third one, that of Maria Valtorta, fifty years after her death it remains an enigma for science, testifying to the Supernatural that has brought forth this masterful work for us. Yes, for us who await the Return of Christ in the difficult times that must precede it, where ‘the faith of many will grow cold&lt;ref&gt;See [https://bible.usccb.org/bible/matthew/24 Matthew 24:12] | [https://bible.usccb.org/bible/luke/18 Luke 18:8].&lt;/ref&gt;’, where a time of persecutions predicted by many prophets must come. This testimony of a simple and humble Soul is offered to us as a journey twenty centuries back, to allow us to rediscover the roots of our faith on the steps of the One who walked on earth and waters and who today still walks in our footsteps, always Living, always here, Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah, son of David and Savior of men.<br /> <br /> May I be allowed lastly to mention the judgment of [[Padre Pio and Maria Valtorta|Padre Pio]], himself a miraculous witness of Christ whom he carried within during his lifetime. This Saint did not need science nor technological advances to advise his spiritual children about ''The Gospel as Revealed to Me'': ''you cannot, you must read it!'' &lt;ref&gt;See [[Padre Pio and Elisa Lucchi|''Padre Pio and Elisa Lucchi'']]&lt;/ref&gt;» Enlightened by the Holy Spirit, could he have advised reading a work not from God? And if it is from God, should its ‘instrument’ not be carefully and quickly examined by the Church as an authentic witness of Jesus? Should the Church not be the privileged relay of the Word of Christ who continues to incarnate even in our troubled times, manifesting His solicitude in charisms? Whereas recently Pope Benedict XVI called Christians to rediscover the spirit of primitive Christianity&lt;ref&gt;For example in his encyclical ''[https://www.vatican.va/content/benedict-xvi/fr/encyclicals/documents/hf_ben-xvi_enc_20071130_spe-salvi.html Spe salvi]'', § 4: ''The concept of hope founded on faith, in the New Testament and in the primitive Church''&lt;/ref&gt;, would it be unreasonable to do so also through the work of Maria Valtorta knowing that it was commissioned by [[Paul VI and Maria Valtorta|Paul VI]] for the Vatican library and that Cardinal Stanisław Dziwisz testifies to having often seen a volume of ''The Gospel as Revealed to Me'' on the bedside table of the holy Pope [[John Paul II and Maria Valtorta|John Paul II]]?<br /> <br /> In any case, many thanks to Jean François Lavère for this considerable labor which highlighted the reliability of Maria Valtorta’s ‘revelations’. Thanks to this indispensable work, their supernatural origin appears here legitimately established, following the analysis of great theologians like [[Father Gabriel M. Roschini and Maria Valtorta|Monsignor Roschini]], who expressed their perfect orthodoxy. As for the Fruits which, according to Holy Scripture, allow us to judge the tree, they are many and of quality, received by those who testify to having better understood Christ’s Love and benefited from multiple Graces through contact with this obviously inspired work… which leads to an authentic spirituality where the True Tradition inspired by the Lord to his first Disciples resurfaces and which we must absolutely rediscover when the tares threaten to choke the good grain! Many saints have announced a coming renewal: a return to a poor, modest and virtuous Church manifesting true unity far from the disheartening quarrels born of nostalgia or repulsion towards our grandmothers’ Church! Christ appeared to Maria Valtorta not to invite us on a curious tourist walk but to show us the way of this renewal!”<br /> <br /> On this Ash Wednesday 2012,<br /> <br /> + Monsignor Johanan-Mariam&lt;ref&gt;Monsignor Johanan-Mariam de Cazenave is Secretary of the Syro-Francophone Synod, one of the Syriac ecclesiastical jurisdictions originating from the Church of Antioch. He is also a graduate of the Catholic Institute of Paris (University Paris-Sorbonne).&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> == Author's preamble ==<br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;'''O man of little faith, why did you doubt?'''<br /> <br /> Our first contact with the work of Maria Valtorta, in the early 1980s, took place at the initiative of a priest friend. He had already read ''[[The Gospel as Revealed to Me|The Gospel as Revealed to Me]]'' three times when he affirmed to us, with all the authority permitted by his doctorate in theology: “''I have found no theological error in The Gospel as Revealed to Me, I strongly recommend reading it to you.''” My wife immediately followed this enlightened advice and began reading. Very quickly, not wanting to keep her discovery to herself, she kept urging me to share it with her. After some false excuses like, “''Not tonight darling, I’m too tired...''”, I ended up tolerating, whether willing or not, her plea that I listen as she read a chapter aloud to me each night, while I ‘distracted’ myself with crossword puzzles...<br /> <br /> Confident in my supposed intellectual faculties, it took me just a few pages to “understand”, as many other “learned and scholarly” had done before me, that it was just one of those “pseudo revelations invented by a mystic with an overactive imagination.” As Henri Poincaré so aptly noted, “''To doubt everything or to believe everything are equally convenient solutions, both of which dispense us from reflection.''” From then on my “reason” took over, and I soon became exasperated by all those “useless, apocryphal and unverifiable” details that spoiled my listening ability. How many times then, annoyed, did I ask my dear wife: “''Okay, enough, skip the details, get to the facts''...” risking to spoil her own enjoyment! However I still lent a more or less distracted ear to this “golden legend” &lt;ref&gt;The Golden Legend by Blessed Jacques de Voragine (13th century) is a compilation of ancient sources describing in 178 chapters the life of saints and episodes of the life of Jesus and Mary. This work enjoyed immense success.&lt;/ref&gt; partly to not displease her, partly out of respect for the recommendations of this priest friend, and a little also “to hear what happens next”… But my abandonment was not complete; I did not accept to “become like a child” again, and the “treasure” thus remained totally hidden during the entire first of the ten volumes of the work.<br /> <br /> '''God cannot deny Himself, nor can the truth ever deny the truth'''<br /> <br /> ... Then came the second volume, and those few luminous words of Jesus (vision of February 9, 1944): “''I'' ''wish to give '''to those who believe in Me''' a vision '''brought to the truth''' of my stay on earth'' &lt;ref&gt;See [https://www.maria-valtorta.org/Publication/TOME%2002/02-002.htm#CEV04408 EMV 44.8].&lt;/ref&gt;” And a few pages later (dictation of February 4, 1944): “''The more you are attentive and precise'' (in describing what you see) ''the more important will be the number of those who come to Me... This implies that '''the descriptions must be known''''' &lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot;&gt;Quote included in ''[[Notebooks of 1944|The Notebooks of 1944]]'', January 25, p. 95.&lt;/ref&gt;.” I then noticed in the notebooks that already on January 25, 1944, Jesus had given “''this sweet advice''” to Maria Valtorta: “''Remember to be '''meticulous to the highest degree''' when you repeat to them what you see. '''The slightest trifle''' has value and is not ‘yours,’ but ‘Mine.’'' (...) ''In the contemplations, you observe much but, in your haste to write'' (...) ''you sometimes omit certain details. You must not do that. Write them all down as footnotes,'' &lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot; /&gt;.”<br /> <br /> These few sentences struck me like a shock. I, who kept complaining about “''those superfluous descriptions''”, suddenly learned that these “''useless and overabundant''” details that had nourished my disbelief were precisely given to strengthen my faith! The descriptions were not futile burdens, just offered for admiration “''of spirits sensitive to poetry''”; they were above all intended to be examined by reason, and given to comfort Faith... It was therefore through the study of these details that the “''learned and scholarly''” could support their belief in the truthfulness of the teachings contained in the work transmitted by Maria Valtorta.<br /> <br /> '''We are punished by what we sin against'''<br /> <br /> I had doubted greatly... So I now had to study thoroughly. That day, since a means was indicated to me, I decided to be absolutely clear, and I seized the hand that was offered to me. I just had to systematically verify, with all scientific rigor possible, every detail provided in the work, analyze its credibility or coherence or accuracy, to judge the overall truthfulness of the work by applying the ancient principle of Ambrosiaster&lt;ref&gt;''Omne verum a quocumque dicatur a Spiritu Sancto est'' : this principle, attributed to Saint Ambrose, is reported by Saint Thomas Aquinas in his ''Summa Theologica'' (I-II, quest. 109, art. 1).&lt;/ref&gt;: “''Everything true comes from the Holy Spirit, whoever expresses it.''”<br /> <br /> I must confess that when I made this decision, my skepticism towards the work was not yet completely dissipated: “''In a month or two, and after analyzing about a hundred details,''” I thought, “''I will definitely see if all this is truthful or contains errors.''”&lt;ref&gt;Similar analyses performed on the writings of Mary of Agreda and Saint Anne Catherine Emmerich had fueled my skepticism about the quality of transcription of some visions.&lt;/ref&gt;...<br /> <br /> But as the saying goes ''Dubitando ad veritatem pervenimus''&lt;ref&gt;“''By doubting, we come to truth''” (Cicero, ''De officiis'').&lt;/ref&gt;, I was far from imagining then that this study would reveal to me a multitude of hidden treasures, to the point of making me glimpse “''the splendor of Truth''” of which Saint John Paul II so well spoke...<br /> <br /> '''Who does not dream of finding a treasure?'''<br /> <br /> The search for Truth can be compared to a treasure hunt. And in this investigation, as in any treasure hunt, to maximize chances you need to choose your basic equipment: a reliable map, a good metal detector and a sturdy pickaxe.<br /> <br /> The map is the Holy Scripture with, at the center, the Gospels. Those who go searching for the Treasure without this map will bitterly experience that all that glitters is not gold. Most often, they will find only flashy and deceptive trinkets—the modern idols against which Benedict XVI has warned us: “''money, thirst for possession, power and even knowledge''”&lt;ref&gt;Benedict XVI, ''Homily of 9/13/2008'', Esplanade des Invalides in Paris.&lt;/ref&gt;... The Scriptures, however, show us the true Path that leads to Truth...<br /> <br /> The detector that will allow us to extract nuggets of Truth from the fields of error and lies is called faith. Faith guides us step by step in our search, and directs us towards Truth as the compass needle once helped the sailor follow his heading. When faith shows us clearly enough where the Truth lies, it is time to truly discover it and admire its beauty.<br /> <br /> Then the pickaxe can intervene to clear all that still hides it from our sight. In this parable, the pickaxe is surely reason. With it, we can dig, clear, sift. And suddenly comes joy, dazzling light: the treasure bursts forth, illuminating the Spirit with its thousand fires.<br /> <br /> But we must always keep in mind that in this quest for Truth, faith must always precede reason, as Pope John Paul II recalled&lt;ref&gt;In his splendid encyclical ''Fides et Ratio'' (September 14, 1998).&lt;/ref&gt;: “''Only faith allows penetrating the mystery, of which it favors a coherent understanding''”... Then the signs present in Revelation “''give more strength to reason because they allow it to conduct its search within the mystery by its own means, of which it is rightly jealous; on the other hand, they invite it to transcend their reality as signs in order to receive the ultimate meaning they bear''”''.'' (...) “''Faith and reason are like two wings that allow the human spirit to soar towards contemplation of the truth''.” (...) “''Man attains truth through reason, because, enlightened by faith, he discovers the profound meaning of everything.''”<br /> <br /> Private revelations, visions and Apparitions related to the gospel message can be seen as annotations on the map. Often they illustrate Scripture, embellish its reading, or facilitate its understanding. But the map, the Scripture, is written once and for all. Nothing can be added to it nor removed: that would distort it or even make it unreadable. This is what the Church explains when declaring Revelation closed. Guardian of the content and preservation of the Message, “''the Church watches over its treasure like a mother over her children''.” It is therefore her duty to pass judgment on all that concerns the Deposit entrusted to her.<br /> <br /> And that is why it is also lawful and prudent, if not indispensable, before diving into the detailed study of a document like ''The Gospel as Revealed to Me'', to have a clear view of the Church’s position on it. Otherwise, paraphrasing Saint Paul&lt;ref&gt;First Epistle of Saint Paul to the Corinthians 14:6 where he writes: “''Now, brothers, suppose I come to you and speak in tongues, how will I benefit you unless my word brings you revelation, knowledge, prophecy, or teaching?''”&lt;/ref&gt;, how would the message transmitted by Maria Valtorta “''be useful if it brings us neither revelation, knowledge, prophecy, nor teaching''”?<br /> <br /> Let us therefore first see what the Church’s judgment really is on Maria Valtorta’s work.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> == Notes and references ==<br /> &lt;references /&gt;<br /> [[Category:Valtortian Initiatives and Works]]<br /> [[fr:L'Énigme Valtorta - Tome 1]]</div>

There are 122 notebooks in total, representing 13,193 handwritten pages. Image: digitized page of a notebook. Source: documentary fonds of the [[Maria Valtorta Heritage Foundation]].]]<br /> The [[Visions, Seers|visions]] and [[Knowledge, Foresight, Thought, Revelations, Exegesis|revelations]] form the basis of the Bible&lt;ref&gt;See [https://bible.usccb.org/bible/1peter/1 1 Peter 1:10-12].&lt;/ref&gt;, which is qualified as &quot;Public Revelation&quot; to indicate its immutable and [[Eternity, Eternal|eternal]] character. These manifestations are also found following [[Jesus|Christ]]. Thus, [[Saul (Paul) the Apostle|St Paul]] testifies to his vision of Christ on the road to Damascus&lt;ref&gt;[https://bible.usccb.org/bible/acts/9 Acts 9:1-7] and [https://bible.usccb.org/bible/acts/22 Acts 22:5-10].&lt;/ref&gt; and the revelations he received&lt;ref&gt;See for example: [https://bible.usccb.org/bible/2corinthians/12 2 Corinthians 12:1-5] | [https://bible.usccb.org/bible/galatians/2 Galatians 2:1-2] | [https://bible.usccb.org/bible/ephesians/3 Ephesians 3:3].&lt;/ref&gt;. [[John of Zebedee the Apostle|The Apostle John]] bases his [[Commentaries on the Apocalypse|Apocalypse]] (whose name means revelation) on the visions he received about future [[Time, Century|times]].&lt;ref&gt;[https://bible.usccb.org/bible/revelation/1 Apocalypse 1:1] and [https://bible.usccb.org/bible/revelation/1 Apocalypse 1:10-11] for example.&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> If the [[Word, Verb|Word]] of [[God]] is entirely contained in &quot;the Bible&quot;, it is not confined there: it unfolds through Tradition interpreted by the Magisterium&lt;ref&gt;See Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation ''[https://www.vatican.va/archive/hist_councils/ii_vatican_council/documents/vat-ii_const_19651118_dei-verbum_en.html Dei Verbum]'' § 10 especially.&lt;/ref&gt;. The writings of [[Maria Valtorta]], and thus her visions and revelations, fall within the scope of private revelations which constitute &quot;an authentic Call to the Church&quot;&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/__P22.HTM|CCC §. 67]&lt;/ref&gt;, as explained by the [[Karl Rahner S.J. - The Theology of Private Revelations#3 - Meaning and nature of private revelations after Christ|theologian Karl Rahner]], and on which the Magisterium exercises [[Discernment]]. Indeed, private revelations contain the word &quot;revelation&quot; which refers to their Source that must be [[Saltf Measuring, Saltf Examining|examined]].<br /> <br /> == Characteristics of Maria Valtorta's visions and revelations ==<br /> <br /> === They are born &quot;in The Spirit&quot; ===<br /> One cannot truly understand the mystical process of Maria Valtorta without referring to [[The Spirit]] present in the [[Soul]], with reference to the [[Man is Body, Soul, and Spirit|three components of Man]] already stated by Saint Paul&lt;ref&gt;[https://bible.usccb.org/bible/1thessalonians/5 1 Thessalonians 5:23] : &quot;May the God of peace himself sanctify you completely; and may your spirit and soul and body be kept sound and blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;. Maria Valtorta indeed writes: &quot;In the body there is the Soul and in the Soul there is the spirit&quot;&lt;ref&gt;''Autobiography'', page 352. &lt;/ref&gt;. Later, on the occasion of the Assumption, [[Jesus]] explains to her&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.maria-valtorta.org/Publication/TOME%2010/10-037.htm#CEV65117 EMV 651.17].&lt;/ref&gt;: &quot;There is a difference between the separation of the Soul from the body for a true death, and the momentary separation of the spirit from the body and from the Soul that vivifies it by Ecstasy or contemplative rapture&lt;ref&gt;'''Ecstasy''' (''ekstasis'' in Greek, meaning &quot;to stand outside oneself&quot;) is a state where the Soul is raised beyond ordinary human faculties. Illuminated by a divine light, it gains revelations or truths inaccessible in the ordinary state. Ecstasy is often associated with an intense experience of God or mystical visions. '''Contemplative rapture''' is a higher form of prayer or contemplation in which the Soul is deeply drawn to God. The will is entirely absorbed in the love of God, often without visions or visible supernatural phenomena.&lt;/ref&gt;. Whereas the separation of the Soul from the body causes true death, ecstatic contemplation, i.e. the temporary escape of the spirit beyond the barriers of the senses and matter, does not cause death. And this is because the Soul does not detach and does not fully separate from the body, but does so only with its most excellent part which plunges into the Firex of contemplation.&quot; This &quot;most excellent&quot; part is The Spirit that Maria Valtorta calls &quot;the Soul of the Soul.&quot;<br /> <br /> It is in the spirit that Maria Valtorta receives her visions:&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;I understand it because, as I have already explained to you many times, when God takes me to be His spokesperson&lt;ref&gt;A spokesperson is an intermediary charged by God to deliver a message to men. This is the fundamental role of the prophets. In the Bible there are often phrases like: &quot;the word of the Lord came to me&quot;. &lt;/ref&gt;, my intelligence is amplified and elevated to a power higher than that granted to men. And I &quot;see&quot;, &quot;hear&quot;, I &quot;understand&quot; according to the spirit&quot;.&lt;ref&gt;''The Notebooks from 1945 to 1950'', April 15, 1945, p. 52.&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Maria Valtorta speaks here of intelligence, but amplified in the spirit (lowercase). Likewise, she sees, she hears, in other words her senses are multiplied in this zone of contact with God. Reality abstracts from matter to share the knowledge that God grants her. It is not a view of The Spirit, but a real inner experience. She specifies this to [[Father Romualdo Migliorini and Maria Valtorta|Father Migliorini]], her confessor: she hears &quot;in&quot; her spirit and not &quot;at&quot; her spirit:&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;You asked me today how I could know the names of [[Hillel]] and [[Gamaliel|Gamaliel,]] as well as that of [[Shammai, the great rabbi of Israel|Shammai]]. It is the voice I call the &quot;second voice&quot; that tells me these things, a voice even less perceptible than that of my Jesus and of the others who dictate. The latter are voices — I have already told you and I repeat it — that my spiritual ear perceives exactly as human voices. I hear if they are gentle or angry, loud or soft, if they laugh or if they are sad. As if someone was speaking next to me. However, this &quot;second voice&quot; is like a light, an intuition that speaks in my spirit. I say 'in' and not 'to' my spirit. It is an indication [...] It is He&lt;ref&gt;Maria Valtorta designates this &quot;second voice&quot; as her &quot;inner monitor&quot; (indicatore interno), same reference.&lt;/ref&gt; who makes me understand certain details that I would not grasp by myself, and which it is necessary to understand. I do not know if I have explained myself well.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;''The Notebooks of 1944'', January 29, p. 103. Also cited in [https://www.maria-valtorta.org/Publication/TOME%2001/01-068.htm#MoniteurInterieur EMV 41.10]&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> === The mystic's capacities are increased during her rapture ===<br /> Jesus recalls that rapture (or Ecstasy) multiplies the capacities of the mystic who does not lose her personality. These characteristics apply to Maria Valtorta whose human deficiencies He compensates.&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;The wise men of my Church (the doctors of the Church) have established and said of those who experience an extraordinary life that, while they are in Ecstasy — whether complete or incomplete to allow them to dictate or write the revelations they receive —, the capacity of their intelligence to apprehend, understand, and express increases, and that, once out of their Ecstasy, they recover their own intelligence.<br /> <br /> This is what happens in my little John (nickname given to Maria Valtorta), &quot;an eagle when I possess him, a little dove when I no longer invade him with my splendors.&quot;<br /> <br /> It is also said and established that, although the revelation made by God to a Soul chosen for a supernatural and extraordinary Mission is always perfect, it may nevertheless be interpreted and reported with secondary errors by the creature, and this is because divine or heavenly perfection mixes and is confused with the insufficiency of the creature, so that some details may be altered. ''It is for this reason that I watch over it, just like the guardian angel of little John''&lt;ref name=&quot;:2&quot;&gt;Her guardian angel is Azarias. She saw him for the first time on January 4, 1932, when she was suffocating from carbon monoxide from a stove. In her fall, she fortunately breaks a window and her angel diverts her from a fall onto bottles (flasks) where her throat would have been cut. (''Autobiography'', pp. 382-383). He is undoubtedly the one who forms the &quot;second voice&quot; she speaks of and who comments or clarifies certain points for her.&lt;/ref&gt;, to restore the thought as it was dictated and when it was interrupted by external causes and then involuntarily badly restored by the spokesperson.''<br /> <br /> But I repeat: as it was delivered to you, the Work reports the exact and complete truth of my teaching&quot;.&lt;ref name=&quot;:1&quot;&gt;[https://imitationjesuschrist.forumactif.com/t19p330-les-cahiers-de-maria-valtorta#14399 ''The Notebooks from 1945 to 1950'', December 6, 1947].&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Several '''doctors of the Church''' have pronounced on the increased capacities during Ecstasy; '''Saint Thomas Aquinas''' (1225-1274), in the Summa Theologica&lt;ref&gt;''Summa Theologica'', IIa-IIae, [https://www.documentacatholicaomnia.eu/03d/1225-1274,_Thomas_Aquinas,_Summa_Theologiae-Secunda_Secundae,_EN.pdf Question 173, Articles 3-4], pp. 931-933.&lt;/ref&gt; affirms that, during the ecstatic state, cognitive capacities can be elevated by a divine light, although human intelligence remains distinct from direct divine knowledge. '''Saint Teresa of Avila''' (1515-1582), in ''The Interior Castle''&lt;ref&gt;''The Interior Castle,'' [https://livres-mystiques.com/partieTEXTES/Avila/ChatWater/demeure6.html sixth dwelling, chapter IV] : ''On the state of prayer where God suspends the Soul in rapture, or Ecstasy, or the transport, which are, in her view, one and the same. The great courage required to receive high manifestations of His Majesty.''&lt;/ref&gt;, explains how, during moments of Ecstasy, the Soul is in deep union with God, receiving revelations and special Graces. She also notes that, although Ecstasy may suspend bodily senses, intellect and will remain active, allowing the Soul to comprehend and express the spiritual experiences lived. '''Saint John of the Cross''' (1542-1591), in ''The Ascent of Carmel''&lt;ref&gt;''The Ascent of Carmel,'' [https://livres-mystiques.com/partieTEXTES/JdelaCroix/Carmel/livre3.htm Book III, chapter XIII], ''where spiritual knowledge is discussed as residing in memory.''&lt;/ref&gt;, emphasizes that, during Ecstasy, the Soul is raised beyond its natural capacities, receiving a divine illumination that allows it to understand deep spiritual truths. After Ecstasy, although the Soul returns to its ordinary state, it retains a lively memory of the revelations received, enabling it to express and share them. '''Saint Augustine''' (354-430), in his ''Confessions''&lt;ref&gt;''Confessions'', Book X, transformation in Augustine's Soul, [https://www.bibliotheque-monastique.ch/bibliotheque/bibliotheque/saints/augustin/confessions/livre10.htm#_Toc509574580 chapter VIII, on memory.]&lt;/ref&gt;, describes how, in moments of deep contemplation, the intellect is illuminated, allowing a deeper understanding of divine truths. Although these experiences are transitory, they leave a lasting impression on the Soul, facilitating subsequent expression of the revelations received.<br /> <br /> === It is an initiative of God ===<br /> This immersion in The Spirit is not linked to a particular practice, prayer for instance, and even less to transcendental practices: it is an initiative of God who intervenes in a fundamental and constant attitude of availability:&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;It often happens to me that inspirations, counsels, voices resonate in my Heart just at the moment when I am busy with things very different from the spiritual realm. When I pray, it is difficult to hear them. Whereas when I write, read, work, eat, play with my little animals, speak with so-and-so or such, there explodes in my Soul a word... It may depend on the fact that whatever I am doing, my deep self always remains fixed in one place, and nothing can tear it away from its life which consists in God. I do not know. I believe it is like that&quot;.&lt;ref&gt;''Autobiography'', p. 405.&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> === The rapture is adapted to human capacities ===<br /> In one of her earliest comments, Azarias, Maria Valtorta’s guardian angel&lt;ref name=&quot;:2&quot; /&gt; confirms that the visions appeal to human senses which God &quot;increases&quot; in a proportion compatible with humanity. These visions are relative but not absolute:&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;What you see and know seems so good to you that you are dizzy. I could grant you an understanding, a visual and auditory extension even broader to increase your joy amid the tribulations of your immolation. But it would still be a ''relative'' knowledge. Even in human things, you know that one cannot pressure a boiler, for example, a gear, and so on beyond a certain limit, otherwise the experience becomes destruction. The same applies regarding extraordinary things: one cannot obtain the maximum, ''the all,'' because man could not withstand a single moment ''of complete knowledge, of perfect vision of heaven and its divine mysteries&quot;.''&lt;ref&gt;''[http://www.maria-valtorta.org/Azarias/Azarias02.htm#BWater Book of Azarias]'', Quinquagesima Sunday, p. 15.&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Great saints like Padre Pio&lt;ref&gt;Letter of August 26, 1912, to Father Agostino of San Marco in Lamis: &quot;I have lived many of these passionate love outbursts, and I remained for a while as if out of this world. Other times, this Fire was less intense, but that time, one instant, one second more, and my Soul would have separated from my body… it would have left with Jesus.&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; or Thérèse of Lisieux&lt;ref&gt;''Story of a Soul'', chapter 12: &quot;I felt at a moment as if wounded by a dart of such ardent fire that ''I thought I would die''. There is no comparison possible to adequately convey the intensity of this flame. It seemed to me that an invisible force immersed me wholly in the Fire… And what a Fire it was! What sweetness! [...] while, the day I speak of, one instant, one more second, and ''my Soul would have separated from my body''… &quot;&lt;/ref&gt;, plunged into the incandescence of Love, express it in similar terms: if the Ecstasy they lived had continued, they would have died. This rapture known by Maria Valtorta and which, pushed to the limits, leads Padre Pio and Thérèse of Lisieux to the threshold of death, is the one that caused the dormition of the Virgin Mary. She &quot;died&quot; from intense love, as she explains.&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.maria-valtorta.org/Publication/TOME%2010/10-037.htm#CEV65101 EMV 651.1] : &quot;Was I dead? Yes, if by dead one means the separation from the body of the noble part of the spirit. No, if death means separation from the body of the Soul that vivifies it, the corruption of matter no longer vivified by the Soul, and first of all the gloomy character of the tomb and, foremost among all these things, the pain of death. How I died, or rather how I passed from Earth to Heaven, first with the immortal part, then with the perishable one? As was just for Her who never knew the stain of sin.&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;And if the Fire (of Ecstasy) is kept within the limits God sets to keep creatures on Earth at His service, one can live and burn, finding in its ardor not exhaustion but a fulfillment of life. But when God removes the limits and lets the divine Fire the freedom to penetrate and attract the spirit to Him without measure, then the spirit, in turn responding without measure to Love, separates from matter and flies where Love pushes and invites it. And it is the end of exile and the return to the Homeland.&quot;&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.maria-valtorta.org/Publication/TOME%2010/10-037.htm#CEV65102 EMV 651.2].&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> == Characterization of the work ==<br /> <br /> === Visions and dictations have distinct forms ===<br /> On January 5, 1944, the historical visions of the life of Jesus and Mary begin. They start precisely with the vision of the Assumption.&lt;ref&gt;The Visions and Dictations of Maria Valtorta lasted daily until November 1950, when Pope Pius XII proclaimed the Dogma of the Assumption.&lt;/ref&gt; This is the first contact of Maria Valtorta with this type of rapture. Ten months later, she notes:&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;This morning, I feel this ''active joy'' which in me is always the prelude to Jesus' word. I have a ''passive joy'' when I rejoice in His Presence, without being called to serve Him. I have an active joy when an indescribable impression tells me: &quot;He calls you, serve Him&quot;... And then, I move to the real work, properly speaking: writing under dictation or describing what presents itself to me. If it is a dictation related to a passage in the Bible, Jesus first makes me open the Book to the passage He wants to explain... If it is the vision that presents itself, it begins with an initial image which is generally the climax of the vision, and then unfolds following the order. When the vision develops in order, I start at the beginning, when it begins at the climax, I describe that point, and then what precedes and follows it&quot;.&lt;ref&gt;''The Notebooks of 1944'', October 11, p.580.&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Dictations are clearly introduced by the phrase &quot;Jesus says&quot; and visions by &quot;I see, or I see again&quot;: they cannot be confused. Note also the biblical reference that guides the dictations. This proximity with Scripture is a strong line of Maria Valtorta's visions and revelations.<br /> <br /> === Faithfulness of Maria Valtorta's narration to the vision she receives ===<br /> Private revelations are not considered a historical source, which is admissible, except in one case: where the private revelation presents all the characteristics of authenticity. It then becomes the exact witness of a vanished reality like the light still visible from an extinct star or the archaeological traces resurfaced. Among the many examples that support the trustworthiness of Maria Valtorta's knowledge not attributable to human knowledge, note Olivier Bonnassies' statement&lt;ref&gt;Marie of Nazareth, June 10, 2016, ''[https://youtu.be/1b4RKkh1qNY?list=PLDTEg-vBp-6poRqNaXzcbVVfPPYvCjeFJ Maria Valtorta, a gift of God validated by science],'' video 27 minutes.&lt;/ref&gt;: The probability that the exact calendrical clues provided by Maria Valtorta which allow dating Jesus' life are due to chance is equivalent to the total atoms in the universe, about 10 to the power 80 (10 followed by 80 zeros). Likewise, that she could cover by her narratives the 373 narrative units of the Gospel is unique in the &quot;lives of Jesus&quot;, but this in itself is not extraordinary since she knew it &quot;by Heart&quot;&lt;ref&gt;She read it only at age 25, hindered by her mother. ''Autobiography'', pp. 298-299.&lt;/ref&gt;. But what is unique and extraordinary at once is that her narratives make reference (implicit or explicit) to 1166 chapters of the Bible out of 1334 that make it up (in its Catholic version). She had received her first Bible only in 1942 and had not fully read it at the time of the visions.<br /> <br /> ==== Synchronism ====<br /> <br /> The time lag between vision and writing caused severe damage in the historical narration of [[Marie d'Agréda and Maria Valtorta|Marie d'Agréda]], spiritual narration being preserved. Maria Valtorta describes the synchronism between these two moments. This is all the more important since she does not revise the account once done.&lt;ref&gt;If there are precisions to add, she writes them on separate slips during the re-reading of the typed texts by Father Romualdo Migliorini.&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;I can finally write what occupies my mental vision and my mental hearing from the beginning of dawn this morning... For, I have said several times and I repeat it, when I cannot continue or start the account of what I see, the scene stops from the beginning or exactly at the point where I am interrupted, to unfold again when I am free to follow it. I believe God wants this to avoid omissions or errors in detail, something that could happen if I wrote some time after seeing. I affirm consciously that what I write, because I see or hear it, I write while I see or hear it&quot;.&lt;ref&gt;[https://www.maria-valtorta.org/Publication/TOME%2005/05-051.htm#CEV36101 EMV 361.1].&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== Detail precisions ====<br /> Jesus insists on the meticulousness that Maria must apply when reporting details. It is indeed what forms the astonishment of [[Abbé René Laurentin and Maria Valtorta|Mgr René Laurentin]]: &quot;Maria Valtorta's account seems to confirm that she really had a vision of the life of Christ two thousand years ago. These convergences between her accounts – apparently quite free – and historical, geographical, sociological, zoological, botanical, chronological reality raise the question: How does Maria Valtorta, without culture, degrees, erudition, retrieve the most hidden data of two millennia ago? It does not seem explainable by chance&quot;.&lt;ref&gt;René Laurentin, François-Michel Debroise, Jean-François Lavère, &quot;''[[Dictionary of Gospel Characters|Dictionary of Gospel Characters, by Maria Valtorta]]''&quot;, introduction, 2012, Salvator, p. 22.&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Jesus said: (...)<br /> However, Maria, I have chosen you for the role of divulgator of my Divinity, with its various manifestations, to those who need to be awakened and led to glimpse God: therefore remember to be meticulous to the highest degree when you repeat to them what you see. The slightest trifle has value and is not ''yours,'' but ''mine''. Therefore, you are not allowed to keep it to yourself. It would be dishonest and selfish. Remember that you are the reservoir of the divine Water into which this Water flows so that ''all'' may come to draw from it.<br /> <br /> Regarding dictations, you have achieved the fullest fidelity. In contemplations, you observe a lot but, in your haste to write and because of your particular health and entourage conditions, you sometimes omit certain details. You must not do that. Put them in a footnote, but write ''all'' of them. This is not a reproach, but a gentle advice from your Master.<br /> <br /> (...)<br /> <br /> The more meticulous and precise you are, the more numerous those who will come to Me and the greater your present spiritual happiness as well as your eternal happiness to come.&lt;ref&gt;''The Notebooks of 1944'', January 25, p. 95.&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== Reproach to those who want to confuse errors with typos. ====<br /> Jesus repeats this directive on care regarding details to Mary’s servites for transcription of dictations to avoid any error. He points out the deviations of some in the exercise of Discernment:&lt;blockquote&gt;Jesus said: (...) I cannot allow this work to be treated as a joke, or little better, nor to remain in manuscript form, that is, neither typed nor corrected. We are dealing with a narrow and evil world — even in ecclesiastical circles —, a world that hardly cares to reread these writings to recognize my Presence and approve them but which focuses all its attention on scrutinizing the work solely to find a word that could pass for a theological or merely historical error, whether due to the uncertain handwriting of the writer or an error of the copyist. It is the pure truth. So I act so that their animosity is thwarted&lt;ref&gt;''[http://www.maria-valtorta.org/Quaderni/460121.htm The Notebooks from 1945 to 1950]'', January 21, 1946, p. 169.&lt;/ref&gt;.&lt;/blockquote&gt;There are &quot;uncertain writings&quot; of Maria Valtorta in some specialized words which she transcribes phonetically, for instance [[Beth midrash|''Bel'' ''Midrash'']] or ''[[Shem Hamphoras|Sciemanflorasc]],'' or in objects she does not know such as the tool she calls ''[[Anachronisms#Termes techniques inadaptés|screwdriver]].'' &quot;The copyist's error&quot; appears in translator initiatives such as [[Anachronisms#Initiatives du traducteur|''Jockey'']]. Other &quot;errors&quot; are based on ignorance of the historical context, like the [https://www.maria-valtorta.org/Publication/TOME%2004/04-121.htm#_ftn6 Kiss on the mouth].<br /> <br /> === The work clearly exceeds Maria Valtorta's capacities ===<br /> Jesus draws attention&lt;ref name=&quot;:1&quot; /&gt; to the gap between the conditions under which Maria writes and the result obtained. He notes some details observable on the original notebooks (see the example illustrated in this article):&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;I say that the valid proof that ''it is not you'' who writes according to your thoughts and personal knowledge is provided by the lines inserted between two lines and visible corrections noticed on the dictations. They are caused ''by the physical and sometimes even mental weakness'' of a sick spokesperson, burdened by seven chronic diseases which sometimes reawaken, fully or partially, causing suffering and mortal weakness to the writer; they also come ''from material disturbances due to the entourage'' of the spokesperson, who writes in environment conditions neither peaceful nor convenient; finally, they are ''essentially due to the difference between the impetuosity of the &quot;voices&quot;,'' which sometimes dictate quickly, ''and the possibilities of a weakened hand to follow them.''<br /> <br /> What happens in these cases? Some passages are interrupted and some sentences omitted. The spokesperson tries to remember them while following me — me or other voices —, to add them once the vision is finished. But when he does, he no longer succeeds exactly and forgets the words spoken or else writes them badly, not as they were dictated&quot;.&lt;ref name=&quot;:1&quot; /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;This distinction between Maria Valtorta’s own words and those of Heaven has been highlighted by Italian scholars&lt;ref&gt;Professors Emilio Matricciani and Liberato De Caro, [[Mathematical Analysis of Maria Valtorta's Writings]].&lt;/ref&gt;. Jesus, in continuation of the dictation, then details how Heaven compensates for these lacks and His mode of intervention:&lt;blockquote&gt;''&quot;It is then that the Master comes to his aid.'' I order you to Believe these words, I order you by my full majesty of God and as divine Master, who can command His subjects as He ordered His patriarchs and prophets what not to do as well as what to Believe and execute to be his chosen people on earth and His eternal sons in the eternal Kingdom.<br /> <br /> ''So I come to his aid, I, Jesus, or the guardian angel of the spokesperson,'' the venerable assistant of celestial manifestations, whose angelic intelligence is not subject to the human fatigue and weaknesses of the spokesperson. For the latter, as much as he must be the beloved little John whom I love with extraordinary love, he remains a human creature. ''That is why we come to the aid of God’s instrument, we complete the passages that remain interrupted, fill the gaps of sentences or sayings anew, from beginning to end, those passages that the will, good but ignorant, of the spokesperson has altered, and we reconstruct the lessons as they were given and heard. It follows'' — and I order you to Believe it — ''that the Work reports exactly my thought, my acts, my manifestations, as well as the words and acts of my Mother, the Twelve, and all who surrounded me and surrounded us all&quot;.''&lt;ref name=&quot;:1&quot; /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> === Maria Valtorta's humanity serves the authenticity of the visions ===<br /> After affirming that Maria Valtorta's work reports &quot;the exact and complete truth&quot; of His teaching, Jesus answers certain objections going against it. He explains how the humanity of Maria Valtorta, which sometimes appears in her narratives, serves the authenticity He affirms.&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;One will object: &quot;The Lord could grant the writer strength, speed, memory, intellectual capacity, as well as tranquility around her, to avoid these inconvenient retouches.&quot;<br /> <br /> I could grant all, even clear and assured writing. But I refused it to prevent you from saying: &quot;The writing is not shaky, one distinguishes neither fatigue nor slowness in the way of writing, ''therefore'' the alleged infirmities of the spokesperson are simulation.&quot; Some already say it... I did not want to allow it to prevent you from saying: &quot;There is no phrase added, no error in adding them, ''therefore'' the spokesperson is not one, he is a human author who knows what he wants to write because he learned it elsewhere or thanks to his personal capacities.&quot; Some already say it...<br /> <br /> I answer to that: &quot;It is not so. But if it were the case, it would prove that if, by these personal capacities, ignorant as he is, little John [Maria Valtorta] says divine words, it is evident that the Author of wisdom, the Holy Spirit, lives in him with the fullness of His gifts. So, once again, the Work is the word of God&lt;ref&gt;Word of God &quot;inspired,&quot; not &quot;revealed.&quot; See what Jesus says: &quot;The work delivered to men through little John [Maria Valtorta] ''is not a canonical book''. Nevertheless, ''it is an inspired book'' which I grant you to help understand certain passages of the canonical books, and especially what my time as Master was, finally so that you know me, ''I who am the Word, by my words''.&quot; (''[https://www.maria-valtorta.org/Quaderni/470128.htm#EMV Les Notebooks from 1945 to 1950]'', January 28, 1947, p. 317) | Moreover, the assertion that &quot;the Holy Spirit, ''lives'' in her&quot; is illustrated in the [[Commentaries on the Apocalypse]] inserted at the end of the ''[[Notebooks from 1945 to 1950]]''. Its 70 pages full of assurance and depth astonish, have been attributed to The Holy Spirit but, on reading, one realizes that the author is human speaking of Adam as his ancestor and saying &quot;we&quot; to designate the human race. This point is clarified here with Jesus' assertion: The Spirit lives in her (and not dwells in her) and is connected to the testimonies of Maria Valtorta’s holiness.&lt;/ref&gt;.<br /> <br /> I could do everything, even destroy this work and dictate it anew. It would be the exact repetition (for the passages ''dictated'' by supernatural voices) of the one that will have been destroyed.<br /> <br /> The only differences that one would find would be the terms used by the spokesperson to describe places and episodes&lt;ref&gt;This is what happened with Marie d'Agréda's visions: the first narration was burned on a confessor's order. The second one, the one we know, was written 35 years after the visions. The Spirit provided for the spiritual part, but the historical part suffered human interferences (memories, pressures, prejudices, etc...). (''[[Marie d'Agréda and Maria Valtorta#Style|The Notebooks of 1944]]'' – September 12, p. 568).&lt;/ref&gt;. It would be the exact repetition of the destroyed work, just as happened for the prophecies of Jeremiah burned by Jehoiakim, king of Judah&lt;ref&gt;[https://bible.usccb.org/bible/jeremiah/36 Jeremiah 36:32]&lt;/ref&gt;. But you would then scream: &quot;You see well that the spokesperson is not inspired, he receives nothing from the heavenly voices, but he writes by himself!&quot; And you would seek to demolish a Peace and a work. The Peace of the spokesperson. The work of your Lord God&quot;.&lt;ref name=&quot;:1&quot; /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Maria Valtorta benefits from an &quot;incomplete&quot; Ecstasy in the sense that her state renders the visions accessible to her but instead of being &quot;annihilated&quot; in this Ecstasy, she keeps the faculty to transcribe them while they unfold.<br /> <br /> === A private revelation is first of all a revelation ===<br /> It has been exposed [[Private Revelations and the Church#The contradictory home of private revelations|elsewhere]] how the blunt phrase on private revelations retained as the only conclusion of the Synod on the Word of God and drowned in a proposition largely devoted to &quot;The Bible and the phenomenon of sects,&quot; was unfortunate and shocking. Sister Faustina Kowalska and her ''Diary'' seemed to join Joseph Smith and his ''Book of Mormon'' in the same undifferentiated opprobrium. But the Magisterium, both under Benedict XVI and Francis, has published several texts and interventions recalling the usefulness of these revelations in the announcement of the Gospel. Jesus, in Maria Valtorta, warns against disdain or opposition which were already manifesting when Maria Valtorta's writings were made. Neither is the mark of the Discernment requested by the Magisterium.&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;Ah, I truly feel indignation before certain thoughts, certain acts or judgments made on my will and on my little John! I tell you in truth that knowledge has placed thick scales on your eyes and brought lethargy to your intelligence, so much so that you do not recognize me where I shine as Master and as God.<br /> <br /> Do not grieve the Holy Spirit, whose friendship you very much need, by denying His action — every revelation and inspired work has the Paraclete as the author —, by attacking or opposing one of His tabernacles. The wise men of Israel also fought and persecuted the visible Holy Spirit in the words and actions of the Word, but no good came out of it for them.<br /> <br /> I said: &quot;Every sin or blasphemy will be forgiven to the one who repents, except the blasphemy Against the Holy Spirit. What is said Against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but what is said and done Against the Holy Spirit will not be.&quot; These words still contain the first commandments, by fulfilling which one obtains eternal life: &quot;Love your God with all your being. Love your Neighbor.&quot;<br /> <br /> Love: salvation. No love: offense to divine Love, that is to say to the Holy Spirit in person or present in His living Temples, your Neighbor. Contesting His words or misunderstanding them is to offend Love. Persecuting one of His instruments is to offend Love who knows wisely why He has chosen this instrument&quot;.&lt;ref name=&quot;:1&quot; /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;The new ''[https://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/congregations/cfaith/documents/rc_ddf_doc_20240517_norme-fenomeni-soprannaturali_en.html procedural norms for Discernment of presumed supernatural phenomena]'', wisely subtitled: &quot;''Listening to The Spirit at work in the faithful people of God&quot;'' do not seek so much to determine whether a private revelation is supernatural or not, but to know, ''through Discernment'', if it is of prudent faith.&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;Most sanctuaries, which today are privileged places of popular piety of the People of God, have never known, in the course of the devotion expressed there, a declaration of the supernatural character of the facts which gave rise to this devotion. The ''sensus fidelium'' has felt that there was an action of the Holy Spirit, and no major critical points have appeared requiring the intervention of the Shepherds.<br /> <br /> In many cases, the Presence of the Bishop and priests at certain moments, such as Pilgrimages or the celebration of certain Masses, has been an implicit way to recognize that there were no serious objections and that this spiritual experience exercised a positive influence on the life of the faithful.<br /> <br /> In any case, a ''Nihil obstat'' allows Shepherds to act without doubt or hesitation to be beside the People of God in the home of the gifts of the Holy Spirit which may arise amid these events. The expression “in the midst of”, used in the new ''Norms'', allows understanding that, even if no declaration of supernaturalness on the event itself is made, one clearly recognizes the signs of a supernatural action of the Holy Spirit in the context of what is happening. (presentation, ''Recognition of an action of the Spirit).' '&lt;/blockquote&gt;And, in these same norms, the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith defines this ''minimum'' of a &quot;supernatural action of the Holy Spirit&quot;.&lt;blockquote&gt;'''17.''' ''Nihil obstat —'' Even if no certainty is expressed regarding the supernatural authenticity of the phenomenon, many signs of an action of the Holy Spirit &quot;in the midst of&quot;&lt;ref&gt;The Dicastery specifies: The expression &quot;in the midst of&quot; does not mean &quot;by means of&quot; or &quot;through&quot;, but indicates that in a given context, not necessarily of supernatural origin, the Holy Spirit operates good things.&lt;/ref&gt; a given spiritual experience are recognized, and no particularly critical or risky aspect has been detected, at least so far. That is why the diocesan Bishop is encouraged to appreciate the pastoral value and to promote the dissemination of this spiritual proposal, including through possible Pilgrimages to a sacred place.&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> == Characterization of &quot;the instrument&quot;: Maria Valtorta ==<br /> The visions and revelations must also be described by the way Maria Valtorta receives them and positions herself in relation to them. Indeed, these are important criteria of Discernment regarding their authenticity&lt;ref&gt;Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, [https://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/congregations/cfaith/documents/rc_ddf_doc_20240517_norme-fenomeni-soprannaturali_en.html ''Procedural norms for Discernment of presumed supernatural phenomena'']: &quot;Art. 14 – Among the ''positive'' criteria, one must not neglect to appreciate: 1. The credibility and good reputation of the persons who claim to be recipients of supernatural facts or to be directly involved in such facts, as well as heard witnesses. Particular regard should be given to psychic balance, honesty and rectitude in moral life, sincerity, humility and usual docility towards ecclesiastical authority, availability to collaborate with it, promotion of a spirit of authentic ecclesial communion. 2. The doctrinal orthodoxy of the phenomenon and any associated message. 3. The unpredictability of the phenomenon, from which it clearly emerges that it is not the result of the initiative of the persons involved. 4. The Fruits of Christian life. Among them, the existence of a spirit of prayer, conversions, vocations to the priesthood and religious life, testimonies of charity, as well as healthy devotion and abundant and constant spiritual Fruits. The contribution of these Fruits to the growth of ecclesial communion must be evaluated.&lt;/ref&gt;.<br /> <br /> === Maria Valtorta is first in &quot;fear&quot; of the privilege falling to her ===<br /> One month after having benefited from the first dictations from Heaven (the visions came later), Maria Valtorta explains to her confessor, Father Romualdo Migliorini, the source of her inspiration. She is very aware of what happens to her:&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;Not long ago, you told me to write anew. The physical effort is nothing compared to the moral effort I have to accomplish to lift the veils behind which the supernatural hides. Why? For many reasons.         <br /> <br /> The first is that it seems almost like profanation to reveal God's secrets in me. And I always fear that this proclamation will earn me a punishment: being deprived of divine caresses and divine words…   <br /> <br /> The second reason is a remnant of human mistrust, towards myself and others: what I perceive as “supernatural” should perhaps be judged as illusion by me and as delirium by others. I have been called mad so many times that it is possible that I continue to be classified in this category.           <br /> <br /> The third reason is that I am fearful of these manifestations. The dreadful fear that it is a trick. Is it possible that I, who am nothing, may deserve such manifestations from my King? And also fear that they awaken Pride in me. I feel that if I should become proud, even for a moment, I would be punished for it&quot;.&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot;&gt;''[https://www.maria-valtorta.org/Quaderni/430513.htm The Notebooks of 1943]'', May 13, p. 17.&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;This first reaction is also found in the [[Marie d'Agréda and Maria Valtorta|Venerable Marie d'Agréda]] who confesses in her introduction that she hesitated ten years before yielding to the revelations made to her: &quot;the Most High told me He held hidden several mysteries that He had worked for this divine Queen, and several manifestations He made to her as salt(?) when she was still journeying among mortals; and He wanted to reveal them to me, so that I might write them as she would teach me. Yet I resisted for ten years against this divine will, until I began for the first time to write this divine history&quot;.&lt;ref&gt;Marie d'Agreda, [https://www.bibliotheque-monastique.ch/bibliotheque/bibliotheque/saints/marieagreda/tome01/introduction.htm#_Toc31536646 ''The Mystical City of God''], introduction, § 8.&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> === Narrator of the visions, she is not their initiator ===<br /> In this same initial text&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot; /&gt;, Maria Valtorta exposes her Discernment on the origin of the revelations made to her and affirms: &quot;There must be nothing of me.&quot;&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;And now that I have told you the reasons why I do not like to talk about it (the revelations), I will tell you those which make me feel that I am not a naive person who takes her fantasies for supernatural truths and demonic words for divine words: I have certainty because of the sweetness and the Peace that fill me after these words, these caresses, the force that takes hold of me, forcing me to listen to and write them without being able to change one word… And always at moments which escape all will on my part of listening to these things … One does not negotiate with this gentle power...<br /> <br /> &quot;There is nothing that comes from me. … (Jesus) makes himself heard when he wants. If I am taken by something else, to something he urges me to accomplish, I must stop and occupy myself only with Him. Likewise, if, consistent with my style, I prefer a certain formulation to another and try to change it, I am incapable. It is said a certain way and remains so.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> And as Father Romualdo Migliorini urges her to write down her past revelations, she decides: &quot;It would be impossible for me to repeat those words now with exactness and so I will not repeat them. ''There must be nothing of me''.&quot;<br /> <br /> === &quot;The slavery of God's instruments&quot; ===<br /> Although the joy of sharing 'the king's secrets' is immense, it is accompanied by strict mystical discipline which Jesus wishes to explain to those interested, sometimes clumsily, in Maria Valtorta and her work. As for her, Maria seldom complains:&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;You, men, if you knew what slavery it is to be God's instrument! A holy slavery, but absolute! The slavery of a galley slave. It entails sleep, hunger, suffering, fatigue, desire to think of something else, to read writings which are not words of supernatural source, to speak and hear ordinary things, the desire to be and live like everyone else, ''even just one day: all this, the inexorable burning of God's will prevents from having it and realizing it.'' On all this, the spite of men deposits its salt and acid, as if the galley master put salt and vinegar on the burns of his slaves.&quot;&lt;ref name=&quot;:3&quot;&gt;''[https://www.maria-valtorta.org/Quaderni/440924.htm#Esclavage The Notebooks of 1944]'', September 24, p. 566.&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;This excerpt also deserves to be added to the file of Maria Valtorta's holiness. In this same dictation from [https://www.maria-valtorta.org/Quaderni/440924.htm Sunday, September 24, 1944], Jesus gives his instructions for the dissemination of the work he called &quot;explosive&quot;.&lt;ref&gt;''The Notebooks of 1943'', December 9, p. 572&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;But you, have no hurry. Be ''patient'' and ''attentive, prudent'' and ''gentle.'' I tell you again. ''If I allow you,'' to those closest to you, ''to draw freely for the needs of your ministry and for the uplifting of crowds overwhelmed'' by current life, ''you must never forget'' that it is not only ''your'' interests at stake here, ''but those of God,'' who wants to shine in his creature with his power and wisdom.

Some passages are interrupted and some sentences omitted. The spokesperson tries to remember them while following me — me or other voices —, to add them once the vision is finished. But when he does, he no longer succeeds exactly and forgets the words spoken or else writes them badly, not as they were dictated (p.441). […] It is then that the Master comes to his aid. That is why we come to the aid of God's instrument, we complete the passages that remain interrupted, fill the gaps of sentences or sayings anew, from beginning to end, those passages that the will, good but ignorant, of the spokesperson has altered, and we reconstruct the lessons as they were given and heard. It follows — and I order you to Believe it — that the Work reports exactly my thought, my acts, my manifestations, as well as the words and acts of [[Virgin Mary|my Mother]], the Twelve, and all who surrounded me and surrounded us all. Accept the Work calmly as I have given it to you. It is right, and it is supernatural (p.442). […] If the [[Satan|demon]] does not try to corrupt the words of the Work by spitting its venom on it, it is also because it is aware it would be a useless task, since I watch and protect my Word as my instrument. Moreover, I have set limits to the Destroyer that the Accursed cannot cross (p. 443). […] It is also said and established that, although the revelation made by God to a Soul chosen for a supernatural and extraordinary Mission is always perfect, it may nevertheless be interpreted and reported with secondary errors by the creature, and this is because divine or heavenly perfection mixes and is confused with the insufficiency of the creature, so that some details may be altered. This is why I watch over it, just like the guardian angel of little John, to restore the thought as it was dictated and when it was interrupted by external causes and then involuntarily badly restored by the spokesperson.
