AN URGENT APPEAL TO ALL THE CONCERNED MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH ABOUT HER CURRENT CRISIS AND MISSION

"Thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." (Matthew 16:18)

"The one mediator, Christ, established and ever sustains here on earth his holy Church, the community of faith, hope, and charity, as a visible organization through which he communicates truth and grace to all men". (Roman Catechism I, 10, 20)

The Church that Our Lord Himself established on earth two thousand years ago is not merely a congregation and society of believers but is truly the Mystical Body of Christ, alive and breathing with the Holy Spirit and bearing fruits by sanctifying its members through washing away their sins and infusing the divine grace into their souls and thus enabling them to live forever in the Kingdom of God as His people and children. This Church will never succumb to the power of the devil as Jesus promised but will succeed in defeating him and realizing the universal reigning of Our Lord in the world with the assistance of the Blessed Mother.

During the long process of reaching that happy stage, however, the devil and his forces will not slow down their ferocious attempts to harm the Church and her members. In fact, the opposition and persecution of Jesus and His disciples started at the very beginning of the Church and have ever been intensifying until now, which is the end time when the battle will finally be concluded.

Especially since the 1960s when the Second Vatican Council was held, the liberal theologians and their followers have enthusiastically distorted the true meanings of the Council teachings and succeeded in causing great confusions and disorders in the Church. As a result, (1) the strict guarding of the revealed truths (= the true, traditional teachings of the Church) and rejection of the errors (heresies) have become compromised and weakened, as if the revealed truths were not important any longer and the theological and moral errors were not dangerous any longer; (2) based on the distortions, dilutions, and ignorance of the revealed truths, the key devotions in the Church such as the Eucharistic Devotion and the Marian Devotion have become de-emphasized and even despised; (3) "sins" are no longer perceived as the only obstacles to our obtaining eternal salvation, making the practices of making Confession and penance gradually fade out of the Catholic life; (4) as the teachings of God the Son's Incarnation and His Resurrection are no longer clearly taught, the Divinity of Jesus and everything supernatural in the Church have become blurred and forgotten; thus, the importance of miracles is no longer taught or recognized; and (5) the value and discipline concerning the vocations of priesthood, religious life, and devoted lay life have been reduced.

In Naju, Korea, Our Lord and Our Lady have been giving us many messages and countless miracles to alert us to the crisis in the Church and to restore the true faith and moral discipline in the Catholic life. So far, the opposing modernist and liberal priests in Korea have been very successful in delaying the official Church approval of Naju by spreading vicious false rumors about Naju and threatening the pilgrims. As they always despise miracles, they have refused to conduct scientific examinations of any of the physical evidence of the thousands of miracles in Naju so far including the thirty-three Eucharistic Miracles. The true miracles are God's own testimonies for the sake of our salvation. Jesus warned those who despised His miracles and refused to do penance: "If the mighty deeds done in your midst had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom on the day of judgment than for you." (Matthew 11: 23-24) Mary's Touch By Mail is only a small, poor family spreading the information about Naju since 1991. Only with the participation by many individuals and families in this mission, we can reach millions more people in the world.
