Patronazgo confirmed
The Bishops' Conference of Korea Sex Mole, Heart of Mary, as patronage of Beop@-@ dong. His official record also confirms the diocese, the foundation and the direction.
There is no Marian apparition linked to the site. This is a parochial dedication, different from the Korean churches of Daeya, Dongnae, Dunpo, Dunchon-dong and other communities under similar titles.
A parish founded in 1995
The community was erected 6 February 1995. Since then he has accompanied the Catholics of Beop-dong and the district of Daedeok.
His patronage invites that the growth of a community be measured not only by its activities, but also by the depth of listening and the quality of its links.
The heart in the Bible
In biblical language, the heart does not only designate feelings. It is the center of the person, where it is decided, remembered, discerned and responded to God.
To speak of the Heart of Mary means to contemplate her inner life unified by faith and oriented towards Jesus Christ.
Save and meditate
The Gospel of Luke presents Mary by preserving events and meditating on them in her heart. He doesn't understand everything right away, but he doesn't throw away what discloses her.
This attitude teaches not to react with precipitation, to listen before judging and to leave room for the Word to illuminate experience.
A heart through
Simeon announces that a sword will pass through Mary's soul. His heart does not remain protected from pain: it accompanies Jesus' destiny to the cross.
Devotion does not idealize suffering. It helps to stay close to the suffering and to transform compassion into protection, care and justice.
From silence to service
The interior of Mary is not isolation. After receiving the announcement, he is on his way to visit Elizabeth; in Cana he perceives a need and presents it to Jesus.
Authentic prayer leads to attention. A parish lives the Heart of Mary when it recognizes who is alone and organizes help without humiliating it.
A devotion centered on Christ
Paul VI asked that all Marian piety preserve biblical, liturgical and Christological orientation. Mary never replaces her Son nor becomes a separate term of faith.
His heart is a disciple: he receives the Word and leads to the fulfillment of God's will.
Play in a fast city
Urban life multiplies messages and sometimes reduces the time available to listen. Older people, young people and families can feel alone even surrounded by people.
Beop-dong can express his patronage by cultivating conversations without haste, spaces of silence and special attention to those who fail to make themselves heard.
Memory and reconciliation
Saving in the heart doesn't mean covering up the damage. Christian memory recognizes the wound, protects the victim and seeks a truth capable of opening up the future.
From Daejeon a heart can be asked of Mary not to dehumanize those who live across the border and to work for the reconciliation of Korea.

Beop-dong is a parish dedicated to the Heart of Mary, not a place of apparitions. The visit must respect veneration and community life.
Prayer to the Heart of Mary of Beop-dong
Mary, Mother of an attentive heart, keeps the parish of Beop-dong and the families of Daejeon. Teach us to preserve the Word, listen before judging and recognize the hidden pain. Make our prayer become service, protect those who suffer and form a heart in us capable of working for the truth, reconciliation and peace of all Korea. Amen.
