have called you and am holding your hands. Now renounce everything, follow me
completely and practice and spread my messages of love. Then, through you, who
think you are unworthy and poor, great miracles of love beyond anyone's
imagination will be accomplished.
I, who am
the Helper in Redemption, …
I
will make you the Lord's glorious garland of flowers. "

A Heartfelt Welcome for Our Lady of Naju by The Blessed Diocese of Ruteng, Indonesia
This is a report on the Marian conference
in Ruteng in late March, 2007, which the Bishop and the faithful of that
diocese had prepared for with lots of prayers and hard work for a long
time. As it was during Lent, Mrs. Julia
Kim was suffering pains more severely than usual, but she entrusted everything
to the Blessed Mother as usual and left for Indonesia.
The airplane to Ruteng did not have enough
seats for all thirty-plus companions from Korea. One third of them had to take a bus. Julia was suffering extreme pains and would
find the bus trip especially difficult, but said, “We will live together or
die together.” So, they all took a
bus. Julia offered up the pains with
love.
Julia and her companions arrived in Ruteng
four or five hours later than scheduled.
There were countless people by the roadside enthusiastically welcoming
the bus and car parade which carried the statue of the Blessed Mother of Naju,
Julia and her companions.
In a striking contrast to the condition in Korea, the
Indonesian Bishops and priests were enormously fervent and earnest in welcoming
the visitors. One could easily see the
genuine love and joy that was overflowing in their hearts. The local government declared March 24 and 26
(in addition to March 25, Sunday) special holidays so that more people could
participate in this special occasion.
The hospitality of the Indonesian people toward the Korean visitors was
most sincere and moving.
During this Marian conference, the Lord and
the Blessed Mother made clear Their intention to accomplish Their work through
Julia, whom They chose, by working many miracles of healing the dumb, the deaf,
the blind, and other handicapped people through Julia’s prayers of reparation
combined with her sacrifices.
Julia always joyfully asks for more pains
for the benefit of others, but, as a result, she does suffer enormous
pains. Nevertheless, she embraced and
kissed every one of the enormous crowds at every gathering, revealing her
heroic love as an apostle of the Sacred Heart of the Lord and the Immaculate
Heart of the Blessed Mother.
The time when Julia was individually
greeting and praying for the priests, religious, and lay people was filled with
strong emotion and love. The Lord and
the Blessed Mother poured down Their love and grace like a waterfall upon Their
children in Indonesia
who loved the Blessed Mother of Naju so much that they invited Julia to their
land. To them, Julia relayed the
messages of love from the Blessed Mother of Naju and repeatedly emphasized that
the Lord and the Blessed Mother love them very much so that they may accept
well Jesus Who is truly alive in the Eucharist and has come as the Transfuser
for sinners and may practice love. She
told them about twenty-five Eucharistic miracles.
Julia also emphasized that the prayer of
life for the sanctification of oneself and other souls might be difficult to
practice at the beginning but, if practiced patiently and assiduously at every
moment of life even including what happened in the past, it would be a
wonderful and powerful prayer that could help the Lord’s and Blessed Mother’s
work of human salvation and could dissolve our lives in the Lord so that we
might advance in acquiring holy virtues.
She said that, even though the numerous
signs as well as spiritual and physical healings are important, what the Lord
and the Blessed Mother really wish is that we practice Their messages and live
our life based on the Gospel teachings so that every soul, not leaving any
single one behind, may not be abandoned but be saved.
We deeply thank the Bishops of Bali and Ruteng who made this Marian conference possible
and successful with their prayers, sacrifices and love. In this Lent and the Easter season
afterwards, let us offer up more prayers and sacrifices for the official
recognition of the Blessed Mother of Naju, being aware of the honor of being
aboard Mary’s Ark of Salvation as people who have transcended (their
self-centeredness and the things of the world) and have been saved.
All the glory to the Lord! Amen!
