A Message of Love from Jesus Received by Julia Kim of Naju, South Korea on Good Friday, April 3, 2026
“Now Is a Critical Time for All Humanity”
This Lenten season, I (Julia) have experienced a series of the most intense sufferings in my life. Yet, believing that all of this came from the love of the Lord, I offered it up joyfully, embracing it as if I were loved—practicing “Semchigo,” one of the Five Spiritualities of Naju, which means acting as if something were already true. The Catholic media (in Korea) and broadcasters have turned away from the countless miracles of love happening here in Naju, where the Lord and the Blessed Mother have appeared and are present.
Even though there is no error whatsoever in the Eucharist—the very essence of the Catholic faith—or in the Eucharistic miracles, the messages of love, and the countless spiritual and physical healings, they have imposed a secular framework on them, forcibly fitting everything into the current political narratives, believing they are eradicating corrupt forces instead.
As I have witnessed this persecution unfold, in which Naju is being misrepresented and condemned, and reflected on the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Mother as if engulfed in flames of anguish, my own heart too was set ablaze with intense fervor.
As Holy Week began, my head felt like a volcano, and the pain grew more and more severe. From the suffering in my side, which had swelled to the size of a grown man’s fist, I offered up pains of reparation for the sins of impurity and of abortion, an agony as though my entire body were being stabbed with needles, and I received severe pain in my mouth and teeth. From head to toe, I offered up each and every suffering. Yet I willingly presented all these pains as a sacrificial offering of reparation, continuing to offer them up graciously so that I might bring even a little consolation to Jesus and the Blessed Mother.
On Holy Thursday, I attended the prayer meeting at the Blessed Mother’s Mountain. During the Mass of the Lord’s Supper, I received the Eucharist, and the Blessed Mother bestowed Fragrant Oil in the waiting room. But this time, it appeared in a form completely different from anything I had seen before. Starting from the top, it gradually changed into thick Mother’s Milk and then soon disappeared. Witnessing this mysterious sight, I gave thanks to the Blessed Mother, who granted the Fragrant Oil as signs of love, friendship, and presence. I earnestly prayed that she would always be with the pilgrims as well, through the same love, friendship, and presence, feeding them with thick spiritual milk, and cleansing and healing both their souls and bodies.
When Good Friday came, the pain became so extreme that I could not possibly participate in the Way of the Cross at the Blessed Mother’s Mountain. With a heavy and regretful heart, I stayed home and joined the prayers through the live broadcast, meditating on the Lord’s Passion. As soon as the prayer began, the pain surged even more intensely. While meditating on the Third Station, where we meditated on Jesus’ first fall, I heard the sorrowful and heart-wrenching voice of Jesus.
Jesus: “My beloved Little Soul! There is a little soul like you who unites with My suffering for the salvation of the world and are offering up your sufferings, willing to face death without fear, with all your heart and strength without rest, devoting yourself with total loyalty and strength. Because of this, I receive consolation.
Wars are now breaking out in the world. Will you accept suffering in reparation so that a third world war may not occur?”
Without even the slightest hesitation, I answered:
Julia: “Yes, Lord. If it is the suffering You desire me to offer, how could I spare even my life? I willingly accept any suffering.”
Jesus: “Yes, My poor daughter, who offers everything with utmost devotion, pouring out her heart and strength, fearing not a terrible death—thank you. The sins of the world have already offended the dignity of God and have reached a state of saturation, so God the Father can only permit chastisement. However, by seeing you, My Little Soul, who offers suffering so graciously even at the risk of your life, He is holding back and is not bringing down the hand of justice. My Little Soul! Convey this to the good souls who, even amid oppression and persecution, do not waver but keep their faith and pray at the Naju Shrine.
All My beloved children in the world! Now is a very critical time for all humanity. Clearly realize the simple truth that even light feathers accumulated together in large numbers can sink a boat, and so, put on the armor of the Five Spiritualities, practice them, and pray without ceasing. When you unite with My Little Soul, arm yourselves with the Five Spiritualities, and put them into practice, carrying your daily crosses and following Me. Then, even in the face of a third world war breaking out, My Sacred Heart and My Mother’s Immaculate Heart will surely triumph, and the cup of blessing will be sent down instead of the cup of God’s wrath.
Do not be shaken or worried by the wiles of those who oppose you but go forward courageously with the dignity of those who have been set apart from the world and are being saved, practicing the Five Spiritualities together with My Little Soul. Then you will receive the steadfast strength capable of setting off a chain reaction more powerful than a nuclear one, and as you labor with this strength, on the last day you will be escorted by angels into heaven, where you will receive the crown of glory and stand beside me together with my Little Soul.”
From that moment on, even more intense suffering began throughout my entire body. By the Eleventh Station, my head ached as if it would burst, and at the Twelfth Station, the pain of the crown of thorns began, with blood streaming down from my head. Wherever the blood flowed—down my face and to my neck—the flesh seemed to split, and the burning sensation would not cease.
It felt as though the blood was continuing to pour down, yet to the physical eye it did not seem to flow as much as the pain I was experiencing. From the left side of my head as well, blood streamed down with excruciating pain, but it was not visible externally.
While meditating in prayer on the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Mother—who must be suffering as They witness the sins of this world and the Church being stained by errors and misguided clergy—when the veneration of the Cross took place on Calvary, blood burst forth again and even tears of blood flowed from my right eye. Toward the end of the prayers, I was shown a vision in which the form of a certain nation appeared and suddenly transformed into something extremely ominous and violent.
With tears, I earnestly prayed to Jesus:
“Lord, I am willing to accept any humiliation, disgrace, or suffering. If necessary, I will offer my entire self. Please grant that the Naju Shrine may be approved as “Nihil Obstat,” so that all people may freely make pilgrimages, that all Your children throughout the world may be saved, and so that Your Kingdom may come upon this earth. So that God may be adored, Jesus glorified, and the Blessed Mother consoled, may all our thanksgiving never dry out. Amen!”
