Praise Jesus! Praise the Blessed Mother!

Nice to see you all! In Matthew 24:35-44, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. But of that day and hour no one knows, neither the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.”

We don’t know when that day or time will come. Now We’re living as if nothing will happen, but we don’t know when and what we will face. Up to the day that Noah entered the ark, all, except the family of Noah, was eating and drinking, merry-making and getting married.

But as soon as Noah entered the ark, the flood began as if the sky had holes, and nothing could stop it.

Nothing could be done, no matter how high people tried to go up. Nothing is impossible for God if He wills it. This era also deserves punishment, but through the intercession of the Blessed Mother, He is withholding punishment.

During the time of ‘Noah’s Deluge’ or ‘Sodom and Gomorrah’, the Blessed Mother did not yet exist. What was it like in the days of ‘Sodom and Gomorrah’? As there were not even 10 righteous, Abraham’s earnest desire was not fulfilled, and the sulfurous fire was sent down on that area. Dear pilgrims, please do not ever look back.

But what happened during that time? The Lord wanted to save Lot’s family, but both of his sons-in-law didn’t accept it. They were told, “Leave that plain and run away. Never look back while fleeing.” But Lot’s wife looked back in curiosity. So what happened to her? She was turned into a pillar of salt.

Dear pilgrims, we need to reflect on history. We must feel and learn through history, but so many people remain complacent.

Since even the prelates are now also complacent, most of the faithful are on their way to destruction. So, Jesus and the Blessed Mother have appeared and are present in Naju and until now, for 33 years in Naju, They have continued to show us many Signs, performed countless miracles.

So we can now enjoy blessings which were not granted even to King Solomon.

Dear pilgrims, let’s arm ourselves with the Five Spiritualities! If we are not armed with it, thinking, ‘God will protect me,’ it’s absolutely wrong to think this way. But you who are here are the little souls.

You came here by responding with “Amen,” to the call of the Lord. For you who are here responding with “Amen,” to Their call, so that you can be armed With the Five Spiritualities, let me today give you some examples from it. First, it’s about ‘Turning our daily lives into Prayers’, which means, from the moment we wake up until the moment we fall asleep, we can pray at every moment of our lives.

So, at the very moment you wake up, let us not think, ‘What am I going to do today?’ But immediately, make ‘Sign of the Cross’ with Holy Water and pray, ‘Jesus! Blessed Mother! Stay with me also today, an unworthy sinner.’

You know that parents do everything they can for their child who asks for more. So we must keep drawing closer to the Lord and the Blessed Mother.

By turning our daily lives into Prayers, when we wash our hands, wash our faces, bathe, shampoo, or get a haircut, we can pray countless of times.

When you see other people lighting candles, you may also turn it into your prayer as if you are also lighting those candles.

The good thing about ‘Turning our daily lives into Prayers’ is that you can also turn what happened in the past into Prayers. What passed many days ago, what you forgot to pray, and what you couldn’t do at the time, you can also turn them into Prayers now.

Living in this world, we have so many people to forgive. We have wounds hurt by others although we don’t remember. Because of these wounds, we may become cranky. We must forgive those who hurt us, and conversely, we should also ask for forgiveness from those whom we hurt.

If they are not with you any longer, ask the Lord to forgive you instead, and asking the Lord to console their hearts. In Matthew 18:18, Jesus said that whatever we loose on earth shall be loosed in Heaven, but whatever we don’t loose on earth shall be bound in Heaven.

So we must forgive all the time. Keep remembering what we can’t forgive, and continue to forgive every day. Even though we made a General Confession, it is not that all our sins are removed and we go straight up to Heaven. We still have penance to do.

So we have to do our penance well, And if we have done wrong, we must practice love. If you have beaten and yelled at our children, you should start loving them even more so.

Many parents hit their children to discipline them. Before caning a child, make the Sign of the Cross first, and pray, “Jesus, Blessed Mother, please give him/her the rod of love.” You must discipline them with a rod of love.

Many children are hurt by being yelled at and just after being caned. Parents don’t realize, as they say, “I just did that for my child so that he/she will turn into a good person.” But if their child goes astray, they will say, “I did good enough for them, but how come they’re still like this?’ But actually it’s wrong.

Children get hurt when parents have severely given punishment to them. So unity is not truly accomplished. You must do it with complete love. If we haven’t been able to love our children 100%, we can start anew today. It’s okay if you’ve done wrong to them so far. But you can start anew now.

Human beings are weak, trivial and unworthy, and can do wrong. Human beings are always imperfect. It’s important that we keep making efforts to be perfect. Perfect people will likely become arrogant.

The Lord does not say, “Let me see how perfect you are,” but He allows us to make mistakes also. The reason He allows us to make mistakes is: Through this, we can realize, “Oh, I’m doing wrong like this.”

Then, we can become humble and lowly. People who think themselves as perfect and good at everything can’t understand others.

Such as, ‘Why does he do such things?’ They think in this way. When we make mistakes, ‘Oh, I also did what he did’, and we realize our own mistakes. But there are people who make many mistakes and blame others for it.

There’s a proverb, ‘‘A dog covered in poop blames a dog covered in dirt.’’ We shouldn’t be like that person.

In 1989, I had a hysterectomy. The reason is… In Lent, 1982, I asked for suffering of atonement. I’ve been continuously suffering for the reparation of abortions committed by the people in the world. My abdomen was swollen, and in a short time, I gained weight by 8kg. It’s said that women gain 8~10 kg in weight when they are pregnant.

The pregnant women’s abdomen usually swells gradually. But my abdomen swelled in such a short time, and many of my organs were pressed because of that.

So my small and large intestines were completely attached to each other. One day, I had pain in my nose, so I went to Naju hospital.

The doctor is a reputed doctor. “Oh, ma’am, please lie down here.” ‘My nose hurts, but why does he tell me to lie down?’ Anyway, I lied down accordingly. Then he touched my belly.

‘Oh, my nose hurts, but why he touches my abdomen instead?’ He said, “Madam! go and consult a gynecologist immediately.”

“No, I came here for my nose.”

And he said, “It’s not a problem with your nose! There are two top gynecologists in South Korea. One is at Seoul Nat’l Univ. Hospital, and the other is in Yeosu.” “Go to either one right now.”

I went there accordingly, and the doctor said, “Oh, my! Your internal organs are totally messed up like rags.”

The doctor recommended immediate surgery. I said I would come back later for surgery. Because in those days, I used to decide everything after consulting priests first.

So, I consulted the priests, and they told me to proceed with the surgery. So, I went to the physician whom I first visited for my sore nose.

“He is a really humble man who will never say somebody’s belly is like rags even though it is true. But as he said this to you, just hurry to get surgery done.”

As I never missed daily Mass, I chose Maryknoll Hospital in Busan so that I could attend daily Mass.

I said I would offer up not having surgery for 10 days. I received more than 10 shots of antibiotics a day.

I didn’t eat anything because I fasted, but I kept having diarrhea. I felt like I was about to die. “There is no other way except hysterectomy”, “When was your last childbirth?” the gynecologist asked.

“It was about eight or nine years ago, but I’m not too sure.” “Are you kidding? That can’t be true with such a big uterus!”

The doctor thought, ‘She must have had a late abortion.’ since I had such a big uterus.

‘Oh!’  In pregnancy, a uterus gets bigger making room for a baby to grow there. I discovered that when I am in pain for atonement of others’ abortions, my uterus was actually expanded.

There, I realized this for sure. My husband Julio told me, “Honey! Now that you are without a uterus, you don’t need to suffer any more pains for the atonement of the sins of abortion.”

I replied, “Well, if God wills it, what can’t He do?” I went to the Joongang church in Busan in 15 days, but my belly got swollen again and surgical area was bursting out.

So, I was hospitalized in a small hospital. Including the parish priest, and two nuns from the church, Julio and leaders of lay people, 8 people were in a van coming to visit me. By the time the van entered the city of Gwangju, their Rosary was also completed, so Julio tried to move to the rear seat to lie down but he couldn’t because a leader kept talking to him.

So he couldn’t go to sleep. See, if we stay awake, the Lord will surely save us. The van was in a standstill at the traffic light. At that point, a big vehicle collided into the van from behind. The back of the van was smashed. If Julio had slept in the back seat, he would have died immediately.

All the rice cakes and food in the back, prepared for other patients in the hospital, scattered everywhere. Those who witnessed the accident thought, ‘Oh, everyone in the van must be dead.’

But nobody died. A leader hurt a finger and another became a little sick. No one was hurt very seriously, but they all went to a hospital to receive a treatment, and were even cured of all their usual sickness. And they became really healthier.

(The Lord turned evil into good.)

Julio stayed with me in the hospital to take care of me. At that time, I couldn’t speak a word, I became almost mute.

Then a nun came in. “I’m here to receive her prayers.” Julio said to her, “I’m sorry Sister, but Julia can’t even move or talk now. What can we do?”

She understood the situation and left the room. How much difficulties is she undergoing that she has to ask for prayers even from a patient.

I told him to call her back with an eye gesture While praying for her, the scent of cresol and alcohol was very strong. At that moment my mouth opened. I told her.

“I guess there are a lot of clinging to your heart. You’re heartbroken, aren’t you?”

But she denied saying she had no bad memories clinging to her heart. Anyhow, the scent of cresol and alcohol filled even the restroom. I said, “Sister, you have a lump of bitterness in your heart.” And I prayed, then the nun cried a lot.

It was 40 years ago when some of the nuns got together to set up a convent. She was infected with pesticide poisoning while farming tobacco leaves to make a living.

She had been suffering from it since then. She was terribly hurt during her time at the convent, and bitterness filled her heart.

She had been in charge of the cafeteria in the hospital. She proceeded to tell her story when I completed my prayer.

“Actually, I just packed up my luggage and am ready to leave the convent today, but I thought, ‘If I could request a prayer from Julia Kim, I would be able to live in the secular world.’” That was the reason why she visited me.

“Sister, you already have a good share. The kitchen is the best place to practice ‘Turning our daily lives into Prayers’.” Listen carefully, everyone. These days, men also frequently work in the kitchen. But that was unusual in the old days.

So I told her, when washing rice, you can pray, “Jesus, take out all the bad habits from as many souls as the number of these grains. And wash away all the filthiness from their souls and bodies.”

While boiling rice, pray “Lord, let our souls and bodies be fully matured in the love of the Lord and the Blessed Mother.”

There should be Jesus in our hearts all the time. “Jesus, please bless this boiled rice.”

Making the ‘Sign of the Cross’ three times with a rice scoop, “In the name of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.”

When you scoop up rice three times, think of Holy Trinity, and think of Jesus who resurrected after three days. Even in numbers, we can also turn them into prayers.

I explained to her one by one. And when you make side dishes, you pray, “Jesus, I can’t do it by myself. Jesus, Blessed Mother! Stay with me. Grant me the ability to do it. When Jesus and the Blessed Mother do this together with me, the food will turn delicious.”

And, when you eat, drink, and chew it, pray that Jesus will break up your ego. I told her to practice all these prayers.

Also, for ‘Bibimbap’, where various ingredients are mixed into one, just as we live with others in every society. If I lived alone, I wouldn’t commit sins. But everyone has different ideologies. Their thoughts are not same as mine.

(So we pray,) “Lord, let us all come together and be united as one.” We use many different spices while making side dishes. What’s our most delicious sauce? (The sauce of love!)

It’s the sauce of love, right? Too much sesame oil makes it greasy, too much sesame powder makes it rough, too much chili powder makes it spicy, and too much soy sauce or salt makes the food salty.

It also doesn’t taste good if there’s not enough. We must use moderate and adequate amounts.

I told her about ‘Turning our daily lives into Prayers’ like this. And I asked, “You have a lot of dishes to wash, don’t you?”

And she said, “Of course.”  “If one person is done with a meal, two chopsticks, one spoon, one bowl for rice, and one bowl for soup, five in total. There are things to be washed after every meal.

Each time you wash, you may pray, ‘Please wash away all the filth from our souls and bodies.’ While washing the dishes, you already have so much to pray. You can also forgive all the people that you’ve never really forgiven in your life by washing the dishes.”

And then the nun was crying and said, “I’ve packed everything already, but I’ll unpack it now.

The Lord has given me such a good share, but I blamed to the Lord, asking, ‘Why do I have to do this kind of work?’ I’m so ashamed of myself who have said that I live for the Lord.”

And she was cured of pesticide poison infection including its aftereffect that she suffered since 40 years on that day!

March 25th, 1990 was the feast of Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord, I was invited to Pittsburgh, U.S.A. (for Marian Conference planned on that day)

Prior to this, on February 13th, we had pilgrims coming to Naju from Seongnam, Suwon, and Busan.

There were also many others who came from different regions. While I was heading to the venue, I fell and broke my toe. But I still continued and delivered messages to the pilgrims.

Even before I delivered the messages, my whole right foot became swollen. However, I delivered the messages without feeling any pain, since I offered it up. As I shared God's love, I was happy doing it.

When the prayer meeting was over, they told me to go see a doctor saying that my toe might be broken.

The hospital confirmed that my big toe was broken in a V-shape. “V” means victory, right? How happy I was with that thinking! So, I exclaimed, “Wow, we won!” Afterward, many people said that I could never go to Pittsburgh.

The big toe holds 80% of our body mass and balances our body. I’m a right-handed person. So, they put a half cast on for my toe. But can you guess how they applied that half cast? A big toe was broken. But the half cast did not cover the broken toe at all.

Do you see this? They did it like this. So my toe hurt repeatedly. Many pilgrims would come every day. Though I kept standing like this only, it still hurt me. Someone kicked it when passing by me to arrange the flowers.

“Praise and Glory to Jesus!” When I turned it in this way, someone would come and hurt it.  “Praise and Glory to the Lord!” There was no chance of getting cured. Once, someone was passing by and dropped something on it.

I went to the hospital and found that my toe was broken again. This time they put additional casting up to this part. Nobody wears a cast all the way up to the knee for a broken toe. I couldn’t even walk properly because it was so thick and heavy.

Many people said, “You will never make a trip to Pittsburgh, U.S.A.” But I insisted, “I will be going even if I have to sit on a wheelchair. I will go even if my leg’s totally broken.”

They said again, “It’s impossible.” and that I wouldn’t get better in time for the trip. At the hospital, nurses gave me injections, but the needle bounced off. So then, the doctors tried doing the injections themselves.

As it was a private hospital, even the chief doctor tried doing it, saying, “You cannot even do this?!” But the needle still bounced off again. So I renounced the injections by offering it up. Then I asked them, “Cut off the cast for me.”

“But you have not recovered yet! Why do you ask to do so?” This time they put a full cast up to my knee, yet my toe was still exposed.

As God loves us, He reveals His love like this. When you suffer, “Ah! God doesn’t care about me,” You shouldn’t think this way. Think instead, “God has such a great love for me!” You should think this way. I also thought so.

‘Oh my, how great a love God has shown me!’ “What’s the point of making an entire cast but exposing the broken toe here? I’d rather remove the cast.”

The doctor said, “Who messed this up so stupidly?” And he started to cut it open, but it was too thick to cut with a cast saw. So he said, “Who did this ridiculous cast for you?”

“Here, in your hospital.”  “I would never do anything like this!” Then the doctor asked the nurse, “Who did this?” She answered, “It was you, sir.” (He seemed embarrassed!)

It failed again and again when he was trying to cut it off. My skin was accidentally cut during the process. I exclaimed, ‘O, Lord! Glory to You! How many blessings would you grant in Pittsburgh, by giving me a cut on the skin?’

That was the story. But after 15 days, I was fully healed even without any injections. I could jump up and down.  Not with my own mind, “I wish to…” but by entirely entrusting the Lord, “I have to! I will do it.”

Now everybody, keep this in mind during your lifetime. Then, Jesus will look after you in everything. So I went to Pittsburgh in March. It’s like Gang-won province of Korea. It’s such a cold place.

People there are used to cold weather that they even sleep in light white sheets. When I tried taking a bath, warm water was running. But after soaping all over, when I turned on the water again, only the cold water came out from the tap.

It doesn’t make sense, right? ‘Oh, the Lord is giving me His love again!’ So I decided to take a cold bath. Then I went to bed, and I felt so cold with only a single white sheet. I was shivering all night through, and I developed an unceasing cough. But while I was there, I couldn’t even go to the hospital.

Because I was supposed to give a talk about the topic “Abortion is murder.” So those abortion supporters searched for me frantically. They searched all over the Korean villages and hotels. But the organizer put me at the American house.

The conference there was scheduled from March 24 to 25. There were eight speakers. Six of them gave speeches on the 24th. A man (named Joseph) from Russia and I on the 25th. There were about 100 priests, including bishops, and about 200 nuns. And there were about 7,000 faithful gathered as well.

I arrived there at 7:40 a.m. People said that as soon as I arrived, the sun moved up, dancing and showed various signs. And the Fragrance of Rose began permeating the entire venue.

For other speakers, only 1 hour was allocated to them. Upon going on stage, each prayed 5 decades of the rosary in their own language and delivered messages. So really, each person had only approximately 40 min for their own speech. But I was told to speak as long as I wished.

I started speaking at 8:00 a.m. And I talked for about 3 hours 40 min. I even tried to continue beyond that but the young female interpreter next to me said, “Please stop it. If you continue, I’m going to faint. Please stop it.” So I stopped.

When I talked about ‘Turing our daily lives into Prayers’, everyone gave me a standing ovation. I thought, ‘Did I do something wrong?’ I didn’t know what a standing ovation was.

There were more than 10 standing ovations. They said that it was the first time for anyone to receive more than 10 standing ovations. And when it was over, they said, “The others were all extras. ‘The Blessed Mother of Naju’ was the core of the conference.”

The Koreans in the U.S. usually lived humbly holding their breath or couldn’t even hold their heads high. As they prayed the Rosary in Korean, they were so happy that they prayed in a loud voice. It was their first time holding their heads high.

When they went to the public restroom, people asked, "Are you Koreans?" "Yes!" So, they were really loved!  When the Japanese were asked, “Are you Koreans?” "No, we’re Japanese." Then, they just turned and went away.

So, they said that they were so elated to hold their heads high for the first time. While I was delivering messages, people kept lining up before the confessional, and 50 young people expressed their intentions to be priests.

For a few days, the big broadcasting stations and newspapers kept making headlines about ‘The Blessed Mother of Naju’. I got a call from Washington, D.C. and I was supposed to meet the president on April 6. I was asked, "Visit us on the 5th also to give a seminar to the secretaries and other closest aides for about an hour.”

So I went there (The White House) and delivered messages. They loved it and said, Please hasten to translate the “Messages of Love’ into English, then we may keep a copy in the White House so that many people can read it.

While I was in Washington, I stayed at Mr. Gabriel’s house. On April 5th, a Jehovah's Witness asked me to pray for his son personally. They even pre-conditioned me. (They wanted a confidential and private meeting with Julia.)

I had no time for that due to the planned seminar, but I thought, 'Oh, how desperate he must be?'  So I said, “Let them come.” Due to a disease where bacteria gnaw at his skull, he visited the most famous hospitals in Washington and underwent surgery twice.

But there were no more bones left to be raked out by surgery from his skull. He couldn’t sleep at all. He had to wear a hat all the time. He couldn't stand water touching the skin of his head.

When I tried to pray over him by laying my hand on his chest, he screamed, "Ouch!" and ran away, "Why are you touching my head!" Jesus already intervened even before I tried to do it!

Since then, he felt better and began taking showers. He couldn't feel the pain anymore. He went to bed and slept for 15 hours. Because he couldn’t sleep at all before, his parents thought he was dead.

I prayed for him the last day when he visited me. Then he was cured perfectly. He said, "Even though I've been to such renowned hospitals, this lady is the only person who pinpointed me in my exact spot.” It was not done by me, but the Lord did it.

His parents were very rich and the child was their only son. They wanted to repay me for their son who survived from death. So, I said, "Yes, you have something to repay me for." "What’s that? Say anything!"

"In God's love, if we can meet again at the Catholic Church, it’s a reward to me." "Of course, I will be baptized into the Catholic Church.” But tell me something else."

"There's nothing else. I didn't do anything on my own. For everything I did, it was done by the Lord. I was only used as His instrument for a moment.”

Then I came back. ‘Turning our daily lives into Prayers’, ‘Life of Offering Up’, ‘Amen’. All Five Spiritualities are linked to each other.

As I said "Amen,” (to the Lord's plan) he was healed. If I hadn't done ‘Amen’, Jesus wouldn't have done it. Try it yourself with love. Jesus grants your prayers also.

If you earnestly ask and pray, Jesus will intervene and do it for you. We humans can never do it alone. What can we do if even the doctors couldn't do it? But the Lord can do it.

Then, I went to the Philippines in 1990. People said cancer is a frightening disease. But during my visit there, cancer patients, and a lot of other serious patients were healed. So the President of the Philippines and Cardinal Sin encouraged me by saying, “You have worked very hard.”

Many priests in foreign countries do not put themselves on high horses. Cardinal Sin, being one of the three major cardinals in the Catholic Church at that time, always asked me to pray over him first when I visited.

And even without translating (from Korean to English) he would already be crying. When I first met him, he was healed from his kidney problem. Whenever I met him after, he asked me to pray over him.

During a trip to Pittsburgh, USA, a bishop told me that he had received something from the Pope and asked me to put my hands on it. Yes, Faith is of utmost importance. When I went abroad, there used to be thousands, ten thousand, even three hundred thousand people gathered.

Someone threw something like a long stick at me from afar and it landed on me. He rejoiced, “Wow! It touched her!” And he was healed. When I was there, I tried to touch as many people as possible. People tried reaching me when I was pushed by the crowds. Those who just touched me received healing graces.

Dear pilgrims, let us seek earnestly as they do. In the Philippines, people commented that I worked so hard and told me to take a rest at an island bungalow for a couple of days. Whenever I find opportunity to rest, I also pray. So that is good. Whenever I meet people, I can also deliver God’s love. This too is also good.

So after a whole night of prayers, as dawn approached, I went to the seaside. And while I was praising God, at 6 a.m. when it wasn’t yet sunrise and it hadn’t rained at all, to my surprise, a double rainbow appeared.

It was a day calling for a celebration in Bacolod. ‘Oh, how many graces You will bestow today because You have shown a double rainbow like this!’ I prayed so.

As the event was in the evening, I left in the afternoon. But throughout the Philippines, an enormously strong typhoon was approaching that nobody could embark on ships or planes.

But I insisted I had to go. Everybody said ‘No’, and that it’s dangerous because the sky was jet black and a great typhoon was coming.

“I will go even if I have to go alone. I will sow the seeds I am supposed to sow.” Fr. Jerry Orbos who witnessed Eucharistic Miracles many times, also said “we shouldn’t go”.

But I said, despite everything, I will still go. So the organizers sent two of the best swimmers in the Philippines to me. They were instructed firmly, “When the typhoon comes, no matter what happens, Julia must be rescued at all costs.”

“You must save at least Julia Kim.” And they sent them to protect me. Until I reached Bacolod, I kept praying in tongue.

It rained at first, and I told everyone including the priests to go into the lower deck of the ship. They all went inside. I stood outside and began to pray in tongue.

By the time we arrived there, I saw many people waiting. They were dancing and jumping joyfully. They said, “Oh my gosh, you came through the typhoon!” They added that the sea was all black, but only our ship was shining.

As soon as I got off the ship, the light disappeared. This wasn’t done by me. I am just an unworthy sinner. Now as I stand before you, I am not the one qualified to stand here before you.

I am truly much more unworthy than you. If you also work with passion, the Lord will send down the same grace to you as well! And He will fulfill His work through you.

(Back to the story) So, on that day, there was one man who descended from three generations of Protestant pastors, including his father and siblings.

After witnessing that day he said “Truly, it’s just as if I met God.” And he converted from Protestant to Catholic. And let me tell you about “Offering Up entirely”.

In the Philippines, because I had done such hard work, they booked a Business-Class seat for me. I said, “I will never sit there. I want to be in Economy-Class.”

But then even the vice president of the airline came and said, “At least you and your caregiver, must sit in the Business-Class.”

So Angela and I were led to sit in the third compartment. While I was praying the rosary, two kids were running around playing. Business-Class is not the place where children should run around freely.

And surely nobody would allow them to run freely around like that. In previous travels, when I got on a train, even in a First-Class train cabin, someone drank alcohol, smoked in front of me, or a baby cried.

So really, I have never experienced a normal situation with transportation. ‘Oh, this Business-Class trip is also similar to what I have experienced before’ I thought I may have caused inconvenience to the people.

While I was praying the rosary, suddenly something was thrown at me! Then I screamed because I was startled, because it hit my vital point. It was the devil’s work.

And I asked, “Oh, Angela, what’s this?” She picked up an apple, and said, “Mama, it’s a big apple.” A kid was playing with it like a baseball, and threw the apple at me hard.

When I touched here, it already swelled terribly. I couldn’t see at all. I couldn’t see with my right eye and I had to forcibly open my left eye to look at the mirror. It was totally blue that I couldn’t see.

“Let it go. I was loved again today.” I said. Then Angela said, “Mama, you are badly hurt and your eyes are terribly swollen. You can’t even open your bruised eye and you are in terrible shape.

Yet you are thankful for what happened to you, Mama?” “I have to be thankful, of course. I received the love. Please lead me to the child.”

I went to him. When I came over to him to pray, his mother thought I would hit him and she shouted “Ak! No! No!” I said, “No, no. I pray. Blessing.” Then, she stopped. So I prayed for him by putting my hand on his chest.

“Jesus, our meeting is not a coincidence. Please let him, from this experience, become a priest. Not just a normal priest, but a great priest.” And at that moment, my eyes were suddenly opened. And I hugged the child.

Then his mom said, “Thank you, thank you, thank you!” I answered “Thank you, Jesus! Thank you, Mama Mary!”

Then, she sobbed. When I saw her, I said, “Glory be to God!” Then the people around us, shouted for joy, “Wow!” Everybody cheered. Everybody in the Business-Class cabin saw what happened.

All the people cheered “Wow!!!” When I looked in the mirror, I found my eyes were perfectly back to normal. I even got prettier. So, let us respond with ‘Amen’

Everything is ‘My Fault’. Isn’t it? Because I was there, the devils acted by using the child. It wasn’t what the child had done. So, every human wrongdoing is due to the devils’ work.

Dear pilgrims, please do not hate anyone. ‘Ah, devils are doing it through him.’ Let’s think of it this way. It doesn’t mean that the devils possessed the person and did it, but it just so happened through the person.

By the way, although I was hit by a big apple, even in a vital point, I didn’t die. If we live a life in thanksgiving for everything and not accepting things as someone else’s fault, but everything as My Fault, then, this is exactly how to practice the Five Spiritualities.

Before, there was a store making very delicious rice cakes in Seoul. They looked so tasty that I thought, ‘Oh, I want to eat some.’  One day, I went out for an errand there. The owner gave me some rice cakes, saying, “You can eat it now.” I did “Semchigo” as if I ate them and I put them into my pocket. ‘If I give this to my mother, how happy she would be to have it!’

But then I met a beggar on my way home. ‘Oh, mom and I can eat meals whenever, but this beggar can’t even eat a regular meal. Okay, I can give it to this beggar.’

I took them all out and gave them to the beggar. And how happy I was on the way back home! ‘Ah, he must have been starving… But now he can fill his empty stomach. How happy I am that I can share meals with my mother.’

This is “Semchigo”. “Semchigo as if I ate it.”, “Semchigo as if my mother ate it.” Some people think while looking at others wearing mink coats, ‘Ah! I also want to wear a mink coat.’

Some mothers-in-law in the secular world may treat their daughters-in-law badly if they don’t receive a mink coat as a wedding gift. But, if you don’t have a mink coat, you can wear other clothes with “Semchigo as if wearing a mink coat”. “Semchigo as if eating at a feast”, but we just eat Kimchi.

“Jesus, please change this food into the Precious Blood from Your Five Wounds, Your Wounds made by the Crown of Thorns, and Your burning Sacred Heart and into Tears, Tears of Blood, Fragrant Oil, Mother’s Milk and Water of Mercy from the Blessed Mother,

and please keep us healthy who are eating this food, take care of us and lead us. Please heal our bodies and souls.’ When we pray like this while eating, even if we only eat Kimchi, all the nutrients are taken as the special medicine given to us by the Lord.

So we will not be hungry. Since my childhood, I had always been starving. Even after I got married, I ate only about 4kg rice over six months.

And still I rarely ate in order to share food with beggars. Also, I rarely slept since I worked for God. Even so, if you have 100% faith and believe that the Lord will deliver you, He will keep you healthy.

In 1990, I went to Heaven, Purgatory, and Hell. This wasn’t the only time, but I’ve been there several times. I’ve seen hell many times and I’ve been to purgatory three times. Also, to suffer for the reparation of some priests, I went into purgatory. For the sanctification of priests, I suffered in fire for them. When it finished, I realized I was scorched and burnt all over.

By the way, after we die, there will be judgment. At that time, our lives are weighed on the scale and there exists the ‘Tree of Evil’ and ‘Tree of Life’. By observing the fruits of those trees, we can know where each soul will go.

But all works of the soul will be subject to the weighing scale. Here is the Cross, it has opposite side (like a scale). If both sides are parallel, that means ‘to go to purgatory’. When a soul is being judged, all of the soul’s good works will be put on one side.

All the fruits of his Tree of Life are put there. On the scale, all his works are put on both sides of scale. If he did a lot of good works, and lived according to God’s Will, this side should go down, and that’s Heaven.

If it weighs equally, that means it will be purgatory. Every soul is judged after death, for example, there was one man in Suwon who suffered such hard times before, but after he came to Naju and read the book of 『The Way of Love for the Lord』, he completely repented and spread out to others, 『The Way of Love for the Lord』

Look, this is the multi-level grace distribution in Heaven. The multi-level marketing in the secular world fails if it is done wrongly. But this is the multi-level grace distribution in Heaven.

This man from Suwon gifted the book 『The Way of Love for the Lord』 and now we also have the book 『The Five Spiritualities』 if we gifted that book we can help others arm themselves with the Five Spiritualities, and grow spiritually.

So whenever they repent for their sin through the book your merits (who gifted the book) will be counted in accordingly.

When even one of merits is missing, the Blessed Mother who stands beside intercedes, saying “Antonio gave someone the book 『The Way of Love for the Lord』 He helped the person repent, and another one also.” Then all of these will be added so that he can go to Heaven. There are 14 steps, we have to take at least the first step. Only then, we will not go to hell.

When we are at least on the first step, we can do penance there (to go to Heaven). The souls going to purgatory… where there is blazing fire, they go there themselves. It’s not easy to go under a blazing fire, right?

But they have to go there and there, they have to do penance for everything they have done wrong. I tell you clearly. The souls in purgatory can’t pray for people who are on earth. Because they are doing penance for their own sins and faults in the burning fire. That’s why they can’t pray for others.

Whereas the souls in Heaven can pray for the people who are on earth. So we should not ask for souls in purgatory to pray for us, it is not right.

For whatever we have done wrong in this world, we can still do penance with prayers and practicing love as much as possible (while we are still here).

If you have fought with your husband or wife, you can do penance now on earth for the rest of your life. For we don’t know how long we will live, so we have to do it here and now. And living in happiness is the very penance that we should do. Some people want to kill their husband, or shoot him out of hatred.

When there’s a knife available, the wife may want to stab him. I’ve heard many such things. Those who think, it is ‘your fault’ can never repent. We have to accept it as ‘It’s My Fault’.

Dear pilgrims, let us all take the initiative. And when someone slanders others, we have to remind them to always develop a positive mind, because they are prejudging others.

So what allows us to always stay awake is the Five Spiritualities. If we are armed with the Five Spiritualities, we will never join in slandering others.

From now on, let us make our mouths holy, and praise Jesus and the Blessed Mother. If we make the effort, we can do it.

Dear pilgrims, let us make the efforts together. I am unworthy, very unworthy, so unworthy, but I will make a new start with you. Thus when the souls complete all their penances in purgatory, they are able to go up to Heaven. Then those remaining in purgatory will cheer for them.

The Blessed Mother is extremely sad seeing even souls going into purgatory. Because they have to go through the burning fire, She can’t bear seeing them suffering this way, so She turns weeping for them.

However, for souls going into hell, once they are judged, their hands and feet are tied with chains and thrown into the fires of hell mercilessly.

There, they suffer all the pains of what they’ve done wrong when they were on earth. So, please don’t judge others with your mouth. Even though you’ve judged others so far, it’s alright. You can change right now.

Mouths that slander others become full of maggots, which gnaw. In hell maggots gnaw flesh. What would they gnaw if we have committed sins of obscenity? They would gnaw at our bottom parts. It is unbearable to be gnawed at while burning in hell.

Consider then, do people only commit sins of obscenity? No, but also sins with the mouth, and many other kinds of sins people commit.

So they will remain in total loss while being gnawed at and burnt. We must never go to hell. We should deserve Heaven or at least purgatory, but now many people repeatedly make themselves deserving purgatory and hell.

Because we humans are imperfect, our souls’ condition may be frequenting purgatory and Heaven but we must never go to hell. If you have done wrong with your eyes, your eyes will have to be burnt. Maggots in eyes. Just imagine. It’s terrible.

When souls go to Heaven, for example, “Maria is going to Heaven.” Then, angels come down to escort her. The Blessed Mother places a floral crown on her head. The roses are gathered by baby angels to store in the treasured warehouse whenever we have done something well…

When we pray the rosary, it’s also a rose, right? They weave all those fresh roses together and dance. They cheer in that way.

In this world, there are symphony orchestras. But there’s ‘a Heavenly Orchestra’ with the Saints in Heaven. It’s an orchestra that can’t be seen here on earth. The Heavenly banquet is held in Heaven with great joy. Dear pilgrims, don’t you want to go to Heaven like this? If you want to go to Heaven, arm yourselves with the Five Spiritualities!

This time, I learned what I did not learn before. Souls in Heaven, since they are already in Heaven, I thought ‘Maybe they don’t need prayers anymore.’

I used to think like this, but it is not true. There must be so many souls in Heaven. But the souls who are furthest from Jesus and the Blessed Mother in Heaven can get closer to Jesus whenever we pray for them. I saw that this time.

And when I went to Heaven, I drank the flowing water that the angel gave me in Heaven. To my surprise, the taste was exactly the same as Naju Miraculous Spring Water.

So there are many people who are being healed with the Miraculous Water. In Ruteng, Indonesia, the blind opened their eyes, the deaf heard, the dumb spoke. Not only that, the crippled walked.

In Hawaii as well, an elderly blind lady opened her eyes. And in Korea also. Even dead people came back to life. Countless miracles have occurred.

Together with the Bishop, Julia prayed for a blind girl and applied
the water of grace from Naju in her eyes (March 27, 2007)
People cheered with amazement and joy when a girl who had been
dumb began speaking after Julia's prayer for her healing.
When another dumb student began speaking after Julia's prayer, everyone
exclaimed for joy and believed that it was the work of God (March 26, 2007)
A girl who had been dumb and deaf began speaking after Julia prayed for her.
The Sister who brought the girl was amazed (March 26, 2007)
After drinking the water of grace, the little boy began saying words like "Amen "
and "Alleluia " repeating them after Julia.  The priests and others watched this
and became overjoyed  (March 26, 2007)

Jesus and the Blessed Mother didn’t come into this world to show us miracles. But because many people are living very wrongly, this world deserves to be chastised. They are warning us now. How many things are happening all over the world! All of them are warnings of disaster.

So we should never go to hell. We must go to Heaven. Even though we make mistakes and do wrong in our everyday lives, while still living on earth, the important thing to do is to repent right away.

Like this,‘I will make a new start. Please forgive me.’ We can learn from St. Mary Magdalene.

Mary Magdalene was an adulteress who was about to be stoned to death, but she repented totally and wiped Jesus’ feet with her tears, and dried His feet with her hair.

And by pouring fragrant oil, she even prepared for His coming Burial. Just like Mary Magdalene, we could have done wrong before, but it’s important to make a new start.

Some people say “Why do you have to believe so faithfully? Like the penitent thief, we can repent in the end and be saved.” That’s ridiculous. Now, there are so many disasters happening all over the world. We don’t know when or what will happen to us. No matter how safe I drive, other cars may still come and hit me. How many people are dying because of this?

However, if we entirely entrust ourselves to the Lord and the Blessed Mother and move forward, arming ourselves with the Five Spiritualities, we can go straight to Heaven. Thank you.

Let us meditate on the Messages of Love from Jesus and the Blessed Mother.

This is the Message of Love from Jesus on Feb 16, 2003.

“My beloved little souls who have been called as the apostles of my Sacred Heart! Make haste to wake up from sleep, rush to me through my Mother, and make strenuous efforts so that all the children in the world may practice the Messages of Love that my Mother and I have been screaming until Our throats start bleeding, to be saved.

This generation is unfaithful, like reeds that are swayed by the wind, and filled with sins. Those who do not seek the incorruptible riches in Heaven and compromise with the world, trying to conserve their lives, will lose their lives. Whereas those who are persecuted while working for my Mother and me will live forever.” Amen!

This is the Message of Love from the Blessed Mother on Feb 17, 2016.

“My beloved sons and daughters who are specially called to my holy place because I love you so much!
Those souls who work united with my little soul for the sake of the Lord and me will be the selected grains among good grains and on the last day, will enjoy eternal happiness wearing the shining laurel crown in Heavenly paradise where there is no pain, sorrow, or agony but only filled with joy, love, and peace.” Amen!

Close your eyes and if you remember someone whom you haven’t forgiven yet, let us forgive them now. Under Jesus’ Cross, let us bring all those whom we haven’t forgiven yet. “Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.” Jesus says.

Dear pilgrims who are burdened with a heavy cross, amid tough, weary, distressing times in our daily lives. Economic hardships, physical pains, spiritual agonies and exhausting sicknesses.

Let us all be immersed and dissolved completely into the Love of the Lord and the Blessed Mother and be united with the Lord. Ask. Seek. Knock. He will give you everything.

♬ The soul who was lost and wandered, Father, please accept me. I want to be healed of my innermost hurt I entrust my distorted, wounded soul to the Father.

My coagulated soul, Father, please melt it away. Father, with the Precious Blood that You shed! Father, with the Precious Blood You that shed! Please wash away my filthy dirt! Please correct all my evil habits! Father, please wash away my ugly sins! Please heal my sick soul!

Who else knows the time when I’ve been in tears. Here I take out the deep wound from my cold-hearted past, the wounded and painful past

Lord, please wash it away! My past hurts, Lord, please heal it! Father, please heal my pains! Father, please heal my hurts! In this scary world, whom should I trust? Father, please heal my pains of the past! Please heal my painful memories!

I was wounded by those whom I loved and suffered pains of betrayal The bitterness sits deep in my soul I offer up all the pains of my past to my Mother And with “Amen” and “Semchigo”, You let me “Offer these Up”

Mother, please heal me with “Turning our daily lives into Prayers” Mother, with the Spirituality of “It’s My Fault”, You have led me, You embraced me, tightly in your arms Mother, You purify us with the Five Spiritualities and allowed us to obtain the Tree of Eternal Life. Amen. ♬
