The Blessed Mother happily endures the suffering of "squeezing out all of Her body" to give us Her fragrance and the oil. Julia also willingly offers the pain of "squeezing out all of her body" for Jesus, the Blessed Mother, and for us. This is why the Blessed Mother occasionally allows Julia to experience the phenomenon of fragrant oil emanating from her body.
This is because Julia, being a humble soul resembling the Blessed Mother, desires only to endure suffering and does not wish for any special signs on her body. But how great must be the pain of "squeezing out all of her body"? Consider the process of extracting oil from a seed. It must be a suffering that cannot even be compared to the horrific punishment of Lingchi, which was widely practiced during the Ming Dynasty in China.
How much does the Blessed Mother love us that she endures this immense suffering to give us Her fragrance and oil? Furthermore, How deeply Julia must have understood the Heart of the Blessed Mother, that she willingly participates in that suffering as well! God's infinite mercy has permitted all of this in Naju to save us, who are stained by sin. Everything happening in Naju is the work of God’s love.
