10th Dec 2017, was the 8th day of our pilgrimage in the Holy Land and we were slated to follow the path of Jesus to carry the cross on the Via Dolorosa. We broke into smaller groups so that we could all take turns carrying it. My husband who is much taller than me carried the front of the wooden cross while I and a few others took the remaining part. Despite so many of us carrying it, I felt the weight of the cross on my upper arm which started to ache badly. I couldn’t wait for the next gro… Read more

This Holy Thursday, 17^th April 2014, I was intent on spending one hour in adoration instead of the hurried minutes I had spent in all the previous years. The ambience after mass was perfect when the lights were dimmed in the Church of Divine Mercy, Penang and the solemn voice of our parish priest, Father Martin came through, inviting all present to spend one hour with the Lord.

I didn’t really know what to do or say so I started with praise and thanksgiving for all the blessings I had receive… Read more

The location of the Jesus image

It was Maundy Thursday April 2nd 2015. My sister, Elizabeth and I normally spend a quiet few moments after Mass and leave before midnight, but this time, we waited for my son, Vijay to join us after work.

Upon entering the Church, I was taken in by the ambience. All the lights were switched off except for the light on the Blessed Sacrament. Together with the simple floral arrangement, the ‘cave like” effect brought me to Jesus’ time.

As I was looking … Read more

God works in mysterious ways… Like me, I am sure many came for the weekend family formation with their own expectations. Would we be getting a series of tips and dos and don’ts? Formulae for happy families or more? While I certainly didn’t get the expected package…I believe God knew how to minister to each of our individual needs in His own miraculous way. The charismatic and spirit-filled formation leaders in the husband and wife pair of Darren Michael and Anna Coelho if nothing els… Read more

Before I retired from my job, I prayed that our Lord will guide and direct me on what I should do next. By the grace of God, I was called to serve in the Finance ministry and from there as PPC chairperson of the Church of Divine Mercy.

It has been an eye opening experience. Everyday Our Lord teaches me humility and how to get things done His way and for His greater glory. In my previous working environment, I was all powerful with authority vested in my by my appointment. In my new role i… 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

I should have shared this testimony a few years back. I am not good with expressing myself, so I put it off until now. Moreover, the theme for this year’s (2015) Divine Mercy feast is Tried, Transformed, now Testify, so I have already shared my experience with my BEC.

6 years ago we sold our house in Paya Terubong and went house hunting. It must be Our Lord of Divine Mercy who led us to buy our current residence in Sungai Ara. The church was nearing completion at that time. After its opening… Read more

I would like to share my experience of the benefit of attending BEC. I am from BEC St. Mark 1.

In June 2014, I had a rude shock when my 12 year old daughter went into depression, she was bullied in school and isolated by her teachers, and she felt as if no one loves her. She was afraid of being herself in crowd. She didn’t want to mix with anyone. She lost her self-esteem. She would cling to us, parents and the more I try to help her, the more depressed I became and slowly, I started to f… Read more

I had been suffering from backache for some years and in 2012, an unbearable burning pain progressed to my hips, thigh and knee which rendered me incapable of getting out of bed or to walk normally.

I was admitted to hospital and treated for pain without any improvement and after 5 days, I was discharged without finding out the cause of my problem. In January 2013, I sought a second opinion where an MRI revealed osteoarthritis with nerve compression and was again treated. The pain and burning… Read more

My name is Joyce and I am 32 years old. I was not a Christian until 3 years ago. Since secondary school I had a friend and teacher talk to me about Christ. I have even followed them to Church once in a while. I believed in the existence of God but my belief in Jesus wasn’t strong and I did not follow Him.

My turning point happened 4 years ago. My aunt and uncle both died of colon cancer. I saw them suffer a lot during that period. Then, my father was diagnosed with nose cancer and during the… Read more
