[[File:Maria_Valtorta2_colorisé.jpg|alt=Maria Valtorta in 1912, colorized|thumb|Maria Valtorta in 1912, colorized]]
'''[[Maria Valtorta]]''', born in [[Wikipedia:Caserta|Caserta]] on March 14, 1897, and died on October 12, 1961 in [[Wikipedia:Viareggio|Viareggio]], was an Italian Catholic mystic. She is the author of [[The Gospel as Revealed to Me]], which recounts the life of [[Jesus]], as well as [[The Work Given to Maria Valtorta|other works]] presenting in the form of [[Visions and Dictations of Maria Valtorta|dictations]] teachings of Jesus, of the [[Virgin Mary|Virgin Mary]], of the [[Holy Spirit, Paraclete, Spirit|Holy Spirit]], of her guardian angel, and of various [[Saint, Holiness, Sanctification|saints]].

For 2000 years, several Catholic mystics have seen snippets of the Gospels. But only three people have had the complete vision: [[Mary of Agreda and Maria Valtorta|Mary of Agreda]] in the 17th century, [[Anne-Catherine Emmerich and Maria Valtorta|Anne-Catherine Emmerich]] in the 19th century, and Maria Valtorta in the 20th century.

Maria Valtorta was the only one of the three to transcribe by her own hand and in real time [[Visions and Dictations of Maria Valtorta|the hundreds of visions]] of the life of Jesus she received. From her bed where she was bedridden, she then produced some 13,000 handwritten pages in 3 and a half years, sometimes writing up to 18 hours in a row, leaving us with the most voluminous biography of Jesus in history.

Although Pope [[Pius XII and Maria Valtorta|Pius XII]], after reading, gave his approval as early as 1948 for the publication of these texts, officials of the Holy Office - thinking it was a fictional and personal production trying to pass as [[The Presumed Private Revelation of Maria Valtorta|revealed]] - opposed the work of Maria Valtorta and put it on the [[The Work of Maria Valtorta and the Church#La mise à l'Index|Index of Forbidden Books]], without formally accusing it of any dogmatic, moral, or historical error.

For 70 years, [[The Work of Maria Valtorta and the Church#L'Home progressif (à partir de 1963)|saints, cardinals, leading theologians and biblical scholars]], as well as a multitude of laypeople from all social backgrounds, have been enthusiastic about [[The Work Given to Maria Valtorta|the work]] of this woman who left as a legacy an "inestimable treasure of universal literature," according to the words of [[Blessed Gabriele M. Allegra and Maria Valtorta|Blessed Gabriele Maria Allegra]], the first translator of the entire Bible into Chinese.

Her main work, [[The Gospel as Revealed to Me|The Gospel as Revealed to Me]], continuously published, is now translated into 30 languages&lt;ref&gt;Including the original language, Italian.&lt;/ref&gt;.

A decade after Maria Valtorta’s death, researchers began to take interest in her texts containing [[:Category:Analysis of the Work's Data|very many biological, geological, astronomical, topographical, cultural details]]. To date&lt;ref&gt;April 2024.&lt;/ref&gt;, 19,930 of these details have been identified as plausible and relevant; and dozens of sites described by Maria Valtorta ([[Gerasa]], [[Bethsaida]], the aqueduct of [[Tiberias]], the synagogue of Biram, the tomb of [[Hillel]], the Jezreel enclosure, the dam of Ptolemais, the palace of [[Lazarus of Bethany|Lazarus]] in [[Jerusalem]], etc.) were excavated or confirmed in excavations, many years after her death. If their authenticity is concluded, Maria Valtorta's writings allow, for the first time, tracing the historical and geographical framework of Jesus Christ’s public life, week by week, village by village, in coherence with the 373 narrative units [[The Presumed Private Revelation of Maria Valtorta#1 - Degree of conformity to the canonical Gospel.|of the four canonical Gospels]] that her visions fully cover without omissions, contradictions, or inconsistencies.

[[The Presumed Private Revelation of Maria Valtorta#For: the endorsement of authoritative theologians.|Ten authoritative theologians]] scrutinized this work thoroughly and found no opinions opposed to the [[Faith, conviction|faith]] or morals, even when novel opinions or new facts were expressed here and there. In this context, they counted explicit or implicit references to [[The Presumed Private Revelation of Maria Valtorta#2 – Degree of biblical apprehension.|1,166 chapters of the Bible]] out of a total of 1,334 it contains. Among these were at least 3,133 references to the Septuagint used at the time of Jesus, even though Maria Valtorta knew nothing of the subject, having left school at age 16 and receiving her first Bible only at age 46, at the moment of her first visions.

No commercial life of Jesus presents such closeness and conformity to the canonical Scriptures.

Maria Valtorta draws her vocation from her mystical Soul, from the Struggles and Trials she had to face to become this "pen of God," humble and docile, as she was nicknamed&lt;ref&gt;"Per obbedienza scrive la sua autobiografia, la prima opera valtortiana, e da qui inizia la sua attività di scrittrice, diventando per diversi anni ''la penna di Dio''. (By obedience, she wrote her Autobiography, the first valtortian work, and from there began her writing activity, becoming ''the pen of God'' for several years)." - ''[https://www.santiebeati.it/dettaglio/91766 Santi e Beati, Maria Valtorta]'' {it} - P. Massimo Cuofano, Servites of Mary (+28/04/2017).&lt;/ref&gt;.

She discreetly mentions, in some personal notes, the sufferings this Mission causes her. But Jesus, in a dictation, is more explicit and of a more general scope:&lt;blockquote&gt;“If you only knew, O men, all of you, what slavery it is to be instruments of God! […] Sleeplessness, hunger, sufferings, weariness, the desire to think of something else, to read things which are not the words of ultramundane sources, to say and hear ordinary words, the desire to be, at least for one day, ordinary creatures and lead an ordinary life‑these are all things which the inexorable lash of God's will keeps them from having and turning into reality. And upon all of this the resentment of men pours its salt and its acid, as if the master of the galley were to make salt and vinegar fall upon the wounds caused by the whiplashes.”&lt;ref&gt;Notebooks 1944, September 24.&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
