An hour with the Master.
THROUGH her great masterwork, The Poem of the Man-God, the modern mystic Maria Valtorta [1897-1961†], has become increasingly well known and popular in the West, especially among the Catholic laity. Fr. Gabriel Roschini, O.S.M., Mariologist, philosopher and professor at the Lateran Pontifical University, consultor to the Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and one of the participating experts at the Second Vatican Council, has declared Valtorta one of the eighteen greatest mystics of all time. In fact, as material for a course which he taught at the 'Marianum' Pontifical Theological Faculty in Rome on the Marian intuitions of the great mystics, Fr. Roschini used both Valtorta's Poem..., as well as her other mystical writings as a basis for his course. Of these latter, Valtorta has bequeathed us several other volumes of writings, currently being translated into English and comprising, like The Poem..., what she attests to be direct Revelations or Dictations from Christ and Mary. Most of these are contained primarily in her "Notebooks" (I Quaderni) for 1943, 1944 and 1945- 50.
