An Excerpt from Julia Kim's Testimony During the
Prayer Meeting in Naju, Korea on Holy Thursday (April
5, 2012)
During the Palm Sunday Mass (April 1, 2012), when the
part of the Gospels describing Our Lord's Passion was read, I remembered
the enormous pains that Jesus and the Blessed Mother must have suffered
in Their Hearts when Judas betrayed Jesus and when even Peter, who had
vowed not to deny the Lord even if he should have to die, denied Him
three times.
While meditating on the extreme pains that Jesus and the
Blessed Mother were suffering, I also suffered participating in Their
pains. In this age, even some of those who are working to make Jesus and
the Blessed Mother known to others and have been known to be very close
to Them are recklessly brandishing the swords of betrayal against Jesus
and the Blessed Mother.
The Blessed Mother was shedding not only tears but also
tears of blood and asked me if I could suffer more pains for the
repentance and sanctification of the clergy. I answered that I would
gladly suffer more pains.
During the same Mass, I fell down forcefully. The
Blessed Mother showed me the current condition of the world and said,
"If the clergy and religious do not wake
up, (a terrible event) will occur that will make the whole world shake
with fear." I hope that the sounds of your prayers will
soar to heaven and things that would make us tremble with fear will not
occur.
It was Palm Sunday (April 1, 2012) when the Blessed
Mother said that and, this morning (April 5, 2012, Holy Thursday), I saw
the Blessed Mother praying with her hands joined together and shedding
tears at the place on the Blessed Mother's Mountain where many little
rocks stained with the Precious Blood of Our Lord are being preserved.
She came as Our Lady of Naju, but, instead of the blue mantle,
she was wearing a white dress and a white mantle. The condition of the
world has deteriorated to the extent that God has no option but to send
down the chastisement. Nevertheless, the Blessed Mother said ardently,
very ardently, to us, "At least you who
know me, at least you who are on board the Ark of MaryÕs Salvation,
should remain awake and pray for the repentance and spiritual
sanctification of the clergy."
