[Testimony of Priest] 💓 NAJU experience has been of great benefit to my priestly life.

Testimony of Fr. Anthony on His Pilgrimage to Naju

 "NAJU experience has been of great benefit to my priestly life."

I am Fr. Anthony. 🙌I am very grateful for the opportunity to come and participate in the 39th anniversary of the tears of Our Lady in Naju. I consider it a grace of God’s providence that I was able to be present for this occasion.

Before coming here, I was going through certain personal and spiritual difficulties. However, I entrusted everything to God, and I believe that, through His grace and the intercession of Our Lady, these situations were gradually resolved.

This pilgrimage holds deep meaning for me. This year marks nine years since I began my priestly ministry, during which I experienced periods of spiritual dryness. At times, I felt discouraged and became aware of my own limitations.

While praying here, I experienced a sense of renewal through the spirituality associated with Our Lady of Naju. The inspiration I received has strengthened me and will help me continue my pastoral ministry with renewed dedication.

This experience has been of great benefit to my priestly life. Through this pilgrimage, I was able to reflect more deeply on my vocation and rediscover the value and responsibility of my priesthood.

I am sincerely grateful for the opportunity to be here. I hope to share the spiritual fruits of this experience with the faithful entrusted to my care. I also intend to encourage a deeper devotion to the Blessed Mother in their lives.

I give thanks to God for this grace, and I would welcome the opportunity to return in the future, should it be God’s will.

Meeting Mama Julia and listening to her testimony left a deep impression on me. Through this encounter, I experienced a sense of spiritual encouragement. I will carry this experience with me as I continue my pastoral ministry.💓

I remain grateful for the opportunity to have participated in this pilgrimage. I will continue to keep all of you in my prayers, and I hope that others may also have the opportunity to come and experience a time of prayer and reflection here.

I am especially grateful for the care and concern shown toward priests. Thank you for allowing us to share in this meaningful experience in Naju.
