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

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

I was a sinner and God in His Mercy called me to accept Jesus Christ as my saviour. After accepting Him in the year 1994, I became the beloved Child of God. God is always with me. When I need help I call on to Him and many, many of my prayers have been answered. Even though aches and pains and the misery of the world come my way, I always experience joy when I receive Jesus in Holy Communion. Holy Mass is healing and I love to go for mass. I would encourage everyone to go to daily mass and … 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

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

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

He has changed my life a lot. He has come into me and given me new hope.

When I pray, he comes into my answers, in my thoughts and my dreams.

When I get into trouble, he is there to save me.

I keep him in my prayers all the time. I never forget him because in my life, he has brought lots of help and I trust in Him.

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

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

I have been married to my wife Daina Sulimin for more than 18 years (she’s a Catholic from Sabah). Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think that I will be accepting Christ & giving my testimony. In fact, I’m a stubborn husband and a staunch Buddhist. I have once told her sarcastically that, “I want to marry you, but not your religion”. I’m not sure how many men dare to say this to your future wife! Please don’t ahhh! ”. She should have asked me to read (1 Corinthians 7: 1-40; About Marriage).… Read more
