My dear brothers & sisters in Christ,

My ordeal began with a sudden sharp pain on my left wrist as I was taking out my purse in September 2002. The slightest movement just made it worse and I couldn’t sleep at night despite taking pain killers.

The orthopaedic specialist at first diagnosed tendonitis and prescribed medicine and physiotherapy. He later said that it was a degenerative disease but the MRI finding showed a traumatic cause (even though I did not fall or injure myself). As the … 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

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 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

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

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

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

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

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 visited Mother Mary’s shrine in Ladang Sg. Batu on the 6th of May 2014. One of the petitions that I placed at the shrine was for my nephew and his wife to be blessed with a child and many more.

In my petition, I wrote to Mother Mary that I believed that nothing is impossible with God and that it was my fervent hope to receive good news regarding my petition.

Today, 9th April 2015, I received the wonderful news that my nephew’s wife is expecting their first baby. Thank you Mother Mary f… Read more
