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

I always pray for my daily needs and that of my family. My prayers are always answered and our needs are always provided for. Every morning before I leave my house, I pray one Our Father and one Hail Mary to the angels and saints in heaven for my safety and protection on the road. Jesus always answers my prayers – Amen

I would like to share an incident where I felt I was touched by Jesus during a road accident with another car on 27/3/2014. The front portion of my car was smashed. My chest wa… 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

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

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

I would like to share a testimony I witnessed early last year (2014) in Cathedral of the Holy Spirit. My wife and I were attending some FLM functions during that time. After the function, as my wife developed neck pain, she asked Fr Bernard to pray over her. During that period, I was standing beside her. When Fr Bernard started the prayer by touching my wife’s forehead, she suddenly keeled over backwards so peacefully and gently. It was as if someone was supporting her from behind and gent… Read more

I don’t feel like going to the healing mass initially after a long day at work. The thought getting stronger when I saw Grab fare hikes was high. It was double the price that I usually grab to church. However, I still had to go because I have promised someone that I’ll be there! Healing mass started with praise and worship. The woman sitting next to me caught my attention. She was hopping and clapping with joy throughout the praise and worship. My heart sank for a while. I almost can’t re… 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

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. Disaster struck a few months ago when the 42-year-old husband suffered a massive heart attack and passed away. 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

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
