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

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

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

Before I retired from my job, I prayed that our Lord will guide and direct me on what I should do next. By the grace of God, I was called to serve in the Finance ministry and from there as PPC chairperson of the Church of Divine Mercy.

It has been an eye opening experience. Everyday Our Lord teaches me humility and how to get things done His way and for His greater glory. In my previous working environment, I was all powerful with authority vested in my by my appointment. In my new role i… Read more

Our Lord is risen! Our Lord, Jesus Christ is risen indeed! Praise Him our Almighty Lord!

A second chance in life has taken me through a different journey with our Lord Jesus Christ. I used to be a Sunday parishioner, complacent and taking life for granted until that day, 18th September 2014. My experience with God has touched my life to witness how real and alive God is. I hardly had time for God but He was there with me when I had my heart attack.

Ignorantly, the last minor attack came … 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

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

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

My dad was diagnosed with cancer and his condition was very bad. The doctor had given him only a few months to live and he suffered all through the treatment. We prayed for strength and patience for him to endure the pain and suffering while waiting for God to heal him. Bit by bit he became well again, although he was near death almost 3 times and was given the final rites sacrament.

With God’s mercy and glory, he has been cancer-free for almost 15 years now. Thank you Lord Jesus. Thank yo… 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
