Praise Jesus! Praise the Blessed Mother!

Nice to meet you! I am so glad to see you, even more than before because I didn’t expect to come here today. I offered up my every pain for all of you who are gathered here today to be with the Blessed Mother of Naju, being the last day of 2019. (Amen! Applause)

 

A normal adrenal gland level is 18 but my level went down to just 0.5. If it gets to 0.0, it could mean certain death. Last night I suffered pains on my side being pierced by a spear which penetrated into my pleural cavity and it swelled up like a breast. When I suffered pains on my side or in my heart, I have experienced pains of being stabbed by a knife and poked by iron sticks, but this time, something worse burst out from my insides. A strong strike here ‘Pow’ and ‘Pow’ from inside to outside.

Before, I used to scream out with pains of hell and pains in reparation for abortions and for aborted babies. Normally, I hardly screamed in pain. But today, I couldn’t help any longer but shout loudly because of severe pains. “Aak!”; I shouted much louder than ever before.

So, my caregiver Sister couldn’t sleep worrying for me! And I assured her, “Oh, I am much better now” (urging her to go to bed). I pretended to sleep with the lights off. And I continued struggling in pain alone quietly until dawn. Each time whenever the pains attacked, I just offered them up for our priests and for all of you. These pains were just too much for me so I thought I couldn’t make it here.

 

When my caregiver Sister slightly touched me here (pleural cavity), she could sense this part is heavy. Have you ever heard or felt such pain like this? It was like something struck so strongly internally from my body to outside. That’s why this part swelled up.

It just came out from inside like this. After a general check-up at the internal medicine dept of the hospital, the doctor said, “There is nothing wrong. Go to the surgery dept.” Before X-ray, I shouted, “Aak!” Suddenly an old woman sat down next to me, so I said in worry, “Ma’am~, what disease brought you here?” She replied, “I just can’t breathe.” I put my hand on the pitiable old woman’s chest, pretending not to pray for her, for I do not want to make any disturbance there. Meanwhile, again “Aak”! Then, a lady who was watching me said, “Oh my~ It seems you are a more serious patient.”

And another groan burst, “Aak!” but I touched and prayed again over the lady. “Aak!”, again, then the lady stared at me and said “No way, you are in a more serious condition, but why do you keep doing this for this old lady?” But rather, the old woman became happy with my touch and said, “Aw, I said I’m sick and I can’t breathe!” So the other lady said, “Oh! it’s natural that elders get sick. Who can prevent getting old?” I continued praying for her not to be hurt by the lady’s saying. She continued, “You are more sick!” As I still tried to care for the old lady, “Grand-mam! Let me lead you to the X-ray~~Aak!” The lady cut me off and said, “Let her go alone! The doctors and nurses here will help her!” She said in an angry voice; “It’s not right that the more sick cares for the less sick.”

But later, the lady said, “Okay, she acted in such way because she has a warm-heart~ Yes~” When I saw the old lady leaving, I said, “Grand-mam, be healthy.” And then “Aak!” But another woman said, “Hey! Take good care of yourself!” But the old lady looked so happy “Okay~” I have done nothing well. I’m not better than anyone here. Why I am here is because Jesus saved me from the dead, and entrusted this work to me. I have done nothing well. If there’s one thing I can do well, it’s that I smile even in suffering.

Despite deathful pain, when I come smiling with makeup, even my husband cannot notice my pain and said, “Oh! You are better today.” So I said, “Am I? Are you really my husband?” He didn’t ask me “Are you feeling better today?” but said, “Oh, you are better today.” So no one else knows the detail (of my pain) except the people living together with me. Do I look like I am in such pain? (No!) The only thing I can do well is smile despite the suffering. I haven’t been able to speak normally since this morning. When I speak, I find myself speaking words that differ from my thoughts. But I realize that ‘Oh~ Those who are not clear mentally, and have depressions, and emotional ups and downs will be healed!’ (Amen! Applause)

Today, a doctor in the surgery department said after checking my abdomen, “I think the treatment for you is beyond my capacity”. Doctors don’t usually say like that. “Your disease is out of my hand. I don’t know anything about your symptoms.” I said, “I have an occasion to attend at midnight. Please do something, anything.” But he said my condition was beyond his capacity and couldn’t do anything at all. So my caregiver Sister said, “Then, please let her get some painkillers.” The doctor said, “No. It would be more fatal to her at the present condition in complicating diseases.”

Just before then, I discharged so much blood that I had to be transferred to the internal medicine department, but they told me to go to orthopedics instead. That’s how I suffered more. It made me so difficult to sit like this or stand because of my bloody protruded anus. Doctors have said it is fourth-stage hemorrhoids that had spread over ten years, and I am now undergoing my most critical condition than previously. But I am offering up these sufferings for you...! Not only for your healing from hemorrhoid, but also to rid of your bad habits and obscene thoughts! Let us blow them all away today, end of 2019. (Amen!)

There are what we’ve done well and wrong in our lives so far. I said that it’s important to Feel (Divine Love), did I? We have to Feel It. Today, I have one thing I want to say. Whatever we do, Do our Best! (Amen!)

“This is my work, so it is I who should do this.” It is not right thinking. But to do our best when we have something to do is pleasing to the Lord. (Amen!) When you do your best, then the Lord will do it for you. When I was still single, and when I first met Julio, he was in charge of 4-H Club. (4-H Club : Head, Heart, Hands, Health, A youth development program from the U.S. grooming kids into pragmatic leaders. It was administered in 1902 by the Cooperative Extension System of the US Department of Agriculture, and it extended a branch in Korea 1947.)

People used to say about me, “Did you put a lock on your lips?”, “Are you dumb?”, “You’re going to be dumb.” Because I was a person of few words. But Julio suddenly came to me and asked me to attend a skill competition. I said, “I have never stood and made a speech in front of the public.” Even when I was with a friend, I rarely talked and mostly listened.  

So I said, “I can’t. How can I do this before many people?” Do you know what skill competition is? It is to show how to make some nice stuff directly in front of people. Oh my, Julio said that I had to do it because no one else can do it. So I did it simply thinking, ‘It’s true I cannot do well, but, I will do my best!’ I, the person of few words, went out on stage and made egg-apples. Egg-apples are made by boiling eggs and making them red color looking like pretty apples. Then, I won the first prize.

It was not because I did well. I just did my best. The First prize came to me, not because I did well. Even though I didn’t know God, the Lord put His hand in my work. After that, we went camping in Wando. There was another skill competition again. So I was pushed again to join. “Oh, no, I won’t!” “Yes, you can do it. You are the only one who can do it.” I didn’t know how or with what to make. I was asked to make a peach-punch. Peaches are common now, but could I ever make a punch at that time? I really needed to learn it. This guy (Julio) said, “Just do it by trusting yourself that you can. You can do it.” And he just left me with one peach in such a mountainous area and ran away.

I saw other participants were learning from the staff; “This is... Do like this...” Oh. I envied them. ‘Oh, let me do ‘Semchigo’ as if Mr. Kim (Julio) taught me everything.’ But it is true that I felt envious. He said to me, “You can do it.” and went away. For others, in each part of competition, their teachers taught everything to them, but I was left alone and was taught nothing. Julio left me with one peach and ran away. Now, Mr. Julio Kim! Are you listening to me now? (Back to the story) I pondered ‘Oh, how am I supposed to do it?’ Then I thought maybe it’s not good if I use only the peach.

So I picked leaves in the mountains, cut them, added sugar, and I made a recipe up. And I won first prize again. (Applause) It was not because I was good at this, but I only did my best. “Yes, you can do it!” I did it with his trust for me. You can just do your best. Even if you are not good at something, if you do your best, the Lord will be with you. (Amen!)

And then I also participated in a competition at county and another one at province. As I said before, I never had fun playing like dancing and I didn’t have any friend to play with because people often spoke ill of others. I have never had any fun that way.

By the way, in province competition, 100 points was the perfect score. Although this ‘4-H Club’ is not popular nowadays, but in 1968 it was considered the golden age era for this kind of art. The skill competition was held for 2 days at the time. The entertainment competition point was 20 out of 100 points. He wanted me to compete in it also. “Oh, I can’t do it.” “You can do it.” Dear pilgrims, if someone trusts you, you should try doing it at least for his trust in you. Who trusts you? Jesus trusts you. The Blessed Mother trusts you. We have to do our best for Those who trust us. (Amen!)

By the way, Julio trusted me. “You can do it!” When I went to the province competition, he said to me who had never had fun before, “It’s 20 points. You are good at the skill competition and...” Skill competition occupied 20 points out of 100. And oratorical competition, 20 points. And for other activities, lower points were also awarded.

The skill and oratorical competitions were each 20 points because they are performed in front of people. And the tutor of county said, “You have potential in everything”, because I didn’t want to do it. I didn’t even learn how to do it at all. There were camp training sessions and I had to join them even though I didn’t want to. And this is how they taught me.

There were two women tutors. One tutor taught, “Father, went, to the room.” so I said “Father went, to the room.” Next, the other tutor came to me and said, “How can you do that? Father went~ to the room~ Do like this.” So I followed, “Father went~ to the room~” But the former tutor scolded me, and the other tutor also.

On which rhythms, should I dance? “I can’t do it. I can’t follow both of you.” I wasn’t able to mediate between them two. Then, Julio came and he said, “What are all these that you are doing? How can you all teach her like that! Just leave it to me!” He said so but then again he left me alone and went away, saying just “You can do it!”

And guess what he said later. How optimistic he is! I asked him, “Why don’t you teach me how to do in the competition as you said you would do so?” But he replied, “Go to stage and just don’t make people say ‘What to do~’ ‘What to do for her~’ while they watch you.”

Then what did I do? I DID MY BEST. Dear pilgrims! Be confident. Don’t be nervous.

I didn’t know anything at all about these competitions. I had to perform ‘making Ok-gyeon with Ssang-gyeon’ (to reel silk off cocoons made by two silkworms.) Do you know what ‘Ssang gyeon’ is? It is double cocoons.

It is difficult to reel silk off cocoons which have two silkworms inside. That’s why I performed that.

 

 

 

I did not have any practice beforehand. I never even practiced once when I participated in the competition of province. But the woman tutor from Gwangju, Hanam, who was previously in charge of me, taught my rival participant the whole night. The participant, also from Hanam, prepared the same material as me for the contest.

It means the tutor had the intention that ‘You will screw up, Kim man-bok (Julio)! I will do better than you by teaching another participant.’ She kept teaching the participant all night without sleeping. As I didn’t know prayer at that time, and had nothing to do during the night, I made up my mind not to participate in the contest the next day. By the following morning, we were given the order in which we would participate. My turn was before her.

The competitor got a head start, “I’m so good at this. So good at that...” She asked me “How many silkworm sheets have you cultivated?” I didn’t know the how many silkworms were cultivated into 1 sheet. I used to run away whenever I saw silkworms. I didn’t intend to reply, but I said in spite of myself, “I cultivated two silkworm sheets!” (*in each sheet, about 20,000 silkworms are cultivated)

Then, ‘Oh? Okay! I can do it!’ So I did.

Then, when I was having lunch, the director came to me and said, “Oh Miss Yoon! You really did a great job!” So I thought, ‘Oh! It will be enough for me if I can avoid people telling me ‘Oh~ What a pitiable girl!’’ I continued in thought, ‘It’s a relief if I narrowly escaped shame.’ He served me with more food and said, “Enjoy your meal~” with eyes of full of kindness. Then I thought, ‘Ah, at least I have not been humiliated.’ This was because Julio said to me, “It would be enough if you can get past the lowest level, and not be humiliated.” So I figured, ‘Anyway, at least I may not make him (Julio) feel ashamed of me.’

 

Every participant was very good until the next day. They were great. Someone from Dam-Yang made something with bamboo, and I thought, ‘Wow, that must be the first prize.’ But the representative for first prize always came from the oratorical part. Then, during the award, I thought to myself ‘The general director told me that I was good and even he served me in the lunch table, would I get a prize? No, it’s not me! That will be enough if I could avoid the shamefulness in the lowest score.’ But then, they said “The representative first prize is Yoon Hong Sun!” I thought ‘Oh now I even hear this thing.’ I stayed still. “The representative first prize is Yoon Hong Sun!” I continued to stay still.  I didn’t even think it was me because the representative was always from the oratorical part.

I guess I might have done a good job in the eyes of the director and all there. I didn’t do well myself but the Lord made me do well. It was the result of just doing my best. Not doing well of myself. At that time, it is Julio who said to those tutors, “Leave it to me. You two just stop this!” But during the award, he was hiding himself fearing of that I wouldn’t be able to win even the lowest prize. But now he showed up and said “Go, hurry up to get the prize!” I won first place. And in the entertainment part, he pushed me again to join it. I cannot do it, what on earth, even I who can’t talk well was told to do the entertaining. “You can do it.”

So Naju city people had a meeting to discuss for the competition. So “Let’s do like this and this.” ‘Yes. I will do my best!’ And I did my best. Not only that time, but also in my entire life till now that I have just done my best. There was nothing that I did well. If I have done any good, it was done by the Lord.

(Back to the story) ‘Is there something innovative?’ If I knew God, I would have called Him and cried out to Him. But I didn’t know God at the time. ‘What should I do? Okay, let’s do something special.’ At that time I never exposed myself to any man not even my neck because I felt very disgusting.  So I wore clothes with covering my neck.

But I thought, ‘Right. It would be best to make people joyful and have fun.’ So, I plotted a scenario that portrayed kings from every country gathered. And I played as a role of Mrs. Gandhi of India. I didn’t know much about her.

I put on a pantyhose up to here and a skirt made by straw. And I danced. I spoke a little English at that time, not now though. So I spoke English and there was a translator. And a woman who was a participant for oratorical part said, “Ni~Ppong~!” and the translator said “Hello~” So in the end, everybody said good bye and danced in unity. You please come here. Let us two show you. You follow me.

Yttie  YaYa Yttie Yttie Ya~ Yttie  YaYa Yttie Yttie Ya~ Yttie  YaYa Yttie Yttie Ya~ Yttie  YaYa Yttie Yttie Ya~

We danced with shaking our hips that made people laugh to death. Everybody was like this

♬♪Yttie  YaYa Yttie Yttie Ya~ Yttie  YaYa Yttie Yttie Ya~ Yttie  YaYa Yttie Yttie Ya~ Yttie  YaYa Yttie Yttie Ya~

So I won the first prize. It was the result of doing my best. Then, I was asked to go to the national competition. Wow~ In secular words, it was doing my head in back! I’m the last person I want to be in front of people so I refrained. When I hid myself, he (Julio) asked around looking for me.

“You have to go to the national competition.” I am not an entertaining person but they said I have to attend it to entertain others. Although I have never ever developed such interest, I wholly laid myself down by throwing away face-saving shyness, practicing “Semchigo”, in order not to put their encouragement in vain; “You can do it” So, I did my best.

Now, dear pilgrims, let us do our best not to make Our Lord and the Blessed Mother disappointed. If you do your best, They will perform amazing miracles of love to all of you.

In spite of several attempts to run away from their suggestion, I couldn’t help but go to the national competition. Three of the prize awardees in the national competition were to appear on the TV show, ‘Echoes of advance’. Oh my, the organizer chose me of all people who is not good at anything. At the time, television was rare, but four of us appeared on TV Show. On the day of the event, to my surprise, I was asked to conduct a choir. Oh my, they asked me who had never sung even in choir before. “No, I can’t do it.” “You can do it.” They told me again “You can do it.” So I just did as told.

I conducted the song ‘Four-Leaf Clover~~~’ People gave me a big ovation for my conducting. It wasn’t me who did it. I just did my best. I don’t mean I am boasting about myself but boasting the Lord instead. It is the Lord who did it, not me an unworthy one who cannot do such thing. I can’t do it, but if we do our best to give the honor to the Lord, He will perform the miracle of love.

I was given 50 female chicks from the provincial competition. I said I wouldn’t want them but rather sell them away. Then, my supervisor, Kim Man-bok (now her husband) told me “No, raise them.” I told him “No, I can’t raise them. I am busy with my hairdresser job so I can’t.” “No, raise them.” “I can’t.” “I will help you. Raise them.” So I raised them with his help. 99.9% of them laid eggs. Each hen laid nearly 50 eggs.

And I served at a nursery. Four volunteers (including me) were educated and served at the free nursery in the village. But three of them didn’t turn up any more. In those days, it was very tough to do washing because we had to fetch water from far away. The kids also had a lot of yellow runny nose like this. And there was a lot of dandruff on their heads as well. And lice crawled endlessly on their heads. I caught the lice, cut their hair and their dirty fingernails.

I visited from door to door with a handcart to source for donations to give snacks for the kids. I did my best in this job again. Although I had to drag the handcart up the steep hill, how joyful I was thinking how delighted the children would be eating the snacks. The village was blooming with happy children. Even some parents who didn’t entrust their child to the nursery, began sending them there. Children’s singing filled the village populated with about 100 houses. Then Kim Man-bok, a major general of the project, said that if he ever gets married to someone, he would check whether the bride has ever served at the nursery before. Then I replied, “As you wish.”

So, most important of all, let us do our Best! Now it seems my time is almost due. The thing I have done so far since childhood is “doing my best” and I haven’t left my work given to me for others to shoulder; and I never thought about my work as personal, but our work. If you divide the work between yours and others, it would be difficult to do your best. ‘You do your own job whereas I do only my own job because it’s mine.’ It is not right. But if you think that it’s Our job, we can do it well together without distracting one another.

So, during this life, let us think only, “How to make Our Lord pleased?” and do our best. Now, in a little while, the year 2019 will be gone. Let us discard our old stuff and make a new start. Let us do our best. (Amen!) (Amen!)

Without love, we wouldn’t be able do our best. On December 24, 1992, Fr. Chang was sick in bed. So we visited him. After receiving his blessing, I began to pray over Fr. Chang by putting my hand on his chest. Without realizing it, my hands reached the part of his kidney. At that moment, I felt someone’s hand laid under mine. And I immediately realized, ‘Oh, Jesus has come!’ After the prayer, Andrew Park who accompanied me with other volunteers asked, “Father, did you put your hand under Mama Julia’s hand?” He replied, “No, I was lying still with closed eyes receiving her prayer.” “Oh, it was Jesus.” Andrew said he saw a bigger hand under my hand.

Not only my case, but if you also pray for others with love... Of course, some people have already got the gift of healing, but if you pray for healing for others with love, the Lord will also work with you.

If your children are sick, pray for them with love. Then Jesus will be with you and heal them. Even though we cannot visibly see Him, but if you do your best with love and faith, Jesus and the Blessed Mother will be with us. Never forget this.

I have been living under a lot of adversities since childhood. Even though there were some who framed and did wrong to me with all kinds of harassment, but when I offered up everything ‘Semchigo’ and lived with love, I was able to overcome all of them.

In the Bible it also says: “I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God.” You know it right? He is called a jealous God. So when we have attachments to human and cling on to them, and love God less, then God the Father can discipline us by caning us out of love. So, let us realize it quickly and cling on to the Lord and the Blessed Mother fully, and confess, ‘I am Yours, Lord! I am Yours, Blessed Mother! No matter if I may die or live, let Thy will be done.’ Let us lead a life given wholly to the Lord.

The world is just momentarily temporal. But the afterlife is eternal, so we must live in pursuit of the eternal afterlife. To do that, we have to practice the Five Spiritualities. Without arming ourselves with it, you may feed the devil and join forces with them at any time. We must not become the devils’ friends, right? Now, let’s not be friends with the devil anymore, or give them joy, but we should get rid of the devil completely, by bringing the Lord and the Blessed Mother close into our hearts, and let us greet the New Year afresh.

The people who have been harassing us so far, let’s forgive them all today. Those who falsify against you, and those who didn’t pay you back for the money borrowed... It’s already hard to live before people borrow money from you, right? So it’s difficult to forgive, right? But we should even forgive them also.

If you can get your money back through unforgiveness of the person who borrowed from you, then, you don’t have to forgive him. But even though you don’t forgive him, the money will never return to you. So we still have to forgive. And you have to practice “Semchigo” (as if you already got your money back) and offer it up.

If your heart continues to attach to the money owed to you, your heart will move away from the Lord, and we may not be pleasing to the Lord.

So we should pray, ‘Jesus, that’s my hard-earned money that I’ve saved, but I offer it up for You. Let the soul(debtor) be worthy of Your arms again anew, and give me strength to overcome it well anew. It would be better if You grant me the money back, but only Thy will be done.’ like this, we should entrust everything totally to the Lord, then He will resolve all our problems. (Amen!)

Stagnant water in a puddle will decay. That’s why Our Lord and the Blessed Mother called you to be in Naju very often (*to recharge them spiritually). Stagnant water in a puddle will decay. In order  not to become decayed, to renew you, and to make you sanctified anew at all times, the Lord and the Blessed Mother call you, as Their little souls, to use you as their channel to perform the miracle of love in order to save this world which deserves His punishment. Let us entrust our whole hearts completely and give ourselves to the Lord and the Blessed Mother, saying, “It is my great honor if You will receive me, for I am unworthy.”

If you think, “I am a righteous one,” and try coming to the Lord, He will not receive you. We have to call upon the Lord as humble sinners, “I am such an unworthy sinner. But I am seeking You, Lord because I can’t live without You. Come to me, Lord. Come to me and set Your fire of love in me to work miracles of love. Otherwise I have no choice but fall back into the (dark) abyss. But I am happy because You are with me.”

We must make ourselves for Happiness. Happiness does not fall upon us by itself. Some might think when we avoid unfortunate events, it means “My family and I received a blessing.” But that’s not true. It is through hardships that we will be able to strengthen ourselves again and again, to go forward and be closer to the Lord.

Now, dear pilgrims! There could be at least one person whom you cannot forgive up to now. Let’s forgive them all today. I didn’t have that much money, but there were a lot of people who borrowed from me. But almost none paid me back.

Even when I had a hard time starting my hair salon, I sent my brother-in-law to Seoul and supported his law studies until he became a judge. I recalled it again today. When I was pregnant with my eldest son, my abdomen wasn’t full even when I was due. (*because she saved her food cost in order to support her brother-in-law) In those days, there were very few gynecologists. How poor we were then! Few people could afford Gynecology Consultation. But when I walked by the hospital, the nurse stood outside and said to me, “Oh, what happened to the baby? Isn’t it something wrong with you?” “Not really, I am ok.” This was always the same conversation whenever we met.

On one of the days when my child was nearly due, the nurse asked me, “Your baby born yet?” “Not due yet.” “What if you were to give birth to a deformed baby? Why don’t you try to come to our hospital?” “No, thank you, I am fine.” But I was worried until I gave birth. (*she didn’t want to spend so much money for herself) Seeing my small abdomen, the nurse said, ‘What if I were to give birth to a deformed child?’ But look at my son now. How tall he is!

It is because I just did my best; I once lived on only five Doe of rice for six months (1 Doe is 0.477 U.S. gallon) taking care of my children at the same time. How hungry was I? Julio (her husband) is just too simple. During those times, when I served him with 200 won worth of pork stew, he said, “You eat, too.” And I answered, “Yes, I ate a lot already. (She never said she couldn’t afford to eat it) Help yourself.” Then he said, “Oh, I see~” and he enjoyed eating the pork stew himself.

I couldn’t give birth at the hospital (*because she couldn’t afford it) until my fourth child came. Julio ate (drank) the seaweed soups (which is good for recovery) alone. Even if I couldn’t eat (drank) seaweed soup, I was so grateful that my husband ate (drank) well. It is for that I did my best in my life. I didn’t think, ‘Oh, why didn’t he ask me to try some soup?’ I was so happy that my husband ate (drank) it instead.

Because of my undernourishment, my breast milk almost dried up, insufficient to feed my baby. In those days, pork knuckle was so cheap. Buying two times, I got eight knuckles. Then I boiled them and ate some. It was then I was able to produce some milk for my baby.

I was almost short of food, but I boiled pork knuckle to eat to produce milk for my baby. I managed to serve my husband Julio with some food and even had to give money to my mother-in-law who often asked for money. I also supported the education cost of my 3 brothers-in-law. So I suffered from hunger. Julio was ignorant of this because I never told him. When you’re having some problem with a family-in law, please do not say to your husband like, “Oh, what to do with mother-in-law?” That won’t make things any better. I never talked about any problems concerning my family-in-law because I didn’t want my husband to worry about it.

Due to our tight living budget, I couldn’t eat well, but I always told him I had eaten already. Since I barely ate anything, my babies were small, so I gave birth to them easily. But even if I only ate pork knuckles, that helped me to produce milk to breastfed them, my milk was so thick that my baby grew up so fast. My baby was three months old; my neighbours asked me to put him up in the Super Baby Contest. He grew so big that they said he’s grossly overgrown.

That’s also what I did my best. I did my best as a mother. ‘Let’s feed my baby at least with the help of the pork knuckles.’ I learned that lettuce seeds are good for nursing, so I also boiled and ate them. How bitter it was to eat. But at the thought of its nutrition flowing into my baby, I could eat it practicing Semchigo, as if it was so sweet and a delicious food. Let us go forward to the Lord and the Blessed Mother with all our best efforts in life.

Today’s Fact is “Let’s do our best.” Thank you. Let us meditate the Messages well as they are given to us today from Jesus and the Blessed Mother.

This is the Message of Love from Jesus on January 1, 2007.

“My extremely beloved children! If you make efforts to walk the way of perfection and saintly virtues by turning everything in your lives into a prayer at every moment as I taught through My little soul chosen by Me, I will work within you together with My Mother even if you are unworthy and imperfect and let you enjoy eternal happiness in the next world.” Amen! (Amen!)

This is the Message of Love from the Blessed Mother on January 1, 2015.

“My beloved children! Now, the time of my triumph is approaching. If you totally arm yourselves with the Five Spiritualities and put into practice the Messages of Love, the mistakes and errors of the Gwangju Archdiocese, which had been forcing others to accept as true what was not true and tried to deceive others with shallow tricks, will soon and surely be exposed; the greatest victory, which will lead to establishment of the glorious Kingdom of Christ, will be achieved in the fierce battle of these last times; and, instead of the cup of chastisement that was to descend on this world, the cup of God’s blessing will come down.”

I wish the Messages of Love from Jesus and the Blessed Mother will be fulfilled to all of you as proclaimed. Please close your eyes and let us offer up everything we have done wrong in 2019 completely to the Lord and the Blessed Mother for them to remove it away cleanly and fill us with the Holy Spirit so that we may live a life of resurrection filled with joy, love and peace in the love of the Lord and the Blessed Mother. Let us offer up ourselves to Them.

Jesus, we offer up all our sicknesses to You. You know them all already. Please touch all the sick parts of every one present here and heal them. Even though doctors use surgical knives, there are still so many things that they could not cure with surgeries. However, there is nothing impossible to Jesus.

Here are various ways; whether pain, heat, or sometimes without any sensation, and also with the fragrance of roses, lilies, and smell of burning, with many fragrances You sanctify us all. Now, bless all these children without any exception, even all their families, and transform them spiritually, heal them physically, and change them anew to win the victory of resurrection.

For the rest of our lives, regardless short or long, be filled with joy, love, and peace. Enable us to put on the helmet of the Holy Spirit, to put on the shoes of the Holy Spirit, together with the armor of the Holy Spirit, and pass on the double blades of the Holy Spirit to our lips, so that we may do our best for the glory of the Lord.

In order to do our best whether we are at home, at work, in business, or in a community, including for ourselves, enable us to do our best to welcome the Lord and the Blessed Mother. Make us live a new life of resurrection and fulfill the will of the Lord by arming ourselves with the Five Spiritualities.

May the Lord be honored; and may the Blessed Mother be comforted, and may all of us be grateful unceasingly.
