AUTOBIOGRAPHY

Even before being engaged in writing the inspired dictations, in 1943, Maria Valtorta wrote the Autobiography. She did it to reciprocate the desire of her spiritual director, Father Migliorini, who must have noticed uncommon talents in the invalid Maria.

THE BOOK OF AZARIAH

Book of Azariah is the title of the volume that collects the lessons, attributed to the angel Azariah, on the readings of festive Masses excluding the Gospel, which is mentioned there only with brief and sporadic references, having been fully illustrated in the work of ten volumes : The Gospel as Revealed to me.

Each lesson reported in this book was given from February 24, 1946 to February 2, 1947 on the same day as the Sunday or feast on which the respective Mass was celebrated according to the liturgical calendar of that time. In order to make the lessons usable regardless of liturgical reforms, the editor-curator has inserted, at the beginning of each lesson, biblical references according to the neo-vernacular and the texts of the prayers taken from a Missal that belonged to Maria Valtorta.

LESSONS ON THE EPISTLE OF PAUL TO THE ROMANS

These are 48 inspired lessons that illustrate the Pauline Letter, the full text of which is given at the beginning of the volume, which ends with two indexes: topics and biblical quotations.
The value of revelation to Maria Valtorta can be appreciated, other than in The Gospel, in the precious teachings that we find in the Lessons on the Epistle of Paul to the Romans: a very high theology dictated by the Holy Spirit who wants to be called “Sweet Guest” [1].

MARIA’S EPISTOLARY

Despite being absorbed by the commitment of mystical writing, Maria Valtorta was not isolated from the world, whose events she followed through the newspaper and the radio. Above all, she did not neglect her correspondence. She said: “Sending a letter can be an act of courtesy, but responding to a letter is an obligation”. And so she never left the correspondence unanswered, and was surprised if she received no reply to a greeting or birthday card.
