| THE HOLY WATER IN NAJU FOUND TO HAVE
PURIFYING POWER
( Microbiologists in Hungary report after a year-long investigation)
Dear Julia,
It was with great pleasure that I received your Christmas wishes with
the message of the Blessed Virgin.
I would like to draw your attention to the third volume of the trilogy
of Naju containing twenty pages on the holy water. As you know, a number
of researchers have analyzed the holy water in the course of the last
decade of the past century. Budapest, my birthplace, has also joined in
these investigations since 1998.
On the occasion of my pilgrimage to Naju, I myself took some samples of
your water to my country. Several microbiologists have put themselves
to the analysis of the water with strongly encouraging results. My friends
at the National Center for Epidemiology in Budapest have maintained that
the research with the holy water was never tiresome and constantly led
them to unexpected discoveries.
Of course, scientific analyses require much time since it is necessary
to repeat them several times before definitive confirmation of the results
can be obtained. What we can say with certitude after a year of research
is that the holy water
from Naju stops such bacteria as salmonella, escherichia coli, yessinia
enterocholitica and cidrobacter freundii from propagating.
These initial results have been verified not only with the original water
from Naju but also with normal water to which a certain quantity of the
holy water has been added. A series of experiments has demonstrated that
upon simultaneously exposing a test tube of tap water and one of holy
water to sunlight for several weeks, algae become noticeable in the first
one three weeks before the phenomenon occurs in the second. Even so, the
holy water maintains its purity and odorlessness longer than the normal
water. Biologists and chemists are constantly at work to explore to what
degree the holy water of Naju possesses the power to purify contaminated
water, for example the water taken from a river.
Laboratory experiments executed in August 1998 demonstrated that just
one milliliter of the water from Naju purified to the original level 200
milliliters of tap water. Confirmation of these results is expected from
here at the end of January. Water beetles were found to be useful agents
in this process.
All this shows us that it is not our imagination which attributes these
forces to this holy water but that these are entirely real, even if it
is not always possible to give a definitive explanation.
It seems that the holy waters from all over the world have in common
the same scientific mystery and that it remains to us to hope that our
investigations in progress in Boston, Milan, Modena and, finally, in Budapest
will succeed in clarification of this mystery.
I hope that the Lord in His generosity will permit us one day by means
of our investigations to understand a portion of the great truth contained
in these holy waters.
With these thoughts I leave you, dear Julia, and unite myself to you
in your daily prayers so that we can triumph in the battles before us
in the year 2000 as our Holy Father also wishes.

Editor¡¯s Note;
The confirmation by scientific research of the
special qualities of the water in Naju and some other shrines around the
world is joyful news to us. Our Lord, with His infinite Goodness, has
endowed the world with so many wonderful gifts.
At the same time, it would be good to keep our focus on the Giver of these
gifts rather than on the gifts themselves. Our goal is to restore and
deepen a loving parent-child relationship between God and ourselves through
our repentance and constant effort to be more faithful to Him, to His
Teachings and Commandments. Some of the pilgrims have experienced miraculous
physical healings in connection with the water in Naju, but, needless
to say, the healing does not come from the water itself but from the Lord
through the Blessed Mother.)
