Praise be to Jesus! Praise be to the Blessed Mother!
My name is Agnes Park from Suwon, South Korea.
When I was young, my father passed away early. Because of that, I longed deeply to receive a fatherโs love. I strongly wished to marry into a family where a father-in-law was present, hoping to experience that affection. For this reason, I married my husband. However, from the very first day we returned from our honeymoon, completely unexpected hardships began.
My father-in-law suffered from alcoholism. Whenever he drank, he would pour out verbal abuse, harsh words, and curses, and the household would be thrown into chaos. Such situations were all too frequent. Day after day, life in my in-lawsโ home felt like walking on thin ice. It was extremely difficult for me to endure and adapt to such a tense and fearful family life.
In that environment, my soul gradually began to wither and crumble, making normal life increasingly difficult. I endured years of severe depression, paranoia, and alcohol addiction, even attempting to take my own lifeย with sleeping pills.
As if that werenโt enough, despite my husbandโs reputation for being diligent at work, he would often be dismissed without reason, and when he did manage to keep a job, the company would go bankrupt. No matter how hard we tried, things never seemed to improve.There were times when we had no money for even a single won to place in the collection basket at Mass, and the food we received from charity often included expired noodles and spoiled side dishes. Receiving such offerings deeply pained my heart.
Through the pilgrimage to Naju, I came to realize that all of this was Godโs great love meant to refine us. ๐๐๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
The Blessed Mother of Naju also showed many miracles to our struggling family. Although I cannot recount them all due to time constraints, whenever I expressed my needs to the Blessed Mother of Naju, it was truly remarkable how she would send others to fulfill them abundantly!
Because our family faced financial difficulties, we could not continue the pilgrimage regularly. However, a significant turning point occurred in my life. In 2015, I attended the 30th anniversary of the Blessed Mother of Najuโs tears.
At that time, the words spoken by Mama Julia resonated deeply with my soul, awakening me.ย As I reflected on my past, like a film replaying, I realized how prideful and sinful I had been, despite always being told I was kind. I repented fervently.As I remembered the wrongs I had done to my husband and children, the layers of my false self began to peel away, and I saw a new version of myself.
What Mama Julia had said was the awakening call for my slumbering soul.
Upon awakening, my eyes opened, my ears opened, and the closed doors of my heart swung wide open. ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
I came to understand that the conflicts with my husband were all my fault, and I realized how lacking I had been.ย This awareness led me to a profound repentance and transformation.
After that, whenever memories of my past wrongs came to mind, I soughtย forgiveness from my husband and also apologized to my children.
I had always felt that the Lord and the Blessed Mother were distant, as if a great wall stood between us.
That wall was none other than my own ego, pride, and sinful nature. But after repentance in Naju, thatย thick, towering barrier crumbled.
As that wall fell, I found myself embraced by Jesus and the Blessed Mother as a child, no longer distant.
Now, I dare to call them Mother and Father, and I call myself a sinner.
I have come to realize how comforting and secure the embrace of my heavenly parents is, and I lack nothing in this world. I have found my true parents.
Even Mama Julia, who is without sin, accepted the blame for the suffering inflicted by others, recognizing it as her own fault. How tragic it would be if such a sinner like myself did not repent!
I offer boundless gratitude to Mama Julia, who endured immense suffering to bring about my repentance. Thank you, Mama Julia. I am deeply grateful.
Another remarkable grace is that Mama Julia prayed for our familyโs pilgrimage to Naju,ย and through the Blessed Motherโs blessings and provisions, we have been able to continue our pilgrimages steadily.
We give thanks and glory to the Lord and the Blessed Mother. Thank you so much, Mama Julia. Through the retreat of โThe Life Prepared by the Lord,โ I am living a second life of repentance, and I am profoundly thankful. Thank you, thank you very much.

After working for a long time in the kitchen, my bones had become completely bent.ย The doctor told me that they could never be straightened and that I would have to live with them that way.
Then, in February of this year, I found myself running to Mama Julia, and as she extended her hand, I took hold of it and touched her.
And after wearing the gloves made with All Signs of Grace of Naju,ย the holy article, my bones were miraculously straightened.ย Through Mama Juliaโs loving suffering, I was healed. ๐๐๐๐โจโจโจ
When my youngest daughter Anna was four years old, she had severe atopic dermatitis.ย After bathing with the Miraculous Water in Naju, her atopic condition was instantly healed, and she has remained clear and healthy ever since.๐ฅฐ๐๐๐๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป
When she was five, she suffered from otitis media and cried out in agony. However, I placed three drops of the Blessed Motherโs miraculous water in my daughterโs earย and offered a brief prayer before going to the hospital. When they took an X-ray, the doctor found something unusual and decided to take a second X-ray. After the second scan, the doctor said, โThere is nothing wrong.โ The Blessed Mother healed the otitis mediaย with just three drops of the miraculous water. ๐ง๐ง๐ง
I have received many graces while raising my children. I am deeply grateful to the Blessed Mother of Naju, who has been with me in every step of my life, and to Mama Julia, who awakened my soul with her words of love.
I will forever repay this kindness. I love you so very much. All glory is given to the Lord and the Blessed Mother of Naju. Thank you. ๐๐๐๐๐๐
