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 started to pray the Divine Mercy prayers for him daily at 3:00 p.m. until the day he was ordained. Yes, the Lord heard my prayers and on 29th August 2011, my son was ordained as a priest.

There were no words to describe the happiness and the joy I felt on that particular day. FYI, he is none other than your parish priest, Fr Martin. My prayers of thanksgiving goes to the Divine Mercy.
