TESTIMONY AND ATTESTATION OF THE WITNESSES OF THE PHENOMENON OF THE EUCHARIST CHANGING INTO FLESH AND BLOOD

Seven persons (six from Naju, Korea, and one from Germany) visited His Excellency Archbishop Giovanni Bulaitis at his residence in Rome at about 9:30 a.m. on February 28, 2010.  The visitors were Fr. Aloysius Chang, Julia Kim, Peter Kim, Angela Yoon, Albino Kim, and Peter Suh from Korea and Cäcilia Min-Ja Pohl from Germany.  They briefly conversed with His Excellency and, from 10 a.m., participated in the Mass concelebrated by His Excellency and Fr. Aloysius Chang.  In addition to the visitors, there were four Sisters at the Mass who serve in the official facilities where Archbishop Bulaitis resides.  

At the time of Communion, His Excellency first gave the Sacred Host and the Precious Blood to Julia.  Others received Communion also.  While they were meditating, Julia signaled to Peter Kim to come closer and look.  Peter saw the Eucharist in Julia’s mouth permeated with bright red blood and saw the Eucharist in the process of changing into flesh and blood.  Peter immediately reported this to Archbishop Bulaitis.  His Excellency and Fr. Chang witnessed the phenomenon, and the rest of the participants in the Mass also saw it. 

The Eucharist permeated with blood grew larger and larger and pulsated like a live heart.  As the Eucharist continued moving, it appeared as though Julia’s tongue was also moving with the Eucharist.  The Eucharist continued to grow larger like rising dough.  Then, suddenly, from the bottom side of the Eucharist, some blood of the dark red color flowed out.  By that time, the Eucharist appeared to be thicker than Julia’s tongue.  The four Sisters who had returned to their pews came back to see the dark color blood and the larger Eucharist. 

After everyone witnessed the phenomenon and photos and videos were taken, Archbishop Bulaitis instructed Julia to swallow the Eucharist.  Julia obeyed.  After the Mass ended, His Excellency gave the water in the ciborium to Julia and asked her to drink it.  Then, he asked Julia to open her mouth and, together with the Sisters, examined if there were any wounds inside Julia’s mouth.  After a thorough visual examination of the inside of Julia’s mouth, His Excellency meticulously wiped every corner in Julia’s mouth with the linen purificator, but there was no stain of blood on the purificator.

We, the witnesses, profess our firm opinion and belief that this amazing occurrence that we observed today was truly a Eucharistic miracle that the Lord and the Blessed Mother gave us through Julia Kim and, hereby, add our signatures below as an attestation of our belief.

A REFLECTION ON THE MEANING OF THE EUCHARISTIC PHENOMENON IN THE CHAPEL AT ARCHBISHOP GIOVANNI BULAITIS’ RESIDENCE IN ROME
 

The miraculous descent of the Eucharist in Naju during Archbishop Giovanni Bulaitis’ visit to the Chapel in Naju on November 24, 1994 was the first Eucharistic miracle that involved the descent of the Eucharist from above, and was given to His Excellency through Julia Kim.  At that time, His Excellency was the Apostolic Nuncio to Korea.  The Eucharist that came down on November 24, 1994 had already been broken into two halves before the Eucharist landed on Julia’s hands.  Julia gave one half of the Eucharist that had the image of “A” (alpha) to Fr. Raymond Spies, Julia’s spiritual director at that time, and gave the other half with the image of “Ω” (omega) to Archbishop Bulaitis.  Archbishop Bulaitis gave Communion to about 70 people including several priests present in the chapel at that time by breaking the Eucharist into small pieces.  Some remaining pieces of the Eucharist have been preserved. 

This time, the miracle of the Eucharist changing into visible flesh and blood in Julia Kim’s mouth occurred during the Mass on February 28, 2010, the Second Sunday of Lent, in the chapel at the official residence of Archbishop Bulaitis located close to St. Peter’s Basilica and the Holy Father’s residence in Vatican City.  The Mass was concelebrated by Archbishop Giovanni Bulaitis and Fr. Aloysius Chang and attended by four Sisters and six other visitors from Korea and Germany.

Julia was also told by the Blessed Mother that this would be the last Eucharistic miracle in association with her.  The first miraculous descent of the Eucharist occurred during Archbishop Bualitis’ visit to Naju, and, now, the last Eucharistic miracle occurred through Archbishop Bulaitis.  The total number of the Eucharistic miracles in Naju and other places through Julia Kim so far is 33, which is the number of years of Our Lord’s life on earth.  The number of the participants in the Mass where the miracle occurred was 12, the same as the number of the Apostles.  After the Mass, the visitors went to St. Peter’s Square and offered the Angelus with the Holy Father and received the Holy Father’s blessing together with many other pilgrims.  The Eucharistic miracle that occurred this time seems to have a special significance, because it occurred in Vatican City where the Holy Father resides.  

When the visitors asked the Archbishop if they could make this miracle known, he gave them an immediate answer.  He told them to make this fact of the Eucharistic miracle known actively after they return to Korea.  He also said that they should let people know that this miracle in Rome was the last Eucharistic miracle according to the Blessed Mother’s message to Julia.

During the first meeting with Archbishop Bulaitis on February 27, 2010 after their arrival in Rome on the previous night, His Excellency said, “I received an answer from the Blessed Mother two days ago.  She said that she gave the Eucharist to me through Julia on November 24, 1994, but this time I should give the Eucharist to Julia.”  His Excellency asked Julia to come back for the Mass on the next day (Sunday, February 28, 2010) and she promptly answered that she would do so.
