Then, a very powerful light radiated from the Crucifix and reached Julia. She fell down At about 1 p.m. on July 2, 1996, Fr.

While praying, Julia suddenly screamed heart, both hands, both feet and the side. While her mouth was open because of the and fell down on the floor. She received a powerful light from the Crucifix and suffered the same pains as on the previous day. Bleeding again occurred on both palms. Julia wore gloves to hide the bleeding, but the gloves became wet with blood. At about 4 p.m., Julia visited two hospitals in Kwangju in obedience to her spiritual director. Doctors examined her wounds and issued written statements that the bleeding and the wounds on Julia’s palms could not be explained by any natural causes. Bleeding stopped, and wounds disappeared later.

Comment

Our Lord performed many miracles during His public life on earth so that people may witness or hear about these supernatural signs and accept His teachings for their salva- tion.

To continue His Real Presence and Redemptive Work even after His Ascension and until the end of the world, Our Lord established His Church and entrusted His teachings and teaching authority to her. Especially since the 16th Century in Guadalupe, Mexico, Our Lord has been giving us amazing supernatural signs through His Mother so that we may not take His teachings and His Church for granted but obtain a true understanding of these teachings, practice them and be saved.

These supernatural signs of God through the Blessed Mother are now culminating in the small town of Naju on the Korean peninsula. While the signs continue, we can easily miss them or fail to understand where these signs are pointing to. Everyone has many impor- tant agenda while living on earth, but nothing can be more important and urgent than recognizing God’s signs, understanding their meanings, and doing what is expected of us, because our eternal life may depend on it. 6 MARY’S TOUCH
