- Excerpts from Julia's testimony during the vigil -   (October 6th,2012)

      The Lord will surely save us if we give  

thanks without forgetting even trivial things

      Praise be Jesus ! and Praise be the Blessed Mother !Praise Jesus ! Praise be the Blessed Mother !

I firmly believe that the Lord and the Blessed Mother will bestow extraordinary graces on all of you today.

I went through a great number of sufferings until I came standing before you like this today. I had an ultrasound due to unbearable pain on my shoulder a few days ago.  The doctor said " Uh oh ?  This area just burst . Oh this area also burst." He continued examining me and said, " two tendons are torn. You should go to University hospital right away. You absolutely need surgery and then physical therapy. I will give you the written diagnosis, the doctor said." However, I did not agree with him. I chose instead to offer this up for your sake.

Now, I have spondylolysis and spondylizema on the 5th spine and on the intervertebral disc on the 3rd and 4th spines.

When I was still single, I was very healthy I could even carry an A-frame carrier with 150 Geun luggage ( 90 kg). Then I developed a very bad condition on my waist as I started to work for the Blessed Mother and I offered up these sufferings.  A long time ago, one of the old women staying at the nursing home ( The House of Love) was involved in a traffic accident. The driver even backed the car out onto her to make sure she was dead.

All her rib-bones were completely crushed from the 1st to the 5th. There was no one who could evacuate her to the hospital due to the seemingly hopeless circumstances and so they just left her lying down on the side of the street. They managed to put oxygen mask on her and stood by her to watch what would happen. People commented that she would be a vegetable even if she survived.

In the hospital, she was only able to drink Naju miraculous water which was brought to her by her daughter. I once went there and prayed for her and later on she was transferred to the general ward from I.C.U. She eventually stopped taking antibiotic, pain reliever and was also disconnected from the respirator. She received a great favor from the Blessed Mother of Naju and she asked for forgiveness repenting with tears to the Lord even though she was a protestant. After two weeks, she became healthier and even visited other sick people.

Just after I prayed over her, I had spondylizema and severely suffered from intervertebral disc problem. Until now when I see those who gained healing graces and see their happiness, I am filled with happiness that I feel as if I was flying in the sky.

As a matter of fact, I met her before the accident and I gave her the medal of St. Benedict and a miraculous medal. She had been keeping them for many years in her wallet without knowing exactly what the medals were meant for. But because of her simple faith, she survived from that kind of shocking accident.

If we do not forget even trivial things but give thanks for everything, the Lord will always protect and surely save us.

This old woman came to our nursing home, the House of Love, 10 years ago and enjoyed good health for many years. She left good memories among all the members.

Dear fellow pilgrims !

We are able to be healed if we accept all the situation with wholehearted faith and trust.  The daughter of this old lady also came to the Blessed Mother's House and repented. She also helped me as a volunteer helper. She was healed of her cancer and in addition her daughter and son whose illnesses were not cured in the hospital were all healed here in Naju. All of you also will receive the same healing graces today . Amen all responded.

According to the Matthew Chapter 7 verse 1-5 :  " Stop judging, that you may not be judged.  For as you judge, so will you be judged, and the measure with which you measure will be measured out to you. Why do you notice the splinter in your brother's eye, but do not perceive the wooden beam in your own eye ? How can you say to your brother, 'Let me remove that splinter from your eye,' while the wooden beam is in your eye? You hypocrite, remove the wooden beam from your eye first; then you will see clearly to remove the splinter from your brother's eye."

We do not judge others thoughtlessly but numerous are those who are judging others.  Ever since when I was young, I did not make many friends. Rather, I avoided meeting many housewives in town after my marriage because many of them were hate-filled mischief-makers and spoke ill of others.

We started living in a room near the main gate of someone’s house for a few years just after marriage because my mother-in-law insisted on her belief of " time to reimburse the wedding expenses." (I saw a few times that my husband Julio gave money to my mother -in-law that was withdrawn from our installment savings ). I also had to give all the money to my mother-in-law from the sale of my hair parlor. Then I was able to rent a tiny room ,eight feet long, with 30,000 won ($ 28 in current exchange rate) near the main gate of their house.

My mother-in-law demanded more money again, so I begged the house owner to change our agreement. I asked to withdraw 30,000 won and change the contract so that I will pay only 7,000 won monthly. The 20,000 won I will give to my mother-in-law and the 3,000 won was to buy good medicines for my husband Julio.

Then I also helped my in-laws by making money doing hair permanent for the people in my hometown. This I did carrying my baby on my back. I never blamed my mother -in-law by thinking, " What's gotten into my mother-in-law ? " I never thought about it even once.

I got through the summer even without a fan

There was another 4 more families in the same house we lived in. One day, the house owner's wife said to me, " Don't you (newly bride) smell the stink from your mouth ?" Because of that, I never went out of the room and no communicated with others. She started speaking ill of her husband and mother-in-law also and even told dirty jokes. Hearing unspeakable stories in this world made me come home hurriedly. Confining myself at home began since that moment.

I felt the scourging heat of summer at the time, because of my voluntary confinement at home. But, I did it because I really hate to hear people speak ill of others. I felt the heat wave because we cannot afford to buy an electric fan as the money I earned from the hair parlor I used to support my in-laws.

On learning how I was living at that time, people told me I was foolish living a life like that in this world. But for me, it made sense as I would rather not hear any abusive words nor hear people speak ill of others.

One day I was invited to a company outing composed of a group of wives of each team at work. This was arranged by my husband who was the head of the team they insisted on attending. As soon as I showed up , they started speaking ill of their mother-in-law and husband and continued criticizing others.   They exchanged information on how to handle them such as. " You should do this in that case and do it like this case, etc " . They also knew Julio's habitual schedule, that he came home late after drinking and they advised me saying," You need to seize the initiative early in life or the result will be out of control" .        Later on they continued saying unspeakable embarrassing words.

The public official's salary was about 10,000 won at the time, but I thought I'd better pay for the fine of 2,000 won ( for not attending the company outing) even though it was still big money for our family back then. I willingly paid for the absence from this gathering since then.

Dear fellow pilgrims !

Let us not speak ill of others and judge others. Don't judge others and don't be prejudiced. Everything will be seen in black if we look at them wearing sunglasses. And everything will be seen negatively if we look at them with prejudices. We have to get rid of prejudices and become simple souls, and then our eyes must be cleared spiritually.

Miracles are truly important

Those priests who are against Naju say, " We must not believe only because of the miracles and healings. " "Don't be blinded by miracles. " But I think it is not true.  Of course, we must not follow because of the miracles only. But, numerous people followed the Lord after witnessing His miracles and this was followed by their repentance.

Because miracles are so important, we must completely entrust all to the Lord and the Blessed Mother and we have to know to give thanks even for trivial things so that we continue to receive many graces.

Theresa Seo came to Naju from Jeonju in 1991.  She fell down due to high blood pressure and fell into a coma and came out of the coma after 8 days.  After that she fell down 6 more times due to myocardial infarction(heart attack), hardening of the arteries, valvular disease of the heart,etc. She was completely paralyzed. Her pulse rate was only 39 and she needed a pacemaker. She could hardly be transported. Under those critical condition, she completely relied on and came to Naju and prayed repenting with profuse tears.   She started feeling so comfortable just after she smelled the fragrance of roses while she was staying in Naju and she was completely healed of all the sicknesses after meeting with me twice.

The words of Jesus in the Bible, " Woman ! Your faith has healed you. Go in peace! "  became a reality for her.

Furthermore, she brought her daughter-in-law who was a Protestant. She was also changed and then she brought her husband who had stayed away from the church for so long and they both came back to the church.

She, Theresa Seo brought many cancer patients to Naju and all of them through her faith were healed by the Blessed Mother.

During the meeting with pilgrims, I prayed that no pilgrims will fall down through the coming of the Holy Spirit's power. This is because it pained me and made me unhappy that in some prayer meetings and charismatic movement, they intentionally forced people to fall down.

In their case, too many pray over the people one by one. So in my case, I wanted them to come group by group and prayed over all of them. Therefore, I do not have any idea who they were and whether they were hurt or not. I anyway, kept on praying over them without realizing who they were.

I was so exhausted and in pain. Later on I found myself praying by putting my hand on the foot of one of the youths who had cancer on his leg. It was decaying and he was scheduled to have it amputated in the hospital.  Miraculously, he was healed of cancer on the spot and he personally drove a car and brought pilgrims the very next day and gave his testimony. Only then did I realize that he was healed at the moment I prayed over him.

  Let us win a victory over the devils  

 of division that fill the sky and earth.

After that, sister Theresa continued coming to Naju with the youth group. However, she stopped coming to Naju after arguing with one of the volunteer helpers. In this case, the devils are happy.

Nevertheless, she was able to bring many people here who received graces and healing and are able to practice the 5 ways of Naju spirituality. They accept everything as their fault and experienced the bright world of being freed from the darkness of sins through repentance and healing graces.

Dear fellow pilgrims !

We must equip ourselves with love. If not, the devils who are filling the sky and earth will bring us down.

The devils of division who are filling the sky and earth will cause us to quarrel with one another and create conflict with one another in order for us not to do good works through mis-hearing, mis-looking, misunderstanding, etc. Have I not always been telling you this ?

The devil's intention is for you to hear wrongly what others want to say. Therefore, we always keep awake and pray to win victory over the devils of division.

Dear fellow pilgrims !

Let us bear these in our minds well always and practice it. Then the devils of division will be obliged to run away from us.

A few days ago, I could not walk due to plantar fasciitis. It is now healed after 3 days and I am able to walk well by dipping my feet in a liquid medicine that the Lord gave me.

It takes at least 2 weeks to 3 months for plantar fasciitis to be cured in the hospital. This is not what I am going to tell you about my healing case. The main point is to be healed if anyone who has the same and similar symptom by hearing about my severe pains that I offered up for your sake.

Dear fellow pilgrims !

A simple acceptance is important.

It going to be actually toto caelo different between two of these " The Lord is now giving me the grace " and " Damn it, giving me this much only " when something suddenly happens to you.

The Lord and the Blessed Mother already knows how much we give gratitude for .....

Today also surrender yourself completely and be healed and be healthy spiritually and physically. Let us become instruments to promote the love of the Lord and the Blessed Mother to the whole world. Amen ~~~

I love you !

I love you very much ! and I love you forever !

Thank you so much again and see you next prayer meeting !
