Julia Kim’s Inspiring Spiritual Message for the 1st Sat of Dec, 2024

“If My Going to Hell Can Lead Everyone to Repentance, I Will Dedicate all of myself!”

 

🎼
I love the Blessed Mother, I don’t know what to do!
I love the Blessed Mother, I don’t know what to do!
Nothing in the world can ever compare

I love the Blessed Mother, I don’t know what to do!
I love the Blessed Mother, I don’t know what to do!
I can’t keep it to myself anymore
I love the Blessed Mother, I don’t know what to do! Amen!
🎼
Praise be to Jesus! Praise be to the Blessed Mother!
Glad to meet you.


Today marks the final First Saturday of the year, and soon we will celebrate the Anniversary of Enshrining the Blessed Mother’s Statue in the Chapel. It is also the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception. Also, as we entered the Advent season, let us all be born anew.

So, let us cast away all our wounds and inner pains, and today prepare a large new bowl to receive abundant and overflowing graces. To do this, we should open wide the door of our hearts, right? (Yes!) How did I say we open our hearts? By offering our hearts completely to the Lord and the Blessed Mother.

Even if we have done many good deeds, if we confess that they are solely the result of God’s grace and that we are sinners and rush to Jesus and the Blessed Mother, They will come to each of you today, ignite the fire of love within you, and work the miracle of love in you.

December 8, 1988, marked the first anniversary of enshrining the Blessed Mother’s statue in the Chapel. I said to the parish priest, “I would like to hold an overnight prayer tonight,” and he allowed it.

To prepare for the overnight prayer, I began with preparatory prayers in the morning. As I was about to leave for Eucharistic adoration, I kept receiving phone calls. After attending to all the calls, I stopped by the Chapel before heading to adoration. At that time, I would visit the Naju parish church for Eucharistic adoration whenever there were no pilgrims at the Chapel. I opened the door, made the sign of the cross with holy water, greeted the Blessed Mother, and approached Her while gazing at Her, preparing to go for adoration.

Singing, “Jesus, hanging on the cross, gazed upon His Mother Mary and said, ‘Mother, I am your Son.’” I went to the Blessed Mother and saw Her Tears of Blood dropping from the statue. The Tears of Blood were dripping, not flowing. I was so astonished that I began to pray, and at 10:30 a.m., I entered into an ecstasy.


In this ecstasy, I saw how many people were living in sin! Among them were those who criticized and judged others. Many maggots were coming out of their mouths—not only from those who judged but also moving to those around them.

Then, they also began to speak judgmental words. The maggots kept coming and going from one’s mouth to another’s mouth. It was dreadful. However, when someone judged another negatively, if the another said gently, “Oh, it’s not like that,” with a melody of love, the maggots completely melted away. We should melt away the maggots. 

We should never forget that maggots come out of our mouths whenever we judge and criticize others. However, many people love to talk about others, speaking ill of them. They do it to each other. When one person speaks negatively about someone, others often exaggerate.


As I saw those disgusting maggots, I cried out, “Oh my! Oh my! Mother! Father!” Then, the Blessed Mother said, “Did you see that?” She explained the maggots come out like that whenever Her many children in this world judge and criticize others.
Those maggots, no matter how much we step on them or burn them with fire, will never die. But when we practice the Five Spiritualities and speak to each other with a melody of love, without criticizing, the maggots melt away.

So we should ask Jesus and the Blessed Mother for forgiveness for the sins we have committed with our mouths—through criticism, judgment, and wrongdoing throughout our lives. From now on, we should awaken with the Five Spiritualities and practice them by offering up sacrifice and penance.



If we are armed with the Five Spiritualities and practice them, even when someone speaks ill of others, saying, “Ah~! He is this, he is that,” we can respond with a melody of love, saying, “Please don’t think like that. What he did is the work of the devil. Let’s pray for that person instead.” When we speak in this way, the maggots don’t just disappear but melt away before they can reach us.

Since I was young, I’ve always disliked it greatly when someone lies or refuses to admit their mistakes, instead rationalizing, excusing, or justifying themselves. It’s cowardly to do it. That’s why I didn’t have many friends.

When we go to confession, we shouldn’t criticize others, saying, “My husband did this, so I did that,” or “My friend did this, so I acted like this.” We shouldn’t say it. Confession is for asking forgiveness for our own wrongdoing, not for rationalizing, making excuses, or justifying them. So, no matter what someone else did, we should say, “I should have offered up more, but I didn’t.”


Even if they did something wrong, we can think, “Ah! That’s the work of the devil, not the person,” and offer it up graciously with Semchigo as if we’re loved. And even if, for a moment, we can’t offer up nor control our emotions, thus become angry, we should ask for forgiveness and go to confession because we have failed to offer it up properly. 

Now, during this Advent season, if we practice the Messages of Love from Jesus and the Blessed Mother and the Five Spiritualities, we can live a life of resurrection. We can only reach Heaven through the Five Spiritualities. When I woke up from the ecstasy, it was already noon. Until then, the Blessed Mother showed me the sinful ways of many people and how the world was going. Seeing all this, She could not help but shed Tears of Blood.

When I was in ecstasy, the Blessed Mother appeared as Our Lady of Naju, weeping Tears of Blood. Then, She said that because Her children in the world are living wrongly, God’s just cup of anger is full, and He has no choice but to send down chastisement.


I deeply understand how much Jesus and the Blessed Mother are anxiously trying to save at least one more soul in this world. Having experienced the pains of hell, I understand the depth of that suffering. At the time, I prayed in a way I don’t think I could now. I offered myself completely, saying, “If my going to hell can lead all sinners to repent, I will give myself entirely. I will gladly walk that path.” 


When I was finally diagnosed with cancer and unable to move, my family suffered so much that I wrote seven wills and tried to end my life. If I had done that, I would have gone to hell. So, I said, “Since You saved me from death, even if I were to go to hell now, how happy pain would it be if all the people in this world could be saved!” I offered up my suffering for the glory of the Lord and the Blessed Mother, and to comfort Their torn Hearts.

Dear ones, even if someone causes me a little pain, let’s not be heartbroken, hate that person, or refuse to forgive them. Instead, let us offer it up graciously with the Five Spiritualities.

Even though I said I was going to hell, the Lord did not take me there but saved me, saying, “I am comforted by your suffering.” When I woke up from the ecstasy, it was 12 o’clock. The Lord was about to punish the world, and I cried out “No, please!” so loud in the ecstasy that those beside me heard me. We held an overnight prayer that night, and many people repented, filling the Chapel with tears. That night became one where we offered up comfort to the Lord and the Blessed Mother.

On December 8, 2010, I came to the Blessed Mother’s Mountain to pray. I entered the Adoration Chapel of the Precious Blood. As I prayed, I could smell the fragrances of roses, lilies, alcohol, and the scent of something burning to purify souls. Very strongly. After praying there, I went up to Mt. Calvary.

When I looked at Jesus on Mt. Calvary, a light radiated from His hands so powerfully that my head became unbearably painful, as though it were being pierced.


The pain was so intense that I screamed, “Ah!!!” My head felt like it was being pierced, and blood started dripping down sounding “drip, drip, drip.” I caught it in my hand, but when it overflowed, I used my handkerchief to catch it instead.

I was wearing a scarf with the special phenomena on my head, and the blood dripped onto it “drip, drip, drip.” It was then that Jesus called Fr. Su. While He could have called him immediately, He said He had prepared Fr. Su for 15 years with His plan. Now many priests are living wrongly, and the world is on the brink of collapse. That is why Jesus called Fr. Su to save the world.
 
Jesus called Fr. Su to join Him here on March 25 on the Solemnity of the Annunciation of Jesus and he responded with “Amen,” remaining with us ever since. Not only Fr. Su but all of you are here because of the Blessed Mother’s call.

Dear ones, we are truly blessed children. We heard this is the time of separating the good grain from the chaff. The separation is happening now. How many incidents and accidents are unfolding all around us? We cannot predict when or what might happen.

Dear all, always carry Naju Holy Water with you. Every morning as soon as I wake up, I sprinkle it. I even keep it in the restroom, placing it beside the toilet for use there. I say the Prayer of Exorcism with it, making the cross shape. I also do the same in the car, sprinkling it on all sides—left, right, front, and back. Use Holy Water frequently.



If we remain vigilant and arm ourselves with the Five Spiritualities and practice them, we will be able to ascend to Heaven, escorted by angels, on the last day. Recently, during a funeral Mass held here, a 9-year-old child witnessed a soul ascending to Heaven. You all might know well how special the Masses and prayers offered in Naju are.

Someone shared a testimony of grace. In winter, during our meeting session, the chief volunteer advised everyone not to approach Mama Julia, saying, “This hurts, that hurts.” However, one person, unable to endure the pain, came to me and said, “I’m hurting here.” She said that I simply kissed the spot over her thick padded jacket, without saying anything more. Yet, she was healed.

That’s not all. Dear all, it’s about faith. Another lady had been suffering from constant diarrhea and kept running back and forth to the restroom. When I happened to pass by, she ran up to me and grabbed my skirt. The woman who had hemorrhage for 12 years and believed she would be healed by touching the hem of Jesus’ garment was healed through the faith and conviction. As Jesus said, “Daughter, your faith has saved you. Go in peace,” His words were fulfilled for her as well. Her diarrhea completely stopped.

I am nothing. I’m just a very unworthy sinner. However, the Lord does everything, and I am merely an instrument used for a brief moment. So, make full use of me as you wish. “Amen,” “It’s my fault,” “Semchigo,” “Offering up graciously,” and “Turning our lives into prayers”—how important the Five Spiritualities are! Dear ones, let us not complain of any suffering but instead offer it up graciously through the Five Spiritualities.

Let me share one more story about “Turning our lives into prayers.” In 1990, (October 27,) I went to deliver messages at Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul at 2 p.m. I hadn’t even had breakfast. I was accompanied by brother Andrew Park who had been healed of acute myocardial infarction and was driving, and sister Victoria, who was helping me. Since I had to deliver the message at 2 p.m. but was running a bit late, he was driving fast while we were in the back eating sweet potatoes. These days, cameras are used to monitor speeding, but back then, police would catch drivers directly.

We were caught. While eating sweet potatoes in the back, I inwardly cried out, “Oh, Jesus!” Andrew Park quickly gestured towards me, pointing. In that moment, there wasn’t even time to pray, “Jesus, please protect us.” All I could do was call, “Oh, Jesus!” with the sweet potato still in my hand, unable to lower it. But then, to our surprise, the police officer said, “All right!”


Would such a thing have been possible if I had gone out for entertainment? (No.) I would have certainly been caught. But because I was on my way to spread the word of the Lord, God allowed the police officer to see me as if I were lying down like a patient, even though I was eating sweet potatoes. Dear all, if we all live according to the will of the Lord and the Blessed Mother, They will surely protect us!

At that time, there were no navigation systems or mobile phones. We were close to Jangchung Gymnasium but didn’t know the exact way, so we ended up wandering around. Although we arrived in the area by 1 p.m., we still couldn’t find the venue. I decided to use a payphone, but there was a long queue. Unable to wait any longer, I searched for another payphone, only to find it was out of order. So, I kept looking, but once again, I came across another payphone with a long queue.

And people wouldn’t even give me directions; they just kept saying they didn’t know. But what should we do in such situations? We need to offer it up graciously. If we grumble, “Oh, why won’t they give directions?” the devil can easily intervene. Instead, we should offer it up graciously with the Five Spiritualities. These challenges arise because great blessings are on their way. So, when something happens or things don’t go smoothly, think, “Ah! There must be many blessings coming.”

When we finally arrived, it was 2:30 p.m. and 20,000 people had gathered, waiting. As I walked onto the stage, the entire crowd gave me a standing ovation. Oh, how embarrassed I felt! Because the Lord and the Blessed Mother intended to bestow abundant blessings, the devil tried to hinder us, causing us to arrive late. Yet, the event was filled with boundless blessings, and it became a sea of tears. We were able to safely complete the event.

Now, dear ones, look. I didn’t have time to pray out loud. So, I offered it up graciously with a silent Prayer of Life, saying, “Oh, Jesus! I entrust it to You.” And Jesus covered the police officer’s eyes, making him see me as if I were sick and lying down. Otherwise, how could the officer have said, “All right!” while I was eating sweet potatoes?

So, let us offer up everything graciously with the Five Spiritualities. Let us awaken and practice the Five Spiritualities to live a life of new resurrection. Amen!


Dear ones, let us open our hearts wide, accept the Lord and the Blessed Mother in our hearts and entrust ourselves entirely to the Lord and the Blessed Mother to live a new life of resurrection. Amen!


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

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

“Children! My beloved children! Those who have joined forces with the devils and have become impoverished and exhausted will not be able to find water even if they look for it and their tongues will become parched with thirst, but you, who follow me and my Mother and put the Messages of Love into practice, will surely be saved regardless of what kind of circumstances you may be in. Even on a dry, desert-like land, I will let milk and honey flow, and, on the last day, you will enjoy eternal happiness before my Throne in my Kingdom, at my Mother’s side, escorted by the angels, and together with the Saints.” Amen!

This is the Message of Love from the Blessed Mother on December 8, 2001.

“My beloved adorable babies who were called and responded with Amen! Always remember that, as this mother has been chosen as the Lord’s helper, all of you have also been chosen as helpers of the Lord and me through my little soul. Also do not forget that, if you display the power of love heroically with total loyalty, Heaven will surely be yours.” 

Amen! I pray that the Messages of Love from the Lord and the Blessed Mother be fully realized in all of you. Please place your hands on your chest. Reflect on the wrongs you have done. As we enter this Advent season, if we truly regret and repent our sins, the Lord will come into our hearts, ignite the fire of love, and perform the miracle of love. Let us close our eyes, confess all our wrongs, and meet the Lord as sinners.

Jesus, if maggots have come from our mouths due to the sins we have spoken, please help us to triumph with love so that we can melt them away completely with a melody of love. No matter how much we desire, we cannot do it by our own will. Lord, transform us completely, changing even the things we cannot change despite our efforts. What doctors cannot heal through surgery in the hospital, You can perform surgery through the Holy Spirit. Please perform surgery on us with Your Holy Spirit.


Jesus, You have bestowed upon us immeasurable and countless graces, yet we have failed to recognize them all. Please forgive us and grant us the light of mercy so that we may make a new beginning. With the light of Your Sacred Heart, drive out all evil spirits and diseases from us. May we live a resurrected life with renewed souls and bodies. Perform miracles of love through us, unworthy ones, as Your instruments to bring salvation to this dangerous world. May this bring glory to You, and consolation to the Blessed Mother, and may our gratitude never dry up.
🎼
In this loveless world, despite resentment and hatred,
Tearful contrition brings forth miracles of love.
Though our souls and bodies may be weary and afflicted,
through repentance, let us be healed and live a resurrected life.

My parched heart, when the Lord enters,
He will ignite the fire of love, and I will live in love.
All my sorrows, when I confide them to the Lord,
He will fill my desolate heart.

In this loveless world, with resentment and hatred,
We have lived in parched homes.
All my sorrows, I confess to the Lord,
And I will live in love, in love, in love.

A poor soul, scarred by wounds
Though sick, weary, and wandering astray.
When the Lord works miracles through His love,
I will be immersed in the love of the Lord and the Blessed Mother.

To cleanse the ugly stains of our souls,
We have all gathered on the Blessed Mother’s Mountain.
Jesus and Blessed Mother, embrace us in Your arms,
And heal our sick souls and bodies. Amen. Amen!
