[JOYnet] Gifts! The best of them all!
Hi friends, Gifts! The word itself resonates the message of love. It's all the more exciting when we receive a gift from someone we love. One time or another, everyone of us has received gifts, and gifted something to our loved ones. We deem as priceless those gifts that are lovely and beloved and those that we receive from our closest ones. Our Father gave the world a wonderful gift 2000 years ago. That, by far, is the Greatest Gift ever made. That's our Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus has, over the course of time, given us many a blessing. Of late, He has blessed me with a wonderful gift, the best I could ever hope for. Is it the best gift I could ever receive? Well, what better gift can I ever have than my Susha? --- Jobi Varghese, Bangalore, India E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.

Re: [JOYnet] reply to Shija's doubt#2- Why pray to Mother Mary
Why we pray through Mary when we can do it directly through Jesus? When giving Mother Mary to 'the disciple he loved' the Lord said to him, 'Behold thy mother!' (John 19:25 to 27). He does not say behold 'my mother'(Lord's mother), but says 'your mother (as John's own mother).' Jesus asks the disciple he loved i.e to John the son of Zebedee to take Mary the Lord's mother (Lk 1: 43) as the disciple's own mother, even though we see in the Bible that John already has a mother if his own. This instance in Jn 19:25 to 27 is symbolic of the Lord giving His mother own mother to those of his disciples whom he loves. He gives her to them (us) as our own mother. When the Lord gifts us with His mother asking us to take her as our own mother do we ignore Him or do we take her unto our own home like the disciple John did. So in John 19: 25 - 27 Jesus gives Mary as the mother to all those whom He loves. She is the second Eve. Mother Mary does have a place in every disciples lives and homes. It is something given to us by the Lord Himself to follow. Now as to praying to God through our mother. When praying to our mother it a child speaking to his mother. We share. And she does answer. She has appeared in many places with the only intention that she loves her children and does not want them to perish. Can a child keep away from talking to his own mother. Praying directly to God has it's results. But, we also know that the prayer of a sinner is not fully acceptable to God. So, sinners as we are when we pray directly we have no assurance that our prayers will be answered. But we have St. James telling us that 'The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.(James 5:12). And those of us who have enjoyed the fruits of such prayers know from experience that Mother Mary and the saints will not discard our prayers. Hoping that this has been of use to some, by the grace of God. Regards in Christ Jesus, Samji / Dubai _ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp.

Re: [JOYnet] NANDITAS QUESTION
greg dsilva [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dear Nandita, From my end I will definately say that it is not whether the Church should change with the changing times,but The Church is changing with the changing times. There are so many things which can be observed as compared to the past. 1)As a child I remember the priest offering mass by facing the main alter.Today he faces the people. 2)The Holy Eucharist was celebrated in latin only.Today the church has changed its attitude towards this and so we find that if you go to gujarat the mass is celebrated in Gujarati.In Goa it is in Konkani and so on. 3)In the past on Good Friday people mostly would dressup in black.Today the church is emphasizing that it is not a day to be sad but instead to be happy because it is due to good friday that the doors of Heaven were opened and Easter Sunday followed. 4)Alowing Lay people to distribute Holy Communion. Earlier only consecrated hands were supposed to touch the Tebernacle. 5)Fulfilling the obligation i.e. Sunday Mass. Today the church allows you to go for Mass on Saturdays to fulfill your Sunday obligation. 6)Today even if you attend a funeral mass on Sunday,or a mass celebrated for christening,you need not go for a special or routine mass held as per church timings on that Sunday. 7)In Goa most of the churches have the Passion of Christ celebrated during Lent with the statue of Christ posing in different forms thus giving us a deeper meaning and understanding of the sufferings undergone by christ for our sake.But today the new churches built in Goa and are doing away with this system,all because the church has decided to change with the present times. 8)Having death anniversary masses and blessing of the graves is now restricted to the first year only.So much so that the church discourages to offer masses for the dead with the title like third death anniversary or say fifth death anniversary and so on,but instead the church says this mass is offered for the soul of so and so. 9)Distributing Holy communion on the palm rather than the tongue is a vital change. 10)Priests are given the facility to move around like civilians with pants,shirts and t-shirts.(The choice being totally of the priest)as compared to the past when we always found them with cassocks. 11)Nuns are also given the facilty to change to sarees and skirt-blouses. 12)Earlier if a nun had to leave her congregation she had to wait after intimation of her desire,till it was confirmed by the Pope.Today she can just intimate and leave.No need to wait. So Nandita,I think I have expressed quite a bit and to cut short I would like to say BYE,but before that I would like to tell you that a Cynod has taken place in Goa last month almost after 50 years.One of the aspects of the Cynod was to discuss the various changes required by the Church for the benefit of laity.

Sharing a moment, in His name! Subject: Lord's Prayer During the next 60 seconds, stop whatever you are doing, and take this opportunity. (Literally it is only 1 minute). All you have to do is the following: You simply say The Lords Prayer for the person that sent you this message - Our Father, who are in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name, Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day, our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from all evil. For Thine is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Glory, forever. Amen. Stop and think and appreciate God's power in your life, for doing what you know is pleasing to him. Jesus said, If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you before My Father. Yes, I love my God. He is my fountain of Life and My Savior. He Keeps me going day and night. Without Him, I am no one. But with Him, I can do everything. Christ is my strength.

[JOYnet] Philippians 1:29
For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for him... -- Philippians 1:29 Suffer! How is suffering a privilege? IT'S NOT unless it is for Jesus. Remember how the early apostles were joyful because they were counted worthy to suffer for the name? (cf. Acts 5:41) You see, he suffered for us so we could be saved. When we face suffering for the cause of Christ and his Kingdom, we help inspire others to live faithfully in adversity and show to all the genuineness of our faith. So few have anything worthy of their living, dying, or suffering. We have reason for all three: our lives will be caught up in Jesus' victory! (cf. Rom. 8:32-39; 1 Cor. 15) This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.

Re: [JOYnet] WHAT ACCORDING TO YOU IS INTIMACY WITH CHRIST ? ? ? - From Welchy
- Original Message - From: Welchy Fatima Fernandes To: JASON:) Sent: Monday, March 11, 2002 5:58 PM Subject: Re: [JOYnet] WHAT ACCORDING TO YOU IS INTIMACY WITH CHRIST ? ? ? Intimacy with Christ for me is being MY VERY SELF with HIM (without any sort of mask) I don't have to pretend with HIM ..i dont have to hide my true feelings I can be what ever i want to !!!.. i can cry when i am down ,i can laugh when i am up ,I can smile when i am feeling good i can frown when i am not feeling too good!!! COS HE loves me as I am In fact I do a lot of talking with my Jesus ..that's what are prayers to me . I tell him abt a Virus in my comp ..he takes care of my data .When i am struggling with something .I just ask Him HE works there too. In fact, HE is so concerned of a careless person like me, that whenever I keep losing my things ...i just have to call on HIM to find me the same . Isnt our Good Lord so very casual ??? I really feel like a little Babe in HIS strong arms .. Here is a verse that usually peps me up Matthew 18:3 And he said: I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
