During the Korean Bishops' ad limina visit to the Vatican in 1991, Archbishop Victorinus Gong-Hee Youn of Gwangju reported to Pope John Paul II, "In my diocese, a statue of the Blessed Mother shed tears." In response, the Holy Father said, "In such matters, it is important to observe the fruits." Then, on October 31, 1995, one year before the Korean Bishops' next ad limina visit in 1996, the Holy Father witnessed the Eucharistic miracle through Julia in the Vatican chapel on October 31, 1995. The Holy Father also received much information about Naju through Archbishop Giovanni Bulaitis, the Apostolic Nuncio who had visited Naju on November 24, 1994. To the Korean Bishops in 1996, the Holy Father said: "Share the wonderful grace in Naju with other countries in Asia". We have also been informed that the Holy Father was looking at the photographs of the Blessed Mother shedding tears and tears of blood in Naju without stopping for about 40 minutes, with his hands slightly raised as he would during the prayers of the Mass.  More...

DECLARATION ON OUR CATHOLIC FAITH AND THE MESSAGES AND MIRACULOUS SIGNS THROUGH MRS. JULIA KIM OF NAJU, KOREA

As the book of Proverbs states: “Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will be established.” (#303)

God is the sovereign master of his plan. But to carry it out he also makes use of his creatures’ cooperation. This use is not a sign of weakness, but rather a token of almighty God’s greatness and goodness. For God grants his creatures not only their existence, but also the dignity of acting on their own, of being causes and principles for each other, and thus of cooperating in the accomplishment of his plan. (#306)

“In reality it is only in the mystery of the Word made flesh that the mystery of man truly becomes clear.” (#359)

"Belief in the true Incarnation of the Son of God is the distinctive sign of Christian faith:  'By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God' (1 John 4:2).  Such is the joyous conviction of the Church from her beginning whenever she sings 'the mystery of our religion': 'He was manifested in the flesh' (1 Tim. 3:16)." (#463)

"The unique and altogether singular event of the Incarnation of the Son of God does not mean that Jesus Christ is part God and part man, nor does it imply that he is the result of a confused mixture of the divine and the human.  He became truly man while remaining truly God.  Jesus Christ is true God and true man.  During the first centuries, the Church had to defend and clarify this truth of faith against the heresies that falsified it." (#464)

"The virtual Council was stronger than the real Council... this Council created many calamities."

In his final meeting with the Clergy of Rome before resigning from the papacy on February 28, 2013, Pope Benedict XVI offered a remarkably frank assessment of the aftermath of the Second Vatican Council and the "many calamities, so many problems, so much misery" brought about in its wake. It is a stunning wake-up call for all the faithful and clergy of the Church.

The official teaching of the Catholic Church on the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist is that, by the Power of Jesus Christ represented by a validly ordained priest, when the priest consecrates bread and wine during the Mass as Jesus did during the Last Supper before His Passion, the substances of the bread and wine change into the true Flesh and Blood of Jesus Christ, while the species of bread and wine remain unchanged...: "In the most blessed sacrament of the Eucharist ‘the body and blood, together with the soul and divinity, of our Lord Jesus Christ and, therefore, the whole Christ is truly, really, and substantially contained’," [Catechism of the Catholic Church #1374].

[D]uring the past several decades, even some of the Catholic theologians [Fr. Karl Rahner (1904-1984) of Germany, Fr. Edward Schillebeeckx (1914-2009) of Belgium, and others, enormously popular among the liberal and modernist priests and seminarians worldwide] promoted the Protestant idea that Our Lord's Presence in the Eucharist is only a symbolic and spiritual one. Influenced by them, the majority of the lay people in the entire Catholic Church (over 70% according to some statistics) do not believe the Real Presence of Our Lord in the Eucharist thinking that the Eucharist is bread and wine that only signifies the spiritual presence of Jesus....   More...

... In February 2008, Fr. Aloysius Chang of Naju and I visited the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples (the CEP) to appeal for the restoration of Fr. Chang's priestly rights, as he had been expelled from the Gwangju Archdiocese in the previous month for supporting Naju. A few weeks later, the CEP sent an official letter to the Gwangju Archbishop stating: "As the events in Naju are considered private revelations, the restrictions on Fr. Chang and pilgrims should be lifted and Fr. Chang can celebrate the Mass". This statement by the CEP effectively nullifies all the restrictions including the threat of excommunication by the Gwangju Archdiocese on the pilgrims to Naju and all those who believe in the truthfulness of Naju...  More...

"Have you ever seen an airplane flying with only one wing on one side? . . . An airplane cannot fly with only one wing on one side; likewise, we cannot fly to the Heavenly Kingdom with only one wing. We need two wings to be able to reach Heaven. The first wing is our love for God and the second wing is our love for our neighbors. Many people say that they love God but do not love their neighbors. In that case, it will be very difficult for them to enter the Heavenly Kingdom."  More...

His Excellency Bishop Dominic Su of Sibu, Malaysia visited Naju again to celebrate the 26^th anniversary (October 19, 2012) of the Blessed Mother's first shedding tears of blood in Naju.

Bishop Dominic Su had personally witnessed a Eucharistic miracle of the Sacred Host changing into the visible and live Flesh and Blood on Julia's tongue during the Mass in the Sacred Heart of Jesus Cathedral in Sibu on September 17, 1996.  More...

With regard to the miracles and messages received by Mrs. Julia Kim in Naju, Korea, there seem to be three categories of responses: (1) There are those who are well aware of what really is going in the Church concerning Naju and stand firm in obeying God instead of obeying men (cf. Acts 5:29). They do not fear the eyes or criticisms of others in visiting Naju, attending the prayer meetings there, or spreading the information about Naju; (2) There are many others who accept the truthfulness of Naju but are hesitant to join the pilgrims, saying that they will quietly continue waiting for the official approval of Naju; (3) There also are those who are badly shaken by hearing some negative rumors about Naju and become seriously doubtful or turn against Naju. Most such rumors have been spread by the liberal priests in Gwangju and they seem to have reached even some of the high officials in the Vatican through the opposing clergy's written reports, DVD, and visits....

Despite the Declarations and Decree of the local Church authorities in Korea, there still are a large number of people including some Bishops and many priests in the world who firmly believe in the truthfulness of the messages and miraculous signs in Naju... There are countless witnesses in the world including some Bishops and many priests who have personally experienced the miracles and examined the messages in Naju and firmly believe their truthfulness. As explained in this testimony, the negative judgment on Naju by the local diocese has been based on its doctrinal errors and failure to conduct scientific examinations or interview the numerous eyewitnesses.  More...

In the early part of the Korean War (thirty-five years earlier than in Naju), the Blessed Mother shed tears of blood before the attacking North Korean soldiers through her statue in Our Lady of the Holy Rosary Church  in Gamgok, which is a small town about 50 miles southeast of Seoul.  Gamgok is one of the best-known Marian shrines in Korea now.

St. John Bosco explains his dream: "The enemy ships are persecutions. The most serious trials for the Church are near at hand...Her enemies are represented by the ships that tried to sink the ship if they could. Only two means are left to save her amidst so much confusion: DEVOTION TO MARY MOST HOLY and FREQUENT COMMUNION, making use of every means and doing our best to practice them and having them practiced everywhere and by everybody."

The Holy See has never condemned Naju.

Do not be misled by a false rumor. We write this article to make known to the Holy See and all the shepherds and the faithful around the world the true facts of the Blessed Mother of Naju so that the truths and facts may not be left clouded and distorted by the false rumors and incorrect reports spread widely by the opponents of Naju, reminding ourselves of our fundamental duty as human beings and members of the Church: "A human being must always obey the certain judgment of his conscience. If he were deliberately to act against it, he would condemn himself" (Catechism of the Catholic Church #1790).

It has been widely known that the late Pope John Paul II had a special interest in and love for the Blessed Mother of Naju.  As he had already had a profound love for and devotion to the Blessed Mother from the earliest years of his life, it is not surprising that he also had such a deep love for the Blessed Mother of Naju who had been shedding tears and tears of blood out of her love and concern for the entire human race More...

This image of Our Lady of Grace is painted on the front wall and ceiling behind the altar in the church at San Giovanni Rotondo, Italy, where St. Pio of Pietrelcina lived.  In this image, the Baby Jesus is trying to give us, also children of His Mother in the order of grace, His Mother’s milk, which represents grace. More...

St. Catherine Labouré and the Miraculous Medal — by Rev. Robert J. Billett, C.M.F.

The night of July 18, 1830 was a night that changed the history of the world. It was the night that the Blessed Virgin Mary ushered in the modern Marian era. It had been almost 300 years since the apparition of Our Lady of Guadalupe in 1531. This night in 1830 Our Lady’s apparition began a series of Marian apparitions, manifestations and ecclesial events that were to succeed one another down to our own day. We can very well see why Pope Paul VI declared, "Our era may well be called the Marian Era." (The Great Sign, #6, p.11; May 13, 1967) More...
 

Our Mother of Perpetual Help

The sacred picture of “Our Mother of Perpetual Help” is fittingly venerated in the church named after the Marian Doctor of the church St. Alphonsus Liguori....

The story of this Icon is one of the most unusual and involved stories of the many Marian shrines and miraculous images throughout the world.  The painting originally came from the island of Crete where it had been venerated for a number of years.  More...
