Visions, Seers
See also: Visions and Dictations of Maria Valtorta.
In the Religion of Catholicism, the term "vision" usually means an initiative of God with a Soul, a "seer", who, through this divine intervention, "sees" inwardly people or earthly or celestial things, past, present, or future. These interventions of God are numerous in the Bible as well as in the History of the Church Catholic, and usually pursue a prophetic and teaching purpose.
In "The Gospel as It Was Revealed to Me"

Visions reported in the work
- Visions of the Glory of God by Sabea the prophetess: "The voice is a ringing. The people are shaken by a shiver. The Woman actually seems to see what she says as if the golden cloud sailing in a serene sky and which she seems to follow with her delighted gaze, was for her a lens that allowed her to see the heavenly glories.[4]
