February 28, 2010
During an overnight prayer meeting in Naju on November 24, 2009, commemorating the fifteenth anniversary of Archbishop Giovanni Bulaitis's 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 made a trip to 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 will tell something [to] 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. 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 blood was seen in the little space between the Eucharist and Julia's tongue. 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. 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.
