I wanted to share with you about a miraculous holy picture since early January 2014. By the way, we have all heard about the terrible and massive floods in the East Coast of Peninsula Malaysia towards the end of year 2013. After the floods subsided I went to celebrate Mass at St Philip Minh Chapel, Kemaman, Terengganu on 3rd January 2014.
I remember a holy picture of Our Lady of Perpetual Help framed with glass and placed on a small side altar at the chapel. To my knowledge it is more than 20 years old.
During the flood the water raised up to almost 7 feet. When the water seeped into the chapel, it damaged many things including this little altar. I was surprised to see this holy picture of Our Lady was saved. The framed glass and its wooden side altar were damaged badly but the holy picture was in good condition without much stains. Today, the icon of Our Lady is placed at the wall of the chapel without any frame.
"Dear Mother of Perpetual Help from the cross your Son Jeses gave you to us to be our Mother. You are the kindest, the most loving of all mothers. Look tenderly on us your children as we now ask you to help us in all our needs."
