"When in the 1980s I commenced reading The Poem of the
Man-God, I was cautioned by overscrupulous well-wishers
concerned for my spiritual welfare against reading a book which had
been placed on the Index of Forbidden books. Father Anthony Pillari
in Maria Valtorta's Life of Christ has banished for good and all
any lingering doubts as to the orthodoxy of her visions and
writings."--Cardinal Thomas Williams, Archbishop Emeritus of
Wellington, New Zealand"Fr. Anthony Pillari and Stephen Austin
deserve to be commended for this precious work which will, God
willing, open up for the Church the great treasure that is The
Poem of the Man-God. Valtorta's great work, like St. Louis de
Montfort's priceless True Devotion to Mary, has been a
hidden treasure at times despised and rejected even by those in the
Church. With the witness of these saints who have profited from
Valtorta's incredible insights into the life of Christ, may the
whole Church awaken to the riches of an intimate knowledge of the
life and times of Our Lord."--John-Henry Westen, Editor in Chief
and Co-Founder of LifeSiteNews"Fr. Pillari and Stephen Austin's
text on The Poem of the Man-God makes clear the canonical
legitimacy for all faithful Catholics to read and appreciate this
great mystical work. The positive spiritual discernment of St.
Teresa of Calcutta and other recently declared 'Blesseds' of the
Church testify to its inspiring and authentic contents. The sublime
Mariological theme of Mary as the 'Co-redemptrix' with and under
Jesus, the divine Redeemer, accurately embodies the best and
richest Mariology of the last millennium. Rather than a threat to
Scripture reading, the Poem makes the superior Word of God
come alive and move souls to repentance, conversion, and peace."The
time has come for The Poem of the Man-God to be
universally appreciated as the contemporary mystical classic that
it is. Thank you, Fr. Pillari and Stephen Austin for this
outstanding articulation and defense of the pearls of the
Poem for today."--Dr. Mark Miravalle
St. John Paul II Chair of Mariology
Franciscan University of Steubenville
President, International Marian Association
