Mother Mary
Powerful Intercessor
 
(Extract from ‘The Miracle in Naju, Korea’ -Mother Mary’s Messages to Julia Kim)
 

My name is Angela Lim. I live in Busan, South Korea. I divorced my husband 18 years ago and have been raising two children. No one will understand how many times I have cried or how much pain I have endured. Tears of blood have been flowing inside me.

I was so resentful and decided to take revenge by earning as much money as possible and raising the children in the best possible way.- I worked like an ox, even though I was sick. My mind was always sizzling with resentment and anger, unable to forgive. I was angry with the world and, sometimes, even with God.

On December 8, 1987, I had a chance to visit Naju. There was a prayer meeting for consecration of the new Chapel, to which the Blessed Mother's statue was moved from Julia's apartment. At the meeting, Julia relayed the Blessed Mother's message to us:

Do not criticize or judge others, but convert yourself... Families are sick. Sanctify your family by loving one another. Never blame others, but always blame yourself only. Those who accept my messages will experience a renewal of their souls through my messages of love..."

I was totally shaken up by these messages and Julia's testimonies. I was crying loudly. Until that time, I always thought that I was right. I never admitted any fault on my part. As I had always been blaming others and full of anger, I felt so shameful before the Lord and the Blessed Mother. My mind was shaken up in an indescribable way and I was crying uncontrollably. I cried and cried, as I was deciding to forgive and accept my husband.

People around me in the Chapel asked me to control the noise. So I crawled out and began cleaning the bathroom floor. I cleaned it thoroughly remembering Julia's words: Let us become a mop to clean souls. I wanted to become a mop for cleaning my husband who was sick both spiritually and physically. I continued cleaning other corners around the Chapel. I felt so grateful to Julia, who suffered pains for the conversi

I went to the place where my husband was staying. He was in bed alone and very sick. He also had many debts. Momentarily, I felt angry, but soon this was replaced with an overwhelming sense of pity. We came home together and the Blessed Mother gradually restored his health. I got my spouse back after 18 long years, thanks to the Blessed Mother and her love. "My dear children! Love even your enemies. If you live according to the love of God, you will be saved. These words of the Blessed Mother given to us through Julia were the medicine that gave our family a new life.

How can we say we love the Lord without loving our spouses, regardless of the situation? When I see his shortcomings, I realize they are truly my own shortcomings. My husband now looks like St Joseph to me, as the Blessed Mother is filling my ignorant mind with her love.
