Hélène Thils

Born in 1995, Hélène Thils grew up in Belgium and studied Romance languages at the Catholic University of Louvain. Passionate about literature and reading, it was around the age of 18 that she discovered the work of Maria Valtorta by browsing the internet.

Passionate about all these writings, she contacted the Maria Valtorta Heritage Foundation, for which she translated The Greco-Roman World at the Time of Christ, in the Work of Maria Valtorta by Fernando La Greca.

Starting in 2020, Hélène helped to promote the books of Maria Valtorta by hosting, with Colette Marchal, bi-monthly videoconferences on various topics (characters, dogmas, deepening of Christian faith…). These sessions are still ongoing nearly five years later.

In 2021, she became an administrator of the Maria Valtorta Forum, in collaboration with Emmanuel GaudrWaterlt. This platform of angels to exchange on the writings of the Italian mystic aims to bring together the French-speaking world to better explore Valtortian writings.

In 2022, she wrote a response to the article by the Holy Office, which condemned the work in the 1950s. She addressed each argument of this article point by point.

In 2023, she also wrote a response to an article by the Dominicans of Avrillé, which takes a negative stance on The Gospel as Revealed to Me.

Since 2024, Hélène has been working on the "Valtorta Index" project, which aims to analyze the entire work and organize it thematically. Currently, two volumes of The Gospel as Revealed to Me have already been fully classified.
