Before my baptism in 1982, I was a lost soul, an emotional physical wreck, seeking answers to the mountainous problems creeping into my life.

God led me to him thru the little sisters of the poor and after baptism i was resolved to learn more about my faith, plunging myself to the many ministries in the church, for I believe anything under the umbrella of the church, must be beneficial to its members. From ME 4 to SSVP and later to commentating and reading the Word of God, I grew in my faith … 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

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

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

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

Due to my irregular heart beat, I was given a new medication in the year 2014. After taking that new medication, I started to develop blood in urine, a condition known as Haemeturia. The doctor prescribed another alternative medicine but the bleeding started again, for about 60 hours non-stop.

I continued praying to the Divine Mercy for healing. All this time, I have been praying for Christ’s mercy for the medication to be suitable for me.

In late December, I decided to attend mass and t… Read more

A blessed day to all!

Ever since I was a young and innocent boy, I have always prayed to God to grant me a chance to meet my future spouse. In life’s journey, no matter what problems or issues we have, we can always offer it, be it our experiences, ordeals or setbacks. After a decade, 5 months and 17 days, my prayers were answered.

She was perfectly made in His image indeed. The morning after, I woke up from bed crying like crazy. It was as if all my brokenness has been lifted, without bli… Read more

It was Friday 31st March 2017. For no reason in particular, I went over to my parish, CDM that morning. I was in front of the large image of the Divine Mercy when Catherine Lee one of our parishioners came along. I asked her if she was going to the Holy Land in December. Since she had been the previous year, she directed the same question to me. As I mulled over family commitments, time and financial constraints, I told her that I doubted if my husband, a non-Catholic would be interested since… Read more

I went for this healing Mass for women on 13th March 2014 at CDM, Penang, with kind of reluctance because I was too tired from work but my mom was looking forward to it. Just as the Praise & Worship started I felt all my tiredness and weariness just left me. I must continue to pray Persistently & Patiently with God’s answer as said by Fr Martin Arlando. Fr Martin asked us to pray along with him ofa most beautiful prayer and in the midst of saying the prayer, Jesus spoke to me saying that all t… 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
