Julia Kim’s Inspiring Spiritual Message to meditate on August 15, 2024
The Precious Blood that Jesus had Poured Remained Liquefied, Moving Alive!
We Are Being Fed with the Blessed Mother’s Milk!
Praise be to Jesus! Praise be to the Blessed Mother!
Today is the anniversary of the day Jesus opened His Sacred Heart, squeezed His whole Body, and poured down His Blood and Water to the last drop at the Adoration Chapel of the Precious Blood. On August 15, 2002, He sent down His Precious Blood on the stones, One of which was preserved in a case.
It did not coagulate for 140 days. When the bishops and priests came, I picked up Its stone using tweezers, and the Precious Blood flowed down. When I opened the case, it was as if a steam rose up from the Precious Blood (like it had body heat), as the figure of being alive.
We took a picture of the scene, and the Resurrected Jesus, Who wore a red mantle, was seen. We did not notice it until we received a call from a Naju pilgrim in the U.S. She told us that the Resurrected Jesus appeared on the lid of the case. When we checked, we found that indeed, His image was truly captured in that picture.
It was Jesus Himself, Who was showing us that He is alive through His Blood, which coagulated and liquefied again for 140 days. The pilgrim bishops have blessed the faithful with this Precious Blood for several times. And today, Fr. Su will also bless you with It on your heads. For this purpose, we brought It here.
The Precious Blood liquefied continuously from August 15, 2002, to January 1, 2003, without coagulating at all. Not only that, but since then, I placed some cotton pads at the bottom of the container and put the case with the Precious Blood in it. Then I closed the container.
One day, when I brought It to pray over the pilgrims as I am doing today, the little case’s lid was closed and secured with tape. However, the Precious Blood seeped and poured out of the case. Can you see it? (Yes!) The Precious Blood? Can you see it? (Yes!) Despite being wrapped in tape, the Precious Blood penetrated it and came out.
And this is not how I placed the cotton inside here. I spread the cotton pad flat and placed the case on it. But the Precious Blood moved by itself and went in like this.
Jesus was crucified, died, and was buried 2,000 years ago, but He resurrected on the third day, right? Jesus is in Heaven after His ascension, but He is still with us, even at this moment. So today, may you receive the same love Jesus gave us at that time!
Here in Naju, Jesus and the Blessed Mother personally appeared and are present and continuously send down miracles of love and countless graces. Despite this, we still suffer the pain (of persecution). This is because the destruction of the world is inevitable, devils are rampant. Even many prelates have fallen for them.
So, you who have been called as the little souls should pray together. Indeed, we are the people who have been saved and transcended the world. With the dignity of those who have been saved and transcended the world, and by fervently practicing the Five Spiritualities, we should rise up to Heaven, escorted by angels on the last day. Then, we should enjoy eternal happiness beside Jesus and the Blessed Mother.
Until I came here today, I’ve been constantly in pain since the first Saturday of August. Though I suffer every day, this is the first time I’ve experienced pain so intense that I was dying. But I came here because I missed you. I don’t mean to tell you that I’m sick, but I hope that through my suffering, you may be healed. It’s because you’ve received many healings when I suffered greatly. So, may all of you be healed without exception; also through repentance!
There’s an island called Cebu in the Philippines. In 1993, there was a man named (Earnest) Michael from Cebu who was diagnosed with liver cancer and cirrhosis. To make matters worse, a month later, he also suffered a stroke, which caused hemiplegia. He came with his wife to Naju in 1993. His wife had been diagnosed with glaucoma in 1985 and was still under treatment. How hard it must have been for them, as glaucoma can’t be cured, as you know.
In 1993, Fr. Jerry Orbos suggested, “Michael, would you like join me to go to the Naju Shrine in Korea?” He and his wife were like drowning people clutching at straws answering “Okay, Amen!” and followed him. “Amen” is important. He came with the faith that they would be healed. So they followed him to Naju with “Amen.”
We offered Masses in the Chapel and the Mountain of the Blessed Mother. Back then, I suffered less pain than now and could come to meet pilgrims, praying over them before and after the Masses, both in the Chapel and the Mountain of the Blessed Mother. We did not simply drink the Miraculous Water at the Spring but offered a song before drinking it.
♬ ♬ “Blood of Jesus Christ, my Lord! Blood of Jesus Christ,
my Lord! Heal my soul, heal my body, for you love me so. Amen! ♬ ♬ ♬
We always had priests here, and Fr. Chang was one among them who also stayed with us. He used to come here very often after the Mass at his parish. Fr. Chang would bless the pilgrims, and I prayed over them. I would wash their hair with the Miraculous Water and put it in their eyes and feed them with it. I put the Miraculous Water in the lady’s eyes as well. When she went back to Cebu, she went to the hospital and discovered that her glaucoma was completely healed.
Then the doctor said, “Oh my, what happened?” She replied, “Oh, I went to Naju, Korea, and Julia Kim put the Miraculous Water in my eyes and I was healed.” Then the doctor examined her eyes several more times, and confirmed there was no problem with her eyes.
Michael, her husband, had liver cancer and cirrhosis. He also got hemiplegia from a stroke. Are they easy to cure? (No.) It’s hard to recover. It could be healed if God takes care of it, but it’s difficult to be cured by mere human medical practices. But when he went to examine it in Cebu, they found nothing wrong; He was completely healed of liver cancer, cirrhosis and even the stroke! He also went to Manila for another examination, and again, nothing was found. The blood vessels were very clean and everything was clean.
So, even though we may think with a human and adult mindset, “Oh, I’m so tired. Should I go to Naju or not?” the Lord can still heal us. But (it’s important) to accept with “Amen”! With Amen, they were healed! Let us also be healed with “Amen.”
Dear all, we should never condemn or judge people based on only one side of the story. This is something we must keep in mind. I never judge or condemn based on just one side of the story. However, some people say, “Even Mama Julia only listens to one side of the story,” but I absolutely do not. When I am speaking, please don’t feel guilty thinking I am addressing you specifically.
I’ve heard such stories countless times, but they often lead others to sin. As I mentioned before, the Gospel of Matthew and Mark states, “Whoever causes others to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.” This does not mean one should commit suicide. It means causing someone to sin is bad to that extent.
Our one word can instill a bias in others. What happens if we do that? If we label someone who is not a thief by saying, “He’s a thief, he’s a thief,” people will start to see him as a thief. We need to manage our tongues carefully. Countless people end up in hell because of their misused tongues and sins of obscenity.
Though we can’t stop having obscene thoughts right away, we can control our tongue if we make up our minds. We can also control obscene thoughts. If we were unable to do so, we repent immediately and start not to cause others to sin. We shouldn’t cause others to sin through obscenity and our words, should we?
That’s why Jesus said, “How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove that splinter from your eye,’ while the wooden beam is in your eye? Remove the wooden beam from your eye first; then you will see clearly to remove the splinter from your brother’s eye.” So, we should not judge and condemn anyone indeed. If we judge others, God will judge us, and if we condemn others, God will condemn us. So, we truly should remain awake.
If you follow Jesus and the Blessed Mother, Who have appeared and are present in Naju, giving us the Messages of Love and performing the miracles of love, you will be in Heaven on the last day. However, Jesus and the Blessed Mother said that if people don’t follow Their Messages, They can’t help them. Therefore, we just need to follow straight the Words Jesus and the Blessed Mother have given to us in Naju.
Before issuing the declaration, Archbishop Yoon of Gwangju diocese believed in Naju. Fr. Chang and six priests from Daegu visited him to request the prompt approval of Our Lady of Naju. At that time, the archbishop said, “I believe in Naju, and in everything regarding Naju. There is no error in the Messages. Regarding the Tears, Tears of Blood, and the Fragrant Oil, because so many priests, religious, and pilgrims have witnessed them personally, I also believe in them. From now on, I’ll focus only one thing: the fruits.”
However, a lady (Martha) wrote the slanderous letter to him. For those cases, it’s necessary to verify whether the claims are true or not. However, the Archbishop of Gwangju didn’t verify the claims and declined his approval of Naju because of the slanderous letter. Does this make sense? Just because of a single slanderous letter, he declared that he could not approve Naju.
When he visited the Vatican, some bishops said to him, “Even so, how could you not approve it based only on that? You should approve Naju.” But he replied, “No, I can’t approve it because Julia did wrong, as reported in that letter. So I won’t do it.”
There was another lady who was healed of terminal uterine cancer here. She had no hope but received graces in Naju that she could hardly carry all. She was bleeding profusely and continuously, making it impossible to even undergo an examination. Nowadays we can still get an examination even if there is profuse bleeding. But there was no way in the past. She was at the final stage of uterine cancer and had no possibility to live.
While she was preparing for her death, her family and in-laws even told her, “In Naju, as long as you get healed, then live your life there as a volunteer.” However, she listened to the lady, who wrote the false letter, and she also wrote one to Bishop Kim, Nam-soo of Suwon diocese, the chairman of the Bishops’ Conference. After reading her letter, the bishop verified facts with me, asking, “What about this? What about that?” I responded to each inquiry, “Such things never happened.”
Then he said, “Yes, I knew it. If you, Julia, had done that, the Lord and the Blessed Mother wouldn’t have started working within you. So keep it up, Julia! Many people give you a hard time because of jealousy, as you are doing the work of Jesus and the Blessed Mother. So, keep going!” This was how he comforted me. Like this, each bishop is different.
Because of the slanderous letter, Fr. Chang couldn’t come to Naju during that time. I love receiving blessings by priests present on the scooped Miraculous Water. I would pray over it and get blessings from priests. I have always believed that Jesus imparts blessings through His priests. One day, when no priest was available, I lifted the Miraculous Water in the container up to the sky.
Singing, “Blood of Jesus Christ my Lord, Blood of Jesus Christ my Lord…”
I prayed, “Jesus, there is no priest here now. So I can’t get any blessing. So, Jesus, please bless this Water from Heaven with the Blessed Mother. Jesus, please give Your Benediction on this, and Blessed Mother, please give blessing!” I was praying while lifting up the Water. Then Jesus and the Blessed Mother appeared in the sky.
Although They could have blessed while standing, as I was lifting up the Water, Jesus and the Blessed Mother leaned forward to give the blessings and blew Their breath over the Water vigorously. Since then, even when priests were not there, I have received the Benediction directly from Jesus. Dear ones, if priests are not around, you can pray with such fervent hearts and drink the Miraculous Water.
Recently, the Blessed Mother showed that the Miraculous Water had turned into Her Thick Milk. Sometimes it is thick, and sometimes watery. We have installed seven faucets at the site because the Water that was given gushed out seven times. Once, when I turned on the third faucet, milky-white Milk came out. I served it to the people there. I turned it on again, and the Mother’s Milk came out once more. I served everyone with it again, and I was also able to collect some of the Mother’s Milk in a bowl.
After I had given the Milk to everyone, I thought, “Now I should drink some for myself and also give some to the people working down there.” However, this time, clear color Water came out instead of white Milk. What should we do? “Oh no, I should have drunk it earlier!” We shouldn’t think that way. Instead, we should understand that “Yes, this Miraculous Water is the same as the Blessed Mother’s Milk!” Even though it looks different, it is still the Blessed Mother’s Milk. Through this miracle, She has shown us that the Water is indeed Her Milk. Therefore, we are drinking the Blessed Mother’s Milk. Many people have been healed by it. So, dear ones, under no circumstances should we give up.
What I want to ask of you is to never abandon yourself. Don’t do it no matter what wrong you have done but say, “I can do it! I can do it!” We can do it. Self-abandonment is what the devil truly desires, and it brings joy to the devil.
If we offer up even the things that we truly desire but can’t do, as little flowers woven with self-renunciation, it pleases the Lord and the Blessed Mother. When we offer them up graciously, the tree of life will bear abundant fruit. However, if we give up or abandon ourselves, saying, “Oh, I’m impossible! I’m utterly incorrigible,” it truly saddens the Lord and the Blessed Mother and brings joy to the devil. And the fruits of our merit that we have accumulated diligently so far tumble down.
But even if we’ve lost the hard-earned merits so far, we can start anew from now. By arming ourselves with the Five Spiritualities and practicing them, we can even gain back the merits that we’ve given away to the devil previously, and we can make the trees of life bear abundant fruit anew. Then we will enjoy eternal happiness in Heaven on the last day. On the last day, we can enjoy the life of resurrection in Heaven where there’s no sorrow or death, only filled with happiness, escorted by angels.
So, while you’re living now, please don’t ever have the adult’s thinking, “Will this be effective if I do this mere thing?” We have to move on to become more and more like simple children. There’s no limit if we indulge ourselves with adult’s thinking. But when we lower ourselves, become humbler, and graciously offer up little flowers that are woven with self-renunciation, the Lord and the Blessed Mother are delighted to see us!
We don't know how much of our remaining lives we have left. It can be one year, ten years, or even a hundred years. So, let’s offer up everything graciously. Even if we can’t practice the Five Spiritualities completely all the time every day, do not worry! Each day we live, even when we stumble, fall, or hit our heads on the ground in our daily lives, let’s surely get up right away and say, “Oh, Jesus I’ll start anew. Lord! I’m going towards you. Please forgive me and give me the strength to start again, Lord!”
Even if we face hardships, pain, and challenges, if we remind ourselves that the Lord and the Blessed Mother are with us, we can overcome anything. Even when faced with tasks we’d rather avoid, we can approach them with the thought, “Oh! My doing this will make it easier for someone else!”
When I was young, I did various works, including working at the hair salon. Once in a while when I visited my mother, she would go out to weed fields. Then I said to her, “Mother, take a rest today. I’ll do it instead!” While other women could only weed one furrow of the field, I could weed two furrows of the field at the same time. While they were doing it like this, I did it in this way. Even when I worked faster, I wasn’t paid double wages. But if I worked even a little more, others could take more rest. Thinking about it, I did so! So, I was so happy. This was before I knew God.
When one of the women struggled to keep up even with one furrow, I ran over to help with her part of the field. This made me feel delighted. Dear all, let’s approach our tasks joyfully. Don’t think, “He keeps me working all the time.” If others are unable to complete their part, we can step in to help and encourage them with love. We shouldn’t say, “Oh, why can’t you do this?” But say, “You’re already doing a good job, and it would be even better if you could do just a little better.” Try this way, because we can lift their spirits.
When we have very hard times, we might just lose our temper. But even in that, we should say, “Lord! My apologies. I did wrong. I’ll start anew.” We might make mistakes with our kids as well. In such cases, we just need to say to them, “I’m sorry.” We need to spread the message of God in a chain reaction and through multi-level steps. However, when a husband scolds his wife, she then scolds the eldest son, who in turn scolds the younger brother. This kind of chain reaction should not be passed down.
Let us who are here become little souls, and be more lowly and humble children, practice the Five Spiritualities, and let us become instruments for the Glory of the Lord and the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Let us enjoy eternal happiness in Heaven on the last day. Amen! Thank you!
Let’s love one another, not only here but also share that love abundantly with your family. Thank you.
Let us meditate on the Messages of Love given by Jesus and the Blessed Mother.
This is the Message of Love from Jesus on August 15, 2002.
“My children who have been called! Now, the night has grown deeper, thus signaling the approaching dawn. That the new heaven and the new earth may be realized, I want you to hurriedly awake up from sleep; and graciously offer up even the trivial things, without squandering even one of them or taking it lightly, by turning your lives into prayers.
As you are drawing closer to Me through My Mother as little persons, like children, and making Me and My Mother known, you will be blessed with eternal happiness before My throne in My kingdom on the last day.” Amen!
This is the Message of Love from the Blessed Mother on November 4, 1991.
“My beloved children! Now offer up even those trivial things in your life to Me graciously. I will give you the power to transcend even the most trivial things. When you offer up completely and drink the painful cups of the cross and martyrdom with love, even those who are deserted in the middle of the pains of death will repent and see the light in darkness. From this small land, a land made fertile by the blood of so many martyrs, the light will shine upon the whole world through My little soul who looks poor. My Immaculate Heart will surely triumph in the midst of the glorious victory by Christ.” Amen!
Put your hands on your chest. If there are things we couldn’t offer up well or at all in our lives, let us lay down everything to Jesus so that the Lord and the Blessed Mother may give us the strength to offer up graciously.
Jesus and Blessed Mother Who are truly present and with us! May You receive praise, thanksgiving and glory from us, who are unworthy, forever and ever. This world is now filled with darkness, but these little souls are here prostrating and praying to the Lord and the Blessed Mother.
Under the scorching heat amidst such a hot, hard, and exhausting condition, Your children here prayed on the Way of the Cross and are working and praying for the Glory of God and the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. How adorable all these children are! Jesus, please specially bless all these children. Blessed Mother, please give blessings to them.
By saying “Welcome My dear babies. Arm yourselves with the Five Spiritualities and practice them so that you may fully enjoy exultation, love, and peace until the day you come to Heaven in my arms,” please lay Your hands on the head of each one of us, and bless us.
We have countless wounds within us. But Jesus, You can heal all our wounds completely, without leaving any marks.
I earnestly hope that You will lay Your hands on each one of these children, bless them, blow Your breath upon them, kiss them, hug them, and embrace them in Your Mantle. May all their wounds, received from the time they were in their mothers’ wombs until this moment, be healed completely, we earnestly hope. Please allow us to be born anew today.
Jesus, today, we are gathered here to pray on the day of the Assumption of the Blessed Mother. Jesus, You raised the Blessed Mother’s body and soul altogether. In order that we also can go with clean souls like Her, and that we become Her twin siblings who exactly resemble the Blessed Mother, please heal our souls and bodies. And may the rest of our lives be filled with joy, love, and peace.
We’re unworthy, but for You, nothing is impossible, O Lord. In order that we may work for the Glory of the Lord and the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and that no matter what devils attack us, we may immediately defeat them and live the renewed life of the resurrection, help us practice the Five Spiritualities. May this give glory to You and comfort to the Blessed Mother, and an unceasing thanksgiving from us.

This sinner wandered in the secular world.
Your children came to comfort the Blessed Mother!
As a handkerchief of love, please use us!
This sinner, stained with sins, prostrate before You, begging for Your forgiveness.
Mama, You know all Your children’s sins.
Wash away the sore wounds with Your love and Tears of Blood.
You hugged this sinner wandering around.
The only place to turn to is You, Mama. I am embraced by Your bosom.
You open Your arms and embrace so many children.
You’re all hoarse from crying out again and again.
Mother, my Mother, now stop weeping Tears of Blood.
We will now repent and make a new start.
This sinner who cried out for love but failed to practice.
You hug me in the Lord’s love and the Blessed Mother’s bosom.
Jesus, Blessed Mother, as You accept me today as well,
I’ll be saved as I repent and live a life of resurrection.
Amen. Amen!
