Calendar: Saturday, January 15, 28 (1 Scébat 3788).
Location (map): From Capernaum to Caesarea Maritime
Cycle: The female apostolate
Summary: Peter broods in his corner. With the arrival of women disciples in the apostolic company, he has the impression that Porphyria, his wife, is useless. But Jesus says he needs some of the wives to stay at home, to provide shelter for their sisters who are following them into Palestine. This is a necessity: if they had all wanted to follow the Lord, he would have had to tell some of them to stay. Peter therefore reasserts himself, and we learn that the apostolic troop will be advancing towards Caesarea Maritime.
Chapter contents: 153.1: Peter regrets that his wife is not following Jesus. The others describe how women, mothers and daughters, serve Jesus. 153.2: Andrew points out his brother's authoritarian nature. Everyone laughs. 153.3: The characteristics of the apostolate of the disciples' wives.

Calendar: Tuesday, January 18, 28 according to Valtorta.fr or Wednesday, January 19, 28 (5 Scébat 3788) according to maria-valtorta.org.
Location (map): Caesarea Maritime
Cycle: The female apostolate
Summary: Jesus is still in Caesarea Maritime. He enjoins Simon the Zealot, Jude and James of Alphaeus and John to be good to the pagans. Jude asks how to be good to everyone, and Jesus asks him if he's glad to have been born into the family of his father Alphaeus. His cousin replies that he is. Jesus then asks him how he would have reacted if, having been born into a pagan family, he were accused of being a pagan, and Jude says he wouldn't be responsible. So he understands the lesson, but says it's hard to love those you don't know. In the meantime, Jesus calls a child, who shows them that it's not complicated to love. The child's mother recognizes the Master and sends for the Romans. He is asked to heal a child who has choked. The child is Valeria's daughter, Faustina. Shortly afterwards, some Jews reproach the Master for his action. He gives them a lively speech, which ends in a prayer to the Father and ecstasy with the Trinity from which he sprang. Then Christ returns to himself and leaves.
Chapter contents: 155.1: An instruction for the consecrated. 155.2: Jesus takes up the apostles' aversion to pagans: what if you were born a pagan? 155.3: A lesson in universal brotherhood given by children without prejudice. 155.4: Would you be willing to heal the dying little girl of one of Claudia's friends? 155.5: Jesus heals the little girl in a way that astounds the Proconsul's physician. 155.6: Three Pharisees reproach him for approaching strangers (which they themselves do). 155.7 : Lying ministers of a Law of Truth. It's shameful! 155.8 : I make no distinction between men. 155.9 : The three hostile Israelites flee under a hail of reproaches.
