Frequently Asked Questions

The supernatural origin of Maria Valtorta's visions, as described in "The Gospel as Revealed to Me," is supported by several compelling pieces of evidence:

  1. Accuracy of astronomical details: A physics professor from Purdue University analyzed the lunar phases and astronomical observations in the visions and found them to be remarkably accurate and consistent with the dates and the dating system used by Valtorta.
  2. Detailed knowledge of the Holy Land: Despite never having visited the Holy Land, Valtorta's descriptions of geographical locations, topography, and geological features are incredibly precise, surprising experts in these fields.

  4. Detailed knowledge of ancient cultures: The work demonstrates an unparalleled understanding of the political, religious, economic, social, and familial situations, as well as the dress, of the ancient Jewish, Samaritan, and Roman peoples.
  5. Volume and speed of writing: The sheer volume of work, over 15,000 handwritten pages produced in just 3.5 years, is remarkable considering Valtorta's severe physical limitations and lack of access to resources.
  6. Perfect correspondence to the Shroud of Turin: The detailed descriptions of Christ's Passion in Valtorta's visions perfectly match the findings on the Shroud of Turin, which were revealed decades after her writings were published.
  7. Testimonies and approvals: Many respected theologians, priests, and even Popes have expressed their approval of the work, with some even attesting to its supernatural origin.

These are just some of the proofs that point to the supernatural origin of Maria Valtorta's visions. The combination of scientific accuracy, theological depth, and sheer volume of work, all produced under challenging circumstances, makes a strong case for divine inspiration.

The astronomy in Maria Valtorta's The Gospel as Revealed to Me is remarkably accurate and internally consistent, according to several experts.  

Dr. Lonnie Lee Van Zandt, a professor of theoretical physics at Purdue University, analyzed the astronomical observations, lunar phase sequencing, and other celestial details in Valtorta's visions. He concluded that these details align with her dating system to a degree that would have been impossible to achieve without the use of a computer, a technology not available to Valtorta in the 1940s when she was writing.  

Despite some minor discrepancies between Valtorta's descriptions and modern astronomical calculations, the overall accuracy and complexity of the astronomical data in her writings remain a significant point of interest for researchers and believers alike.

Jean Aulagnier's book, The Diary of Jesus, is an insightful work that delves into the chronological intricacies of Maria Valtorta's The Gospel as Revealed to Me. Published in 1985, the book is the culmination of five years of Aulagnier's dedicated scientific research, focusing on the astronomical and geographical details embedded within Valtorta's writings.

A specialist in ancient calendars, Aulagnier meticulously analyzes the chronological sequence of events in The Gospel as Revealed to Me, providing a detailed and structured timeline of Jesus's life and ministry as depicted in Valtorta's visions.

At the end of his research, he states "I found that everything fit almost perfectly. There are only a few events that could possibly be dated differently, but this would in no way detract from the chronology as a whole. All in all, then, I have been able to use Maria Valtorta's writings to establish a precise chronology of Jesus' Public Ministry. This chronology is internally consistent, and is confirmed by all other historical data on the life of Christ." (c.f. Introduction, The Diary of Jesus. Author's italics)

The last section of this work contains a direct message from Jesus. It outlines the reasons behind the revelation given to her and its intended impact on the Church and believers. Here's a breakdown of the main points:

Reasons for the Revelation:

  • To Combat Modernism: The primary reason is to counter the growing influence of modernism within the Church, which denies the supernatural and historical truth of Christian doctrine. This work aims to reaffirm the divinity of Christ, the inerrancy of Scripture, and the importance of the sacraments.
  • To Rekindle Love for the Gospel: It seeks to inspire a renewed love for the Gospel and all things related to Christ, particularly devotion to Mary, the Mother of God.
  • To Guide Spiritual Leaders: It provides insights into different souls and the diverse methods Jesus used to save them, offering guidance for spiritual directors and teachers.
  • To Present the True Humanity of Jesus and Mary: It emphasizes the perfect humanity of Jesus and Mary, free from sin, and their deep love for each other and for God.
  • To Reveal the Fullness of Jesus' Passion: It aims to reveal the full extent of Jesus' suffering, both physical and emotional, and to inspire greater love and compassion for Him and His Mother.
  • To Show the Power of God's Word: It demonstrates how God's Word transforms those who receive it with goodwill, as seen in the apostles' transformation.
  • To Expose the Mystery of Judas: It explores the fall of Judas and the dangers of succumbing to sin, offering a lesson in spiritual discernment.

Call to Action:

  • Embrace the Revelation: Jesus urges readers to accept this work as a gift and not reject its message.
  • Seek Spiritual Renewal: He calls for a reawakening of faith and love, encouraging readers to draw closer to Him through this revelation.
  • Spread the Message: He encourages sharing this work with others to strengthen their faith and prepare them for the coming of the Lord.

In summary, in His explanation, Our Lord emphasizes the urgency and importance of this revelation for the Church and individual believers in a time of spiritual decline. It calls for a renewed commitment to the Gospel, a deeper understanding of Jesus' life and teachings, and a greater reliance on the Holy Spirit.
