The following is our encounter and our experience which unfolded during the Holy Week and the Divine Mercy Novena. Although we were initially hesitant to share our story, we want to give Glory to God the Father. In mid-March 2023, our son, Jovial Bong, who is in his final semester diploma course informed us that the first payment for his degree course was due in one week’s time instead of a later date in September 2023. It happened that we were attending the ordination of Fr Raymond Jeremia… 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 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

I was at the first Friday holy hr. on Oct 7th. Fr. was leading us into deep moments of prayer and contemplation. At one point he asked us to just gaze upon the face of Jesus and see the face of mercy. I looked at the cross and up at Jesus’ face. It gave me great peace and I just asked for his guidance. All at once it was as if instead of Jesus before me a mirror appeared in His place. I saw myself and the words of Jesus “become more like me….” Then a second image appeared. This time I was loo… 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 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 had been suffering severe migraine attacks over a period of 3 long months. The pain became so unbearable that my worried family wanted me to get an MRI scan to find the root cause. I was terrified that the doctors will indeed find something serious which I could not accept! After another night of terrible pain, I decided to attend healing mass on the 20/08/2022 at my parish, the Church of Divine Mercy, Penang. Our parish priest, Fr Michael Raymond invited us all to close our eyes and ‘s… Read more

This is the story of a couple from India, who moved to Penang 7 years ago when the husband found work as a guard. They lived happily, having been blessed with two beautiful daughters now aged 5 & 6. Disaster struck a few months ago when the 42-year-old husband suffered a massive heart attack and passed away. Many kind people around them including our CDM parishioners and Caritas helped with funeral arrangements, house rent, food and other basic necessities. All that the now widowed Selvi wan… Read more

I went to attend CDM “What is Christmas” Musical on 17th Nov 2019. Before the show starts, I have a vision of Jesus smiling looking at me, the eye is full of love, it is in pastel color of blue and pink, but I just ignore because I thought that it is just illusion from the big LCD screen which it continues to project the picture of Divine Mercy Jesus. On 30th Nov, when I attended the Formation of “love me love me not”, the same Jesus smiling image appeared in my vision during t… 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
