Our Lord's Precious Blood descended
again
in Naju on June 30 and July 2, 2011
During the overnight prayer meetings in Naju on June
30 and July 2, 2011, Julia Kim and many other pilgrims in the vinyl
chapel in Naju received drops of the Lord's Precious Blood on their
clothes, arms, and feet.

It seems that what is happening in Naju was
prefigured by a solemn event carried out in the desert during the
Exodus of the Israeli people from Egypt to the Promised Land:
Exodus
Chapter 24: 6-8
Then Moses took half of the blood, and put it into
bowls: and the rest he poured upon the altar. And taking the book of
the covenant, he read it in the hearing of the people: and they
said: All things that the
Lord hath spoken we will do. We will be obedient.
And he took the blood and sprinkled it upon the people, and he said:
This is the blood of the
covenant which the Lord hath made with you concerning all these
words.
Likewise, the Precious Blood is sprinkled by Our
Lord upon the people gathered in Naju as signs of the confirmation
of His Covenant with them. It is noteworthy that the descent of the
drops of the Precious Blood in Naju was immediately preceded by the
pilgrims' act of reaffirming their loyalty to the Lord by coming to
the prayer meetings despite the persisting obstacles in Korea. In
the desert, the Israeli people said that they would do all
things that the Lord hath spoken and would be obedient just
before Moses sprinkled the blood of the sacrificed animal upon them.
People's promises of loyalty to the Lord followed by His recognition
fulfill the formal requirements for establishing or confirming the
Covenant. In the same manner, every time we sincerely and lovingly
attend the Mass, renew our promise of loyalty to the Lord, and
receive the Holy Communion, our Covenant with the Lord is
reconfirmed.
