[The Five Spiritualities Testimony] 🙏 Even after losing tens of thousands of dollars to fraud, I live joyfully through the Five Spiritualities! - Testimony by Yuliana Moon

✨Even after losing tens of thousands of dollars to fraud,

I live joyfully through the Five Spiritualities!✨ 

💌Praised be to Jesus! Praised be to the Blessed Mother!

I first came to Naju in 1989, guided by a nun living in Seoul. When I entered the Blessed Mother’s Chapel, I saw that Our Lady was shedding tears, and she continued to shed many tears during prayer, some even falling at her feet.

Later, I got married, and whenever life became difficult, I would visit the Chapel of Our Lady of Naju to pray. Each time, Our Lady comforted me and gave me strength, and it was through that grace that I was able to carry on.
My husband and I had very different lifestyles. I used to cry a lot in my daily life, but during the prayer meetings at the Chapel of Our Lady of Naju, Our Lady granted me the grace of love overflowing in my heart. 

Suddenly, I felt a strong desire to see my husband. I often experienced this during the prayer meetings in Naju, which allowed us to live together devotedly without separating. Mama Julia’s saying that “The echo of love always comes back.” came true, and now my husband tells me, “Thank you for living with me.”

As a Catholic, I considered it my duty to pray for the salvation of my in-laws’ souls. My in-laws include four brothers and one sister. My mother-in-law had been indifferent to the faith for a long time and had only recently started attending Mass, while my brother-in-law had received infant baptism but had remained distant from the faith for many years. Therefore, I consecrated each of my in-laws individually to Our Lady of Naju and prayed for them in Naju.

Soon after, my brother-in-law received his First Communion, and my sister-in-law and my younger brother-in-law also received baptism. My father, whom I often encouraged to attend Mass, had always declined. So I earnestly prayed to Our Lady of Naju, asking that he might receive baptism before his passing.

Then, one day, my father was admitted to a large hospital, and three days later, we were told to prepare for his passing. However, he did not pass away and remained hospitalized for another month before being discharged. Suddenly, my father asked me, “How does one receive baptism at the church?"

I used the Naju miraculous holy water that I always carried to administer baptism to my father. My father then lived for another two years. Through the intercession of Our Lady of Naju, my prayers were all answered, and the Lord extended my father’s life and granted him salvation.

My second brother-in-law and his wife used to quarrel frequently, and given their personalities, I thought it might be impossible for them to receive baptism at the church. 

I even considered giving up praying for them, but then I remembered Mama Julia’s words: “Do not give up, and when you pray persistently, the echo will surely return.” So I continued to pray. Not long ago, the second brother-in-law and his wife also received baptism.

My husband and I often attend couple retreats. During these gatherings, I shared about Our Lady of Naju, showing pictures and explaining about Her tears, tears of blood, miracles, and signs. Among the participants, a Protestant sister converted to Catholicism and received baptism. Moreover, most of the couples attending the retreats have also received baptism. This is the fruit of entrusting everything to Our Lady of Naju and praying persistently until the end.

Recently, my child became a victim of a phone scam, and deceived by lies, handed over all the money he had saved and even took loans from several savings banks, losing tens of millions of won. However, as Mama Julia has taught, we accepted this suffering with love, practicing Semchigo as if we were being loved, and “Turned it into Prayers” that as many sinners would repent as the amount of money lost. 

Our family also supported each other so that the matter could be resolved well.
At the police station because of that incident, a detective commented that usually when people come in for questioning, there are arguments and the station becomes chaotic, but our family was incredibly quiet, giving him a very good impression. 

Because we offered it up through the Five Spiritualities, we were able to maintain peace and continue our daily lives without losing composure. The Five Spiritualities are a guiding principle in my life.

The greatest grace I received during my pilgrimages to Naju was realizing that I am the greatest sinner who has lived only in sin. 

I used to blame my husband for everything, but I came to understand that it was all my fault. I repented deeply for not practicing love as Mama Julia does, realizing that this was my greatest wrongdoing. I am profoundly grateful to Mama Julia, who, through her sufferings, helped me to be reborn.

I offer all my gratitude and praise for these graces to the Lord through the Blessed Mother, and I am deeply thankful to Mama Julia. 😊💖
