When I prayed for my son who was studying for the priesthood in the seminary, the Lord heard and answered my prayers.

In 2005, my son gave me the Divine Mercy prayer book and requested me to say this prayer daily at 3:00 p.m. I prayed daily in the morning & evening but I did not say the Prayer of Divine Mercy.

Then, in 2007, when my son was pursuing his studies for the priesthood in the Singapore seminary, he asked for my prayers again. As per his request, from that day onwards, I start… Read more

On February 22nd 2015 some 20 pilgrims led by Fr. Martin headed to Poland to collect the 1st class relic of St Faustina. While there, they went on a week-long pilgrimage that included the birthplace of St John Paul II and also the concentration camp in Auschwitz among other Holy monuments and shrines.

Below are some of the reflections and testimonies from the group.

It was an AWESOME experience to stand on holy ground where the saints physically lived and gave their lives completely for … 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

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.

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

On the 14/2/2015, I attended Mass at the Church of Divine Mercy, Penang in conjunction with the World Day of the Sick. I received the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick besides the Eucharist. When Rev Fr Martin walked towards me for the anointing, I felt the Lord’s divine presence. My heart was telling me that it was the Lord and not Father Martin coming to meet me. I just knew it was Him.

Suddenly, I felt unworthy and didn’t dare look at His face whilst the prayers were being said together… Read more

Tuhan itu maha baik dan maha penyayang… seringkali kita mendengar mukjizat2 yg terjadi di sekeliling kita yang tanpa kita sedari suatu hari nanti mungkin kita akan beroleh mukjizat itu atas iman yang kita pertaruhkan dalam doa-doa yang kita sampaikan setiap masa, apatah lagi jika sebelum ini kita adalah insan atau seorang yang mungkin tidak serius dalam kehidupan rohani atau dalam pelayanan kita atau mungkin enggan menyahut panggilan Tuhan dalam tugas yang diberikan🌹Tanpa kita sedari kita te… 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

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

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
