[JOYnet] Unless you repent you will all perish (Luke 13.3).
Dear Friends, The sign of Cross on the forehead is the seal of the true Christian. It sets him apart from beast that has the sign, 666 (Rev. 20.4). On judgement day the seal will be laid bare and each one will be asked, "Where is your Sign?" Everyone found with the sign of Cross will be saved and those with the mark of the beast will be damned. The ordinary Cross of a Christian is integrated with Penance. "Unless you repent you will all perish"(Luke 13.3). There exist 5 common means of penance. They are. 1. Fasting 2. Abstinence 3. Almsgiving 4. Joyful obedience to the Will of God 5. Perfection of duties attached to ones state of life FASTING -- In the Fatima message, we are asked to fast every Friday in reparation for the sins committed against God. The devil is powerless against fasting. ABSTINENCE It refers to the non-eating of meat on certain days like Wednesday and Friday and other days prescribed by the Church. The physical weakness we experience during abstinence is the sacrifice we make to repair for the sins committed against God. For it is when I am weak that I am strong (2 Cor 12.10). ALMSGIVING Almsgiving is giving up to the poor or the needy an essential portion of what we have and not of what is in excess or surplus in our budget. In spite of their poverty, the Holy Family of Nazareth gave 30% of everything they had. It must have hurt their budget considerably, knowing that it was only St. Joseph, through his humble work as a carpenter, who provide for the family needs. If even in our want we continue to share with those who are in greater need, and if it leaves us hurting, then we experience the true meaning of the Cross of almsgiving. JOYFUL OBEDIENCE TO THE WILL OF GOD It is our resignation to accept with joy and openness the crosses God deems to send us. Jesus told us "No one who does not carry his cross and come after me can be my disciple" (Luke 14.:27) PERFECTION OF THE DUTY OF ONE S STATE OF LIFE --- It consisting of performing according to what our roles in life dictate. If we are married, then we should be a good mother or father to our children and a devoted spouse to our wife or husband. If we are in the religious life, whether priest or sister, then we must faithful to our vows or promises. Lastly if we are single then we must live in purity and work with diligence in our profession. According to Father Tanquerey to fulfill ones duty as perfectly as one can is to offer God the most perfect sacrifice within our giving, a perpetual holocaust, since this duty rests upon us from morning until night.

Re: [JOYnet] Dear God, Happy Valentines Day! - VD or CLD
Yes I agree with Sojan and Jason, in recent years Valentines day captured a special place in our hearts. For teens now it's more special than their birthday. Here in Cochin they are gearing up to celebrate their own day. Shops offers many gift items, cards etc. all gifts inscribed three sweets words "I Love You" This week love is in the air. Romeo and Juliet's are ready to burn their pockets, by arranging dance and dine star hotels making worth of this special day! Teen's slogan is 'go out and spend some qualitative time with those who matter':) Previous year was also very fabulous valentine celebrations here in Cochin. Before a week, teachers began to discuss about this day's specialty in their school since I was a new teacher there. I heard many adventure stories of our gals. We had a hot discussion about new trend. Senior most teachers sighed, their plight was they lost their chance to celebrate. At the peek of discussion, we 2-3 spinsters were asked to comment our experience We had nothing to say. One of our language teachers' very funny characters to break our silence asked whether we got cards and letters in any African language?? She was curious to know which language is used by these modern guys to express their love which can't be fully express in words! That day in personal prayer I shared all these lighter moments with Jesus too, I put forth the same question (that teacher asked to me) to him "Is it to be written in Hindi, English, Malayalm or in any African language?" After few days I received a mail from Shincy, 9th batch full timer placed in Ujjain. She never used to write to me. First part of the mail was ordinary. Second part she wrote it as a letter from 'Jesus to Priya.' I praise god for her imagination and talent to write like that. Letter began with the word 'Valentine'and continued as "I have called you by name you are mine.You are precious to me and because I love you and give you honour." Is 43/1-5. All sweet and soft words :) My eyes were wet because he taught me again that he even care my silly thoughts. And this year I am confident enough to tell my counter parts that I too have received a wonderful valentine letter, that too from Jesus Happy Valentines day & Enjoy it with Jesus :) Priya Cochin This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.

Dear Friends Let us congratulate Priya for she has transformed that boy with the powerful verses from the Bible and in the process she has won one more soul... Great indeed are your works O'Lord. Keep up the good work Priya. Give to others and god will give to you. Indeed you will receive a full measure, a generous helping poured in to your hands all that you can hold Luke 6:38-39 Friends, I have experienced the power of this very verses in my life several times. Whenever I have given alms even when I am running short of money or extended any other help, God has given me many folds in return.

[JOYnet] Life In the Spirit Seminar
Dear Joynetters, Thank u verymuch for ur prayers. Yesterday we completed our LSS (Life in the Spirit Seminar) programme in our community. Really these were the days we experienced the blessings of our Abba Father. All of us renewed ourselves and had a new God experience and we experienced the indewelling & overshadowing presence of the Holy Spirit. Some of the insights are, 1. Our love for people fall short when our expectations of others are not fulfilled. But God's love for us never falls short because He has no expectations from us;He knows fully well our past, present and future. 2. Every baptised christian is missionary. 3. We must be humble at heart so that our words, thought & deeds also become humble. The Holy Spirit being a spirit of humulity can be active only in such persons. 4. A person really filled with Holy Spirit, wherever he goes whatever he does or says only goodness will come like Jesus. 5. B I B L E - Behold, I Bring Life Eternal 6. Ignorence of Word of God is ignorance of Christ - St. Jerome. 7. Spiritual books only inspires us but Word of God transforms us. Now we are planning to start another LSS programme for the next batch. Remmber in ur prayers pls. lov Alexy & Shiney Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India _ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.

[JOYnet] 3 MIRACLES IN A DAY !!!!
Dear JYs Yesterday was a day which will always be etched in my heart forever. Once again the Lord showed us how much he take cares of us and that too in every minute detail that we take so much for granted. Miracle No. 1 == Recently we have been facing some financial shortage as my brother had given up his job to prepare for his Final B.Com Exams. But whatever situation it was we had surrendered all to the Lord. Yesterday we received a cheque from my Aunty in London. It seems when she came to know that my brother had given up his job, something moved within her and she felt she had to help somehow. My mother burst into tears when she saw the cheque. Miracle No. 2 == Last year my Mother and her Uncle (my grand uncle) had an argument on the phone regarding some family matters. The conversation ended with my Uncle telling my Mom that he never gave a damn to her even if she was buried in her grave and he will never speak to her again. My Mom was hurt. But after that conversation my Mom surrendered it all to the Lord. This Sunday my Mum decided no matter what to call him and ask forgiveness on her part. However it slipped her mind. Then yesterday in the morning again she decided to call him. But then her tution children came. Afterwards when she was free again she went to call when some guest dropped in. Finally my Mum prayed to the Lord and asked why these obstacles were coming. Hardly my Mum said that prayer, the phone rang. It was Mum's Uncle. He phoned to apologise for whatever he said to hurt my Mum. My Mum was lost for words. The Lord is really so wonderful. Miracle No. 3 === Yesterday morning as usual I decided to sit for my personal prayers in the Morning. Hardly did I start praying that all of a sudden I felt the urge to run to the toilet. I felt this was some of kind of disturbance from Mr. Onida Uncle ... hehe so I tried to remain. But the urge was so much that I decided to give in. When I was coming out I noticed some smoke outside my Bathroom window. Since I reside above two restaraunts it was obvious that something must be really cooking. However when I reached the kitchen window I saw that the area outside my kitchen window at a small distance was on fire. As there was some garbage thrown there, someone had thrown a lighted cigarette which cause the flame to burn. Below the place which caught fire the waiters of the restaraunt resided. I rushed immediately to the window and started calling out to them. Finally someone felt the heat inside and came up. I told him what happen. Meanwhile the people on the floor above me started peeping. I asked them to throw water immediately. They started pouring water. Meanwhile the person from below climbed up and dosed the flame. I praise God for interupting my prayers and saving my building from a fire which had just started licking itself on some heavy rugs and papers. The fire was put off before it could reach any wires.
