💗💌 News of the Prayer Meeting at Naju Shrine on the First Saturday of June 2026 🙏🏻💗🌹

Dear family of Mary's Ark of Salvation, we've welcomed June, the Holy Month of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Wishing you joy and peace in His love, we deliver the news of the first Saturday prayer meeting in June.

At 2 o'clock, we began praying the Stations of the Cross. Knowing that our prayers along this path, where the Lord and the Blessed Mother accompany us while shedding Blood, would console Their Hearts, we prayed with deeper devotion and greater fervor.

Reflecting on how the Little Soul offers up sufferings between life and death each day in reparation for a world thrown into turmoil by wars and countless tragedies, we prayed that all of us who follow Our Lady of Naju would repent and become humble little souls.

After dinner, we washed the dirt of soul and body, and stood in a long line in front of the confessional to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation from priests to purify our souls cleanly.

At 6 o'clock, as the Blessed Mother's statue entered, we said the opening prayer and affectionately offered candles and flowers to her. Next, we offered a prayer of consecration offering ourselves and everything we've to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

"We offer our bodies and hearts, so let everything inside us and around us become yours, and share only a share of your love with us."

At 6:30, there was the Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. The Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament that we received gathering together at the Blessed Mother's Mountain felt solemn and even dignified.

"Praised be God. May God be praised and glorified through the Mary's Ark of Salvation family as they strive to live humble lives by practicing the Five Spiritualities."

At 7:10, we watched the video of Mama Julia's talk titled "Naju on the Path of Truth Through Authentic Catholicism!" She opened her talk by encouraging us to immerse ourselves in the love of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. She shared that because of her deep love for the Sacred Heart of Jesus, she came to treat every person as if they were the Lord or the Blessed Mother. 

Even if we hear unfair things, let's follow the Lord and the Blessed Mother with the spirit of martyrdom. We should practice the Five Spiritualities and offer up our entire lives by turning them into prayers to attain Heaven. Let's not judge other people under any circumstances. Going to Heaven isn't just about attending Mass or praying; many people go to hell due to sins committed with the mouth.

On the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ in 1988, Mama Julia attended Mass with great difficulty through the Lord’s help, even though she was suffering such excruciating pain that had been in bed for several days, not even able to go to the bathroom and seemed unable to participate at all. The Eucharist she received was transformed into visible Flesh and Blood.

Through repentance, we can pull out the nails and thorns driven into Jesus. As followers of authentic Catholicism, let us not take even a single step along a path that is not the truth. Let us not judge, not criticize, govern our mouths in a holy way, and continually praise the Lord and the Blessed Mother. Mama Julia delivered all these words through visions, miraculous healings, messages, and actual experiences.

At 8 o'clock, we had a time of grace sharing.

I began making pilgrimages to Naju in 1999. During a moment of heartfelt repentance, I was suddenly enveloped by a strong fragrance of roses. Witnessing in Naju the same kinds of extraordinary signs and graces that have accompanied the lives of many saints, I became convinced that Naju is firmly rooted in authentic Catholic tradition. From that time on, my husband and our entire family began making pilgrimages together.

Later, when my son was in middle school, he was involved in a serious traffic accident. He was thrown into the air by the impact and fell back to the ground, yet by God’s grace he was completely unharmed. Through this experience, I came to place my complete trust in Our Lady of Naju’s promise that she would rescue her children even in the most imminent and desperate danger, when help seems impossible.

My father had been suffering from alcohol-related dementia, but after making pilgrimages to Naju, his condition improved remarkably. He later received Baptism in the Catholic Church and was given the baptismal name John.

When I repented during a Five Spiritualities online retreat that everything was my fault, my strained relationship with my daughter was healed, making me realize the Five Spiritualities is the only way to live. While working as a singing instructor, sharing the Spirituality of Semchigo made the atmosphere much brighter. 

On one occasion, due to unavoidable circumstances, I left the prayer meeting without having an encounter with Mama Julia. On my way home, I was involved in a traffic accident. As I reflected on what had happened, I came to realize more deeply the importance of meeting Mama Julia. At the very moment I recognized how precious that encounter was, the neck and back pain I had suffered from the accident, along with a long-standing postpartum illness, were healed. 

After offering my children's university admissions intentions at the Naju Mass, both my daughter and son were accepted into the universities they had hoped to attend. Through this grace, I came to realize more deeply the blessings flowing from the Naju Mass.

Although my doctor advised me to stay home and rest because my condition was so serious that I could die at any time, I was unable to give up my work. However, as I continued my pilgrimage to Naju, my painful ears and everything improved, and I became healthier by offering up alcohol. I think living out the Five Spiritualities is living Heaven every single day.

After testifying last January about quitting alcohol and my children being healed of panic disorder and drinking habits through Naju's graces, I realized the importance of testifying as everything changed positively. Through family conversations, I felt inner healing took place, breaking down the wall with my eldest and receiving a sweet text with pocket money from my youngest.

During the Five Spiritualities online retreat, I received a heavy delivery order to the 10th floor with a fee of only 3,000 Won. I wanted to refuse but accepted it with a heart to carry Jesus' cross together, practicing the Spirituality of Semchigo. Surprisingly, the customer came down to receive the items, making me realize that when we offer up difficulties through the Five Spiritualities, the Lord and the Blessed Mother help us.

Also, I suffered from heart failure 3 years ago where I gasped for breath even after walking a little, but I was healed through Naju's miraculous water and Mama Julia's prayers, so I do difficult work easily now.

<Veronica Jang from Gwangju>

I suffered from lethargy since age 35, and even shamanic rituals didn't help. After seeing a fortune teller cross themselves, I removed all amulets, received baptism, and felt something leave my body, but I fell back into lethargy after becoming lukewarm in faith. Following advice, I came to Naju, and as I practiced the Five Spiritualities, spiritual changes occurred. My younger daughter's personality became gentle with the scent of roses, and my eldest daughter and husband received baptism, becoming a holy family. I also repented that everything was my fault regarding my husband, and my severe headache was healed.

My full-body hives that didn't respond to medicine were completely cured after applying Naju miraculous water. I also helped my mother-in-law repent and pass away peacefully after resolving all past conflicts. My husband, who suffered from thyroid issues and severe frozen shoulder, was healed through Mama Julia's kiss during a vigil prayer meeting, bringing peace to our sick family. In addition, my eldest daughter, whose kidneys were full of stones, was completely healed.

When we heard my father-in-law was critical, the car was filled with the scent of roses. I helped him confess his faith and gave him conditional baptism, and his breathing immediately returned to normal, allowing him to live over 7 more years. Seeing this, my brother-in-law's family also converted from Protestantism to Catholicism.

<Liliana Jeon from Suwon>

After converting from Protestantism to Catholicism after I knew Our Lady of Naju, I repented with tears and asked for forgiveness. When I sent a letter to Pope Benedict XVI about the graces I received through Our Lady of Naju, he sent me a reply. In the past, after returning to Korea from Saudi Arabia, I was left with my grandparents. I suffered severe cold treatment, abuse, and ridicule from my grandmother and older brother, which filled me with deep hatred and rebellion, especially when my parents didn't react much to my pain.

However, as I made pilgrimages to Naju and read the Messages of Love, I realized that everything was my fault and that my family acted that way because I was there. With this realization, I could forgive everything. I also came to know that the devil, knowing that the Lord would call me to Naju in the future, had tormented me through my family.

Now, I've reconciled and get along well with my brother. I thank the Lord and the Blessed Mother for calling me to Naju and granting me the grace of repentance and healing. I also express my respect, love, and gratitude to Mama Julia.

At 9:30, holding lighted candles, we walked the Way of the Cross and prayed the 5 decades of the Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary. The Lord and the Blessed Mother listen to all our prayer intentions and will fulfill everything according to those intentions when the time is ripe.

On Tuesday, June 30, the 41st Anniversary Prayer Meeting of the Blessed Mother's Tears will be held. A 3-day Youth Retreat will be held from Friday, July 17 to Sunday, July 21 for ages 18 to 40.

At 11 o'clock, we offered the Mass for the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ.

Because God wants to share eternal life with us, He comes to us in the appearance of the Holy Eucharist. In Naju, Eucharistic Miracles occurred 33 times through the Little Soul, and the Holy Eucharist changed into living flesh and blood in her mouth 14 times. On October 31, 1995, during a Mass at the private chapel in the Vatican by the invitation of His Holiness Pope St. John Paul II, the Lord showed this miracle. The Pope witnessed it himself, blessed the Little Soul, and told the Korean bishops visiting the Holy See, "Share this wonderful grace with all countries in Asia."

Father Su confessed that when he first saw the Holy Eucharist change into visible flesh and blood in the Little Soul's mouth in 1995, he came to have faith and adoration for the Holy Eucharist. The following year, on September 17, 1996, when the Little Soul was invited to the Sibu Diocese in Malaysia, another Eucharistic Miracle occurred. The Holy Eucharist given by Father himself changed into a heart-shaped flesh and blood in Mama Julia's mouth. His brother, Bishop Su, witnessed this and proclaimed, "I consider this Eucharistic phenomenon that occurred in the Sibu Diocese as a Eucharistic Miracle."

We had a time with Mama Julia, who is participating in Jesus' redemptive suffering. Since last May 16, she has been enduring extreme pains so severe that she felt she might die soon. She suffers from headaches, agonizing intestinal cramps, and an ulcerated mouth that makes her unable to eat, while experiencing eye discharge, night sweats, and severe insomnia due to autonomic nervous system and hormone issues. She offers up all these extreme sufferings for the official recognition of Naju Shrine as Nihil Obstat and for the spiritual and physical healing of all of us. 

Hiding all this redemptive suffering behind a smile, Mama Julia came out supported by priests and delivered her message. She said, "When you receive the Holy Eucharist during Mass, you receive the living Jesus, right? Then, Jesus lives within you." After saying this, she shared that although she felt like she might die without even being able to go to the emergency room, she promised to do her best to keep her word to go to Heaven with all of us. She prayed and offered up all her pain to pull out all the bad things inside us, encouraging us to be healed of all diseases. 

When a Monsignor from Rome visited Naju, Julia was unable to move due to extreme pain but had to do paintwork. Unaware of his visit, she quickly got up when she heard he was looking for her. Paint got on her hair, so she hurriedly removed it with paint thinner before meeting him. After examining everything in Naju, the Monsignor was deeply moved and declared that the messages, Julia, and everything were all true.  

During a meal, the Monsignor was so joyful that he kissed Julia's head several times. Julia worried if it smelled like thinner. Later, when she spoke with him over the phone after he left for the airport, she carefully asked about it. The Monsignor replied that he smelled a very sweet fragrance. Although paint thinner was on her hair, the Lord gave the scent of roses. Like this, the work of the Lord is truly amazing, and He can do anything with His sublime love.

Giving examples of numerous healing cases in Naju, Mama Julia emphasized the management of graces. If we don't take care of the graces we received properly, the devil can steal them from us. How much do the Lord and the Blessed Mother love us that They appeal with tears and tears of blood to save us from evil? Jesus and the Blessed Mother suffer today, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow to lead us to Heaven. Let's keep the Messages of Love from the Lord and the Blessed Mother and practice the Five Spiritualities well. If we didn't do so, we can start anew from now. It's not about the other person changing first, but I must change first. Everything is "my fault," not someone else's fault. Mama Julia explained all this through easy-to-understand analogies.

After the message, we had a time of meeting. Mama Julia gave her love through sending kisses and blowing breath, and then met with each pilgrim individually. Knowing the graces received through this meeting from experience, all attended with joyful hearts.

Thus, the First Saturday Prayer Meeting of June was concluded. I pray that the blessings of the Lord and the Blessed Mother who appeared and are present in Naju will be fully upon the families of the Mary's Ark of Salvation. We look forward to meeting again with joy on Tuesday, June 30, the 41st Anniversary of the Blessed Mother's Tears in Naju. Shalom.
