THE EUCHARISTIC
MIRACLE THAT OCCURRED IN THE VATICAN ON FEBRUARY 28, 2010 CAN ONLY BE
OFFICIALLY DISCERNED BY THE HOLY FATHER
The second Eucharistic miracle in the
Vatican
During an overnight prayer meeting in Naju on
November 24, 2009 commemorating the fifteenth anniversary of Archbishop
Giovanni Bulaitis’ visit to Naju and his witnessing two miraculous
descents of the Eucharist on the same day, the Blessed Mother instructed
Julia to visit Archbishop Giovanni Bulaitis. On February 26, 2010, Julia
Kim together with Fr. Aloysius Chang and a few volunteer helpers in Naju
boarded an airplane bound for Rome. She was also carrying with her the
Eucharist that had bled on October 16, 2006 as well as the messages from
Jesus and the Blessed Mother on October 15 and 16, 2006 for the Holy
Father.
When Julia and her companions visited Archbishop
Bulaitis on February 27, 2010, His Excellency asked Julia what her plan
was for the trip. Julia answered that she would only obey the Archbishop
regarding what she was to do in Rome. The Archbishop said that he had
heard from the Blessed Mother while he was praying two days earlier that
Julia would bring a message for him. The Archbishop also told Julia that
the Blessed Mother had said, “Last time (on November 24, 1994), you
received the Eucharist from Julia; this time, you give her the Eucharist.”
The Archbishop continued, “Let’s have the Sunday Mass tomorrow in the
chapel here in my official residence.”
From 10 a.m. on February 28, Archbishop Bulaitis and
Fr. Aloysius Chang concelebrated the Mass. During the Communion, the
Archbishop gave Julia the Sacred Host intincted in the Precious Blood in
the chalice. While Julia was meditating, she called one of the helpers
and opened her mouth. The helper was surprised and asked the Archbishop
to come closer. The Archbishop saw that the Eucharist was changing into
visible flesh and blood on her tongue. He was startled and asked the four
Sisters who were also at the Mass to come and see.
Fresh blood was covering the Eucharist, and, at the
same time, the Eucharist was becoming larger. A while later, some
dark-color blood was seen in the little space between the Eucharist and
Julia’s tongue. The Eucharist continued getting larger. The Eucharist
was also pulsating strongly and, then, weakly, which made Julia’s tongue
move along with the Eucharist like a boat that is being rocked. The
Archbishop observed every change in the Eucharist without turning his eyes
away from the Eucharist even once, as, through this miracle, the inner
reality of the Eucharist, which is the Real Presence of the living and
breathing Jesus with His Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity normally hidden
behind the species of bread and wine, was being revealed. Many
photographs were taken and video recording was done. Then, the Archbishop
instructed Julia to swallow the Eucharist. Julia was wishing that the
Eucharist would be preserved, but promptly obeyed the Archbishop’s
instruction.
The Archbishop then poured some water into the
ciborium and asked Julia to drink it. After she drank the water, the
Archbishop examined the inside of her mouth to see if there were any
wounds. Then, the Archbishop wiped the inside of Julia’s mouth with a
purificator (linen), but did not see any blood on the purificator. All
these steps taken by the Archbishop must have been the most proper and
thoughtful procedures as a shepherd in the Church for a clear and
authentic discernment of whether the sign he observed was of a
supernatural origin or not.
There were twelve people at this Mass who became the
eyewitnesses of this historic event: Archbishop Bulaitis, Fr. Aloysius,
four Sisters, and six lay people including Julia. In the message given to
Julia during this miracle, the Blessed Mother said that this was the last
Eucharistic miracle. Including this miracle, there have been 33
Eucharistic miracles including the changes of the Eucharist into visible
flesh and blood in Julia’s mouth, the bleedings of the Eucharist in a
monstrance or a ciborium, and miraculous descents of the Eucharist from
above. This number reminds us of the 33 years of Our Lord’s life on earth
before His Ascension.
The persistent attacks
by Satan
After the Mass, Archbishop Bulaitis suggested that
Julia and her companions walk to St. Peter’s Square before noon and pray
the Angelus with the Holy Father and also receive his blessing. So
they did. When Pope Benedict XVI was giving his blessing to the large
crowd of people from many different countries, Julia prostrated herself on
the ground, which is a traditional way of making a deep bow in Korea,
toward the Holy Father. She later said that, at the moment she was making
the deep bow, she heard a loud calling of her name: “Julia!”
On the next day, March 1, at about 8 a.m., when Julia
was praying the rosary in her room, she was severely attacked by the
devils. The head of the devils shouted, “Kill this wretched woman, who
is an obstacle to our work, before she sees the Archbishop!”
Immediately a large number of devils launched an all-out attack by jumping
on Julia and ruthlessly striking her down to the floor. Then, the head of
the devils said, “Cut the main arteries in her neck with this knife to
make it look like a suicide!” Immediately, one of the devils picked
up the knife and jumped on Julia to stab her neck, but the Blessed Mother,
wearing a blue mantle, flew in like lightning and struck down the knife.
Because they could not stand the light radiating from the Blessed Mother,
the devils ran away. When a helper entered Julia’s room, he found Julia
lying down on the floor and, near her head, a fruit knife with which the
devil tried to kill her. The devils must have been fearful about the
report on the Eucharistic miracle to be presented to the Holy Father and
other offices in the Holy See.
After the devils’ attack, Julia felt extreme pains in
her head as if it were about to burst and also all over her body as if she
had been beaten with a dull and heavy weapon. She could hardly move
herself, but, meditating on the Love of Jesus Who climbed the hill of
Golgotha dragging His Body covered with wounds, delivered the English
translation of the message received on the previous day to Archbishop
Bulaitis in the morning, as she had promised on the previous day.
Archbishop Bulaitis greeted Julia and her companions in the chapel and
said, “The late Pope John Paul II publicly recognized the truthfulness
of the Eucharistic miracle that had occurred through Julia in the Holy
Father’s chapel on October 31, 1995 by allowing a TV broadcasting of the
miracle all over Italy on May 19, 2001.” His Excellency continued, “The
Eucharistic miracle occurred yesterday in this building which is under the
jurisdiction of the Holy See. The official discernment of this miracle
can only be done by the Holy Father and the Holy See. No one, the Kwangju
Archdiocese or anybody else in the world, has the authority to intervene.”
He repeated this again and again.
When the Archbishop was saying this for the third
time, blood flowed down from the right side of Julia’s forehead, which was
an external sign of Julia’s suffering the pains from the Crown of Thorns.
One lady among Julia’s companions was examining Julia’s head and suddenly
screamed, as she saw many wounds on Julia’s head caused by the Crown of
Thorns. The Sisters also shed tears after seeing Julia’s suffering.
While Archbishop Bulaitis was observing the blood from the right side of
Julia’s forehead, he himself showed some tears. He wiped Julia’s blood
with his handkerchief. Fr. Aloysius Chang was also looking at Julia
suffering extreme pains and wept. A while later, while they were
conversing with one another, blood flowed down from the left side of
Julia’s forehead and entered her left eye. As Julia was unable to open
her left eye, the Archbishop asked one of the Sisters, Sister Agatha, to
wipe Julia’s blood. The Archbishop said referring to what the Sister was
doing, “You are like St. Veronica who wiped blood and sweat from the
Face of Jesus.”
“The Apostolic Nuncio
has to carry out the Holy Father’s orders”
While suffering the pains from the Crown of Thorns,
Julia received a message. Archbishop Bulaitis said, “An Apostolic
Nuncio, who has to carry out the Holy Father’s orders, became a witness of
the Eucharistic miracle and Julia’s suffering from the Crown of Thorns.
Do not hesitate to make these miracles known. You are free to quote my
name and title.” Then, he signed his name on the testimony papers and
stamped his official seal on them.
On March 2, 2010, at about 8:50 a.m., Julia was in
her room writing down the message that she had received on the previous
day. When the helper who assists Julia entered the bathroom, Satan
screamed angrily, “Now is the chance. Kill her promptly so that she
may not spread the message which she received!” Immediately, a great
number of the black devils began attacking Julia. She was thrown to the
floor together with a chair, and one of the devils had a pair of scissors
to cut Julia’s carotid arteries. At that moment, the Blessed Mother
struck down the scissors like lightning, even though Julia could not see
her very clearly. The devils ran away grinding their teeth and cursing.
The whole room was a mess; there were black marks on the notebook computer
made by the attacking devils; and there were three lines of scratch marks
under Julia’s left eye also made by the devils. Fr. Aloysius Chang said,
“The message received yesterday must be very important, as the devils
are so desperate to kill Julia.” The devils’ attacks were really
tenacious.
At about 1:50 p.m., Julia finished writing down the
message and went to the bathroom. While she was in the bathroom, she
heard the head devil saying, “Now there really is no time to hesitate.
Kill this obstinate woman before she goes out. This time, you must kill
her at one stroke without mistake.” As soon as the order was given,
Julia was attacked and fell down on the floor making a loud noise. Fr.
Aloysius and others rushed to Julia’s room and saw the miserable scene of
Julia’s upper garment torn into pieces. Julia changed clothes and told
others what had happened. Suddenly, there was bleeding from the back of
Julia’s neck. From the six lines of cut marks, blood continued to come
out. Julia has been attacked many times by the devils in Naju. Bruises
are frequently found all over her body. She does not complain but prays,
“May the little pains that I suffer become the glory to the Lord, a
consolation to the Blessed Mother, and a cause of our endless gratitude.”
The true nature of the
devils was exposed
Julia and her companions visited Archbishop Bulaitis
again in the afternoon of March 2, 2010 and delivered to the Archbishop
the English translation of the message received on the previous day.
While conversing with the Archbishop, Julia was suddenly thrown down on
the floor. The devils attacked her even when she was with other people,
because they became so cranky over their failures until then. The time of
the attack was about 6 p.m. There were three bleeding scratch marks on
the left back of Julia’s neck and three bleeding scratch marks on the back
of her left hand as if scratched with a three-pronged spear.
Also when Julia was writing down the messages and the
details of the pains from the Crown of Thorns and from the attacks by the
devils, the notebook computer was suddenly turned off and did not function
for a while, and this happened again and again. The battery could not be
recharged, either. Similar difficulties with the computer were also
experienced by Benedict Lee in the United States who was translating the
messages into English. From March 5, Friday, when the writing and
translating the messages were all finished, there was no longer any
malfunctioning of the computers in Rome or in the United States. This was
another evidence that the devils did not want their true nature to be
exposed and they did not want the messages to be publicized. Julia
suffered more because of the devils’ attacks, but their attacks only
proved again the eternal truth that Satan can never win against God.
On March 3, in the morning, Julia and her companions
went to the Audience Hall next to St. Peter’s Basilica, where the Holy
Father meet many pilgrims together. Thanks to the arrangement by
Archbishop Bulaitis, Julia and her companions were sitting in the front
row. They were happy to receive the Holy Father’s blessing. After the
audience, they went back to Archbishop Bulaitis’ official residence and
were treated with a wonderful lunch. After the lunch, they returned to
the hotel and prepared for Julia’s visit to His Eminence Cardinal Ivan
Dias at 5 p.m. Fr. Aloysius celebrated the Mass in preparation for that
meeting. While Julia was meditating after she received Communion, she
suddenly shed much blood from her forehead. She prayed, “Jesus! May
the meeting with Cardinal Ivan Dias today be done according to Thy Will
and not according to our will.” Then, the Blessed Mother began
speaking.
The Blessed
Mother:
“My beloved
daughter! Thank you. As you are graciously offering up your pains
praying only for the accomplishment of the Lord’s Will despite your
difficulties and fatigue, this Mommy’s Heart is filled with boundless
joy. As you go to visit my son Ivan, whom I have specially nourished and
brought up, together with Giovanni, I will accompany you. Will you
receive sufferings for their sake?”
Julia:
“Yes, of course, I will. I am willing to suffer any pains. As this
unworthy and lowly daughter belongs totally to the Lord, I will lay down
and offer up my whole body and heart.”
The Blessed
Mother:
“I knew you would. In this age when grave calamities are occurring in
the sky, on the ground, and in the seas at different places in the world,
if you (plural), whom I have selected and chosen out of many people who
are more numerous than the stars in the sky and the grains of sand on the
beach, completely subject even your free will to me and, thus, sink deeply
into and become dissolved in the Sacred Heart of Jesus and my Immaculate
Heart, and work in unity (with the Sacred Heart of Jesus and my Immaculate
Heart), this Mommy’s Heart will throb in unison with my Son Jesus’
Divinity as well as your human hearts, and, because of this, you will
become more intimate with me and receive more abundant energy.”
Julia:
“A—MEN!”
Even before
my “Amen” was completed, the pains on my head from the Crown of
Thorns began and blood flowed down. I was told that it was about 4 p.m.
“Oh, Lord! Receive glory. What a happy pain it will be, if it can be
even of a smallest help for the accomplishment of the Lord’s Will!”
The Blessed
Mother:
“Yes,
that is it. My beloved daughter who rejoices even while suffering pains!
As Moses renounced his royal power and Abraham gave up Isaac, you (plural)
also totally laid down yourselves in order to supply nourishment to
numerous souls. So, how can I not be with you (plural)? The time that I
spend with you (plural) is a time of pleasant rest for me.”
Julia:
“Oh, Mommy! I am only ashamed of myself. I thank you for granting the
little prayers of this sinful and shameful woman. I only wish to follow
the Lord’s Words that those who wish to follow the Lord must renounce
their own selves and follow Him carrying their crosses.”
The Blessed
Mother:
“Yes,
thank you. This unchanging fervor of yours toward the Lord always gives
joy to the Lord and me.”
Julia:
“Mommy! As I offer up my pains as numerous as the thorns that pierced
my head and the drops of blood that shed from these wounds for the
intention of the meeting among Cardinal Ivan Dias, Archbishop Bulaitis,
and myself who is so unworthy, grant that the Sacred Heart of the Lord and
the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Mother wounded by the sinners be
comforted and glorified and that we may offer up gratitude that does not
dry up. Amen!”
The Blessed
Mother:
“Yes, my lovely daughter! As you offer up praise and glory to the Lord
and me through the fellowship of love every day and at every moment, your
meeting will make the flower of love blossom on the banquet table of the
Love from the Lord and me.”
Julia:
“Amen! I, who am an unworthy, sinful woman, only give thanks to Thee.
As the whole sky and all the lands are filled with the most sublime and
purest Love of the Lord and the Blessed Mother, I will continue making
efforts despite my unworthiness.”
Cardinal
Ivan Dias witnessed Julia’s suffering the pains from the Crown of Thorns
(The following report on the visit to Cardinal Ivan Dias was written by
Julia)
At about
4:30 pm (on March 3, 2010, Wednesday), the official vehicle that Cardinal
Ivan Dias sent arrived at the hotel. Archbishop Bulaitis and I together
arrived at His Eminence’s official residence. While we were conversing, I
heard the voice of the Blessed Mother.
The Blessed
Mother:
“Are you willing to suffer pains again for my beloved sons whom I can
put into my eyes without feeling any pain?”
Julia:
“Mommy! Please allow me to suffer pains even without asking me. I am
the Lord’s if I die and I am the Lord’s if I live. As I only wish that
the Lord’s Will be done, the pains that I suffer are a cause of my joy.
Therefore, through the suffering of this sinful and unworthy woman,
sublimate this meeting between His Eminence, His Excellency, and this
sinful woman into a blessing that can reveal the Lord’s glory, and let
them (the Cardinal and the Archbishop) rise to the heavenly thrones.
A—men!”
Again, even
before my “Amen” ended, I began suffering the pains from the Crown
of Thorns on my head. More blood flowed down from the right side of my
head. Cardinal Dias was surprised very much, because he had only seen
Julia’s suffering from the Crown of Thorns in photographs and written
reports. Archbishop Giovanni Bulaitis gave me his handkerchief,
embroidered with his initials, so that I might wipe away the blood.
Archbishop Bulaitis said to Cardinal Dias, “Julia joyfully offers up
her pains for the glory of the Lord.”
We resumed
the pleasant conversation in a congenial atmosphere. I wished the
conversation to last longer, but, I did not want His Eminence become tired
and asked him to give me a blessing. His Eminence said, “Let’s go to
the chapel,” and, in the chapel at His Eminence’s official residence,
we first prayed together and I received a blessing from His Eminence.
Then, while His Eminence was offering the prayer of thanksgiving, I
suffered the pains of being pierced by the Crown of Thorns and bled
again. This time, His Eminence gave me his handkerchief to wipe away the
blood from the wounds caused by the Crown of Thorns. He also gave me two
extra handkerchiefs on which his first name: “IVAN” was embroidered in red
thread. As I felt overwhelmed with joy over the thoughtful kindness and
favor of the Cardinal and the Archbishop and offered up a prayer of
thanksgiving, the Blessed Mother was looking upon us joyfully and with a
very happy expression.
I had
expected the meeting with His Eminence to be a short one, in which he
might just give me a blessing, but the meeting lasted for almost three
hours. During the conversation with His Eminence, Archbishop Bulaitis
said, “The messages in Naju have profound meanings.” When I said
to Cardinal Dias, “The messages of love that the Lord and the Blessed
Mother have given us are extremely important, but I am so unworthy. Would
it be possible that the Blessed Mother(’s statue in Naju) is moved to the
Vatican so that the messages of love may spread and be put into practice
all over the world?” His Eminence answered, “The Blessed Mother
came to Naju and, therefore, her statue must remain in Naju so that people
may pray before her.”
His Eminence encouraged the prayer meetings in Naju
I asked further, “Then, may I continue the work that I
have been doing until now?” His Eminence said, “Of course. This
work is not the humans’ but the Lord’s and the Blessed Mother’s. As the
Lord healed your cancer rescuing you from death, the Lord and the Blessed
Mother will soon resolve the Naju question.”
The above remark by His Eminence seemed to have a thread of
connection with what he had said in his letter to the Archbishop of
Kwangju in 2008: “What has been happening in Naju is considered
‘private revelations’; therefore, Your Excellency’s Decree (in
which the Kwangju Archbishop declared automatic excommunication of anyone
in the world who makes a pilgrimage to Naju) cannot be applied to the
pilgrims to Naju. The penalties imposed on Fr. Aloysius Chang should also
be lifted. Fr. Chang can continue celebrating the Mass.”
Julia’s meeting with
Cardinal Ivan Dias, the Prefect of the Congregation for the Evangelization
of Peoples, which oversees and guides the church activities in all the
mission territories in the world (including Korea) seems to have a
tremendous importance. After this meeting, Archbishop Giovanni Bulaitis
said to Julia and her companions, “When you return to Korea, you must
publicize in detail what happened during this trip. Especially, it is
important that you present full reports to the Bishops and priests, but
begin the work of publicizing on March 25, 2010, not before. I will
present the official reports to the Congregations which are directly
involved in the Naju question and some other offices as well.” The
Cardinal also said, “I am scheduled to have an audience with the Holy
Father on Monday (March 8, 2010). I will make a full report to him.”
His Eminence normally sees the Holy Father once in every two weeks, but,
this time, he met the Holy Father on March 8 and again three days later on
March 11. His Eminence probably presented to the Holy Father not only the
reports on the miracles in Rome but also the messages from Jesus and the
Blessed Mother received on October 15 and 16, 2006 and the Eucharist that
bled on October 16, 2006 for the Holy Father.
It seems that important activities regarding Naju
have recently been going on in the Holy See in a solemn official reaction
to the total neglect and failure to conduct a conscientious examination of
the messages and signs in Naju by the local diocese in Korea and to the
distortion of the Church doctrines and the propagation of serious
doctrinal errors as if they were the authentic Church teachings for the
purpose of condemning Naju by some of the most influential priests in
Korea who are desperately opposed to Naju.
Now, it seems to be a turning point for Naju, which
has become possible because of Julia’s unconditional obedience to the
Blessed Mother’s instruction that she should meet Archbishop Giovanni
Bulaitis instead of relying on human judgments, calculations, or worries.
Thus, during this trip to Rome, there occurred one Eucharistic miracle,
which would also be the last Eucharistic miracle, sufferings from the
Crown of Thorns five times, and repetitive attacks by the devils, which
also exposed the true nature of them. These supernatural occurrences may
become another driving force for Cardinal Dias and Archbishop Bulaitis to
even more vigorously flame up with their love for the Lord and the Blessed
Mother.
