On
Jun 30, 2004, about 2,000 pilgrims including many from abroad came to Naju
for the celebration of the 19th anniversary of the
Blessed Mother's first weeping tears in Naju, Korea.
For the first time, the original statue of the
Blessed Mother was carried to the Blessed Mother's mountain from the Chapel
for the overnight prayer meeting. Fr. Andrew
from Indonesia, Fr. Jerry Orbos from the
Philippines and Fr. Francis Su from Malaysia concelebrated the Mass commemorating the 19th anniversary of the Blessed Mother's first
weeping in Naju.
The
Blessed Mother exuded fragrant oil giving off an
intense fragrance of roses at the entrance to the
Blessed Mother's mountain, on the paved areas in
front of the 12th Station and on the altar near
the statue of the risen Lord at the 15th
Station.
One
picture showed seven rays of light radiating from
the Blessed Mother. We think that these signify
Our Lady's seven joys and seven sorrows.
