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

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

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

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

On May 29th 2016, at Sunday Mass; 10 minutes into the sermon by Fr. Martin at Church of Divine Mercy, I saw a halo around Father Martin from head to toe.

Father Martin was talking about the Eucharist: the significance and importance of partaking in the Eucharist in the Catholic Church. I was attracted to this glowing incessantly bright yellow light which outlined the periphery of the whole body.

The yellow light tapered to white light before it blended into the surrounding environment. Thi… Read more

For the past two years I had a persistent blocked nose due to constant sneezing and also a runny nose. As a result, I had difficulty in breathing. I had to breathe through my mouth, especially during the night. Whenever I woke up in the middle of the night, my mouth would get very dry and painful. I had seen an ENT specialist twice and he prescribed a steroid spray with some medication, but I did not get any better.

On Feb 14, 2015, I decided to go for the healing mass for the sick at the… 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

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
