The excerpts from Julia Kim’s Testimony  
on May 16, 2016

Let us take out the stones and pull out
all weeds from our hearts from the roots and arm
ourselves with repentance, prayers and words.

Praise the Lord! Praise the Blessed Mother!

Today we are celebrating the Month of Mary and 25th anniversary of the Eucharistic Miracle (Eucharist changed into visible flesh and blood of Jesus on Julia's tongue). We should give thanks to the Lord today celebrating His anniversary, particularly for you who have been chosen as selected grains among good grains. I'd like to congratulate you with my sincere heart and I wish the infinite love of the Lord and the Blessed Mother to be with you always.

When Jesus came into this world, he healed many people. It is not only because he had pity on sinners, but also he heals in order to proclaim the Kingdom of God showing the almighty power of God. He did that also to strengthen the peoples’ faith in His Gospel. If he spread his Gospel without signs or miracles, people would not believe or hear Him. But people saw the wonders of Jesus when he healed the lepers. What he did made people believe in him, did they not?

Do you know the Korean proverb, “Seeing is believing”? Even though “Believing without seeing is called the true blessed”, Thomas (the apostle) was blessed to believe at once when he saw and touched the wounds of Jesus.  

Jesus performed the wonderful miracle of love with five loaves and two fishes that fed about five thousand men. They ate and were satisfied so much so that twelve wicker baskets of left overs were collected. Seeing this miracle, many people believed in Jesus and followed him.

We should simply believe the miracles that Jesus performed. Nowadays, however, even priests deny the miracles, with their strange logic, exclaiming, "One boy laid down his food of five loaves and two fishes. When the adults saw this, they were ashamed of themselves and they, too, laid down their foods together, so that everybody was adequately fed.” (Anno: This is the Modernist idea taught by theologians who were widely known)

How could they ever imagine that it was possible that Five thousand would be satisfied with only so little bread and fishes and how could it be possible then, to have twelve wicker baskets of left overs? Because it was made possible by Christ who created that miracle, many came to believe when they actually witnessed that very miracle of Jesus.

Jesus and the Blessed Mother accept us
when we rush to Them with complete trust despite of our sins.

Why does Jesus show us his Eucharistic Miracle? It is because many children don't understand or realize, or believe if there are only mere verbal proclamations about the Eucharist without visible signs. If they were able to understand, He would have give messages only. But because they were doubtful, that made Jesus showed the miracles in himself.

After the ascension of Jesus, as His apostles proclaimed Jesus, by performing more miracles, that many people believed and were baptized. As times went by, people slacked off and were scattered in the next 700 years.

One Eucharistic Miracle occurred in Lanciano, Italy in 8th century. Through this Eucharistic Miracle, many children who were scattered far into Muslim religion returned to the Holy Catholic Church. In Naju, Jesus performed the Eucharistic Miracles over and over again as there are people who don't understand or accept.

Do you know how many times the Eucharistic Miracles occurred (through Julia of Naju)? (Pilgrims: Yes, 33times!) Please raise your hand, if there is anyone who witnessed the Eucharistic Miracles in Naju. Yes, there are many. Ok, put your hands down.

It is important to witness the Eucharistic Miracles, but it is more important to believe and follow Him to the end. Going to Heaven is not that easy. It is written in the Bible: "For it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.”

How can a camel pass through the eye of a needle? If my guess is right, the mouth of a mosquito could go through the eye of a needle, but for the whole mosquito, it is impossible to pass through. That is, to go to Heaven is very difficult. Therefore, Jesus and the Blessed Mother came to Naju and call us over and over again to show the shortcut to enter the Kingdom of God.

The Eucharist is the very body of Jesus. And who is Jesus? (Pilgrims: Jesus is God!) What does God do? (Pilgrims: He is our almighty Father!) Jesus is alive, the Son of God who wishes that all of us repent and forgive our sins and save us even though we are twisted and distorted by sins.

He is not just merely the almighty God; He is Our Lord who loves even the distorted and sordid soul infested by sins. He is Our Lord who loves even the wicked sinners, wishing for their repentance! So, we should rush to the Lord with absolute trust. Although we have numerous faults or sins, He will accept us if we come closer and closer to Him (begging forgiveness).

Jesus said in His message, "When you open your heart widely and return to Me, I will not question your past, but will bestow the cup of blessing on you."

Jesus and the Blessed Mother shine the light
even on Naju pilgrims' family members

Thus we should repent every day and every moment, not with a lukewarm life but one living a life of complete conversion, which is rendered difficult.

Also turning our daily lives into prayers is not supposed to be with taking the easy-way of offering lightly without sincerity. It should be offered as much as we can, praying in our hearts, not by praying loudly to put more sincerity into our hearts.

People tend to pray just one time during whatever they do in turning their lives into prayers. For instance, while brushing teeth, they pray one time (e.g. "Lord! Clean our souls..."); while rinsing their mouths after brushing their teeth, they pray just one time again (e.g. "Lord! Wash our souls..."). That is not all!

At Every act whenever you move to brush your teeth and clean them, you can offer each soul (e.g. remembering your father, mother, son, daughter, mother in law, daughter in law, friends, somebody whom you can't forgive...), and while you brush your teeth at any one time, you can also pray for many people.

Do you know the Korean proverb “Seeing is believing”? Even though “Believing without seeing is called the true blessed”, Thomas (apostle) was blessed to believe at once when he physically saw and touched the wounds of Jesus.

On May 16, 2006, while we were commemorating the 15th anniversary of the first miracle of the Eucharist turning into visible flesh and blood (in Naju) and also celebrating a special vigil in honor of the Blessed Mother, Jesus and the Blessed Mother appeared. The Blessed Mother began speaking, “Your Lord, Who is present in the Mystery of the Holy Eucharist and He who loves even the souls who have become hardened with sins, and this Momma, who is the shortcut for bringing up all of you with extreme love and taking you to Heaven, bestow boundless blessings on all of you” The Lord also smiled with delight and raised His hand high and gave us His heartfelt blessing. When we sang the hymn “Mary’s Ark of Salvation” at the end of the prayers, Jesus appeared again and blessed the pilgrims gathered there and the Blessed Mother also gave her blessings to all of them.

I prayed, " Oh Jesus! Thank You for sending down abundant graces upon all the children gathered here. However, if even one morsel of sin remains in our souls, please remove that without leaving any unforgiving sin. If it is necessary that I suffer pains to heal everyone, I will gladly undertake all sufferings on their behalf.“

Bright light radiated from the Blessed Mother on May 16, 2006

Jesus said, “I have already totally laid down Myself shedding My Blood for the salvation of even the most wicked sinners who have trespassed on the sacred dignity of God; what would I not lay down for you who are seeking Me? My Mother and I are consoled by seeing your hearts filled with love for the sake of the conversion of sinners” and He shone the light on all who were present and bless them. Dear pilgrims! Today, may the same light come down upon all of you!

At that moment, a very powerful light radiated from the Lord and the Blessed Mother penetrated my body. My body was lifted up and, then, fell backward. My head hit the ground forcefully. I gladly offer up the pain for those who were present and even their families so that the same light may flow into all of them. Then Jesus showed me that he granted my prayers. Also, today, I hope and pray again that the same grace will flow into your families too! (Amen!)

The Miracle we can’t explain medically

Willy from Bali, Indonesia came to Naju 10 years ago. When he came to Naju for the first time in 1996, he had pain in his heart feeling like being pressed by tens of tons of weight. He had diagnosis that showed his heart is full of fat with 95% of his heart disorder, where only 5 percent remained functional. This disorder was also accompanied with many kinds of diseases.

The only way he could survive is to transplant his vein from the other part of his body into his heart. Even though he was in serious and undergoing severe condition, he flied to Naju the first time in 1996. He prayed with me in Naju. While he was at prayer with me, he felt his heart became very light without any pains. On his way home, he went to a hospital for review. The doctor said, “It is completely miraculous! It is impossible to explain medically but only with faith!”

Willy, since then never took medicines or gone into hospital. Then he came back to Naju in 2006. It was on May 16, 2006 when he came again to Naju and he was perfectly healed. Some people who have been healed of their illness 100 percent and some others who were saved from eminent death became fully alive because they follow the Lord the Blessed Mother with complete trust.

Let us not forget that we are instruments of the Lord in whatever we do. Let us become humble souls, meditating the donkey who’s back Jesus rode on, taking Jesus carefully in order not to let him fall from its back. (If the donkey became elated, it could have jumped with joy and pride when people were cheering for Jesus when he rode into Jerusalem. In its elation, the jumping donkey could have made Jesus could fall down fall from its back)

Dear pilgrims! Let us try to be more humble from now on for the rest of our lives.

Because Jesus love children in the world so much, He manifest that Love by coming to them in the form of bread hiding His Divinity, dignity and even human appearance. He comes to us in the form of bread because of His great Love for us. But many souls pay little attention to His Real Presence, and choose to insult Him making sacrilegious Communions, and neglect him with ingratitude.

No matter how hard He may try to give His Love to us, if we can’t accept it, what can He, who gave us free will, do for us? Our Lord Jesus, Who is present in the Mystery of the Holy Eucharist, is a spring that never dries, a medicine that can save sick souls, and a doctor to the patient. He loves even souls who have become so sordid and distorted because of sins, because He is Love Itself. So, when we come to Jesus through the Sacrament of Confession, He will wash away our sins that dirtied our souls and allow us to stay in His Love.

So many people in this world bow and flatter worldly rulers, but only extremely few children kneel in front of the Lord of the Heavens and the King of the Universe, adoring Him and asking for His graces. These compunctious souls tears my heart. Could you imagine how painful it is to the Lord’s and the Blessed Mother’s hearts?

Even the most fertile soil turns infertile, if neglected. Likewise, the water in a pond decays, if it stays static. You should understand this well. Therefore, remove the stones from your hearts, pull out all the weeds from them and arm yourselves with conversion, prayers and following the Word of God.

In this age, the devils corrupt numerous peoples' consciences by tempting them to commit sins of impurity even leading to murders; destroying human dignity by abortions; dragging them into errors and all kinds of sins such as corruption, injustice, curses, violent words, hatred and revenge; and make them walk the way of selfishness and self-centeredness. Our Blessed Mother laments, “How sorrowful my Son Jesus feels when He sees all these children!”

Let us who know Jesus and the Blessed Mother remain awake and practice the Messages of Love given by Jesus and the Blessed Mother. Let us entrust the remainder of our lives, regardless whether we live short or long lives, dedicate them to the Lord and the Blessed Mother and walk the little person’s way of love.

Pride can destroy the sky, but Love can lift the sky to higher proportions. Let us arm ourselves with love, Amen!
