Maria Valtorta Foundation Newsletter
MariaV altorta Viale Carducci, 71 - 55049 VIAREGGIO (Lucca) Newsletter www.fondazionemariavaltorta.it Edited by Fondazione Maria Valtorta – AUGUST 1, 2018 – Newsletter N° 51 PROBLEMS OF THE PRESENT TIME Father Migliorini, Maria Valtorta and Dora Barsottelli – part 1 Ordine Very little we know about Dora Barsottelli, but the little we know touches in a dei Servi di Maria dramatic way either Maria Valtorta and Father Migliorini. The fracture between Maria Valtorta and Father Migliorini, the definitive and irrevocable moving of him to Rome, the spiritual solitude of her; the rise and disappearance of Dora Barsottelli, are the happenings of our history. In that year 1946, finally freed from war, but full of perils and poverty, there takes place a real, truly human tragedy, that will hardly strike Maria Valtorta and her inner circle. Father Romualdo M. Migliorini, Order of Servants of Maria, in 1942 First of all I obviously feel indispensable to summarize all facts given by Maria became the spiritual director of Valtorta’s writings. A note from the administration of The Notebooks 1945-1950, the mystic Maria Valtorta until his removal and transfer from Viareg- tells who Dora Barsottelli was: gio to Rome, in 1946. Died July 10, «This refers to Dora Barsottelli, from Camaiore, Tuscany, who said she was favored 1953. by manifestations concerning whose origins yet, Maria Valtorta arbored apprehen- sion and doubt, as we shall see in the course of the present volume and as can be noted in other writings separate from the Notebooks. They both knew about each other because of Father Migliorini, spiritual director of Maria Valtorta was also Barsottelli’s care taker’s case». -

I had learnt the night prayer to Jesus, Mary and Joseph for assistance ‘in my last agony’ when at school aged eight. In later life I had developed the habit of asking St Joseph’s help with practical matters such as problems with the car or computer. It was a reference to St Joseph during an Advent retreat in December 2016 that prompted me to explore his life and mission in more detail. The retreat master mentioned two things about St Joseph which intrigued me: within the Holy Family Joseph held ‘a primacy of authority’ while Mary held ‘a primacy of love’1 and secondly that a recent mystic had experienced inner locutions from St Joseph indicating that he had been sanctified in the womb. A search of the Internet on Sister Ephrem Neuzil confirmed that St Joseph had reportedly said to her that he had been freed from original sin soon after his conception. -

Maria Valtorta Was Born in Caserta, Italy on March 14, 1897
In Response to Various Questions Regarding “The Poem of the Man-God" Published on April 15, 2006 by Dr. Mark Miravalle, Professor of theology and Mariology at Franciscan University of Steubenville. [Note: The Poem of the Man God has since been published under the title The Gospel as Revealed to Me, but they are the same book.] Maria Valtorta was born in Caserta, Italy on March 14, 1897. Deeply pious, Maria was strongly attracted to God from early childhood, but it was as a young woman that she started reporting mystical experiences. In 1920 she was randomly attacked by a young man who hit her in the back with an iron bar. Badly injured, she was bedridden for three months and her health began its gradual decline. In the years to follow she made a personal offering of her sufferings to the two Divine attributes of Love and Justice, and by April, 1934, she was permanently confined to her bed. It was in 1943 that Valtorta began to write down in her notebooks the “dictations,” the mystical visions and messages she reported receiving from Jesus and Mary, and the years between 1943 and 1947 were the period of her greatest output. She wrote almost 15000 pages of dictation, a little less than two-thirds of which comprised The Poem of the Man-God, a substantial work on the life of Jesus Christ beginning from the birth of Our Lady and ending at her Assumption. Maria Valtorta died on October 12, 1961. In 1973 her remains were moved to Florence and entombed in the Capitular Chapel in the Grand Cloister of the Basilica of the Most Holy Annunciation in Florence. -
A Mathematical Analysis of Maria Valtorta's Mystical Writings
Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 7 November 2018 doi:10.20944/preprints201811.0149.v1 Peer-reviewed version available at Religions 2018, 9, 373; doi:10.3390/rel9110373 Article A Mathematical Analysis of Maria Valtorta’s Mystical Writings Emilio Matricciani 1, *, Liberato De Caro 2 1 Dipartimento di Elettronica, Informazione e Bioingegneria, Politecnico di Milano Milan 20133, Italy; [email protected] 2 Istituto di Cristallografia, Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, Bari 70126, Italy; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +39−0223993639 Abstract: We have studied the very large amount of literary works written by the Italian mystic Maria Valtorta to assess similarities and differences in her writings because she claims that most of them are due to mystical visions. We have used mathematical and statistical tools developed for specifically studying deep linguistic aspects of texts. The general trend indicates that the literary works explicitly attributable to Maria Valtorta differ significantly from her other literary works, that she claims are attributable to the alleged characters Jesus and Mary. Mathematically, they seem to have been written by different authors. The comparison with the Italian literature is very striking. A single author, namely Maria Valtorta, seems to be able to write texts so diverse to cover the entire mathematical range (suitable defined) of the Italian literature of seven centuries. Keywords: Confidence tests, dictations, Jesus Christ, Maria Valtorta, mystics, punctuation marks, readability index, sentences, semantic index, syntactic index, text characters, Virgin Mary, visions, words, word interval. 1. Introduction The history of Christianity has always been characterized by mystics, people who say they have had direct talks with Jesus, visions of Mary and saints, knowledge of future and past events. -
Refutation of Horvat's Anti-Valtorta Article Refutes His Main Out- Of-Context Arguments
How the Orthodoxy of Maria Valtorta’s Work Shines Even More Brightly and Exposing the Methodological and Theological Errors of Marian Horvat: A Complete Refutation of Horvat’s Flawed Anti-Valtorta Article Theological Errors and Incompetency, Methodological Flaws, Distortions and Misrepresentations, Lack of Objectivity, and Ignorance on the Subject She is Writing About: How Horvat’s Anti-Valtorta Article Lacks Substance and Credibility and Stands Completely Refuted By Stephen Austin, January 2016 (Updated May 2017) Tradition in Action (www.TraditioninAction.org) is a traditional Catholic website which is associated with a group that broke away from the SSPX. They have posted several anti-Valtorta articles on their website, one of which is an anti-Valtorta article by Marian Horvat. The most widely-read anti-Valtorta articles in English-speaking countries are those published on EWTN or by those who work for them. I don’t feel the need to discuss concerns about this particular organization here because others have already done thorough investigation and studies of EWTN (such as Christopher Ferrara’s book EWTN: A Network Gone Wrong) and the refutations their anti-Valtorta articles speak for themselves and are readily available here: An Analysis and Refutation of All the Top Anti-Valtorta Articles. However, I do feel the need to address traditioninaction.com because, since they are a traditional Catholic media outlet, they are considered by some traditional and conservative Catholics to ordinarily be more trustworthy than many organizations of the mainstream Catholic media. On some topics and in certain cases, this is true. Unfortunately, on this particular topic, they have proven not to be trustworthy or reliable as my refutations of their anti-Valtorta articles and this article demonstrate. -

FRANCIS OF ASSISI. I do not consider the apparitions of St. Francis of Assisi to Maria Valtorta (just thirty in 1944) and not even what he says, as for what it’s written on the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius Loyola. In other words, I do not want to linger miserably over the details. I just want to see if there is any global similarity, and if so, should it be so profound, among what Jesus was for St. Francis and what Maria Valtorta urges to be each reader toward Jesus, with her writings. Let us then try to understand “that” Jesus of Saint Francis. Yes, but first of This picture shows a nearly 30 years old all, let us get rid of those awful clues that films kept on submitting us about him. Maria Valtorta in Viareggio, They tried to make him look like a knowledgeable ecologist; a banal nature’s praiser; just before she finally got bedridden almost an ecumenical new agers,“ante litteram” without a doctrine system. St. Francis was not any of the above. Two authors in some ways very far away from each other, have arrived at the same conclusion. The first one is Father Raniero Cantalamessa of the Friar Minors, preacher of the Pontifical Household, and he writes like this: «It is on this text [testament of Saint Francis] that the historians are rightly PRAYER based on, but with a limit which is impossible to overcome for them. -
