💌 595. A Blissful Enchanting Date with Jesus, Like an Oasis

I had no one to turn to for help, overwhelmed by countless internal and external pains that left me unable to move. Despite this, my heart was filled with thoughts of Jesus alone. “If only I could console His torn Sacred Heart through this suffering... Even though I could not even lift a finger and must pray while lying down, let me practice Semchigo as if I were kneeling with my arms raised and Semchigo as if I received love from Jesus.” With this resolution, I fervently offered my prayers.

At one point, I entered a state of ecstasy. In this vision, I was walking along a countryside path when I noticed a group of people gathered, murmuring and weeping. I thought, “What is going on?” and approached them. There, I saw someone on the verge of death. Suddenly, a deep conviction arose in me that if I prayed for him, Jesus would raise him to life, just as He had brought Lazarus back from the dead.

Although I am a mere, unworthy sinner, I entrusted him to Jesus and decided to pray for him. On one hand, I felt anxiety, constantly aware of my unworthiness but I also fully understood that everything would be accomplished not by my own power. With this assurance, I was able to pray with steadfast faith: “In the Name of Jesus of Nazareth, I pray: Rise and walk.”

Then, his eyes suddenly opened and he came back to life! “Oh, Jesus, for Whom nothing is impossible! You have done this!” I praised and glorified the Lord. I walked away from the astonished crowd and went to a place where they would not notice me. I wanted to climb the mountain, so I started up the hill, though it took some effort.

As I was climbing the very steep hill, just as I was about to slip, someone suddenly grabbed my hand. It was a very warm, large hand belonging to a man. Startled, I quickly tried to pull my hand away but he held on even tighter. “Who could this be?” I wondered in surprise. When I looked up, I was amazed—it was my Lord, gazing at me with loving eyes and smiling!

Jesus was wearing a pure white farmer’s outfit, top and bottom, and I had never seen Him dressed like this before. As I climbed the hill with Jesus, I became like a child, so joyful that I skipped along, sometimes rushing into His arms for a hug while walking, kissing His hands, and running alongside Him. Filled with overwhelming joy, I did not know what to do. Jesus gently lifted me up with both hands, kissed me on the cheek and held me tightly as He lowered me back down.

As we walked hand in hand, I was so happy that I rubbed my face against His. Jesus, far from rejecting me, smiled lovingly and gently bent down to my level, bringing His face close to mine. He tenderly stroked my head and caressed my face with warmth. How could I possibly express all the ecstasy of those moments?

My soul was overflowing with joy, as if it would burst, immersed in a sea of rich happiness. After walking for a while, we arrived at an arbor. My Lord led me there. When we reached the arbor, the Blessed Mother was waiting. She greeted Jesus and me with open arms, smiling at us with the compassionate and loving smile of a mother.

Our Lady was also dressed in a peasant’s hanbok, typically worn by women. As both the Lord and the Blessed Mother smiled at me with great beauty, They lifted me up together into Their warm embrace. How cozy and comforting Their arms were!... I was cradled in the Blessed Mother’s gentle embrace and before I knew it, I was nestled in the wide, warm arms of my Lord Jesus, resting together with Him.
