ABOUT THE WAY OF
THE CROSS ON THE BLESSED MOTHER'S MOUNTAIN IN NAJU
The Way of the Cross on the Blessed Mother's Mountain
in Naju is the place where Jesus and the Blessed Mother are walking with
us, making present the Passion of the Cross of two thousand-years ago,
transcending time and space. It is the Way of the Cross filled with love
and grace.
● On November 9, 2001, Julia was doing the Stations
of the Cross together with several volunteer helpers on the Blessed
Mother's Mountain. She was suffering so severely that she even had
difficulty opening her eyes. During the Stations of the Cross, Julia saw
a vision of Jesus shedding His Precious Blood and the Blessed Mother
shedding her tears of blood. Actually, more than 3,000 little stones and
some fallen tree leaves between the Third Station and the Fifteenth
Station became stained with much blood that appeared to have been shed
just moments earlier. Many stones had tiny pieces of flesh on them in
addition to thick layers of blood. Even a piece of flesh that had brown
hair on it was found.
On the same day, the Blessed Mother said, "I
listen attentively to the sounds of fervent prayers which you offer up on
the Way of the Cross on Calvary and accompany you, shedding tears of blood
at the side of my Son Jesus Who is shedding blood and is with you."
Thus, we learned that the signs given on that day were Jesus' Precious
Blood and the Blessed Mother's tears of blood.
● Again, on January 18, 2002, large quantities of
blood came down between the Seventh Station and the Thirteenth Station.
Especially amazing was the fact that, in the afternoon on the same day,
several pilgrims personally saw several drops of the Precious Blood coming
down on the paved area and a large rock at the Twelfth Station. One of
the bloodstains on the large rock formed the shape of a cross and even had
an image of the Blessed Mother in the middle of the cross. At that
moment, Jesus said, "Even at this hour, when two thousand years have
passed, I am coming to you, shedding blood like this, in order to be with
you. . . If all those who walk this Way of the Cross open the doors of
their hearts widely, desire sincerely to be united with Me, and pray
participating in the pains that I suffer, they will meet Me and receive
spiritual and physical healings."
● Also on January 27, 2002, when the Precious Blood
came down at the Ninth, Eleventh, and Twelfth Stations, Our Lord said, "The
reason why I am revealing My Love even by shedding blood for you, is to
wash away your sins thoroughly and perform a transfusion. This is a
testimony of My intense Love for all of you and is the Blood of the
Covenant."
● On February 2, 2002, when Our Lord's Precious
Blood, sweat, and water came down on the paved areas from the Tenth
Station to the Eleventh Station, the Blessed Mother said, "I will let
you grow spiritually through the sincere prayers that you offer up
earnestly with your whole hearts on this Way of the Cross where I walk
with my Son Jesus, bleeding with Him. The Lord will bathe your souls and
bodies with His Sacred Blood and give you the plenary indulgence. Rather,
He promised to give it to you."
● Let us all become humble and little souls,
responding with "Amen" to the Love of Our Lord and Our Lady, which
is so high, deep, and wide, displaying the power of love more vigorously,
and doing our best to be loyal in heroic ways. Thus, on the last day, let
us receive the privilege of participating in the heavenly banquet, where
there is no more death, hunger, distress, agony, sorrows, or lamentation
but which is only filled with love. Amen.
□ Blood samples (bloodstains on the little rocks,
tree leaves, and gauze) from the Way of the Cross on the Blessed Mother's
Mountain were repeatedly subjected to DNA tests in the Department of
Forensic Medicine at Seoul National University, and were found to be human
blood with Type AB. Also, the tests at Green Cross Hospital in Gwangju
and Naju General Medical Center as well as at laboratories abroad all
reached the same conclusion on the Blood Type, which was AB.
□ The tests in Italy in the 1970s of the samples
taken from the Eucharist that had miraculously turned into the species of
flesh and blood about thirteen hundred years ago in a church at Lanciano,
Italy, also showed that the Blood Type of the samples was AB.
