๐๏ธ๐Mama Julia’s Current Situation
Mama Julia is recovering from spinal surgery and is in a very weak state. During the end of the year and the new year, she is offering up unimaginable pain, including severe headaches and heart pain, and struggles to breathe due to oxygen deprivation. Her blood pressure has risen, and her body, including her hands and feet, has swollen. She is unable to sleep and sweats so much that her pillow becomes soaked, needing to change pillows four to five times a night. She offers up the pain of autonomic nervous system dysfunction, which intensifies her physical suffering. Transitioning from a position of giving help to one of receiving it has filled her heart with sorrow.
The attacks from the devil have become more intense, and in addition to direct attacks, the devil is using collaborators and volunteers within the community to attack her, adding to the suffering. The struggles come from stubbornness, rationalizing, and making excuses, which prevent us from turning our lives into prayers. Because we are not living the Five Spiritualities, these struggles arise.
We must live the Five Spiritualities and follow Mama Julia, who is offering up all her suffering for us. This will bring comfort to her, and we should make efforts to bring joy to her by offering up all our pains for her, who is offering up everything for us.
๐ Mama Julia’s Words During a Call ๐
Mama Julia began by saying that she offers up all her suffering for the "Nihil Obstat (Nothing Hinders)" declaration of Naju and for all Naju pilgrims and their families. She prays that all our prayer intentions will be answered.
On this first Saturday of the new year, she assured that Jesus will give us all the necessary graces.
Let us observe the First Saturday devotion well.
“It was a day of cruel suffering for me a long, long day when I was left alone, having lost my Son Jesus. I always had sufferings from the day I conceived Jesus my Son, but, on that Holy Saturday, I expressed sorrows externally for the first time and cried so miserably all night praying for my Son Jesus and for sinners. Those painful hours were also the time for transition from my Son's Death to His Resurrection, a day for going from death to life. This is the reason why I asked you to pray with me tonight.” (Message of Love from the Blessed Mother of Naju, Feb 6, 1993)
We must be cautious about words, as one word can hurt others. Let us avoid judgment, criticism, and gossip, and only speak words of kindness. If we speak ill, maggots will come out of our mouths. By practicing love and charity, the maggots will melt away. We must not look sideways, nor turn back, but hold fast to the Blessed Mother’s hand and join in saving the world. If we stay vigilant and transform our daily lives into prayers, we will experience the glory at the Lord and the Blessed Mother’s Throne in Heaven on the last day.
Holy Mass for the Solemnity of the Epiphany of the Lord
May you receive abundant graces!!! ๐๐โจ๐ฅฐ๐๐ป
