About this Website:
This website contains information about the life and works of Maria Valtorta, a famous Italian Catholic mystic who lived from 1897 to 1961. From 1943 to 1951, Valtorta produced about 15,000 handwritten pages in 122 notebooks. Her total writings include a series of almost 700 visions of Jesus’ earthly life with Mary, the Apostles, and many of His contemporaries, about 800 dictations from Jesus, and around 300 other revelations from God the Father, the Holy Spirit, Our Lady, and various angels and saints.
The Gospel as Revealed to Me
The best-known outcome of these works of Maria Valtorta is the epic The Poem of the Man-God (now entitled The Gospel as Revealed to Me in the second English edition), which begins before the birth of Mary and ends after Mary’s Assumption into Heaven. This is the longest, most vivid, and most true-to-life revelation of Our Lord’s and Our Lady’s life ever given to the Church, with its 736 named characters and almost 4,200 printed pages of visions and descriptions of the Gospel. Approximately 98.5% of all the Gospel passages in the canonical Scriptures that relate the lives of Jesus and Mary have been described in unprecedented detail in her work, in addition to an abundance of previously unrecorded events. Her work covers approximately 500 days of Jesus’ 1,200-day Public Ministry, compared with the canonical Gospels, which record only about 141 days.
Global Impact
Maria’s writings have profoundly affected the lives of hundreds of thousands of people around the world, and her work has been translated into over 30 languages. There are a tremendous number of testimonies about her writings from bishops, noteworthy clerics and lay faithful, and even saints.
“Those who have approved/endorsed/praised The Poem of the Man-God/The Gospel as Revealed to Me include Pope Pius XII, 4 cardinals, 14 archbishops, 10 regular bishops, 24 extremely learned clerics or Doctors of Theology/Divinity/Canon Law, 7 Members or Consultants of the Holy Office/Congregation for the Causes of Saints, 7 Saints/Blesseds/Venerables/Servants of God, over 28 university professors, 2 famous television show hosts/media personalities, and countless priests and lay faithful.”
