- Excerpts from Julia's testimony during the vigil -   

(July 7th, 2012 )

I meditated following an entreaty while I was praying the rosary at the site of Mt. Calvary.  Because of the many clergy and religious who are supposed to make the Lord known and take numerous flocks  of sheep to heaven are not living according to the will of the Lord,  I offered my sufferings and eagerly prayed that " As things like scales fell from Saul's eyes, let the scales of darkness which has covered their (clergy and religious) eyes as well as their whole bodies be removed."

Saul was also not able to believe and follow Jesus if scales did not fall from his eyes. Saul was trying to destroy the church and kill those who believed in Jesus. However, Jesus  appeared to him and so Saul regained his sight and received the light. He was then filled with the HHHoly Spirit and gave up all the wealth and honor in this world and started preaching the word of Jesus.

That's why I also respect and love the Apostle Paul very much. Therefore I prayed fervently that just as scales fell from Saul's eyes, not only will scales fall from the eyes of the clergy and religious but also from those who are not believers in the Lord and the Blessed Mother.

On July 7th 2007, Jesus and the Blessed Mother said  " God the Father is holding off the cup of just wrath, because there is a little soul like you who stay awake to pray like this."

Everyone knows what is the first Saturday.

The pains of the Blessed Mother has continued since she conceived Jesus. But on that day, she revealed her sorrow for the first time. It was a day when she was up all night crying miserably and prayed for her son Jesus and for the conversion of sinners.

The Blessed Mother said "pray together in this night which represents the time when my Son passed from death to Resurrection and the day when He crossed from death to life." Therefore, all of you who are present in this place have responded with "Amen" to  the word of the Blessed Mother.

Is there anything she will not give you who have responded with "Amen" to the call for  consolation by the Lord and the Blessed Mother who loves even wicked sinners?

Dear fellow pilgrims ! Ask and knock at the door !

Are there any parent who will give snake and scorpion to their children who wanted an egg ?

Even parents who live in  this world  give good gifts to their children. Therefore God the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit through the Blessed Mother will give us much more than we expect.

Let us completely entrust our needs to the Lord and the Blessed Mother who are now about to bestow it on us. Receive it, receive it all.  It will be granted as you ask.

 I was invited by the Bishop of Saipan to the Marian Conference at Saipan Cathedral from January 10th to 19th. There was a sister there who hasn't walked for 17 years due to a leg deformity. She also could not speak due to a big tumor on her neck. She used a crutch to assist her in walking because she was too poor to buy a wheel chair. Her whole body became too weak after 8 years of suffering from diabetes and it's complications.

You cannot imagine how terrible it was to live in that condition. It was like a living hell  for her.  She could not eat and speak due to the big tumor pressing down on her throat. Even though she had nothing to live for, she could not commit suicide because of her Catholic faith.

Thoroughly hurting and helped by someone, she came to the place where I was conducting some healing prayers. She prayed and got better after attending the masses, hearing the messages of the Blessed Mother and the testimonies.

She attended 8 healing prayers at 8 different churches and in each of these places of faith, she participated with great devotion. She gave her testimony on the last day, and she, on the spot, started jumping and walking  immediately after her testimony.

At first, she could not walk alone without help from others and it was difficult for her to move her shoulders, but a miracle happened to her. Furthermore, her blood-sugar  became normal and other abnormal symptoms disappeared.

What I am talking about is that she was healed by obeying the priest who insisted that she give her testimony. All who witnessed it were crying realizing the power of a tremendous almighty God.

You, who are here now make the Lord and the Blessed Mother stop shedding tears and tears of blood by filling this place with faith and not submitting to all kinds of persecutions but instead overcoming it.

In this world, even majority of the shepherds personally chosen by the Lord have lost their discernment and live badly. Many of them only seek wealth.

If money is needed to go to heaven, then we strive to make money. But money is not needed to go to heaven. We are able to go to heaven only by following Jesus with a simple faith and in humility like a child.

Everything will be seen beautifully if instead of envy and jealous, we adopt a positive  mind and eyes. But everything will be darkness if we have negative mind and eyes.

According to the passage in the Bible, Luke Chapter 6 verses 47 - 49:   " I will show you what someone is like who comes to me, listens to my words, and acts on them.  That one is like a person building a house, who dug deeply and laid the foundation on rock; when the flood came, the river burst against that house but could not shake it because it had been well built.

But the one who listens and does not act is like a person who built a house on the ground without a foundation. When the river burst against it, it collapsed at once and was completely destroyed"

The way of love to Jesus and to follow Him is not a superficial way but to truly practice the word of Jesus is very important. When we pray the prayer of life, it is also important to practice it with love and devotion.

Now, I would like to share what consequences will happen if we do not practice and take care of the graces that we have received.

At Naju parish church ,there was one parishioner who liked hunting, fishing, enjoying coffee at the coffee shop daily, and loved to drink, gamble and smoking 2 packs of cigarettes a day.

When the Blessed Mother's Statue started weeping, he stated," Is the Blessed Mother's Statue weeping ? What a cock-and-bull story!" and even he disdainfully said that I was just a woman from the country.

One day, brother Joseph from some monastery was scheduled to visit Daegun Society and he promised to have spicy-fish soup together with him. Instead, brother brought him to the Blessed Mother's House with some other pilgrims, so he was forced to hear my testimony.

In the beginning, he really did not want to listen to me and even did not like to look at me. So he closed his eyes and wanted to have this situation ended as soon as possible.

All of a sudden, he started crying. He never wept so much before. the words he heard deeply touched his heart and he repented of his past way of wrong-living . He also realized that his idea of a "country woman" changed completely and he fully understood why brother couldn't leave this place earlier.

He only heard one hour of my testimony out of three and a half and felt so sorry that he missed the previous parts of my testimony and so he spoke to Julio. " Older (big) brother ! I'm sorry to have judged Julia." He continued to say, "Is there anyone who is prettier than sister-in-law( Julia Kim) ? Please allow me to come and hear her whole testimony. I may be able to be enlightened more if I hear all of it."

By understanding the teachings imparted during the 3rd anniversary of Blessed mother's weeping on June 30th, he, fortunately, stopped smoking, drinking, gambling and drinking coffee at the coffee shop daily.

His new life began, full of joy, love and peace that is irreplaceable in this world. He was soaked with a sense of happiness he never ever felt before and he naturally opened  his mouth in praises and songs to the Lord. There was not a thing which was not beautiful to him. Like many people , he was just a lukewarm Christian before.  Later, he truly and newly met the Lord. He became kind and for him the whole creation appeared so beautiful.

He was running a supermarket but before he never concentrated on managing it well. Only his wife took good care of the supermarket. Since his transformation, he practiced turning his daily life into prayer.  He cleaned the  inside and outside of the supermarket neatly arranging the goods on the shelves and continuously singing songs with joy so that the market's atmosphere became brighter than before and so the customers were happy. Furthermore, his face which appeared black and wasted by drinking, smoking and other vices had changed into a brighter and smiling face.

Customers came and said " how come you look younger ?  What is your secret ?" and he replied, " Why don't you come to the Blessed Mother's House even once? That's the secret. "

By the way, he suffered a myocardial infarction (heart attack). It's fatality rate is 95 % with only 5 % survival rate.  He hanged between life and death but despite that he  survived.

I went and prayed over him at Josun University Hospital. After praying over him, he walked down to see me off, and his doctor said " You will be confined longer if you are not listening to the doctor ."

Then he was healed without taking any medicines. The doctors said that it was a miracle. He anyway received much graces and he diligently worked for Naju for a while.

Because he was living filled with graces, the devil of division did not let him continue to live filled with grace. Envy and jealousy are so horrible. He was entrapped by one brother who was envious and jealous of him.

Many kinds of traps caused by envy and jealousy are so harmful and troublesome even if  one has joined forces with the most respected priest, religious, superior, and some prophet in the Blessed Mother's House.

I mean to say, he suffered by distrusting the clergy and religious, became distressed and troubled and finally lost his faith. Then he left the Blessed Mother's House and left this world forever.

Dear fellow pilgrims !

Do not be shaken no matter what difficulties you are facing. Now I am telling you about this story in order for you not to be shaken.

The devils are trying to use all kinds of scheme to lead us who are following the Lord and the Blessed Mother to the way of destruction by cutting off the love of God. So we need to take good care of the graces we have received, so that we keep the graces well. Otherwise, they will be snatched away by the devil.

There will be many adversities in the midst of laboring for the Lord and the Blessed Mother , but let us take good care of His graces.

As you heard about him, he received many graces but became a person who did not practice them accordingly.

I married the eldest son in a family of 8 brothers and sisters. I started my own hair parlor after many trials and error and struggles in my life. Not long after I opened the hair parlor, one day my husband Julio came to me with a ghastly face. As a matter of fact, Julio had underwritten his cousin's debt, but he went bankrupt. Eventually, Julio's salary was foreclosed because the principal and interest wasn't reimbursed.

I paid back the principal and interest at the time even though I also took a loan from the Credit Association for my hair parlor.

Under these circumstances, my cousin and her older sister kept on talking on the phone for over one hour while I was in the middle of fixing a client's hair. They said, " Had you underwritten for you to see her fall to ruin ? We're washed up because of that "

Even their mother said " how come you had underwritten his debt and brought her in ruin ?" " my daughter wouldn't be in ruin without your underwriting the debt .. etc " got confused hearing all kinds of abusive languages. Actually, I did not know that Julio had underwritten his cousin's debt. I paid back all without knowing any of the reason.

I was supposed to react in a human way as, " How dare you speak to me that way, you are the one who caused this problem!"  I could have said something like this. But I understood that " Ah ! this is the scheme by the devil to take happiness away from me as well as cut off the relationship between the love of God and myself. " and I prayed " O Jesus ! Glory be to you! " Then I offered them to God. They are devotees of protestantism.

Anyway, such things were happening in my life without ceasing. But I think this is also from the love of God.

We, who are followers of Jesus and the Blessed Mother must be held in contempt by the people of the world. A little contempt means, not so much love from God. If you were held in contempt, please think, " Ah ! God love me so much !" So, we, who are following the Lord and the Blessed Mother who have come to Naju and are present with us have to do our best. How Jesus and the Blessed Mother would be so pitiable if They hear the cause of wrongdoing  is  a " Naju Jesus follower " and a " Naju Mary follower "

Dear fellow pilgrims !

Let us always remember Luke Chapter 6 verse 47 to 49, and give God our all-out efforts until we reach heaven.

Can it be destroyed if we build the house on solid ground?  Will it collapse from heavy rain and strong typhoon ?  But it will collapse if we misuse our free will . And so we have to keep awake and pray.

All of you who came here in the middle of all kinds of persecutions, are most blessed according to the word of Matthew chapter 5 verse 11 to 12.

" Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you and utter every kind of evil against you (falsely) because of me.

Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven. Thus they persecuted the prophets who were before you. "

Let us rejoice!

The Lord love even us wicked sinners. But what do you think about it ? All of you also love obedient children better ? And love children who are accommodating and doing good deeds than those who are not doing well ? Jesus and the Blessed Mother are also like us, bestowing us with the same love and light  accordingly.

How the Lord and the Blessed are happy to look at you who follow them in the middle of all kinds of persecutions, and being spiritually equipped by turning their lives into prayer try to walk the way of virtue, perfection and humility.

Even many of the shepherds who remain spiritually blind and deaf and unable to discern, are quick about criticizing others while covering up their own faults, and behave in cunning and flattering ways to satisfy their worthless secular desires. The damages to the souls who follow them are extremely serious. Settle down deeply in this Mommy's Heart  that flames up violently like an active volcano.

So I went confession so that all of them will be saved. When we are weary and fall into difficulties, we may think like this. So I am telling you that I also am weak and unworthy.

No matter what mistakes and faults you commit, do not be disheartened and frustrated but rise above them immediately instead. The devil will rejoice if we fall into  despair ,frustration and a state of dejection. We could make mistakes. However we acknowledge our mistakes and faults immediately and simply follow Jesus and the Blessed Mother.

If we make compromises and excuses one after another, the Lord will dislike and blame us. Now, we should not make compromises and excuses and reject any acts of self-justification and self-defense.

The Lord will love us more when we simply acknowledge our sins and come closer to the Lord like St. Magdalene whom He loved the most.

What was the life of Cain and Abel ?  Despite the fact that Abel was killed by his older brother Cain, Abel went to heaven and met God. However, Cain went to hell because he did not repent of his sin of murdering his brother because of envy and jealousy. The situation would have changed if Cain repented and asked forgiveness from God even though he killed Abel.

Peter who proclaimed he would follow Jesus even to hell denied Jesus even after he pledged his loyalty to Him. However, he repented immediately as soon as he heard the cock crow. Eventually, he was martyred by being crucified upside down.

Through always reflecting on these two examples of Mary Magdalene and the apostle Peter, we will be able to be humble.

They gained Heaven by repenting of their mistakes and continued to follow Jesus and preach the will of Jesus in spite of knowing that they were also sinners.

In life, we will always commit sins and make mistakes, But let us all practice more simply the word of the Lord and the Blessed Mother by living a life of reparation offering all to our Lord and the Blessed Mother. Let us not look back but instead, let us together take the hands of the Blessed Mother which is the link between heaven and earth. Amen !.

           Thank you so much and I love you all.
