To commemorate the 12th anniversary of the Blessed Mother’s first weeping tears in Naju, more than thirty priests from Korea and abroad visited Naju and concelebrated the commemorative Mass. During my meditation after receiving the Eucharist, I saw a vision: the world was engulfed in total darkness, devoid of any light. From within that darkness came the anguished cries of countless souls.
I cried out loudly, “Lord! Have mercy!” My heart ached as if it were being torn apart, overwhelmed with sorrow for the souls who had lost their way, wandering and wailing in the darkness. I cried out again, “Let us repent! Repentance is the shortcut to salvation. When we pray and ask God to forgive us our sins accepting everything as our own fault the Lord will save us without questioning our past.”
Then, the sighs and cries of many people turned into tears of repentance and prayers. At that moment, a bright ray of light shone down from the sky. The beautiful Blessed Mother of Mercy, clothed in a blue mantle and holding Baby Jesus, appeared, radiating light and escorted by the angels. As she descended toward us, the light gradually spread, illuminating the entire world. Countless people who had been weeping saw the light, stood up, and joyfully welcomed the Blessed Mother. Then, she spoke to us with a kind and gentle voice.
THE BLESSED MOTHER: Daughter! Did you see that? The majority of the shepherds of the Church are not accepting me even now. Because of this, the world is covered with a terrible darkness and is about to sink into a deep chasm of darkness.
The darkness in the world has become so dense that the world now stands at a crossroads. This crisis manifests itself in the Church as deepening division and apostasy, which is found even among priests. Numerous clergy and children are not only refusing to accept my invitation but are showing outright defiance to it, cruelly nailing my Son Jesus to the Cross again.
However, you came from many places around the world to commemorate my tears and tears of blood, responding to my invitation with Amen. Therefore, I will embrace you all in my burning Immaculate Heart and nurture you afresh.
My beloved priests! My lovable sons whom I can put in my eyes without feeling any pain! Upon the priests who were invited to my banquet and came to seek me, I will bestow special graces. They may appear weak now, but, as I know that they will believe in, accept, and practice my words well, I will help them take many herds of sheep to Heaven and enter it.
Just as God recognized Abraham as a righteous man for his firm faith, I will also recognize you who follow me and make me known, and will put laurel crowns on you and let you stand by my side at the time of the Last Judgment.
However, my children! Do not be unwatchful or complacent. The devil knows well about the graces you have received. In order to sever you from my love, he will, with wickedness and cruelty, tempt you to cling to your own self will, thereby sowing division and pride among you. Therefore, always remain awake and pray with me.
Even at this moment, this Mother's Heart aches deeply because of the priests and many children who, like the Pharisees, pursue miracles out of curiosity, rather than consoling me, who implore you with tears and tears of blood.
Tears streamed down from the Blessed Mother’s eyes as she said this. She then resumed speaking sorrowfully, yet lovingly.
THE BLESSED MOTHER: Not only my children who do not know me but even the clergy are not recognizing my anxious pleas that I am crying out, shedding tears. Instead, they are devising useless schemes, only to fall into their own traps... They are not only refusing to listen to my words but are also refusing to verify facts, being filled with curiosity and rejecting me with no fear of God and with a distorted mind. I am overcome with sorrows.
The Blessed Mother continued weeping.
THE BLESSED MOTHER: My beloved children! I will let the light, love and grace from my Immaculate Heart overflow in all of you who came despite the long distance, seeking me, who have been imploring you with tears.
In this dangerous, extremely dangerous age, if you recognize how much this Mother is needed by all of you and choose to follow me, you will surely see new buds sprouting even on the burnt ground. Upon all of you who have gathered at my great banquet, I bestow my love combined with God’s blessing. Now, receive the blessing.
At that moment, as I made the Sign of the Cross, I saw the priests giving the final blessing at the end of the Mass.
