[Five Spiritualities Testimony] 💞 Finding Our Lady of Naju amid Financial Struggles, Failures, and Deep Depression: Transformed Life of Faith!

Finding Our Lady of Naju amid Financial Struggles,

Failures, and Deep Depression: Transformed Life of Faith!

But I still wanted to start over from scratch, and this time, I wanted to find God. I started looking for evidence of God, thinking that there must be evidence somewhere. After searching for it on the Internet, I saw a video of Julia Kim carrying a large cross, wearing a crown of thorns, and bleeding profusely from her head at the Blessed Mother’s Mountain in Naju, South Korea.

Suddenly, she fell hard to the ground carrying the cross. There were many people around her, crying. I was stunned watching the scene in the video, and I knew that at that moment it confirmed that Jesus had carried the cross and died.

I realized that everything I learned through Catholic teachings was true, and I also realized that my spiritual state at that time was that of heading toward hell. I felt fear and immediately asked God for forgiveness. I sobbed for a long time and prayed, “God, please forgive me. I truly did not know. Please forgive me.” At that moment, I was amazingly able to understand so much altogether simultaneously.

Now that I know God through the video on Mama Julia's suffering, I realized how easily I had sinned, and I was so sorry for that. So, I asked for forgiveness. I restarted my life as a faithful Catholic believer after deeply repenting for my sins and receiving the Sacrament of Confession.

My New Faith Journey

That scene of Julia Kim carrying the cross, bleeding from her head, and wearing a crown of thorns changed me into a completely different person. It was a very powerful grace for me. Since then, my long journey of learning about Catholicism has started. I read the Bible from beginning to end, again, read many books on saints and Catholicism, and researched more about the mysteries in Naju.

After years of studying to find out the reason why the Lord and the Virgin Mary gave signs to the little soul, Julia Kim, and have done God’s works in Naju, South Korea, I learned that Korea is such a holy land that has 103 saints and over 10,000 martyrs, and I learned that Julia Kim lived her life volunteering to sacrifice herself for other poor souls, and that she shared the Lord’s suffering with the Lord’s permission.

Miracles

The miracles and phenomena that occurred in Naju and the messages of the Lord and the Blessed Mary are in line with the Catholic Church’s teachings. I have experienced miracles in Naju in recent years. On June 30th, 2023, I witnessed the miracle of the spinning sun at the Blessed Mother's Mountain in Naju in the presence of around 2,500 pilgrims. The Lord also granted me the opportunity to witness my own eyes Julia Kim bleeding heavily from her head due to the pain of the crown of thorns on March 29th, 2024.

My devotion has deepened.

I have been attending Mass daily, praying the Rosary fervently, receiving the sacrament of Confession regularly, actively serving in the church, and leading Our Lady of Naju Prayer Group in USA.

My religious life before and after I learned about Naju surprised me. I will live according to the will of the Lord, and as I found the Lord and the Virgin Mary through Naju, I will try to spread the words of the Lord through Naju to others, so numerous people can repent and convert to truth Catholic faith.
