Maria Valtorta and her work

Peter spots a group of Pharisees from Galilee. The apostles get agitated, go to see them and put them in their place, because these men are scandalized by Christ's attitude (who welcomed Aglaia, a prostitute, and healed pagans in the previous days). A man of the people then tells the disciples that he did not believe their words because he has changed thanks to the Lord. James of Alphaeus and Peter then talk together: according to Christ's cousin, the Master is pleased with Peter, and James reveals that he speaks well thanks to Mary's lessons.

Jesus is accompanied by little Asrael, who is four years old and a preacher at heart. The Messiah then gives a discourse on the Commandment: "Thou shalt not bear false witness" and always encourages men to be sincere. In particular, he dwells on lying, its causes and consequences.

Jesus teaches us not to steal and not to envy others. In particular, he looks back at the origins of envy, with Lucifer, Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel. The Lord also enjoins us to be as simple as birds, to trust in God and His Providence. At the request of others, he speaks of Herod's sin and prostitution. Then he heals an almost-blind man.

In his discourse, Jesus speaks of the First Book of the Maccabees, with the Feast of Dedication. He invites us to follow the basis of the Law to sanctify ourselves, i.e. the Decalogue. Then he explains that we must purify ourselves (with repentance), put God in our hearts and have a new altar, knowing that Christ prays with us to the Father and that we shouldn't be afraid to approach him. Once he's finished, he talks to Peter, who regrets not knowing how to speak, but Jesus confirms his spiritual primacy. His apostle also asks if he can have a son, but Jesus tells him no: rather, his Vicar will have thousands of spiritual children. The Master also assures him that he will be able to speak when the time comes, and sends him off to sell a precious ring.

Jesus talks to Andrew. He tells him about the birds and then talks about his silent, effective work. Andrew is the ideal model of a priest. Then John, Simon and Judas, who have gone to Jerusalem, return with a letter from Mary, Jesus' mother. They learn that the Pharisees are planning to come here, surprise him and accuse him. The apostles are not yet ready to confront the Sanhedrin and ask Christ to leave. They finally open the gifts made by the disciples' wives. But Jesus is preoccupied, suffering, and decides to hasten their departure, as he is not yet to be taken. So they prepare their belongings to go to Docco, and then to Bethany.

Healing for Marianne, a dying mother who has given life to six children. She has a breast disease (perhaps cancer?). Jesus comes to heal her, because her mother-in-law has gone to find Jesus at Belle-Eau, at the end of EMV 131. At the end, Christ asks Judas to buy them food for the next few days, as they are very poor. Judas then asks him to give some of his own money, because he is becoming good and wants to get rid of his fascination with money.
