Mary as the Co-Redeemer in Maria Valtorta’s revelations.


Jesus: Mary is the Co-Redeemer. Since everything in Her is, then, inferior to God alone, her pain also had to be such that the pain of no other human creature would ever equal it.

(Maria Valtorta, Notebooks 1943, p. 133)


Jesus: But Mary was the Co-Redeemer. And the mission of a redeemer is always a mission of infinite pain. Otherwise, how could a redeemer pay the ransom for the sins of others? Redeem his brothers and sisters as a victim? Mary was a redeemer, as I was the Redeemer. It was right, then, that Pain should be her companion.

(Notebooks 1943, p. 310)


Jesus: She is inferior to God alone because He created Her. But her maternity and her pain as Co-Redeemer make her exalted above all other creatures. The Gate of God. From Her issues forth faith, hope and charity; from Her, temperance, justice, fortitude, and prudence; from Her, Grace and graces; from Her, salvation; and from Her, God made Flesh comes to you

(Notebooks. 1944, p. 487)


Jesus: Did I perhaps offend charity towards my Mother by exercising the heroic justice of doing the whole Will of my Father? No, in all truth. On the contrary, by doing this, I made Her, the Immaculate One, the Co-Redemptrix. I place this second glorious crown on her head, which She would otherwise not have had. Nor did She refuse to wear it, though it was a crown of boundless pain.

Notebooks 1945-50, p. 503)


Jesus: Know that I, God, do not feel I am diminishing Myself in loving my Mother with an infinite love filled with veneration, whose immaculate nature, the work of the Father I see but whose life of martyrdom as Co-Redeemer I also remember, without which I would not have been a Man among men and your eternal Redeemer.

(Notebooks 1943, pp. 290-5)


Jesus: Since She was called to a mission as Redemptrix, pain surpassed blessedness from the very start. You have had Me because Mary agreed, thirty-three years before Me, to drink the chalice of bitterness.

(Notebooks 1943, pp. 290-5)


The Holy Spirit: Oh! truly the Rainbow of peace, the Co-Redemptrix is amongst the clouds, above the clouds, the sweet star that shines in the presence of God in order to remind Him that He has promised mercy to men and has given His Son so that men may have forgiveness. She is such, not as a sweet thought but as a true reality, complete, with Her soul without blemish and Her flesh without corruption. Nor is She content at being adored or blessed, but shows Herself to be active and calls, She again calls Humanity to Salvation. The hour of Mary. This hour.

(Lesson on the Epistle of St. Paul to the Romans, pp.102-3)


Mary: I felt the first wound pierce My heart. It was the first pain in My destiny of Co-Redeemer. I offered and suffered it in atonement and to give you a guidance for similar circumstances in life when it is necessary to suffer in silence for an event that casts a bad light on you in relation to those who love you.

(The Gospel as Revealed to Me, Vol 1 p. 119.)


Jesus to Lazarus: Poor Jesus, laden with the sins of the world, needs consolation. And Mother will give Me it. And the even poorer world needs two Victims. Because man sinned with woman; and the Woman must redeem, as the Man redeems.

(The Gospel as Revealed to Me, Vol 9. p. 330.)


Jesus: Mary, the sublime Co-Redeemer, does not cease to suffer, as I do not. In the inviolable glory of the Heavens, We suffer over the men who deny Us and offend us. Mary is the eternal woman giving birth to you with unequaled pain, for She knows that this pain gives rise not to blessed ones for heaven, but, for the most part, to damned ones for hell. She knows She is giving birth to dead creatures or those destined to die before long.

(Notebooks 1943, pp. 147-9 )


Jesus: The third time was when Christ fulfilled his mission as Redeemer by dying on the Cross. Then, too, Mary was united to God's work, and by the work of the Son, She became the Co-Redeemer and Victim with Him. Indissolubly linked to God and to God's will, She was present in every time of the stages of the way of Redemption, and without Mary you would not have had the Redeemer.

(Notebooks 1943, pp. 507-8)



Special thanks to Catherine Loft, who compiled these and many more references to Mary as the Co-Redeemer/Co-Redemptrix for the Maria Valtorta’s Readers Group, a global apostolate: https://www.valtorta.com.au/ The references are contained as attachments in an email she sent me. If you would like to read the full attachments please email me at frankrega at verizon.net and I will forward them to you. 

 

Disclaimer: A brief ‘press release’ from a Vatican dicastery has proposed, without offering proof, that her writings are not supernatural [Link]. However, according to the dicastery’s own published standards their press release has no canonical validity [Link, no. 22]. Therefore I am not being disobedient by publicly asserting my 100% human faith that the supernatural revelations of Maria Valtorta are from Heaven.

  1. It is clear that this title does, and should belong to Our Lady because to take that title away is an attempt to reduce Her to nothing more than a human woman like any other - the " mother" of Jesus and the "mother" of the faithful. We must not forget Mary's supernatural mystery. It should be proclaimed!
