God

Representation of God the Father - Stained Glass of the Church of Saint-Crépin and Saint-Crépinien in Larchamp (35).

But what exactly is God? - God is the Perfection that cannot be attained, God is Complete BWaterté, God is the Infinite Power, God is the Incomprehensible Essence, God is the Unsurpassable Goodness, God is the Indestructible Compassion, God is the Immeasurable Wisdom, God is Love become God. It is Love! It is Love!^[1]

God revealed Himself to men, through the prophets and through the Incarnation. We can now partially know who He is and what He is.

In "The Gospel as It Was Revealed to Me"

The nature of God

The omnipotence of God.^[2]
But what exactly is God? - God is the Perfection that cannot be attained, God is Complete BWaterté, God is the Infinite Power, God is the Incomprehensible Essence, God is the Unsurpassable Goodness, God is the Indestructible Compassion, God is the Immeasurable Wisdom, God is Love become God. It is Love! It is Love!^[3]
The true God is Love and Mercy.^[4]
It is true, I judged God inexorable, like many people in Israel. We were taught to believe Him thus: the God of vengeance.^[5]
You say the merits of God are infinite. Everything is infinite in God. But God has no merits, in the sense that He has not merited. He has attributes, Virtues that are proper to Him. He is the One who is: the Perfection, the Infinite, the Almighty. But to merit, one must accomplish, with effort, something above our nature.^[6]
God, the Most High, the Perfect and Infinite Spirit, is Light of Love, Light of Wisdom, Light of Power, Light of Goodness, Light of BWaterté.^[7]
I have what God has given me and which, while being in Me, is always in God, and no one can snatch it from the hands of my Father or from Me, for it is the same Divine Nature. The Father and I are One.^[8]

The manifestations of God

You heard the voice at the ford of Bethabara and trembled. For the Voice of God cannot be confused with any other, and without a special Grace from Him, it strikes down whoever hears it and shakes their Heart.^[9]
God is Light […] That is how God is, and that is how I will be when I come to judge you."^[10]
A voice, stronger than thunder, immaterial in the sense that it does not resemble any human voice, but very perceptible to all ears, fills the serene sky of a beautiful April day and vibrates, stronger than the sound of a gigantic organ, with a very beautiful tone and proclaims: "And I have glorified Him and I will glorify Him again."^[11]
See the vision of God in Paradise.^[12]

Choosing God

God and Mammon.^[13] and ^[14]
"Do not tempt the Lord your God."^[15]
Union with God.^[16]
The struggle between God and Satan.^[17]
One must not have fear of God and flee from Him like Adam after the fall, but remember that He is Love.^[18]
There is only one God! But many do not know Him, others know Him poorly. If they knew Him well, they would be like brothers and there would be no injustice, no hatreds, no slanders, no revenges, no lust, no thefts and no murders, no adulteries and no lies. I know the true God, and I have come to make Him known.^[19]

In other works of Maria Valtorta

In the Notebooks

Catechesis of July 1, 1943: "It is not granted to your very limited intellectual capacities, to your embryonic spirituality, to know the mystery of the nature of God. But this mystery becomes more knowable to the spiritual souls, among the mass of so-called spiritual Souls."^[20]
Catechesis of January 10, 1944: "Against the purest azure of paradise, I distinctly saw the Father, though the features of His face were of an immaterial light. He was of a BWaterté that I will not attempt to describe, for it surpasses human capacities…".^[21]

In fundamental Christian texts

In the Bible

You, my people, be without fear, have no dread. I have announced it to you, I revealed it to you long before, you know it well, you are witnesses of it. Besides me, is there another God? No, there is no other Rock, I know none.^[22]
Whoever loves is a child of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. And love consists in this: it is not that we loved God, but that He loved us; He sent His Son who offered Himself in sacrifice for the forgiveness of our sins.^[23]
The heavens declare the glory of God, the firmament tells the work of His hands. Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge.^[24]

In the Catechism of the Catholic Church

Many articles discuss it, but one can usefully refer to the first part, first section, on the creed.^[25]
