GRM 174.12 · Volume 3

The Gospel as revealed to me

Quotation

[22th May 1945] 169.4 Jesus speaks slowly, gesticulating quietly. His face looks paler, as it emerges from His dark blue tunic and also because it is lit up by the rays of the new moon, which illuminates the spot where He is, a small spot of a moon in the sky, a ray of light that caresses the Master of Heaven and earth.

[12th August 1944.] 174.12 There is much excitement amongst the people who crowd around the path leading to the tableau. The people closest to Jesus turn their heads around. Everybody’s attention is distracted. Jesus stops speaking and turns His eyes in the same direction as the others. He is serious and handsome in His dark blue tunic, His arms folded on His chest while the first rays of the sun rising above the eastern peak of the hill shine on His head.

Detail

Comparison between EMV 169.4 and EMV 174.12 concerning Jesus' garment. See annotation.

Annotation

Remarkable consistency: the same garment is described at the beginning of this chapter, in a vision received on May 22, 1945, ten months after this one.

Moreover, the observation about the "eastern flank of the hill" is consistent, as the two peaks of the Hattin horns are oriented northeast/southeast.

Annotation

Maria Valtorta's daily catecheses, recorded in the "Cahiers" series, began in April 1943, but the Gospel visions didn't really start until January 1944. So this is one of the very first visions. The visions are not in chronological order.
