Mama Julia's Inspiring Spiritual Message during the Special Night for International Pilgrims, July 2, 2023
A Chain Reaction More Powerful than a Nuclear Reaction!
Praise be to Jesus! Praise be to the Blessed Mother!
Dear Archbishops, Bishop, Fathers, and all who have come from afar, I am delighted to meet you!
There might have been numerous attacks from the devil until your arrival here. Where graces abound, so do many devils.
Just as high protein causes more foul smell when it decomposes, there always seem to be more devils of division filling the sky and the earth in places filled with grace, attempting to topple us.
Now you find yourself in a place where innumerable miracles have been unfolding – miracles that even the prophets of the old times yearned to witness but did not witness and yearned to hear but did not hear.
Regardless of what the people of the world say, you are here to follow the Lord and Blessed Mother, both of whom have appeared and are currently present in Naju. I listened to the priest’s testimony a little earlier. He is right. The final judge is not the Pope, bishops, or priests, but Jesus, Who was crucified and died on the Cross, God.
If we engage in discussions using human logic and contemplate matters in human terms, we cannot go to Heaven. We should imitate Jesus like a simple child. We should follow the Lord and Blessed Mother, by clearly realizing the simple truth, jeo-gu-chim-ju (積羽沈舟).
Jeo-gu-chim-ju (積羽沈舟) is the truth that even light feathers accumulated together in large numbers can sink a boat.
As I mentioned yesterday, I was born into a prosperous family and lived a joyful life. However, our family shattered completely when I was only four years old due to the outbreak of the Korean War.
I have died and been revived more than 30 times so far. This kind of experience began when I first died at the age of five, and again at six. I think the Lord has revived me from death not because I lived a good life, but because since I was little, I have lived out a life with the Five Spiritualities in a simple manner, practicing Semchigo without harboring any grudges, though I did not necessarily know that I was doing it.
Undoubtedly, all of you must have had numerous experiences throughout your lives, too. The more God loves us, the more hardships follow us. Some people claim, “God loves me, so He has shielded me from any suffering,” but this assertion is not true.
Despite my unworthiness and inadequacy, I’ve faced sufferings and had many people trying to kill me since I was young. However, I never held a grudge against anyone. Instead, I navigated each situation practicing Semchigo as if I were loved. But I’m also not saying that I’ve always excelled in living perfectly.
God (the Father) and Jesus allowed for me to undergo numerous hardships since my early days. They placed me in the furnace of sufferings for me to be trained. They might have been testing me, thinking, “Let Me see how you will navigate through these adversities.”
They might have also subjected you to tests, especially our Archbishops, Bishop, and Fathers present here.
Whatever pain we may suffer, we should offer it up graciously. People who haven’t heard of Naju might not know about “the Five Spiritualities.” Many people might know about making aspirations, but “the Prayers of Life” is fundamentally different from making aspirations.
As I mentioned yesterday, even though the Prayers of Life might seem insignificant and trivial, it holds great value for prayer. Jesus teaches us that the Prayers of Life are powerful prayers, which can fill again and again the abyss that lies between Jesus’ Greatness and our nothingness. When we’re preoccupied, the Prayers of Life can be overlooked. If we’re not completely alert, we could let them pass by.
However, if we are reminded in the moment, “Oh! I didn’t turn this into a prayer!” then we can offer it up then. How numerous are our opportunities? As long as we remain vigilant, we can offer up countless prayers limitlessly.
Think of each prayer as a fruit borne on the Tree of Eternal Life. The Prayers of Life might seem insignificant or unremarkable, but as we are told, through these Prayers, each fruit opens on the Tree of Eternal Life, and it is these fruits that determine if we can ascend to Heaven.
Also, not one of the Five Spiritualities can be separated from another. All the prayers in the Five Spiritualities are inseparable.
It is not “you are you” and “I am I.” We are all one. Jesus wants all of us to become one. Let us imagine someone making a mistake. If another person reproaches them by saying, “Why are you like that?” they might respond, “Why are you being like this to me?” If they end up fighting and shouting “Hey hey!” at each other in tears, it would be like driving large nails into the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, piercing arrows into Their Hearts, and shattering Them into pieces.
Instead of saying “Hey! Why are you like that to me?” if we say, “Oh, did I do something wrong?” it can make the other person feel sorry. Then that person might answer, "No, there's no need to apologize. I had some hard feelings on you so far, so I acted that way. I'm sorry." Then how pleased would the Lord and the Blessed Mother be if you said this? Okay? Amen.
Even if someone were to strike you and attempt to cast you into an abyss through false accusations, when you pray for that person, fully placing your trust in the Lord, both the Lord and Blessed Mother will make sure that you do not fall into a bottomless pit. Instead, They will definitely grasp your hands and rescue you. As a result, you will bear abundant fruits on the Tree of Eternal Life.
In the past, I ran a joint (academic) business with two men. Both of them had affections for me. When I told them I would leave the academy, one of them penned a lengthy letter to me, stating, “Miss Yoon, we were really sorry. That won’t happen again. We could never run this academy without you.” As they promised not to do it again, I returned to the academy. However, after a few days, they reverted back to their previous behavior.
Then, in order to leave the academy, I had no other choice but to tell them like this, “I need to move to another town for my upcoming marriage, so I cannot continue with the academy.” And so, they assured me that they would refund my money on a specific date. On that day, however, I found only an accounting clerk there. She asked me to wait a moment, so I sat there waiting.
Then, out of nowhere, two women emerged. They flipped me over onto the cold cement floor and positioned themselves on top of me. At that time, I weighed 54kg, and my waist measured 23 inches—how petite I was! With a height of 162cm, I was slender.
Yet, on top of me were those two robust women. One gripped my hair, slamming my forehead against the cement floor. I bled profusely, and was rendered speechless. One of them yanked my hair and a significant amount of it came out. The other woman was on my other side, and started hurting my legs by biting and twisting.
And then, standing over me, they grasped me from both sides, and repeatedly slammed my head against a large iron machine, shouting, “Ready, get set, go!” At that moment, I died. Yet the Lord revived me.
I did not think, “Ah, why are they doing this to me?” Instead I forgave them, never harboring hatred, though I had not known of the Lord at that time. One of the men conspired within his family to avoid giving me a refund. I offered it up with Semchigo as if I were loved.
I endured their assault till the very end, all the while calling out to my father. “Father, what should I do? Mother has lived by counting on me alone. What will become of her if I were to die? Father, I implore you for help.” At that moment, I was dying. But Jesus appeared, reviving me with His voice.
On another occasion, I passed away and even defecated. However, He revived me by patting me with the force of His large hand. There was also a time when He revived me by saying to me, “Rise.”
In that situation, if I had reacted like this, “You! Why are you hitting me?” the Lord might not have saved me. This happened when I still did not know of God. But we know of God, right? No matter what situation we encounter from now on, instead of saying “Why are you like this?” we should say, “I’m sorry, I will improve. Jesus, please forgive me.” This is the path we should choose.
We should be united with Jesus and Mary, irrespective of what others might say—even if they label us as foolish. Then, we can go to Heaven on the last day. Even though people in this world label us as fools, it does not matter.
There was another time when I had no money as I was supporting my mother-in-law. In the third month of my pregnancy, my husband was assigned to be the director of the Yeongam branch. Then we went to Yeongam to rent a room to live in.
After that, when we got on the bus in the bus terminal, I heard someone shout, “A woman like that, a wretched prostitute, deserves to die!” At first I thought, “There must be a prostitute here.”
But on the bus steps, I heard those words again from very close behind me. I felt worried, so I looked back and understood that those words were meant for me.
So I said, “Excuse me? I have a husband. You don’t want to say that. You don’t even know me.” Suddenly, he seized my collar mercilessly, flinging me to the ground.
Then he started kicking and striking me. As he kicked my belly, it caused a miscarriage.
My husband protected only this body part by repeating, "She's my wife. She's my wife." Meanwhile, the young man continued to assault me.
My sister-in-law was there too, so my husband hurried to the police station, only entrusting me to her care. But then the man started pulling me towards the bathroom, grabbing my throat and shouting, “I'm going to thrust you into the toilet.” Initially, I feared he might force me into a squat toilet. So in order not to be taken there, I resisted him though I was pregnant.
His leather jacket was torn due to my resistance, and my clothes were also ripped as he tried to drag me. However, I never thought, “Why is this man doing this to me?” It was my fault. Seeing this heart, the Lord must have given me the strength.
If I had been an unattractive, overweight middle-aged woman, he might not have acted that way. I thought to myself, “Yes, I am not unattractive, and I am slender. It's entirely my fault.”
In the end, I managed to prevent him from taking me into the bathroom ; instead, I pulled him away from there. Later, I learned that he saw me as a home wrecker seducing a married man, and he intended to sexually assault me in the bathroom.
At that moment, my husband and policemen arrived, and we headed to the police station where our marriage’s legal status was confirmed. Both my husband and I had ID cards.
Then the young man said, “Sister, please forgive me!” He explained he had a 19-year-old younger sister, and since I looked nineteen and Julio looked older, he thought I was a girl who followed married men around. So he intended to kill me.
He began to plead, “Sister, please forgive me.
I believed you were an unmarried girl having an affair with a married man.” He wanted to punish me because I reminded him of his sister.
At that time, I was not baptized yet, but I knew God. He knelt down and sought my forgiveness. So I responded without hesitation, “In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, I forgive your sins.” In those days, we said Holy Ghost instead of Holy Spirit.
The police officer beside me seemed to think, “That husband must be a fool living with such a woman.”
Even though they did, how does it matter? Jesus and the Blessed Mother’s love for us is sufficient. What does it matter to seek recognition and love from humans?
While it is certainly important to love and to be loved, I sincerely believed the fault was mine in this case, and the man had already asked for my forgiveness. So I responded, “In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, I forgive your sins." At that time, I was already having a miscarriage, and blood was flowing continuously.
What benefit would I have gained if I hadn’t forgiven him and sent him to jail instead? Even if I had received compensation for the miscarriage, of what use would the money have been? I offered it up completely.
Then while we were at the police station, it was getting late into the night. Nowadays, women can buy pads anytime. In the past, this wasn’t available. Stores were already closed. So, I went to the bathroom, removed my underwear, and used it to cover my private area.
Because of his merciless kicks and stomping on my belly, I suffered a miscarriage and bled profusely. But I whispered, “I’m sorry, my baby. We wouldn't have faced this ordeal if I had looked more unattractive, fatter, and older. This terrible incident happened to you because I am your mother. I’m sorry." That’s how I offered it up.
Then after we moved to Yeongam, one day we went to the bus terminal to go to my in-law’s house in Gwangju. Then someone came out running and shouted, “Sister! Brother!” Julio said, “No one would call me brother here.” I said, “No one also would call me sister here.” Then we found it was the guy.
He had been a gangster, but to our surprise, he left the gang and was transformed into a completely new person. This is the love of Jesus.
So, whatever may happen to us, if we graciously offer up everything to the Lord and Blessed Mother, it's not just you, and it's not just the other person, but even those who follow that person can become new people. So, let's live like that.
As another example, one day our motorbike disappeared. When I was running a beauty parlor, my husband always came to take me home on his motorbike after work. When we were about to go home, we found out that it had disappeared. It belonged to Julio’s office.
So we searched everywhere for it but to no avail. Then I immediately offered it up. Offering up is important. Please do not say, “What bastard took it?” If we say it this way, the merits that we’ve arduously accumulated will collapse.
So I thought, “It’s our fault, because we parked it there.” I was considering the purchase of a new one.
But the next day, I received a call from the police station. “Did you happen to lose a green motorbike?” I replied we did. It was lost in Naju, but found in near Gwangju. “Then, come here quickly.” When we arrived, we knew that it was ours and that those who stole it had removed the lock to hot-wire it.
They were considered bad kids, and troubled youth. They went to a junk shop to sell it, telling the owner "My brother gave me the motorcycle to use for pocket money." Then he became suspicious of them and contacted the police.
Julio and I had already offered it up from the beginning, regarding it as our fault. Then, although we did not work hard to get it back, Jesus personally found it for us. When we went to see, we found that it was our motorbike and the children were sitting down. They hadn’t eaten anything since they were caught the previous day.
So I thought, "Oh my, how hungry they must be! I am going to at least buy them some bread and milk." But there was no supermarket nearby, so I went a distance away and bought a large castella cake and a big bottle of milk.
Then I said, “Dear ones, try this. You must be really hungry.” But they didn’t take it, only keeping their heads down. I asked, “Don't you want to eat it?” They said, “Yes!” probably worried that I wouldn’t actually give it to them. At that time the police officers said, “They are handcuffed behind.” Then I saw them handcuffed to the chair like this.
So I personally fed them with the bread and milk, saying, “Chew it well so you won’t have an upset stomach.” I reassured them, “I’m sorry, this is not just your fault, it’s all of our fault. It’s my fault of parking it there, and considering your living conditions, I can understand that you needed money for your expenses, leading you to take the motorcycle. Don’t worry, just enjoy the food.”
Then I saw the police officers twirling their fingers next to their heads (signaling I'm insane). Even if people think we're crazy or stupid, it doesn't matter. It's okay. All that matters is that the Lord and Mary love us.
So I forgave them. Then, the officer told us that some expenses were to be incurred. I said, “We’ll cover it. We’re going to forgive these kids. So please forgive them.”
We paid the money, and I hugged them, saying, “I am sorry. It is my fault. Let us not do such a thing again but live a good life.” I took them out with me. The following day, the mother of one of those kids came to our house and said, "Oh, thank you for forgiving my son." I asked, "How did you find out about it?" She replied, "My son told me everything."
Then, the Blessed Mother began to shed Tears in 1985. It was around that time the mother visited my beauty parlor. At first, I didn’t recognize her. I was in the middle of hairdressing when I heard someone say, “It’s no surprise that the Blessed Mother chose this place to shed Her Tears, considering the owner of this parlor has such a beautiful heart.” I wondered, “Who is saying so?” Eventually, I realized she was the mother of the kid.
I did not ask her how her son was doing because I felt sorry to ask such a question. However, she herself started to tell me. "Oh after you forgave my son, he made a firm resolution and went to Seoul. He is working hard in a factory. He even was baptized. Our whole family was baptized too.”
Now, dear ones, let us realize that when we forgive someone, God’s love will be transmitted not only to that person, but also to those around them through a chain reaction more powerful than a nuclear reaction. Let us remember it. In order to fully enjoy joy, love and peace throughout the rest of our lives, let us arm ourselves with the Five Spiritualities, wear the armor of the Five Spiritualities and practice them so that we can meet each other in Heaven on the last day. Amen!
We do not know when God will take us. We can be taken all of a sudden. However, if we live by following straight Jesus and the Blessed Mother while practicing the Five Spiritualities, even if we are suddenly visited by an imminent crisis that we cannot do anything about it, God will surely rescue us and sustain us as a person that never becomes shaken regardless of the difficulty. And we will be promised eternal happiness in Heaven on the last day. Let us all walk on this path.
Countless cancer patients have been healed here. A lot of divorced couples who hated each other as enemies have reconciled and got together again.
But after the negative declaration of the Gwangju Archdiocese was issued, many people turned away. When “PD Notebook” broadcasted a slanderous program on Naju in collusion with the Gwangju Archdiocese, by spreading a false rumor that Naju Miraculous Water was contaminated with germs, a person who had been healed of cancer in Naju believed the falsehood and threw out their large bottle of Naju Miraculous Water by breaking it and spilling the Water. It would be the same as making himself deserve hell.
Jesus and the Blessed Mother said, "Do not play the role of Judas or Cain."
Peter denied Jesus as many as three times before the rooster crowed. Peter did not only say, “I don’t know Him,” but went so far as to say, “Even if I incur God’s punishment, I do not know him.” However, as soon as the rooster crowed, he repented and asked Jesus for forgiveness. Therefore, although Peter denied Jesus three times, he gained salvation. We can also make such bad mistakes in our lives.
Later on, there was a time when Peter was reluctant to carry his cross. Peter was fleeing, when Jesus appeared to him, shedding Blood. "I am shedding Blood because of you." Peter repented again. When he himself died on the cross, he chose to be crucified upside down. All these things have been given as examples, so we should meditate on the Bible well and handle things wisely.
Mary Magdalene was a prostitute who could not help but be stoned to death, as you all know. Everyone pointed fingers at her. They said she should be killed. At that time, Jesus said, “Let the one among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” Everyone went away without throwing a stone.Mary Magdalene soaked Jesus’ feet with her tears and repented. She wiped them off with her hair. And finally she poured out fragrant oil on Him. What did Judas say then? "It could have been sold for much." Jesus replied, "You did not give me even water for my feet, but this woman has poured oil on me for my burial."
In the past, prostitutes had been stoned to death. But even though Mary Magdalene was such a great sinner, when she repented, she was forgiven by Jesus. And she never did such a thing again.
Who did Jesus love the most? He loved Mary Magdalene the most. Even after His death, He appeared to Mary Magdalene first. So no matter how much we have sinned, do not worry. We can start anew from now on. Amen! Okay? Yes.
I am a truly unworthy sinner. In Naju up until now, the dead have been raised, the dying have come back to life, the blind have received their sight, the mute have spoken, and the crippled have stood up.
But I have not done any of these things. Jesus has used me as an instrument for a short while, so they could return to life, opening their eyes, heard, spoke, and stood up.
Many people say to me, “Thank you.” Then I say, “Please don’t thank me. The only one who deserves thanks is Jesus. I was just an instrument that was used for a short while, so thank Jesus.”
Dear all, you must have experienced various pains until now, but think like this, “Ah, Jesus must have allowed me these sufferings because He loves me.” I think there were times when you were falsely accused. You might have lent money and never received it back. I also went through all of those things.
I was not cursed for not paying back the debt I borrowed, but rather when my husband acted as a guarantor, I repaid the debts entirely. I even paid off all the debts guaranteed by my father-in-law and mother-in-law. But do you know what my-in-law said to me? Even though I repaid all their debts without knowing they had stood as guarantors, the arrows came at me.
One day, while I was doing a customer’s hair, sister- in-law called and cursed at me for an hour. She said things like, “Did you guarantee in order to see my younger sister go bankrupt?!” (*Though the debt guaranteed by Julia’s husband had been completely paid by her.) And I replied “My apologies.” She gave all sorts of offensive remarks. Her family members took turns calling and kept swearing at me, making it impossible for me to serve my customers.
But I practiced Semchigo as if I received love from them. Semchigo is that beneficial. If we practice Semchigo as if we are loved, then we are loved.
Even if we are not loved by humans, we are being loved by God the Father, Jesus, and the Blessed Mother. Now, in the midst of whatever pain, dear all, if we practice “Semchigo” as if receiving the love of Jesus and the Blessed Mother, and offer it up graciously, and also offer up with “It’s My Fault,” and if we arm ourselves with the Five Spiritualities and practice them, then the devils will definitely fall and retreat.
We do not need to kick the devils to defeat them, because if we practice the Five Spiritualities, the devils will naturally be defeated. Amen! Thank you!
(Mama Julia’s spiritual song)
God is love. Our Lord Jesus is also love. The path of humility following the Blessed Mother is complete love. Brothers and sisters, let us love one another. Let us love each other. Following the commandments of the Lord of love, let us exert the power of love. Amen. Thank you.
Dear all, I will pray for you every day. I will continue praying for you, keeping you in my sight and my heart. Please pray for me also, as I am unworthy. Thank you. I love you. I love you with all my heart. I love you so much. I love you with all my life. I love you.
I will send Our Lady’s kiss of love and blow Jesus’ breath of the Holy Spirit on behalf of Them. No, not on behalf of them, but Jesus and the Blessed Mother will do it for you personally. But because you cannot see Them visibly, I just do it for you to see it. Amen! (72 times of Jesus’ Breaths of the Holy Spirit & Mother Mary’s Kisses of Love)
Before the negative declaration was issued, I had been invited to many foreign countries. I had also been invited to many places in Korea several times a month. I had not been able to visit every place that I was invited to, but every place that I did visit was packed up to the hallway.
There was one couple, both severely ill, and they couldn’t possibly decide to attend the prayer meeting. But thinking, “Since Julia Kim came, we have to participate,” but still, they could not possibly make it.
But thinking, “We need to go there,” they finally came. As the hallway was packed, even the second floor was full. They said, “We better go back home,” but they didn’t want to. So they somehow managed to squeeze in, though it was packed inside.
Then they witnessed the following phenomenon: when I said, “I love you,” the mouth of the Blessed Mother’s statue moved too, saying, “I love you.” And when I said, “Let’s repent,” Her mouth moved again, saying, “Let’s repent.” That day both the husband and wife received healings.
The same phenomena repeated several times during my visit to the US. The same thing also happened in the Philippines.
Also, I blew my breath. A man with a heart disease was sitting far in the back, wearing thick clothes. When I blew my breath “Hoo~”, the scent of roses penetrated his heart, healing his heart. He testified that he could smell the fragrance of roses even a few days afterward.
One day, I was supposed to meet a nun from Jeonju. Then, a priest notified us that he would visit Naju on the same day.
Before then, he had reproved me for the way I was dressed. At that time, I was not wearing the same clothes like now. I was wearing simple clothes that my daughter bought me.
But he told me, “Where did you get so much money to wear such nice clothes?” That day, there was an exercise machine set in my house. Nowadays such a machine is not available. It had a barbell, a treadmill, an exercise bike, and all sorts of exercise equipment. Someone did not use it and gave me for free.
But I was afraid if he saw it, he would misunderstand that I bought such an expensive thing. So I decided to move it out of the house. When two female volunteers and I lifted it together, the big barbell fell on my head. Upon being hit, I bled profusely and died from cerebral hemorrhage. The two volunteers froze out of fear to the extent they suffered difficulty in breathing.
My mother came and shouted, “Oh my! What is going on?” On this day also, Jesus saved me. My condition was that I had to be rushed to a hospital, but I couldn’t go. I just wiped off the blood and went to the Chapel since I had a prior arrangement with the nun. But I found that she had already left.
However, the next day, I received a call from the nun. She wanted to meet me because of her knee problem which needed surgery, which I did not know about. She had come to Naju to ask for my prayers so that she could avoid the surgery, but we didn’t get to meet. She, however, did not complain, “She promised to meet me, but she broke her promise.” Dear all, offering up is important.
While thinking, “Oh, Julia promised to meet me today, but she must be very busy now, and that’s why she can’t be here.” she offered it up this way and was about to leave, the Fragrance of roses reached her, penetrating her painful knee. At that moment, her knee was completely healed. You would also have a similar experience of the Fragrance of roses penetrating your body parts. Then, you will receive healing.
This left part has been in severe pain for the past few days as if I were being poked by an awl or a needle every two seconds. I have continued to offer it up for all of you.
Including those who have brain disease, even though my left side is hurting, it does not mean that those with a head disease on the right side will not get healed. When I went to Washington in the US, I was walking up the stairs with sister Rose, and my right knee began to hurt a lot to the point where I screamed "Ah!" Then she said, "Oh, my knee getting better!"
She then wondered, “Uh, it’s my left knee which hurts, but your right knee is hurting.” I said, “Do not worry. I suffer pain as a victim soul. Regardless of whether it’s the left or the right knee that hurts, you have only to say Amen.” Then she responded with Amen, and at that moment, she was healed instantly. It never came back to her. Now, let’s all receive healing in soul and body by the Lord and Blessed Mother. Amen! Thank you. I love you.
Mama Julia's Inspiring Spiritual Message during the Special Night for International Pilgrims, July 2, 2023
A Chain Reaction More Powerful than a Nuclear Reaction!
Praise be to Jesus! Praise be to the Blessed Mother!
Dear Archbishops, Bishop, Fathers, and all who have come from afar, I am delighted to meet you!
There might have been numerous attacks from the devil until your arrival here. Where graces abound, so do many devils.
Just as high protein causes more foul smell when it decomposes, there always seem to be more devils of division filling the sky and the earth in places filled with grace, attempting to topple us.
Now you find yourself in a place where innumerable miracles have been unfolding – miracles that even the prophets of the old times yearned to witness but did not witness and yearned to hear but did not hear.
Regardless of what the people of the world say, you are here to follow the Lord and Blessed Mother, both of whom have appeared and are currently present in Naju. I listened to the priest’s testimony a little earlier. He is right. The final judge is not the Pope, bishops, or priests, but Jesus, Who was crucified and died on the Cross, God.
If we engage in discussions using human logic and contemplate matters in human terms, we cannot go to Heaven. We should imitate Jesus like a simple child. We should follow the Lord and Blessed Mother, by clearly realizing the simple truth, jeo-gu-chim-ju (積羽沈舟).
Jeo-gu-chim-ju (積羽沈舟) is the truth that even light feathers accumulated together in large numbers can sink a boat.
As I mentioned yesterday, I was born into a prosperous family and lived a joyful life. However, our family shattered completely when I was only four years old due to the outbreak of the Korean War.
I have died and been revived more than 30 times so far. This kind of experience began when I first died at the age of five, and again at six.
I think the Lord has revived me from death not because I lived a good life, but because since I was little, I have lived out a life with the Five Spiritualities in a simple manner, practicing Semchigo without harboring any grudges, though I did not necessarily know that I was doing it.
Undoubtedly, all of you must have had numerous experiences throughout your lives, too. The more God loves us, the more hardships follow us. Some people claim, “God loves me, so He has shielded me from any suffering,” but this assertion is not true.
Despite my unworthiness and inadequacy, I’ve faced sufferings and had many people trying to kill me since I was young. However, I never held a grudge against anyone. Instead, I navigated each situation practicing Semchigo as if I were loved. But I’m also not saying that I’ve always excelled in living perfectly.
God (the Father) and Jesus allowed for me to undergo numerous hardships since my early days. They placed me in the furnace of sufferings for me to be trained. They might have been testing me, thinking, “Let Me see how you will navigate through these adversities.”
They might have also subjected you to tests, especially our Archbishops, Bishop, and Fathers present here.
Whatever pain we may suffer, we should offer it up graciously. People who haven’t heard of Naju might not know about “the Five Spiritualities.” Many people might know about making aspirations, but “the Prayers of Life” is fundamentally different from making aspirations.
As I mentioned yesterday, even though the Prayers of Life might seem insignificant and trivial, it holds great value for prayer. Jesus teaches us that the Prayers of Life are powerful prayers, which can fill again and again the abyss that lies between Jesus’ Greatness and our nothingness. When we’re preoccupied, the Prayers of Life can be overlooked. If we’re not completely alert, we could let them pass by.
However, if we are reminded in the moment, “Oh! I didn’t turn this into a prayer!” then we can offer it up then. How numerous are our opportunities? As long as we remain vigilant, we can offer up countless prayers limitlessly.

Also, not one of the Five Spiritualities can be separated from another. All the prayers in the Five Spiritualities are inseparable.
It is not “you are you” and “I am I.” We are all one. Jesus wants all of us to become one. Let us imagine someone making a mistake. If another person reproaches them by saying, “Why are you like that?” they might respond, “Why are you being like this to me?” If they end up fighting and shouting “Hey hey!” at each other in tears, it would be like driving large nails into the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, piercing arrows into Their Hearts, and shattering Them into pieces.
Instead of saying “Hey! Why are you like that to me?” if we say, “Oh, did I do something wrong?” it can make the other person feel sorry. Then that person might answer, "No, there's no need to apologize. I had some hard feelings on you so far, so I acted that way. I'm sorry." Then how pleased would the Lord and the Blessed Mother be if you said this? Okay? Amen.
Even if someone were to strike you and attempt to cast you into an abyss through false accusations, when you pray for that person, fully placing your trust in the Lord, both the Lord and Blessed Mother will make sure that you do not fall into a bottomless pit. Instead, They will definitely grasp your hands and rescue you. As a result, you will bear abundant fruits on the Tree of Eternal Life.
In the past, I ran a joint (academic) business with two men. Both of them had affections for me. When I told them I would leave the academy, one of them penned a lengthy letter to me, stating, “Miss Yoon, we were really sorry. That won’t happen again. We could never run this academy without you.” As they promised not to do it again, I returned to the academy. However, after a few days, they reverted back to their previous behavior.
Then, in order to leave the academy, I had no other choice but to tell them like this, “I need to move to another town for my upcoming marriage, so I cannot continue with the academy.” And so, they assured me that they would refund my money on a specific date. On that day, however, I found only an accounting clerk there. She asked me to wait a moment, so I sat there waiting.
Then, out of nowhere, two women emerged. They flipped me over onto the cold cement floor and positioned themselves on top of me. At that time, I weighed 54kg, and my waist measured 23 inches—how petite I was! With a height of 162cm, I was slender.
Yet, on top of me were those two robust women. One gripped my hair, slamming my forehead against the cement floor. I bled profusely, and was rendered speechless. One of them yanked my hair and a significant amount of it came out. The other woman was on my other side, and started hurting my legs by biting and twisting.
And then, standing over me, they grasped me from both sides, and repeatedly slammed my head against a large iron machine, shouting, “Ready, get set, go!” At that moment, I died. Yet the Lord revived me.
I did not think, “Ah, why are they doing this to me?” Instead I forgave them, never harboring hatred, though I had not known of the Lord at that time. One of the men conspired within his family to avoid giving me a refund. I offered it up with Semchigo as if I were loved.
I endured their assault till the very end, all the while calling out to my father. “Father, what should I do? Mother has lived by counting on me alone. What will become of her if I were to die? Father, I implore you for help.” At that moment, I was dying. But Jesus appeared, reviving me with His voice.
On another occasion, I passed away and even defecated. However, He revived me by patting me with the force of His large hand. There was also a time when He revived me by saying to me, “Rise.”
In that situation, if I had reacted like this, “You! Why are you hitting me?” the Lord might not have saved me. This happened when I still did not know of God. But we know of God, right? No matter what situation we encounter from now on, instead of saying “Why are you like this?” we should say, “I’m sorry, I will improve. Jesus, please forgive me.” This is the path we should choose.
We should be united with Jesus and Mary, irrespective of what others might say—even if they label us as foolish. Then, we can go to Heaven on the last day. Even though people in this world label us as fools, it does not matter.
There was another time when I had no money as I was supporting my mother-in-law. In the third month of my pregnancy, my husband was assigned to be the director of the Yeongam branch. Then we went to Yeongam to rent a room to live in.
After that, when we got on the bus in the bus terminal, I heard someone shout, “A woman like that, a wretched prostitute, deserves to die!” At first I thought, “There must be a prostitute here.”
But on the bus steps, I heard those words again from very close behind me. I felt worried, so I looked back and understood that those words were meant for me.
So I said, “Excuse me? I have a husband. You don’t want to say that. You don’t even know me.” Suddenly, he seized my collar mercilessly, flinging me to the ground.
Then he started kicking and striking me. As he kicked my belly, it caused a miscarriage.
My husband protected only this body part by repeating, "She's my wife. She's my wife." Meanwhile, the young man continued to assault me.
My sister-in-law was there too, so my husband hurried to the police station, only entrusting me to her care. But then the man started pulling me towards the bathroom, grabbing my throat and shouting, “I'm going to thrust you into the toilet.” Initially, I feared he might force me into a squat toilet. So in order not to be taken there, I resisted him though I was pregnant.
His leather jacket was torn due to my resistance, and my clothes were also ripped as he tried to drag me. However, I never thought, “Why is this man doing this to me?” It was my fault. Seeing this heart, the Lord must have given me the strength.
If I had been an unattractive, overweight middle-aged woman, he might not have acted that way. I thought to myself, “Yes, I am not unattractive, and I am slender. It's entirely my fault.”
In the end, I managed to prevent him from taking me into the bathroom ; instead, I pulled him away from there. Later, I learned that he saw me as a home wrecker seducing a married man, and he intended to sexually assault me in the bathroom.
At that moment, my husband and policemen arrived, and we headed to the police station where our marriage’s legal status was confirmed. Both my husband and I had ID cards.
Then the young man said, “Sister, please forgive me!” He explained he had a 19-year-old younger sister, and since I looked nineteen and Julio looked older, he thought I was a girl who followed married men around. So he intended to kill me.
He began to plead, “Sister, please forgive me.
I believed you were an unmarried girl having an affair with a married man.” He wanted to punish me because I reminded him of his sister.
At that time, I was not baptized yet, but I knew God. He knelt down and sought my forgiveness. So I responded without hesitation, “In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, I forgive your sins.” In those days, we said Holy Ghost instead of Holy Spirit.
The police officer beside me seemed to think, “That husband must be a fool living with such a woman.”
Even though they did, how does it matter? Jesus and the Blessed Mother’s love for us is sufficient. What does it matter to seek recognition and love from humans?
While it is certainly important to love and to be loved, I sincerely believed the fault was mine in this case, and the man had already asked for my forgiveness. So I responded, “In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, I forgive your sins." At that time, I was already having a miscarriage, and blood was flowing continuously.
What benefit would I have gained if I hadn’t forgiven him and sent him to jail instead? Even if I had received compensation for the miscarriage, of what use would the money have been? I offered it up completely.
Then while we were at the police station, it was getting late into the night. Nowadays, women can buy pads anytime. In the past, this wasn’t available. Stores were already closed. So, I went to the bathroom, removed my underwear, and used it to cover my private area.
Because of his merciless kicks and stomping on my belly, I suffered a miscarriage and bled profusely. But I whispered, “I’m sorry, my baby. We wouldn't have faced this ordeal if I had looked more unattractive, fatter, and older. This terrible incident happened to you because I am your mother. I’m sorry." That’s how I offered it up.
Then after we moved to Yeongam, one day we went to the bus terminal to go to my in-law’s house in Gwangju. Then someone came out running and shouted, “Sister! Brother!” Julio said, “No one would call me brother here.” I said, “No one also would call me sister here.” Then we found it was the guy.
He had been a gangster, but to our surprise, he left the gang and was transformed into a completely new person. This is the love of Jesus.
So, whatever may happen to us, if we graciously offer up everything to the Lord and Blessed Mother, it's not just you, and it's not just the other person, but even those who follow that person can become new people. So, let's live like that.
As another example, one day our motorbike disappeared. When I was running a beauty parlor, my husband always came to take me home on his motorbike after work. When we were about to go home, we found out that it had disappeared. It belonged to Julio’s office.
So we searched everywhere for it but to no avail. Then I immediately offered it up. Offering up is important. Please do not say, “What bastard took it?” If we say it this way, the merits that we’ve arduously accumulated will collapse.
So I thought, “It’s our fault, because we parked it there.” I was considering the purchase of a new one.
But the next day, I received a call from the police station. “Did you happen to lose a green motorbike?” I replied we did. It was lost in Naju, but found in near Gwangju. “Then, come here quickly.” When we arrived, we knew that it was ours and that those who stole it had removed the lock to hot-wire it.
They were considered bad kids, and troubled youth. They went to a junk shop to sell it, telling the owner "My brother gave me the motorcycle to use for pocket money." Then he became suspicious of them and contacted the police.
Julio and I had already offered it up from the beginning, regarding it as our fault. Then, although we did not work hard to get it back, Jesus personally found it for us. When we went to see, we found that it was our motorbike and the children were sitting down. They hadn’t eaten anything since they were caught the previous day.
So I thought, "Oh my, how hungry they must be! I am going to at least buy them some bread and milk." But there was no supermarket nearby, so I went a distance away and bought a large castella cake and a big bottle of milk.
Then I said, “Dear ones, try this. You must be really hungry.” But they didn’t take it, only keeping their heads down. I asked, “Don't you want to eat it?” They said, “Yes!” probably worried that I wouldn’t actually give it to them. At that time the police officers said, “They are handcuffed behind.” Then I saw them handcuffed to the chair like this.
So I personally fed them with the bread and milk, saying, “Chew it well so you won’t have an upset stomach.” I reassured them, “I’m sorry, this is not just your fault, it’s all of our fault. It’s my fault of parking it there, and considering your living conditions, I can understand that you needed money for your expenses, leading you to take the motorcycle. Don’t worry, just enjoy the food.”
Then I saw the police officers twirling their fingers next to their heads (signaling I'm insane). Even if people think we're crazy or stupid, it doesn't matter. It's okay. All that matters is that the Lord and Mary love us.
So I forgave them. Then, the officer told us that some expenses were to be incurred. I said, “We’ll cover it. We’re going to forgive these kids. So please forgive them.”
We paid the money, and I hugged them, saying, “I am sorry. It is my fault. Let us not do such a thing again but live a good life.” I took them out with me. The following day, the mother of one of those kids came to our house and said, "Oh, thank you for forgiving my son." I asked, "How did you find out about it?" She replied, "My son told me everything."
Then, the Blessed Mother began to shed Tears in 1985. It was around that time the mother visited my beauty parlor. At first, I didn’t recognize her. I was in the middle of hairdressing when I heard someone say, “It’s no surprise that the Blessed Mother chose this place to shed Her Tears, considering the owner of this parlor has such a beautiful heart.” I wondered, “Who is saying so?” Eventually, I realized she was the mother of the kid.
I did not ask her how her son was doing because I felt sorry to ask such a question. However, she herself started to tell me. "Oh after you forgave my son, he made a firm resolution and went to Seoul. He is working hard in a factory. He even was baptized. Our whole family was baptized too.”
Now, dear ones, let us realize that when we forgive someone, God’s love will be transmitted not only to that person, but also to those around them through a chain reaction more powerful than a nuclear reaction. Let us remember it. In order to fully enjoy joy, love and peace throughout the rest of our lives, let us arm ourselves with the Five Spiritualities, wear the armor of the Five Spiritualities and practice them so that we can meet each other in Heaven on the last day. Amen!
We do not know when God will take us. We can be taken all of a sudden. However, if we live by following straight Jesus and the Blessed Mother while practicing the Five Spiritualities, even if we are suddenly visited by an imminent crisis that we cannot do anything about it, God will surely rescue us and sustain us as a person that never becomes shaken regardless of the difficulty. And we will be promised eternal happiness in Heaven on the last day. Let us all walk on this path.Countless cancer patients have been healed here. A lot of divorced couples who hated each other as enemies have reconciled and got together again.
But after the negative declaration of the Gwangju Archdiocese was issued, many people turned away. When “PD Notebook” broadcasted a slanderous program on Naju in collusion with the Gwangju Archdiocese, by spreading a false rumor that Naju Miraculous Water was contaminated with germs, a person who had been healed of cancer in Naju believed the falsehood and threw out their large bottle of Naju Miraculous Water by breaking it and spilling the Water. It would be the same as making himself deserve hell.
Jesus and the Blessed Mother said, "Do not play the role of Judas or Cain."
Peter denied Jesus as many as three times before the rooster crowed. Peter did not only say, “I don’t know Him,” but went so far as to say, “Even if I incur God’s punishment, I do not know him.” However, as soon as the rooster crowed, he repented and asked Jesus for forgiveness. Therefore, although Peter denied Jesus three times, he gained salvation. We can also make such bad mistakes in our lives.
Later on, there was a time when Peter was reluctant to carry his cross. Peter was fleeing, when Jesus appeared to him, shedding Blood. "I am shedding Blood because of you." Peter repented again. When he himself died on the cross, he chose to be crucified upside down. All these things have been given as examples, so we should meditate on the Bible well and handle things wisely.
Mary Magdalene was a prostitute who could not help but be stoned to death, as you all know. Everyone pointed fingers at her. They said she should be killed. At that time, Jesus said, “Let the one among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” Everyone went away without throwing a stone.Mary Magdalene soaked Jesus’ feet with her tears and repented. She wiped them off with her hair. And finally she poured out fragrant oil on Him. What did Judas say then? "It could have been sold for much." Jesus replied, "You did not give me even water for my feet, but this woman has poured oil on me for my burial."
In the past, prostitutes had been stoned to death. But even though Mary Magdalene was such a great sinner, when she repented, she was forgiven by Jesus. And she never did such a thing again.
Who did Jesus love the most? He loved Mary Magdalene the most. Even after His death, He appeared to Mary Magdalene first. So no matter how much we have sinned, do not worry. We can start anew from now on. Amen! Okay? Yes.
I am a truly unworthy sinner. In Naju up until now, the dead have been raised, the dying have come back to life, the blind have received their sight, the mute have spoken, and the crippled have stood up.
But I have not done any of these things. Jesus has used me as an instrument for a short while, so they could return to life, opening their eyes, heard, spoke, and stood up.
Many people say to me, “Thank you.” Then I say, “Please don’t thank me. The only one who deserves thanks is Jesus. I was just an instrument that was used for a short while, so thank Jesus.”
Dear all, you must have experienced various pains until now, but think like this, “Ah, Jesus must have allowed me these sufferings because He loves me.” I think there were times when you were falsely accused. You might have lent money and never received it back. I also went through all of those things.
I was not cursed for not paying back the debt I borrowed, but rather when my husband acted as a guarantor, I repaid the debts entirely. I even paid off all the debts guaranteed by my father-in-law and mother-in-law. But do you know what my-in-law said to me? Even though I repaid all their debts without knowing they had stood as guarantors, the arrows came at me.
One day, while I was doing a customer’s hair, sister- in-law called and cursed at me for an hour. She said things like, “Did you guarantee in order to see my younger sister go bankrupt?!” (*Though the debt guaranteed by Julia’s husband had been completely paid by her.) And I replied “My apologies.”
She gave all sorts of offensive remarks. Her family members took turns calling and kept swearing at me, making it impossible for me to serve my customers.
But I practiced Semchigo as if I received love from them. Semchigo is that beneficial. If we practice Semchigo as if we are loved, then we are loved.
Even if we are not loved by humans, we are being loved by God the Father, Jesus, and the Blessed Mother. Now, in the midst of whatever pain, dear all, if we practice “Semchigo” as if receiving the love of Jesus and the Blessed Mother, and offer it up graciously, and also offer up with “It’s My Fault,” and if we arm ourselves with the Five Spiritualities and practice them, then the devils will definitely fall and retreat.
We do not need to kick the devils to defeat them, because if we practice the Five Spiritualities, the devils will naturally be defeated. Amen! Thank you!
(Mama Julia’s spiritual song)
God is love. Our Lord Jesus is also love.
The path of humility following the Blessed Mother is complete love.
Brothers and sisters, let us love one another. Let us love each other.
Following the commandments of the Lord of love, let us exert the power of love.
Amen. Thank you.
Dear all, I will pray for you every day. I will continue praying for you, keeping you in my sight and my heart. Please pray for me also, as I am unworthy. Thank you. I love you. I love you with all my heart. I love you so much. I love you with all my life. I love you.
I will send Our Lady’s kiss of love and blow Jesus’ breath of the Holy Spirit on behalf of Them. No, not on behalf of them, but Jesus and the Blessed Mother will do it for you personally. But because you cannot see Them visibly, I just do it for you to see it. Amen!
(72 times of Jesus’ Breaths of the Holy Spirit & Mother Mary’s Kisses of Love)
Before the negative declaration was issued, I had been invited to many foreign countries. I had also been invited to many places in Korea several times a month. I had not been able to visit every place that I was invited to, but every place that I did visit was packed up to the hallway.
There was one couple, both severely ill, and they couldn’t possibly decide to attend the prayer meeting. But thinking, “Since Julia Kim came, we have to participate,” but still, they could not possibly make it.
But thinking, “We need to go there,” they finally came. As the hallway was packed, even the second floor was full. They said, “We better go back home,” but they didn’t want to. So they somehow managed to squeeze in, though it was packed inside.
Then they witnessed the following phenomenon: when I said, “I love you,” the mouth of the Blessed Mother’s statue moved too, saying, “I love you.” And when I said, “Let’s repent,” Her mouth moved again, saying, “Let’s repent.” That day both the husband and wife received healings.
The same phenomena repeated several times during my visit to the US. The same thing also happened in the Philippines.
Also, I blew my breath. A man with a heart disease was sitting far in the back, wearing thick clothes. When I blew my breath “Hoo~”, the scent of roses penetrated his heart, healing his heart. He testified that he could smell the fragrance of roses even a few days afterward.
One day, I was supposed to meet a nun from Jeonju. Then, a priest notified us that he would visit Naju on the same day.
Before then, he had reproved me for the way I was dressed. At that time, I was not wearing the same clothes like now. I was wearing simple clothes that my daughter bought me.
But he told me, “Where did you get so much money to wear such nice clothes?” That day, there was an exercise machine set in my house. Nowadays such a machine is not available. It had a barbell, a treadmill, an exercise bike, and all sorts of exercise equipment. Someone did not use it and gave me for free.
But I was afraid if he saw it, he would misunderstand that I bought such an expensive thing. So I decided to move it out of the house. When two female volunteers and I lifted it together, the big barbell fell on my head. Upon being hit, I bled profusely and died from cerebral hemorrhage. The two volunteers froze out of fear to the extent they suffered difficulty in breathing.
My mother came and shouted, “Oh my! What is going on?” On this day also, Jesus saved me. My condition was that I had to be rushed to a hospital, but I couldn’t go. I just wiped off the blood and went to the Chapel since I had a prior arrangement with the nun. But I found that she had already left.
However, the next day, I received a call from the nun. She wanted to meet me because of her knee problem which needed surgery, which I did not know about. She had come to Naju to ask for my prayers so that she could avoid the surgery, but we didn’t get to meet. She, however, did not complain, “She promised to meet me, but she broke her promise.” Dear all, offering up is important.
While thinking, “Oh, Julia promised to meet me today, but she must be very busy now, and that’s why she can’t be here.” she offered it up this way and was about to leave, the Fragrance of roses reached her, penetrating her painful knee. At that moment, her knee was completely healed. You would also have a similar experience of the Fragrance of roses penetrating your body parts. Then, you will receive healing.
This left part has been in severe pain for the past few days as if I were being poked by an awl or a needle every two seconds. I have continued to offer it up for all of you.
Including those who have brain disease, even though my left side is hurting, it does not mean that those with a head disease on the right side will not get healed. When I went to Washington in the US, I was walking up the stairs with sister Rose, and my right knee began to hurt a lot to the point where I screamed "Ah!" Then she said, "Oh, my knee getting better!"
She then wondered, “Uh, it’s my left knee which hurts, but your right knee is hurting.” I said, “Do not worry. I suffer pain as a victim soul. Regardless of whether it’s the left or the right knee that hurts, you have only to say Amen.” Then she responded with Amen, and at that moment, she was healed instantly. It never came back to her. Now, let’s all receive healing in soul and body by the Lord and Blessed Mother. Amen! Thank you. I love you.
