I was already 43 when we got married and my husband was 54. We were open to having children, and we solely wanted God’s Holy Will in the matter as with everything else in our lives. Our prayer was “whatever glorified God”, whether it was to have children or not to have children. We left it all to God and placed all our trust in HIM and in HIS Mercy.
During a routine visit, our doctor suggested that if I wished to get pregnant, we should consult a fertility clinic and go through IVF. But we clearly did not want to go down that route and continued praying for God’s Will to manifest. We have decided to be happy with whatever the Lord wanted for our lives together.
On our first wedding anniversary, it was our most pleasant surprise to discover that and that I was pregnant. I conceived naturally.
TEST FOR DOWN SYNDROME
We were in New Zealand. As we progressed, our midwife arranged for a blood test and an ultrasound test to be carried out before the 14th week of pregnancy to test for disorders such as Down syndrome. Together, we decided that we will not have the test for Down syndrome because our child is a gift from God to us and we were happy to receive him as he is and it did not matter to us whether he had Down syndrome or any other condition.
On the final day before the 14th week, my husband remembered the Midwife saying that besides the Downs syndrome, the test would also reveal whether the child had other deficiencies such as lack of various vitamins and minerals so that supplements could be prescribed.
The timing was very crucial as the tests had to be carried out on that day itself because if the test were delayed, the results will not be accurate.
So instead of calling for an appointment, we discerned to hurry to the Sonographer’s office, only to find that the next available appointment was 2 weeks away. The receptionist insisted she couldn’t do anything and did not understand the ramifications of the timeline
We kindly requested to see the manager and although she understood our situation, she told us that all the Sonographers had left for the day. However, she very kindly led us to a waiting room and told us she would see what could be done to help us.
As we waited in the quiet waiting room, we entrusted our situation to God’s Mercy and discerned to pray the Chaplet of the DIVINE MERCY asking GOD to mercifully intervene in our situation.
We had not even finished praying the 1st decade when the manager returned and told us that she contacted the head Sonographer who had left for the day. On his way home he had stopped at the Japanese take away next door! And he was happy to return to perform the Ultrasound for us. We simply could not hold back our tears as we thanked GOD for HIS Merciful intervention. As we continued to wait, we carried on with praying the Chaplet for a favourable outcome of the ultrasound.
The ultrasound revealed that everything was progressing well and we continued to praise and thank GOD for HIS MERCY.
OUR BLESSED MOTHER MARY’S HELP
My frail parents could not travel from Singapore to be with us at this crucial time although they very much wanted to. We were told that it is good to have another support person in case my husband fainted. I prayed and asked the Lord who is to be there. The criteria were to have a woman who has had children of her own and is able to come at moment’s notice and someone I trust. A few of my women friends who are already grandmothers offered to come with me even though I didn’t even mention it. I was very grateful but needed to pray and let them know later. During my daily prayers, Our Blessed Mother Mary ‘appeared’ in my prayer time, she said to me “I had a child before, would you like me to come to be your support person?” She was so gentle in her approach, until then, I had never experienced such a personal encounter with Our Lady. And I couldn’t hold back tears and gladly said “Yes please!”
BEING PRAYED OVER
Our Parish community have been praying for us. During a regular Holy Hour of Adoration, I knelt down with my eyes focused on the Lord and prayed for everything to go according to His Holy Will. The doctors have been telling worst-case-scenarios and I just knew that all the more I need to focus on our Lord who is above all things. The celebrant priest held up the Blessed Sacrament to give the final blessing and to my surprise, proceeded down the altar towards me! He held the Monstrance right up to my belly and blessed my womb. I knew God is reassuring me.
At another time, the priest, Fr John Rea, with an international Healing Ministry, prayed over me with just 3 words “Speedy, Pain-free, Delivery”. When I went home, I wondered about the ‘pain-free’ part and have never ever heard of anyone who had a pain-free delivery. But, I prayed to God for me to trust that a Pain-Free Delivery can happen, simply because God can if He wants to!
The entire pregnancy was completely normal, healthy and trouble-free despite my husband and I being in the 'high-risk' age group. At the delivery suite, I could sense our Blessed Mother at the foot of the delivery bed. As in the old village days when all the women gather together, encouraging, coaching, and helping with the delivery. That’s how I felt her presence.
A healthy baby boy was delivered exactly on completion of 9 months and the entire delivery from the first contraction took 55 minutes. And was literally pain-free! In fact, my husband’s hand squeezing me was more painful than the contractions. Thanks be to God.
Our joyful child is turning 6 in July 2019. People who meet him comment on how bright and happy he is. We often marvel at how God fills in the gaps where we lack and how HE fathers our child better than we ever possibly can!
We prayed countless Chaplets of the Divine Mercy during my pregnancy. And even until today, it continues to prove what JESUS told St Faustina, "There is nothing you cannot obtain by praying the Chaplet" and that there is nothing God will not do when we place all our trust in HIM and in HIS MERCY.
Our constant prayer is for GOD's Grace and MERCY to be able to place all our trust in HIM and HIS MERCY.

DELIVERY FROM ADDICTION
Thank you very much for your prayers and Masses offered for my intentions.
I prayed for the deliverance of a loved one from addiction and for reconciliation betweenboth of us.
He has decided to get clean and has been sober for a few weeks and we have both reconciled. I owe these miracles to God's unfathomable mercy.

I THOUGHT I WOULD FAIL FOR SURE... I GOT DISTINCTIONS INSTEAD!
I want to thank the DIVINE MERCY JESUS for answering my prayers...here is my testimony
Last semester In my school was very depressing for me, I lost total confidence in myself, I sinned against God a lot so I thought he was punishing me. The first case was that one of the courses I wrote, I didn't write so well and I thought I would fail it, I was so sad that I lost confidence in the remaining exams..
Secondly, I didn't make up attendance for another course and I was told not to write but I wrote it anyway, then I missed out on a very serious excursion which has also marks allotted to it. I thought it was the end of the world because I needed to pass those exams before moving to the next level..I went home very sad and depressed,I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep, I was very worried..
But one day I went to the chapel to pray, I met people saying the Chaplet of Divine Mercy so I joined them, I prayed it since then for over one month now, I also went to the Blessed Sacrament and attended morning masses..I cried to God.
When the result came out, I cleared all my papers with distinction. I'm so overjoyed!
I believe in God and his Divine Mercy now.
MOST MERCIFUL JESUS I TRUST IN YOU. WHEN I SEE YOU I REJOICE.

I have been reading the testimonies in this website to cope up with my stress. Now, it is my turn to give my gratitude to OUR ALMIGHTY GOD. I want to Glorify Him for His swift helped and I can't thank Him enough for my prayers have been granted.
The first account was about the testimony how I was scammed on social media. Though I knew, I refused to accept the truth that the one I'm dating was a fraud. The breaking point for me was she started to intimidate and harassed me if she will not receive any financial help. I opened my small wallet and there I saw a picture of the Divine Mercy. I repeatedly prayed "Jesus, I TRUST IN YOU". The next morning, a stranger gave me a direct a message. She just wanted to know how I was. From there, I told her my story. She helped me realized a lot of things until I accepted the Truth that indeed it was a fraud.
The second testimony is when I Lost my ID. When I went out of the train, I realized it was not in my Bag. I was frustrated again since I need my ID to renew my passport. I prayed to God Almighty, The Blessed Virgin Mary, Padre Pio, Saint Anthony, Saint Francis to interceded for me. I was visualizing my ID will come back. I remember I put a picture of the Divine Mercy in my wallet. I told myself, I believe God will return my wallet. I remember reading testimonies of signs and wonders with the picture of Divine mercy in their homes. I believed it will return. I wrote a report to the MTA subway and 3 weeks later, I received a claim stub to get my ID. I was so happy that even though it is just my ID, I was so important to me and my Prayer was indeed answered.

Being an international student in Australia, you would require a COE (confirmation of enrolment in a course of studies,) basically without it you’re in violation of your visa requirements. Just last month in June (2018), my COE was cancelled by the university over some misunderstandings and had to report the cancellation to home affairs.
I was given 28 days to get a new COE or leave the country. I felt trapped because I hardly knew anyone here. So, for the first 2 weeks all I did was praying. I prayed the Chaplet of Divine Mercy every day since the day it was cancelled. Just when I was left with 7 days to get a new COE I was contacted by someone who would help. Exactly one month later my COE has been re-instated by the university. I did not have to leave or apply for a new visa. Everything has been sorted and I feel like I have been given a second chance to make everything right.
I prayed to God every day and I remember the first time I prayed the Divine Mercy prayer, before praying I was panicking, I was scared, but I remember two days into praying my heart felt at peace. I remember feeling relaxed despite facing the possibility of losing my visa, I remember feeling at peace. Because, I asked God to do what He felt was right, to do whatever HIS WILL was and that I would accept it. And I also prayed that if He may, to show me the way. I am so grateful for what The Lord did for me and continues to do for me because I believe it was a miracle.
So Praise be to God. I am so thankful and I know that this prayer really helped me. I'm not going to stop praying.

NO MORE TUBERCULOSIS AND GOOD SCHOOL SCORES
Praise the Lord. I have been writing to the Centre for Divine Mercy for the past 6 months to request for prayers for my son who is sick & suffering from Tuberculosis (TB). We recently had another scan done after 6 months and the reports showed that the infection is totally cleared! There is no trace of TB.
On top of this, my son scored 89% marks in his 10th standard, despite all health issues and difficulties. We request you to please continue to pray for him as he may get admission in good nearby college. Thank you.

One day, I was praying my regular Chaplet of the Divine Mercy when the Lord showed me in my heart who I was to pray for. As I kept praying “For the sake of HIS Sorrowful Passion,… Have Mercy on us and on the whole World” over each bead, names of various people came into my mind like on a ticker tape. At one point the name of a friend who is a devout Catholic appeared. As I prayed for him, the word ‘Pepsodent’ popped up repeatedly.
I didn’t know what ‘Pepsodent’ meant, but sensed it was the name of a product. Later, I visited the local shop and learnt that Pepsodent was a brand of toothpaste. I discerned to buy the biggest available family size pack and put it in my bag and forgot all about it. Several days later, I discovered the toothpaste and hurried to my friend’s house which was quite nearby. When I reached my friend’s house, I told him what happened while I was praying the Chaplet of The Divine Mercy and my friend’s eyes swelled up with tears.
My friend told me that the family’s toothpaste finished several days ago and had begun to prayasking the LORD for HIS provision as they did not have the money to buy. It became clear to us that they had started praying on the same day that the Lord showed me my friend’s name and also the name of their favourite brand of toothpaste and prompted me to buy it.
Together, we thanked GOD for His Love, Mercy and Faithfulness upon those who place all their trust in HIM. Thisfamily, relied upon GOD’s provision for all their needs and trusted GOD to even provide them with toothpaste.

EXAM STRESS? READ THIS.
The following is my testimony for my exam results. I believe that it is the Divine Mercy of the Lord in helping me to have my prayer answered: I am currently a postgraduate student. This short passage is written to encourage, comfort and motivate those who are feeling stressed and anxious during the examination period. In this aspect, I have an experience of mine which I have been truly helped by God.
About 1 month ago, I had the most terrible exam in my life. This course is one of my compulsory courses for my postgraduate studies. This means that I have to secure a decent grade in order to pass my first stage of postgraduate studies. However, during the exam, I felt really panicked because there are quite a handful amount of questions which I could not answer. What made me to feel more depressed was I had left quite a significant amount of questions unanswered. That was my first exam during the semester. During the whole exam period, I really felt depressed and weak while preparing for the other exams. Thus, I started to pray to God patiently and comfort myself by telling myself that God would decide the best for me. In the meantime, I had been praying the Divine Mercy, the Novena Prayer of St. Padre Pio, Prayer of St. Joseph of Cupertino [Patron Saint of Examination], and so forth for the saintly intercession of praying for me to achieve a good grade for that compulsory subject.
For me, it is just like praying for a miracle from God as I was asking to be blessed with a good grade when I had left quite a lot of questions unanswered. After 3 weeks, when I was preparing for another exam, I received an email telling me that the grade was out. Feeling anxious, I prayed again to the God before I opened the email. To my disappointment, I saw a grade of "D" along with my candidate number.
To be honest, there was a sense of disappointment because I expected it to be a little better as I have always been a high achiever. At the same time, I subconsciously did not blame God at all but instead of blaming myself that perhaps my lack of faith in God while praying could be the reason for this?
After some time, there was seemingly a voice telling me, "Are you sure that you remember your candidate number correctly?" Then, I rechecked my candidate number again, "Glory to God in the Highest!" I did remember my candidate number wrongly. Along with my actual candidate number, there was a grade of "A". For me, it is like the blessing and miracle from God. And I believe that as long as we remain faithful in Lord, any kind of prayers will work out as our faith is the main element to connect between us and Him. Thank you very much, Lord.

“Do not be afraid, I will take care of things and you will bless my name by humbling yourself.”
I attend the Divine Mercy Shrine in Keysborough regularly and have heard about ‘The Surrender Prayer’ and God’s faithfulness. So I started praying ‘The Surrender Prayer’ leaving all my problems to God and asking him to sort them out. That very same week I was diagnosed through a routine examination that I had uterine cancer, that the cancer was actually found so early is a miracle. I chose to tell only close family, friends, priest, nun, the ones I knew would pray incessantly for me.
I was told ‘you will be all right, surrender it to God and God’s faithfulness will not let you down’. I heard but did not believe any of those messages. Every day I was at the Shrine, praying, crying, or just being numb trying to understand.
Of course, I bargained with God, ‘God if you make sure that all the cancer is removed, I will shout it from the rooftop. If I have to have chemo or radiation, please help me to deal with it.’
Luckily all the cancer has been removed and had not spread. How am I going to shout it on the rooftop when I do not want anyone to know that I was sick. It is very very difficult for me to admit to anyone that I was a very sick person, but I did promise to God and I have to keep my word.
“Do not be afraid, I will take care of things and you will bless my name by humbling yourself.” These are the words of the Surrender Prayer.
So very humbly now I come to praise you God and to thank you for not forsaking me and my family during that difficult time. I thank all those who have helped with the prayers, the messages and St. Jacinta, an eight year old who was ready to be thrown in a cauldron of hot boiling water for the conversion of sinners- she made me feel so ashamed and gave me strength and confidence to go through my ordeal.
What did that episode of cancer teach me:
That the cancer was ever found through routine is a miracle
Lesson in humility, Surrender to God
Oh, Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything!”
God’s faithfulness -
Prayers do get answered. My cross carries me.
Thank you, God for being there for me and my family and for everyone’s prayers.

Divine Hand Stops fall ... serious injury prevented
This is my Testimony of our Lord Jesus God The Most High, Holy Spirit and to our Blessed Virgin Mother Mary of God within our Lord Jesus, God our Heavenly Fathers Holy Divine Mercy, His Mercy. I had concluded praying to Jesus and our Blessed Holy Trinity and to Holy Mother Mary Jesus' Divine Mercy Novena and The Most Holy Rosary in one of our Lords Catholic Parishes here.
I had been wearing old boots that were dilapidated and required replacement. I walked down a dozen steps outside our Lords Church without holding onto the railing approximately 5 weeks ago and was free falling down the steps after catching on the first step. I braced subconsciously for the heavy landing knowing that my head would hit the concrete very hard as my body sped up falling straight down to the base of the steps in front of traffic driving by. In horror I was wondering why this would happen right there. I repent regularly to Jesus daily and weekly from my heart in deep contrition.
As I reached the bottom, suddenly I was put back on both two feet by a strong Holy Presence standing with a sore ankle aching and standing absolutely stunned at what had happened never in my life previously have I been literally physically caught by Jesus, Holy Spirit and our Blessed Holy Mother in our Lord Jesus Holy Guardian Angels physically placed upon my two feet when I knew that what would have happened is nothing but horrifying consequences of falling uncontrollably down a dozen steps or more that were so steep.
Shaken I returned to the car and thanked Jesus and Holy Mother Mary profusely for saving me from a great deal of pain or being knocked out unconscious on the concrete in front of His Church. always say to Jesus in crises situations "Jesus Mary I Love You please Help me" and "Jesus I trust in You" and "O Blood and Water which gushed forth from The Heart of Jesus as a Fount of Mercy for us, I trust in You" in particular for the Conversion of People hearts.

Successful entrance to College
My son was not getting admission in fyjc in St. Xaviers College finally by prayers he got admission.
Safe labour and delivery of grandchild
I submitted a prayer request this morning. My daughter in law has previously had a miscarriage very late in term . She was pregnant again and having a lot of difficulties with second pregnancy. My daughter is also pregnant but only at 12 weeks with her first. My request was that the babies be born healthy and in God’s grace . At 10:20 pm today my daughter in law gave birth one week early to a healthy baby boy, with no difficulties in labor. I had also said the Ancient prayer to St Joseph, and prayers to the Holy Family. I thank with all my heart Jesus, Mary and Joseph for answering my prayers , of that I have no doubt. Jesus I Trust in You.

Hi, Jesus performed a miracle in my life and gave me everything that I desired. I immigrated to Australia and before landing to Australia. Jesus miraculously gave me a stable job. I settled quite nicely with the grace of the lord. I thank Jesus for the Divine Mercy showed upon me. This is one of the 100's miracles performed in my life. This is truly a miracle, because JESUS recommended me for the job. I truely believe Jesus wrote an email to my employer recommending me and I still have that email.

We had a situation where we needed around $10,000 to pay for a Government expense and other related expenses. We kept praying to God, and was led to pray a prayer of surrender, not to pray with desparation but with complete trust and abandonment. It wasn't easy to pray without worry, but we put in our best effort. Through a series of events, we now have the monies. We are very grateful to God and his mercy.

I had a nasty accident on the 2nd day of our holiday in Taupo before Christmas last year (2013). I became so depressed knowing that this accident was not only ruining my holiday but also that of my whole family. I thought that after my leg is put in a cast my family and I can carry on with our holiday. When I heard the doctor said that I broke my ankle in 2 places and that the break is very unstable and I needed surgery to put plates and screws to stabilize the ankle, my despair was so great. I had to be transferred to Rotorua hospital. My surgery did not happen until after 4 days of my admission to the hospital.
My constant source of relief was the chaplet that I recited whenever despair got hold of me. My rosary was one of the first things that I asked my husband to bring to me. I placed my complete trust on Jesus' mercy.
My devotion to the Divine Mercy of our Lord made my burden so much easier to carry knowing that He is helping me carry it. May The Lord give me the mercy I need for a full recovery.
Finally I need to mention this. If my accident did not happen, I would not have met all the wonderful people, nurses, doctors, paramedics, coast guard personnel and so many others, who in one way or another helped me and my family survive this ordeal. Thank you, Lord.
