The Five Spiritualities of Naju are amazing prayers
that leads to perfection in acquiring our virtues.

bullet03_glitter.gif Praise the Lord! Praise the Blessed Mother!

It’s nice to see you all. Today, people who are suffering from Alzheimer's disease (dementia), Parkinson’s disease, and stroke will be healed. Abundant grace from the Lord and the Blessed Mother will be among us tonight.

What is the Five Spiritualities of Naju? Even if the Lord and the Blessed Mother have raised us repeating their messages for decades, but if we do not follow them, how can we go to Heaven?

We have to pray a lot because some priests and children of God who are called to believe in God are going the wrong way. When I went to Heaven and stood before the throne of God after I died on June 16, 1995, Jesus said, “You make frequent Confessions and do much penance. But you have frequently faltered despite your promise of martyrdom. Will you walk through the fire in order to purify your soul even more?”

The reason why I faltered was that the clergy and nuns committed so many sins with their mouths by misjudging the miracles and the messages of love from the Lord and the Blessed Mother that I spread. So I wanted to quit working for Our Lady of Naju, in order to stop these people from committing sins any more.      

And that’s why Jesus asked, “Will you walk through the fire for the sanctification of the clergy?” instead of saying, “Walk through the fire.” and I answered, “Yes.” And I walked through the fire offering up the pains for the sanctification of the clergy and religious.

However, the priests whom the people admired got proud gradually as they (priests) were misled and collaborated with the devil as they persist in their attack against Our Lady of Naju. These are the priests who are supposed to lead people to Heaven but they openly and deliberately criticize the Blessed Mother before many faithfuls.

The Sacred Hearts of the Lord and the Blessed Mother are torn apart into tens of thousands of broken pieces when the shepherds who are supposed to lead herds of sheep to the right path judge Our Lady of Naju thoughtlessly. If we who know the Lord and the Blessed Mother should at least admit our faults and be awake, then the Lord and the Blessed Mother would be delighted.

The foreign bishops love Our Lady of Naju very much

When I was invited to Pittsburgh in 1990, I also visited Washington and New York.  Everywhere I went, the priests and Catholics welcomed me. At that time I didn’t kiss the people’s cheeks praying with them, but a bishop in Pittsburgh approached me asking me to kiss the big picture frame that he brought with him. The autograph of the Pope was on that frame and the bishop asked me to autograph on it as well and give the kiss of blessing on it. I said, “No.” and I fell on my knees and ask him to bless me first, and then prayed for him. The foreign bishops loved Our Lady of Naju too, in foreign countries, even bishops loved the Blessed Mother of Naju but the resident Korean priests who live in those countries opposed Her wherever I visited.

One day in the USA, I attended a Korean Mass. I didn’t want to be recognized by people. So I prayed to Jesus, “Please, remove the rose fragrance from my body.” They would not notice me if they don’t smell the scent of roses. However, they noticed me by the smell of the fragrance even where I sat in the back row pew and rushed to me saying, “Oh, Julia! Oh, Julia!”

After Mass, I went up to a Korean priest to greet him saying, “I am Julia Kim from Korea.” But he lost his temper suddenly and started to scold me, “Don’t go around spreading that kind of behavior.” and I was dumbfounded. Then, the American Catholics who saw the scene held a demonstration against him asking him to leave the church. So I calmed them down and pleaded with them to stop it.

And, when I visited Hawaii, the Korean priest there also categorically opposed Our Lady of Naju. Then he got a terrible diarrhea and it was hard for him to read Mass and he was not cured for more than a year later.

We have to realize our wrongs right away and repent our sins and make a new start when the Lord treats us with the rod of love like this. However, so many people are still not aware of it.

One time I visited Los Angeles for a meeting in which only Koreans were supposed to gather and share the messages of the Lord and the Blessed Mother of Naju without holding any retreats. However, many people attended the meeting even though it was not held as a retreat. On that day, there was a Filipino American priest who arrived there after 7 hours of wandering because he lost his way. The meeting proceeded with no interpreter present because we thought that only Koreans would attend the meeting. However, he listened to me attentively without moving an inch, nodding his head and looking at me right in the eye. So I thought he understood Korean, but later I found out that he did not understand the language at all. But he said that he comprehended my speech in his heart and he was so touched. Then he got healed.

But, not all Korean priests oppose Our Lady of Naju. When I visited the United States or the Philippines, one of the Korean priests said to me, “Please meet me when I visit Naju later.” And there was also a Korean priest in Baltimore who invited me there.

He was suffering from severe backache and could not be seated for even an hour. But he sat at the table and had dinner with us for an hour, and he also listened to my testimony for three hours sitting down. He did it unwittingly without realizing that he was healed. At that time, the Koreans community borrowed the church premises from the American Catholic church in Baltimore. I heard that a Korean Catholic church was built there after my visit to Baltimore.

So it is very important to be accepted well. When I was invited to Daecheon in 1995, there was only a secondary station (small chapel without a priest) as they needed to build the main church. But there were few people and they were all poor, so it would take many years to build the new church. However, shortly after my visit to Daecheon, they offered up donations and built a large new Parish. How important to Feel is! Even though I cry out saying over again, if they can’t Feel, they cannot offer up well like that. The poor and needy people heard my story and experienced the love of the Lord and the Blessed Mother and who offered generously for the new Church.

“I, who came to Naju lying helplessly on a mat can jump up now!”

Today is the first time among the 1st Saturdays of 2016, right? Let us wash off all our filth and dirt today. And let us think that 'Whom have I hated until now?' When we forgive even the person we cannot formerly forgive, we can be totally healed.

(For example)

When I was in my attic on the 2nd floor, one woman ran up to me. I was surprised and asked her "Sister! What happened to you?" She replied, "Look at me! I can jump up like this even though I came here by laying down on the matting in the bus!" That woman laid down at home because she suffered from a backache while she was working for two restaurants because she was so poor.

Someone recommended her to go to Naju at that time. She couldn't come to Naju because of severe back pain, but she was eager to come to Naju even by laying on the matting. Then she was able to forgive those people who were against her in Naju and got healed. Let us forgive everyone today.

We rationalize and justify ourselves because our ego is hyperactive. So let us break totally our ego today.

When I operated my beauty salon, my third and fourth children were playing in the room. When I entered the room, something from the toy gun that my fourth child was playing with, hit my ear and I fell down.

There is a cunning devil that has
a horn on the head disguising as an angel.

When I opened my eyes, my two children were crying and praying over me by stretching their hands. I asked my youngest, "Why are you crying?" he answered, "Mommy, I didn't shoot you with the gun." "Yes, I know." I answered. He said that he was just holding the empty gun without pulling the trigger, but a shot rang out on its own. I fell down after being shot and my left ear registered some pain as it was hit by something. My youngest child was crying severely and praying after he saw that seven devils made me fall like that and attempted to take my life.

He said that there was an angel that had a horn on the head among the devils. So I told him to draw it and its appearance was an angel's but the horn was hidden slightly. That was the Devil that imitated an angel. According to my children, after they continued praying, real angels appeared and defeated seven devils. And they went inside the chest of the Blessed Mother's statue weeping Tears.

My child cried seeing this, asking me, "Mommy, how painful the Blessed Mother's Heart must be because the devils went into Her!" At that time, I told them in spite of myself, "No. The Blessed Mother called them into Her Immaculate Heart and burned them out with fire from Her heart." Then they smiled.

We say that we should give everything we own to Jesus and the Blessed Mother. Even though we give away all our heavy burden, Jesus doesn't say, "It's heavy!" So let us give everything to Jesus and let us be awake from now onwards.

Long ago, Fr. Matthew Paek Yong-su who was the elder priest of Archdiocese of Gwangju called me asking me to pray for him. At that time, as I did everything under the authority of my parish priest even for permission to visit Kwangju city (nearby city from Naju) So, one time my parish priest said to me "If somebody tells you that you are not obedient, bring all of them to me. I will tell them you are very obedient."

When I told my parish priest about Fr. Paek’s request, he said "I will join you!" and so did a superior nun from the Parish. Andrew drove us to Fr. Paek's place with six people including three sisters. When I asked Fr. Paek "Can I enter your room with my parish priest and sisters together?", he said, "No!". So when I went in alone, he was cauterizing his neck with an iron.

Intestinal obstruction was healed
after having pork ribs enough for 7 persons
consumption

I just prayed for him without knowing about his disease. After that, however, I could not eat anything. When I came back home after visiting him, I just swallowed some water unintentionally. Then I nearly suffocated to death from an obstruction in the airway and had a narrow escape from death. Since then, even though I drank 1cc of water, it was diffused in my throat and trickled little by little down my gullet.

For that reason, I could not get up for 15 days and I was dying. People around me suggested to me to seek medical attention and I later was admitted into a hospital. I became aware of the kind of diseases the priest had. It was dysfunction of the esophagus and cancer. But with his strong belief that he will be healed after my praying over him, he called me to his place. After that, he was not only able to drink water, but also eat food as well.

You should have firm faith as well. Today many things happened to me, but I believed and prayed that you will be healed as much as I suffered. I am definitely sure of it, as I have seen that the more I suffered, the more people were healed through my offering up all my pains. It shall be realized to all of you, too, with your responding with “Amen” at this moment! (Anno: while reading this paragraph, if you also respond with Amen, the grace shall be realized to you, transcending time and space because the word of the Lord is working through Julia)

Father Paek could have meals after prayers. But as for me, even if I could not drink a bit of water, I had extreme diarrhea, for which no medicine work at all, accompanying tremendous pain in my throat, stomach and intestines and even a painful burning heart. I examined an x-ray that showed my intestines full of inflammation with thick black color on the x-ray negative.

The doctor said “inflammation itself is a problem, but the more serious one is that all the intestines are attached to each other, which can be at risk for volvulus. You should lie down motionless and be fed with an intravenous drip.”  But I said, “I will go home and get back.” As soon as I left the hospital, I told Andrew, “Let’s go to the Go-hyang ribs restaurant in Yeong-san-po.” He was surprised, and he asked “What??? What are you going to do in the ribs restaurant?”

“I do not know. I feel the Lord is leading me there!” I answered. At that time, they served large amount of ribs for two persons’ consumption on one plate in the restaurant. Although I could not swallow even a bit of water, I ate the pork ribs hectically as soon as it was roasted. Seeing me eating, Andrew kept asking “Are you ok?” As the fourth plate of ribs was served, he asked in a loud voice, “Are you really ok?” “Yes, I am really ok. As you know, the word that I spoke in spite of myself was led by God, not on my own accord. Wasn’t it?” “Yes, it was…”

Even if he had experienced that kind of things many times while helping at my side, he kept asking whether I was ok because he was so worried about me. But I was healed completely after eating the pork ribs that was fit for over 7 persons’ consumption!

Jesus did not say: “I will cure you by feeding you with the pork ribs fit for over 7 persons” Instead, I did so as I was inspired. And the Lord cured me.

By the way, whenever the Lord wanted me to work for Him, he prepared me preliminarily. (Anno: In this time, Jesus fed Julia and cured her before she practiced love for beggars) After I was full and on the way back home, I found one old man who fell with a flump ahead of our car. I immediately got off the car, calling “Oh my little Jesus!” and approached him. But he tried to run away. I showed him the Image of Jesus on the crucifix of my rosary saying, “He will help you.” Then he followed me.

We should consider our neighbors as Jesus and FEEL it!

So I bought some soup and rice and fed him and bought new clothes for him. I took him to my home and bathe him. One sister asked me, “Is it ok for you to wash his private part?” I answered. “What of it? If you think of it as a finger, it’s not different.” “You look like you're in another world.”

If we don’t think in a lewd way, there is no difference between them, as everything would appear innocuous.

While washing him, a lot of his all skin peeled off even though I washed him gently with warm water that I boiled because he had not washed himself for a long time. Furthermore, more of the skin on his anus and from his private part peeled off.. After I bathed him carefully, I went off looking for an ointment to apply on him. After I came back, however, he disappeared (He was actually Jesus).

Whenever or wherever we are, we should feel that those who are among us are Jesus and Mama Mary. If not, we easily feel disappointed even with petty matters. If we keep on giving joy to the devil of disappointment, we move in and out of hell. We should at least escape from it.

I have frequently told you not to justify, defend or excuse the faults we committed. We should be free from those behaviors. Do we lose our dignity if we admit our faults? Rather, the Lord will be pleased with you and it can bear fruits of the tree of Eternal life in Heaven.

Trying to justify, defend or excuse our faults, saying “Because of this… because of that… For this reason…I did…” is unwise and cowardly, making the fruit of Eternal life fall from the tree. Let us never justify, defend or excuse ourselves, but admit our faults and go forward the Lord and the Blessed Mother as clean souls.

What is the world like? Material civilization is highly developed; on the contrary, people are becoming devastated internally. If we are not awake in this ruined era, from whom can the Lord and the Blessed Mother be consoled? If so, God the Father cannot help sending down chastisement onto this world.

Delinquency of Sodom and Gomorrah is the tip
of an Iceberg compared to the sins of this world

The sins and delinquency in the age of Sodom and Gomorrah is not comparable to this age. The punishment befell them because there was no Blessed Mother at that time, Now, however, we have the Blessed Mother with us who is the reason why the chastisement is deferred even if there are much more grave sins in this world.

The Blessed Mother speaks to us until her throat bleeds, pleading with us to “live well and live well..!!!’, shedding tears of blood. She is also holding God the Father's hand tightly, which is lifted up high, holding the cup of wrath, imploring Him not to send down the chastisement with her tears of blood. Let us fully feel this and make a new start.

We don’t know how long we will live for the rest of our life. Men cannot live hundreds of years. For example, an awfully rich German suddenly could die of a heart attack while he was quarreling with a bus girl for he wouldn’t pay 1 euro less than the full fare.

These days many people do wrongful things. Children are killing their parents in order to collect the insurance, and parents their children, husbands kill their wives, wives their husbands. Horrible things are occurring because they don’t know what heaven or hell is.

Then what about you? You know well what is heaven and hell, don’t you? (Yes!) If so, the only thing we should do is, “seeing just the way to heaven.” No matter how much we strive feverishly to live in affluence, and if hell is waiting for us, what benefit will ever accrue in our struggle?

Things on earth are temporal in limited time and will pass away, but the next world is eternal. So we should go forward to heaven laying down ourselves and searching for what the Lord and the Blessed Mother want us to do, and only follow them. Then we can go to Heaven by arming ourselves with Five Spiritualities.

Our Lord said that it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of the needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God. It does not mean that rich people are not only materially affluent but also have many bad friends lurking within them such pride, selfishness and arrogance, including debauchery.

If our heart is filled with those bad friends, we can’t enter the kingdom of God. We should renounce ourselves and empty our hearts so that Our Lord and the Blessed Mother may dwell within us, then, we can go to heaven easily. Five Spiritualities of Naju is the answer to that. It’s shortcut!  Let’s arm ourselves with Five Spiritualities of Naju.

As we fail to practice the Five Spiritualities, we cross over the border of Heaven and Hell spiritually in this world. If we live with “one day for hell, the other day for heaven”, then when and how can we go to Heaven?

As I told you the last time, a woman who was about to die of cancer wanted to stay in Naju. Even if there were few volunteers, I had her stay in a room of the Chapel. Furthermore she got herpes zoster and pustules spread over her whole body. I took off those pustules carefully with some volunteers then, and bloody pus came out from her wounds.

How great grace is!!!

While I was cleaning all the pustules from her by offering up with prayer of life and applied Naju miraculous water over her body, immediately all wounds and pustules disappeared. Her heart also attained peace. One day she said, “The Blessed Mother is calling me”, so we took her to the Chapel and put her in front of the statue of the Blessed Mother. She was looking at the Blessed Mother and smiled, and after that, she closed eyes and passed away.

She passed away keeping the Blessed Mother in her heart to journey to Heaven.

If she had been healed completely and went back home, worse thing would have occurred to her. This is because her husband had already been living with another woman.

So she left this world with the grace of repentance without bearing any hatred in her heart but only peace and died in front of the Blessed Mother. How graceful it was!!

Without knowing the Blessed Mother of Naju, can people acquire enough knowledge of Heaven? On January 10, 1988, I saw in a vision that there was a high mountain with fourteen stairs that led to heaven.  People climbed the mountain to the ridge. But when they did something wrong, they instantly fell off the stairs and had to climb it over again and again. Those who died after climbing even one step with much difficulty will go to purgatory.

If one reaches the fourteenth step, it is almost Heaven. And they can enter heaven through only one Mass offered for them in this world. But even in the state of 14th stairs, the penances that they must do are different. It will be more or less according to how much good work they had accumulated during their earthly lives. So let us arm ourselves with Five Spiritualities in order to enter directly the kingdom of God.

After I winded up my Beauty salon in order to dedicate myself only to the work of the Blessed Mother, I was looking for land and a proper house for that purpose (to find a place to accommodate pilgrims). I failed to find a proper house and my family had to move to an apartment. The owner sold it at the price of 900 million won including air-conditioner and many potted plants. We were glad because my husband, Julio loved potted plants.

I thought that all the potted plants would be worth millions of won. So I didn’t ask for any discount in the contract. But when I received the keys and enter the apartment, to my astonishment, there was nothing there. They took out even the clothesline. The only thing that was left behind was trash and dust. They didn’t clean the flat at all and left it in a messy state.  The woman who introduced this apartment to me was heartbroken and cried a lot, feeling sorry for me.

But I said to her, “Don’t worry. Let’s think of it just as “Semchigo”. We can reckon as if we had not wanted those things from the beginning and had bought this apartment with a high price.” If we speak ill of them, only our tongues will be contaminated with sins. Let’s pray for them.”  Then she looked so moved.

We can live in Heaven even in this world if we live with the Five Spiritualities of Naju- “it’s my fault, not your fault, and Semchigo, life of offering up, Amen and turning our daily lives into prayers.

Likewise if we arm ourselves completely with the Five Spiritualities of Naju, we can anticipate our Heavenly Kingdom. Therefore let us arm ourselves with Five Spiritualties and enjoy only Heaven in this year of 2016. Amen! Thank you!
