Experiencing His Divine Presence
On the 14/2/2015, I attended Mass at the Church of Divine Mercy, Penang in conjunction
with the World Day of the Sick. I received the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick besides the
Eucharist. When Rev Fr Martin walked towards me for the anointing, I felt the Lord’s divine
presence. My heart was telling me that it was the Lord and not Father Martin coming to
meet me. I just knew it was Him.
Suddenly, I felt unworthy and didn’t dare look at His face whilst the prayers were being said
together with the anointing. I felt lost in a Divine embrace as though there were only two of
us and no one else.
After the anointing, as Father Martin walked away, I started to sob uncontrollably. I wept
and wept for my suffering as I recalled Fr Martin’s homily that Jesus is weeping with me. He
must have touched the core of my being as I certainly did not plan to cry at all when I
arrived at CDM. It was a strange and yet beautiful experience which deepens my desire to
love Jesus more and more.
