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

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

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

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

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

In 1996, I contracted a disease that baffled the doctors. It started with a sudden high fever and I gradually lost my ability to walk. The pain when my feet touched the ground was so excruciating that it felt as if my bone would shatter into pieces. I was admitted to the hospital where the doctors suspected an autoimmune disorder that had caused my body to shut down. I developed rashes all over my legs and my blood infection level kept increasing at a very alarming level. The rashes began to… 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

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’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

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
