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

It is the LORD!

All glory, power, honor, praise and thanksgiving be unto our God!

My wife Karen and myself were blessed with our first child, Ivana on 12 Feb 2016 after 5 years of marriage.

It has been an interesting journey for both of us as initially we thought of going for an IVF treatment. I was reluctant as I knew pretty well the church’s position on this matter and explained to my wife too. But not wanting to discourage Karen I agreed to just go for the consultation first. It t… 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 February 22nd 2015 some 20 pilgrims led by Fr. Martin headed to Poland to collect the 1st class relic of St Faustina. While there, they went on a week-long pilgrimage that included the birthplace of St John Paul II and also the concentration camp in Auschwitz among other Holy monuments and shrines.

Below are some of the reflections and testimonies from the group.

It was an AWESOME experience to stand on holy ground where the saints physically lived and gave their lives completely for … Read more

Our Church was celebrating its feast day, Divine Mercy Sunday on 27th April 2014. As I knelt down to pray before mass, my gaze was drawn to the tabernacle. My focus was on what looked like the letter P and I wondered what it meant. As I stared at it, I heard the Lord say to me, “I am truly present in the Eucharist. Every time you look at the P, I want you to remember that it is my real presence there”. Parish: Church of Divine Mercy (Penang) Read more

I don’t feel like going to the healing mass initially after a long day at work. The thought getting stronger when I saw Grab fare hikes was high. It was double the price that I usually grab to church. However, I still had to go because I have promised someone that I’ll be there! Healing mass started with praise and worship. The woman sitting next to me caught my attention. She was hopping and clapping with joy throughout the praise and worship. My heart sank for a while. I almost can’t re… Read more

I should have shared this testimony a few years back. I am not good with expressing myself, so I put it off until now. Moreover, the theme for this year’s (2015) Divine Mercy feast is Tried, Transformed, now Testify, so I have already shared my experience with my BEC.

6 years ago we sold our house in Paya Terubong and went house hunting. It must be Our Lord of Divine Mercy who led us to buy our current residence in Sungai Ara. The church was nearing completion at that time. After its opening… Read more

I would like to share a testimony I witnessed early last year (2014) in Cathedral of the Holy Spirit. My wife and I were attending some FLM functions during that time. After the function, as my wife developed neck pain, she asked Fr Bernard to pray over her. During that period, I was standing beside her. When Fr Bernard started the prayer by touching my wife’s forehead, she suddenly keeled over backwards so peacefully and gently. It was as if someone was supporting her from behind and gent… 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

Occasion where healing / miracle took place
At Healing Mass on 30 AUG 2014 at 10.00 a.m.

This morning, a loving couple fetched my wife Suzanne, daughter Mary and me for the Healing Mass at the CDM as we, like most people, needed healing. Immediately after Fr. Martin anointed Suzanne and me, we felt a great emotional feeling which was difficult to describe. And when Fr. Martin handed Suzanne the gift of the Divine Mercy in a frame, she just burst out in tears feeling that her prayers would b… Read more
