The Blessed
Mother's Mountain in Naju, Korea
A Special Place
of Graces
The Blessed
Mother's mountain
in Naju is a sacred place chosen by her and blessed with
miraculous changes in the Eucharistic species twice, descent of
the Eucharist twice and descent of Our Lord'sPrecious Blood
and Our Lady'stears of blood seven times between 1995 and 2003.
|
|
This
Mountain is also the site of a miraculous
spring, which has been instrumental in numerous
physical healings. Frequently, the air on
the Mountain becomes filled with a fragrance
of roses. The area above the spring has
been landscaped in the design of the reverse
side of the Miraculous Medal as the Blessed
Mother instructed Julia Kim in a vision.
Above this area, there is a replica of Mt.
Calvary with a large Crucifix and statues
of Our Lady, St. John, St. Mary Magdalene,
and a Roman soldier. Encircling this whole
area is the Way of the Cross with fifteen
Stations. This Mountain is located five
miles west of Our Lady'sChapel where her
statue, which wept and exuded fragrant oil,
is being preserved and honored.

MIRACULOUS
CHANGES IN THE EUCHARISTIC SPECIES
|
During
the Mass celebrated on this Mountain by Bishop Dominic
Su from Malaysia on August 24, 1995, and also during
the Mass celebrated at the same location by Bishop Roman
Danylak from Canada on September 22, 1995, the Eucharist
changed into visible and live flesh and blood in the
shape of a heart on Julia'stongue. After his return
to Canada, Bishop Danylak wrote, “For the first time,
human eyes saw the living Heart of Our Lord and Savior,
the Heart that had so loved the world that It offered
Itself in the holocaust that we might live and not be
lost.?Bishop Su has since returned to the same Mountain
several times. On August 15, 2002, he witnessed a miraculous
descent of Our Lord'sPrecious Blood in the area where
the two Eucharistic miracles had occurred. This site
of the two Eucharistic miracles is being specially protected
with a round transparent cover.

DESCENT
OF THE EUCHARIST
|
On
November 24, 2001, early in the morning, while doing
the Stations of the Cross on the Blessed Mother'sMountain
with several companions, Julia saw powerful and beautiful
rays of light radiating from Jesus on the Cross. Then,
His Seven Wounds opened and poured forth blood. The
streams of blood promptly converged into one, changed
into the Eucharist, and descended into Julia'smouth.
Jesus said, "My beloved little soul! Receive and
consume this. It is the Blood of My Covenant that I
shed to wash away the sins of the children in the world
and is My Flesh that nourishes souls. Become completely
dissolved in Me and become one with My Heart so that
you may become one with Me."
|
|
Again,
on January 1, 2002, at about 10 a.m., when Julia was
praying under the Crucifix on the Blessed Mother's
Mountain, she saw a drop of blood forming on the middle
toe of the Lord'sright foot, which soon turned into
a Sacred Host and entered her mouth even though she
was wearing a mask because of the cold weather. Jesus
said, "Oh, My beloved little soul! This is the
heavenly food that I give you in order to completely
pour down the totality of My Love upon you."

DESCENT
OF OUR LORD’S PRECIOUS BLOOD AND OUR LADY'S TEARS
OF BLOOD
|
- On
November 9, 2001, Julia suffered severe pains
while doing the Stations of the Cross on the
Blessed Mother'sMountain. She saw a vision
of Jesus shedding His Precious Blood and the
Blessed Mother shedding her tears of blood.
At that moment, thousands of little stones and
some fallen tree leaves between the Third Station
(where Jesus fell the first time) and the Fifteenth
Station (where Jesus resurrected) became stained
with freshly-shed blood. Little pieces of flesh
were also found on a few stones. Soon the Blessed
Mother appeared, shedding tears of blood, and
gave this message: “I listen attentively to
the sounds of earnest prayers that you offer
up on the Way of the Cross and accompany you,
shedding tears of blood at the side of my Son
Jesus Who is shedding blood and is with you.?br>
- On
January 18, 2002, at about 9:30 a.m., large
quantities of blood came down between the Seventh
Station (where Jesus fell the second time) and
the Thirteenth Station (where the Body of Jesus
was lowered from the Cross). Julia received
a message from Jesus: “I came to you, shedding
blood like this, in order to be with you. If
all those who walk on this Way of the Cross
open their hearts widely, desire sincerely to
be united with Me, and pray participating in
the pains that I suffer, they will meet Me and
receive spiritual and physical healings.?In
the afternoon, several pilgrims found more fresh
blood on the paved area and a large rock at
the Twelfth Station (where Jesus died on the
Cross).
- On
January 27, 2002, the Precious Blood came down
again, this time at the Ninth Station (where
Jesus fell the third time), the Eleventh Station
(where Jesus was nailed to the Cross), and the
Twelfth Station. Our Lord said, “The reason
why I am revealing My Love even by shedding
blood for you is to wash away your sins thoroughly
and perform a transfusion. This is a testimony
of My intense Love for all of you and is the
Blood of the Covenant.?br>
- On
February 2, 2002, bloody sweat and water shed
by the Lord came down at the Tenth Station (where
Jesus was stripped of His garments) and the
Eleventh Station. The Blessed Mother said, “I
will let you grow spiritually through the earnest
prayers that you offer up with your whole hearts
on this Way of the Cross where I walk with my
Son Jesus, bleeding with Him. The Lord will
bathe your souls and bodies with His Sacred
Blood.?br>
- On
June 11, 2002, Our Lord'sPrecious Blood came
down on the ground at the location where Eucharistic
miracles had occurred on August 24, 1995, and
September 22, 1995. Blood on some stones was
thick and moving as if breathing.
- On
August 15, 2002, when Bishop Dominic Su, Father
Francis Su, and other pilgrims came to the Blessed
Mother'sMountain, the Precious Blood came
down at about 10 a.m. at the location where
Eucharistic miracles had occurred on August
24 and September 22, 1995. The quantity of the
blood was so large that it looked as though
it was poured down. Jesus said, “As you see
and feel My most sublime Precious Blood which
I poured out, holding back none, by opening
My Sacred Heart for all of you, rely totally
on Me with total faith and trust and with gratitude
and love, and make this most sublime love known
to all people. If they accept it humbly and
repent, they will obtain My infinite love and
mercy and be blessed with eternal happiness
at the last moment.?br>
- On
February 16, 2003, the day when the most recent
message was received, Our Lord'sPrecious Blood
and Our Lady'stears of blood came down on
Julia'sforehead while she was praying under
the Crucifix on the Mountain.

SAMPLES
OF THE BLOOD WERE TESTED
|
A
total of ten samples (little stones stained with blood
on the Blessed Mother's Mountain in Naju) were subjected
to DNA testing, five times per sample for a total of
50 tests, at Seoul National University over a period
of one-and-a-half years from early 2002 to September
2003. This work was led by Dr. Jung Bin Lee, head of
the Department of Forensic Medicine at the University.
After completing the tests, Dr. Lee made verbal statements
during an interview on September 8, 2003, followed by
an official written statement the next day. The following
is a summary of Dr. Lee'sstatements:
- Eight
of the ten samples were from one same male human.
- The
other two samples were from one same female
human.
- The
blood type of the male human was AB.
- The
blood type of the female human was B (more precisely
for genetic purposes, BO).
- In
order to confirm the consistency of the test
results, Dr. Lee requested more samples repeatedly
until a total of ten samples were submitted.
With these samples, he finished a total of 50
tests with completely consistent results.
- Dr.
Lee added that the DNA reading of the male human
blood was identical to the earlier test result
with the blood sample from a Eucharistic miracle
on July 2, 1995, when seven Sacred Hosts descended
from the Crucifix in the Chapel and one of them
received by Julia turned into visible flesh
and blood on her tongue.
Our
Lord'sblood type, AB, found in the above tests coincides
with the test result in Lanciano, Italy. The DNA reading
of the Blessed Mother'sblood at Seoul National University
probably was the first one in history. One could still
raise a question regarding the Lord'sblood type, AB.
We can see that the B gene in the Lord'sblood came
from the Blessed Mother, but where did the A gene come
from? We know from the Christian Faith that Our Lord
did not have any human father for His Incarnation. The
answer would seem to be that the Holy Spirit, Who effected
the Conception of Our Lord in the Virgin Mary'swomb,
chose an A gene and gave it to the Baby Jesus. God,
Who is almighty, has no difficulty at all in doing what
He wills.

MIRACLES
CONTINUE IN NAJU
|
|
On
April 16, 2005, two Sacred Hosts descended miraculously in Naju and bled visibly on May 6.
The fragrance of roses, occasional
descents of fragrant oil, physical healings, and spiritual
conversions continue and are experienced by an increasing
number of pilgrims. Also, on April 9, 2004 and March
25, 2005, Good Friday, while Julia was doing the Stations
of the Cross on the Mountain, she suffered intense pains
corresponding to those suffered by the Lord. Bleeding
wounds from whipping appeared on her legs.

THE
MEANING OF THESE MIRACULOUS SIGNS
|
The
most notable characteristic of the genuine signs from
God is that they are inseparably connected with the
saving truths that Our Lord already revealed and entrusted
to His Church for preservation and propagation. The
main theme of these truths is that God loved us so much
that He sent His Only Son to the world to teach us the
way (i.e. the truths and the Commandments) and redeem
us from sins with the graces merited through His Passion.
The great majority of people in this modern world seem
uninterested in these truths of paramount importance,
focusing more on material gains and other self-centered
goals, which cannot give them true and lasting happiness
and life that they really need. Now, especially in Naju,
Korea, God is sending us stern messages and powerful
signs to awaken our complacent souls to the tremendous
reality of His saving truths that are focused on the
Lord'sPassion and Resurrection. This Paschal Mystery
of Our Lord'sPassion and Resurrection is not just
a historical event, but continues to be the most relevant,
powerful, and living reality and source of the saving
graces for all of us. What is happening in Naju ?especially
on the Blessed Mother'sMountain ?is God'sown testimony
to what is really important to us as well as His offer
of overflowing graces. The Church officially teaches
the continuing reality of the Lord'sPassion and Resurrection:
His
Paschal mystery is a real history, but it is unique:
all other historical events happen once, and then they
pass away, swallowed up in the past. The Paschal
mystery of Christ, by contrast, cannot remain only in
the past, because by his death he destroyed death, and
all that Christ is ?all that he did and suffered for
all men ?participates in the divine eternity, and so
transcends all times while being made present in them
all. The event of the Cross and Resurrection abides
and draws everything toward life. ?Catechism of
the Catholic Church, #1085
The
Mystery of Our Lord'sPassion and Resurrection thus
is not only to be remembered but also to be participated
in and lived by us. Our Lord said, “If any man will
come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his
cross, and follow me?(Matthew 16:24).
In
fact, there has been no Saint who has not constantly
strived to unite with the Lord'sPassion by turning
his or her entire life, including even the most trivial
things, into opportunities for practicing self-denial,
sacrifice, prayer, and other acts of charity. The transcendence
of Our Lord'sPaschal Mystery over time means that
He suffered and died for human sins of all ages. We
need to be clearly aware that our own moral failures
and unfaithfulness to God'sWill are direct causes
of Our Lord'ssufferings and death as well as Our Lady's
sorrows. By participating in the Lord'sPaschal Mystery,
we can atone for our own sins and also help save others.
A most excellent way of uniting with this Paschal Mystery
is to frequently and sincerely participate in the Sacred
Liturgy of the Holy Mass, which is a true re-presentation
of Our Lord'ssacrificial offering on the Cross. It
is also important that we make frequent and sincere
Confessions to cleanse our souls from additional sins
and keep ourselves humble before God. The Stations of
the Cross, daily rosary, and spiritual reading are also
effective ways of growing in the union with Our Lord
and Our Lady. Our union with the Lord'sPaschal Mystery
will then become a powerful source of charity toward
all our neighbors and zeal to pray for them and spread
the Lord'ssaving truths so that all may become faithful
members of God'sFamily and Kingdom.

How
the Miraculous Spring in Naju began
|
On
January 18, 1990, Jesus promised Julia, “In the not-too-distant
future, through My Mother, I will give you a miraculous
spring close to your place, which will be overflowing
with love and grace and through which souls and bodies
can be healed.?
On August 26, 1992, while praying,
Julia saw a vision of the Blessed Mother climbing up
a mountain, carrying several large bundles of soiled
clothes and linens, one on her head, two in her hands,
and more pushed forward with her feet. She stopped near
a large creek with crystal-clear water and began washing
the clothes and linens. Down the stream not far from
where the Blessed Mother was, many people were drinking
the water and washing themselves with it. Some were
playing joyfully in the creek. The next day Julia went
to the place which she had seen in the vision and began
digging with her bare hands the ground where she had
seen the creek. Every time she dug the ground, water
came out and a stream of water began, and this was repeated
until there were seven streams of water. When she dug
for the eighth time, the seven streams merged into one.
In her message to Julia on the same mountain on May
27, 1993, the Blessed Mother said, ”I will make this
place a shrine of mine and wash numerous souls who are
walking toward hell.?/span>
