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

This is the story of a couple from India, who moved to Penang 7 years ago when the husband found work as a guard. They lived happily, having been blessed with two beautiful daughters now aged 5 & 6.

Many kind people around them including our CDM parishioners and Caritas helped with funeral arrangements, house rent, food and other basic necessities. All that the now widowed Selvi wan… 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

On May 29th 2016, at Sunday Mass; 10 minutes into the sermon by Fr. Martin at Church of Divine Mercy, I saw a halo around Father Martin from head to toe.

Father Martin was talking about the Eucharist: the significance and importance of partaking in the Eucharist in the Catholic Church. I was attracted to this glowing incessantly bright yellow light which outlined the periphery of the whole body.

The yellow light tapered to white light before it blended into the surrounding environment. Thi… Read more

I am sorry I cannot remember the actual date. It was sometime in early 2015. I was quite sick and feeling very down due to some personal and family problems. I was early for Mass on that day so the church was quite empty and quiet. I was sitting alone on the front pew- first row, praying quietly. When I pray I always have the habit of looking down and concentrate on my prayers.

Suddenly I heard a calm and clear voice saying “Look at the cross.” I was taken by surprise, I looked around, no… Read more

I was at the first Friday holy hr. on Oct 7th. Fr. was leading us into deep moments of prayer and contemplation. At one point he asked us to just gaze upon the face of Jesus and see the face of mercy. I looked at the cross and up at Jesus’ face. It gave me great peace and I just asked for his guidance. All at once it was as if instead of Jesus before me a mirror appeared in His place. I saw myself and the words of Jesus “become more like me….” Then a second image appeared. This time I was loo… Read more

I had been suffering severe migraine attacks over a period of 3 long months. The pain became so unbearable that my worried family wanted me to get an MRI scan to find the root cause. I was terrified that the doctors will indeed find something serious which I could not accept! After another night of terrible pain, I decided to attend healing mass on the 20/08/2022 at my parish, the Church of Divine Mercy, Penang. Our parish priest, Fr Michael Raymond invited us all to close our eyes and ‘s… Read more

Both incidences happened 20 years ago

1) At my work place

Part of my duties was to confirm and verify the chemical that the production line is using. An operator uses an electrical pump to pump the acid from a 200 gallon drum to a big storage tank. One day, during the process of transporting the acid, the pump hose somehow wasn’t locked properly. Acid burst out from the dislodged pump and it sprayed directly on to my wrist and down the lower part of my body.

Somehow, I didn’t panic. I sto… Read more

The following is our encounter and our experience which unfolded during the Holy Week and the Divine Mercy Novena. Although we were initially hesitant to share our story, we want to give Glory to God the Father. In mid-March 2023, our son, Jovial Bong, who is in his final semester diploma course informed us that the first payment for his degree course was due in one week’s time instead of a later date in September 2023. It happened that we were attending the ordination of Fr Raymond Jeremia… Read more
