"The writings are dictated to Catalina in Spanish (although at times parts or all have been in other languages such as Latin, Polish, Italian and Greek, languages that Catalina does not know) and they are progressively being translated into English. The longest message that they filmed her write went for nearly an hour. She wrote without pause, without an alteration to any word, something like 14 pages of dictation." (www.youshallbelieve.com)
IMPRIMATUR:
We have read Catalina’s books and we are certain that their only objective is to
lead us all on a journey of authentic spirituality that is based on the Gospel of
Christ. The books highlight as well the special place the Blessed Virgin Mary, our
Mother to whom we should offer our complete trust and love, as her children that
we are, and our role model in how to love and follow Jesus Christ.
At the same time as they renew our love and devotion to the Holy Catholic
Church, the books enlighten us on the actions that should characterize a truly
committed Christian. For these reasons, I authorize their printing and distribution, and recommend them as texts of meditation and spiritual orientation, so as to yield much fruit
for Our Lord who is calling us to save many souls, showing them that He is a living
God, full of love and mercy.
+ Mons. Rene Fernandez Apaza
Archbishop of Cochabamba
April 2, l998
(In the Catholic Church an imprimatur is an official declaration by a Church authority that a book or other printed work may be published.)
Dr. Ricardo Castanon, who tested Catalina Rivas many times says, “Catalina did not finish High School yet in less then three years she has written eight books. In two weeks, she had written by hand 900 pages. The content talks about the theologies, sociology, the human life and Divine Spirituality. When you see that she doesn’t have the background, she has never written anything and then she comes with books of 200, 300, 400 pages and there is no theological mistake, you know something special is happening. Catalina says Jesus will dictate to her and her heart will begin to beat very fast during this time. She says always when Jesus will tell her something, she will have this feeling. When she begins to write, she does not stop. She writes continuously, all the time. She does not have a moment to stop. Normally when you write a letter to a friend, you take time to think about what you want to say or even stop and she doesn’t, She writes continuously, all the time. I will say that all together, she could write 4000 or 5000 pages, intelligent pages about theologies, sociology, the human life and Divine Spirituality and they are poetic pages. So many words she does not understand and the written Spanish is very elegant.”
