In other works of Maria Valtorta
The Notebooks of 1943
- Catechesis of December 2: The last Struggle will be caused by purely Satanic hatred, and Satan and his children will then be the only ones to hate. Now, you all hate. Even the saints among you hate their enemy and their neighbor more or less. And this facilitates the work of Satan and hinders the work of God in individuals or in nations. […] He who fiercely attacks his fellow man in the name of Faith or Homeland acts contrary to charity and therefore against God. […] Opening the newspaper, I see the decree concerning the Jews. Don’t you think it has something to do with it…?[16]
