An hour after he left our house to lecture at the hospital where he worked, I learnt that my husband, Segaran had suffered a stroke. Feelingstrangely detached, I went over to the image of the Divine Mercy and said, “Jesus, I trust in you” and to Mother Mary, it was simply to say, “Mother, you know what to do”.

It was a day after our 35^th wedding anniversary on the 5^th of October 2014. I messaged two wonderful friends who very quickly alerted our Parish priest, Father Martin, BECs and oth… Read more

Last year I was diagnosed with blockages in the heart. I prayed to Jesus, Divine Mercy and attended the novena to the Divine Mercy. I went for anointing and blessing.

At the next appointment to the doctors, I had an angiogram done and found that I no longer had any blockages. Praise the Lord for His mercies and miracles.

During my recent tour to Guilin (China) with my sister, I took a path less travelled. I hiked up to Longsheng rice terraces.

The terraced fields are built along the winding slopes from the riverside up to the mountain top, between 600-800m above sea level. A coiling terrace line starts from the foot of the mountain up to the mountain top dividing the mountain into layers of water in spring, layers of green rice shoots in summer, layers of rice in the fall and layers of frost in winter. The te… Read more

It was Friday 31st March 2017. For no reason in particular, I went over to my parish, CDM that morning. I was in front of the large image of the Divine Mercy when Catherine Lee one of our parishioners came along. I asked her if she was going to the Holy Land in December. Since she had been the previous year, she directed the same question to me. As I mulled over family commitments, time and financial constraints, I told her that I doubted if my husband, a non-Catholic would be interested since… Read more

I was a sinner and God in His Mercy called me to accept Jesus Christ as my saviour. After accepting Him in the year 1994, I became the beloved Child of God. God is always with me. When I need help I call on to Him and many, many of my prayers have been answered. Even though aches and pains and the misery of the world come my way, I always experience joy when I receive Jesus in Holy Communion. Holy Mass is healing and I love to go for mass. I would encourage everyone to go to daily mass and … Read more

When the dark clouds come rolling by,

Sending waves that touch the sky,

Tossing your boat, in the stormy tide of life,

You cried out “O Lord, do not leave me in vain,’

For you have been shunned, a leper and a misfit,

By your very own as in days of old.

Welcoming death you open your arms,

To embrace it,

But the good Lord, full of love and mercy,

Sends his grace and his strength,

To let you bear fruit, in abundance,

To be his missionary and carrier of the Good News,

Touching the hearts… Read more

I’m not one of those people who has visions or has witnessed fabulous miracles but I have always felt the quiet whisper of God in my ear. Most times it is to lead me do some task or take on a role that perhaps I may have struggled to accept. Today, I know that sometimes God doesn’t just whisper, HE sends messages loud and clear. Such was the case which happened recently to me, perhaps because in my case I was happily oblivious, maybe even deaf to His will for me. The month of June 2019… Read more

For over two years I had felt several lumps in my breasts that were sometimes painful. Incredibly I ignored them. In 2014, a mammogram done in Gleneagles Medical Centre revealed a total of seven lumps!

Filled with dread and fear, I attended mass in CDM during Holy Week focusing on the cross as Father Martin had urged us to do. I have often felt the power and presence of God in CDM. This time, I was especially frightened over the prospect of a surgical operation. As I was crying and praying to… Read more

Alleluia Alleluia! I adore you Father God, my Lord Jesus! My heart was fired with prayerful worship fragrance as I journeyed during the CDM Novena. As I knelt down in front of the Crucifix of my Lord Jesus at the altar, I felt my soul light up and reach the sanctuary of the Lord. Alleluia Alleluia! Praise Father God for his healing embrace, my Beacon of Light and my Refuge. Through Rev Fr Michael Raymond, His Holy Compassionate heart shines in my heart inspired by the Holy Spirit. Now with peace… Read more

It is the LORD!

All glory, power, honor, praise and thanksgiving be unto our God!

My wife Karen and myself were blessed with our first child, Ivana on 12 Feb 2016 after 5 years of marriage.

It has been an interesting journey for both of us as initially we thought of going for an IVF treatment. I was reluctant as I knew pretty well the church’s position on this matter and explained to my wife too. But not wanting to discourage Karen I agreed to just go for the consultation first. It t… Read more
