Dear Reader,
Come with me to different times and places: Palestine two millennia ago and WWII Italy, where Jesus taught.
Oh! You think you’ve heard it all before…But how could you? St. John at the end of his Gospel says, “But there are also many other things which Jesus did; which, if they were written every one, the world itself, I think, would not be able to contain the books that should be written.” Maria Valtorta’s writings are among those books.
Come with me then… to learn… and yearn for what’s beneath the layers upon layers of human varnish and fill in the gaps that time has eroded.
See, hear, smell, feel what Maria Valtorta experienced when she wrote at the command of Jesus, her Love. He chose her as His spokesman for this age, the final age… Why? Because we need it. Look around!
Read, and tell me (if you can) you’ve heard it all before. I say, to know Him is to love Him.
I read, I write, to etch the Word on my heart. Come with me…
