[JOYnet] Call No Man Father?
Hello again. I'm back again with something I found from Catholic.com about the topic put forward by Fr. Thomas as to why we Catholics we call our priests 'father'. Call No Man Father? Many Protestants claim that when Catholics address priests as father, they are engaging in an unbiblical practice that Jesus forbade: Call no man your father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven (Matt. 23:9). In his tract 10 Reasons Why I Am Not a Roman Catholic, Fundamentalist anti-Catholic writer Donald Maconaghie quotes this passage as support for his charge that the papacy is a hoax. Bill Jackson, another Fundamentalist who runs a full-time anti-Catholic organization, says in his book Christians Guide To Roman Catholicism that a study of Matthew 23:9 reveals that Jesus was talking about being called father as a title of religious superiority . . . [which is] the basis for the [Catholic] hierarchy (53). The Answer To understand why the charge does not work, one must first understand the use of the word father in reference to our earthly fathers. No one would deny a little girl the opportunity to tell someone that she loves her father. Common sense tells us that Jesus wasnt forbidding this type of use of the word father. In fact, to forbid it would rob the address Father of its meaning when applied to God, for there would no longer be any earthly counterpart for the analogy of divine Fatherhood. The concept of Gods role as Father would be meaningless if we obliterated the concept of earthly fatherhood. But in the Bible the concept of fatherhood is not restricted to just our earthly fathers and God. It is used to refer to people other than biological or legal fathers, and is used as a sign of respect to those with whom we have a special relationship. For example, Joseph tells his brothers of a special fatherly relationship God had given him with the king of Egypt: So it was not you who sent me here, but God; and he has made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house and ruler over all the land of Egypt (Gen. 45:8). Job indicates he played a fatherly role with the less fortunate: I was a father to the poor, and I searched out the cause of him whom I did not know (Job 29:16). And God himself declares that he will give a fatherly role to Eliakim, the steward of the house of David: In that day I will call my servant Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah . . . and I will clothe him with [a] robe, and will bind [a] girdle on him, and will commit . . . authority to his hand; and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah (Is. 22:2021). This type of fatherhood not only applies to those who are wise counselors (like Joseph) or benefactors (like Job) or both (like Eliakim), it also applies to those who have a fatherly spiritual relationship with one. For example, Elisha cries, My father, my father! to Elijah as the latter is carried up to heaven in a whirlwind (2 Kgs. 2:12). Later, Elisha himself is called a father by the king of Israel (2 Kgs. 6:21). A Change with the New Testament? Some Fundamentalists argue that this usage changed with the New Testamentthat while it may have been permissible to call certain men father in the Old Testament, since the time of Christ, its no longer allowed. This argument fails for several reasons. First, as weve seen, the imperative call no man father does not apply to ones biological father. It also doesnt exclude calling ones ancestors father, as is shown in Acts 7:2, where Stephen refers to our father Abraham, or in Romans 9:10, where Paul speaks of our father Isaac. Second, there are numerous examples in the New Testament of the term father being used as a form of address and reference, even for men who are not biologically related to the speaker. There are, in fact, so many uses of father in the New Testament, that the Fundamentalist interpretation of Matthew 23 (and the objection to Catholics calling priests father) must be wrong, as we shall see. Third, a careful examination of the context of Matthew 23 shows that Jesus didnt intend for his words here to be understood literally. The whole passage reads, But you are not to be called rabbi, for you have one teacher, and you are all brethren. And call no man your father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven. Neither be called masters, for you have one master, the Christ (Matt. 23:810). The first problem is that although Jesus seems to prohibit the use of the term teacher, in Matthew 28:1920, Christ himself appointed certain men to be teachers in his Church: Go therefore and make disciples of all nations . . . teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. Paul speaks of his commission as a teacher: For this I was appointed a preacher and apostle . . . a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth (1 Tim. 2:7); For this gospel I was appointed a preacher and apostle and teacher (2 Tim.

Re: [JOYnet] POPE TO ADD NEW MYSTERIES TO THE ROSARY
wow!wonderful news if its true love milan changanasserry/kerala/india sindhu wrote: POPE TO ADD NEW MYSTERIES TO THE ROSARY VATICAN, Oct 14, 02 (CWNews.com) -- Pope John Paul II will release an apostolic letter on devotion to the Virgin Mary on October 16-- the anniversary of his election to the pontificate-- according to informed Vatican sources. Leaks from the Vatican, in anticipation of the document's release, suggest that the Pope will introduce five new mysteries to the Rosary. The five new mysteries, the luminous mysteries, will focus on the public life of Jesus Christ, Vatican sources say. They will be: the Baptism in the Jordan, the temptation in the desert, the proclamation of the Kingdom, the Transfiguration, and the entry into Jerusalem. The Rosary is a traditional Marian devotion, popularized at first by St. Bernard, later by the Dominican order, and still later by St. Louis Marie Grignon de Montfort. The Rosary is composed of five joyful mysteries (which are recited on Mondays and Thursdays), five sorrowful mysteries (recited on Tuesdays and Fridays), and five glorious mysteries (Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays.) The five new mysteries would reportedly be used on Saturdays. - I got this info from www.ewtn.com [demime 0.99c.8 removed an attachment of type image/jpeg which had a name of JPII_praying_small.jpg] This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.

Its so beautiful. http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/john_paul_ii/apost_letters/documents/hf_jp -ii_apl_20021016_rosarium-virginis-mariae_en.html http://www.ewtn.com/news/NewsFrames.htm there is a correction reg the name of mysteries from that i sent yesterday. and also the day it is to be said..it is thursday not saturday...i appologise with EWTN..!!! For those who have little time today atleast read the essence of new mysteries attached at the end. ENJOY... In joyful communion , Sindhu, Chicago,USA. The Mysteries of Light Moving on from the infancy and the hidden life in Nazareth to the public life of Jesus, our contemplation brings us to those mysteries which may be called in a special way mysteries of light. Certainly the whole mystery of Christ is a mystery of light. He is the light of the world (Jn 8:12). Yet this truth emerges in a special way during the years of his public life, when he proclaims the Gospel of the Kingdom In proposing to the Christian community five significant moments - luminous mysteries - during this phase of Christ's life, I think that the following can be fittingly singled out: (1) his Baptism in the Jordan, (2) his self-manifestation at the wedding of Cana, (3) his proclamation of the Kingdom of God, with his call to conversion, (4) his Transfiguration, and finally, (5) his institution of the Eucharist, as the sacramental expression of the Paschal Mystery. Each of these mysteries is a revelation of the Kingdom now present in the very person of Jesus. The Baptism in the Jordan is first of all a mystery of light. Here, as Christ descends into the waters, the innocent one who became sin for our sake (cf. 2Cor 5:21), the heavens open wide and the voice of the Father declares him the beloved Son (cf. Mt 3:17 and parallels), while the Spirit descends on him to invest him with the mission which he is to carry out. Another mystery of light is the first of the signs, given at Cana (cf. Jn 2:1- 12), when Christ changes water into wine and opens the hearts of the disciples to faith, thanks to the intervention of Mary, the first among believers. Another mystery of light is the preaching by which Jesus proclaims the coming of the Kingdom of God, calls to conversion (cf. Mk 1:15) and forgives the sins of all who draw near to him in humble trust (cf. Mk 2:3-13; Lk 7:47- 48): the inauguration of that ministry of mercy which he continues to exercise until the end of the world, particularly through the Sacrament of Reconciliation which he has entrusted to his Church (cf. Jn 20:22-23). The mystery of light par excellence is the Transfiguration, traditionally believed to have taken place on Mount Tabor. The glory of the Godhead shines forth from the face of Christ as the Father commands the astonished Apostles to listen to him (cf. Lk 9:35 and parallels) and to prepare to experience with him the agony of the Passion, so as to come with him to the joy of the Resurrection and a life transfigured by the Holy Spirit. A final mystery of light is the institution of the Eucharist, in which Christ offers his body and blood as food under the signs of bread and wine, and testifies to the end his love for humanity (Jn 13:1), for whose salvation he will offer himself in sacrifice When to pray the new mysteries? Tuesday and Thursday to the sorrowful mysteries, and Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday to the glorious mysteries. Where might the mysteries of light be inserted? If we consider that the glorious mysteries are said on both Saturday and Sunday, and that Saturday has always had a special Marian flavour, the second weekly meditation on the joyful mysteries, mysteries in which Mary's presence is especially pronounced, could be moved to Saturday. Thursday would then be free for meditating on the mysteries of light. This indication is not intended to limit a rightful freedom in personal and community prayer, where account needs to be taken of spiritual and pastoral needs and of the occurrence of particular liturgical celebrations which might call for suitable adaptations. What is really important is that the Rosary should always be seen and experienced as a path of contemplation. In the Rosary, in a way similar to what takes place in the Liturgy, the Christian week, centred on Sunday, the day of Resurrection, becomes a journey through the mysteries of the life of Christ, and he is revealed in the lives of his disciples as the Lord of time and of history.

[JOYnet] Which Audience Are U Playing To?.............
Hi Praise the Lord... Pls do check out this message.fowarded by my friend Which Audience Are U Playing To? Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is - His good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12:2 What audience do you play to? Each day you are seen by many who will make a judgment about the way you handle yourself among different audiences. Politicians have learned to play to their audiences, customizing messages for the needs of their particular groups. Musicians have learned to play to their audiences. Priests play to their congregations each Sunday morning. Businesspeople play to the audiences who will buy their product. God has called us to play to one audience - the audience of Himself. When you seek to please any other audience in your life, you become susceptible to situational ethics and motivations based on the need for the moment. Your audience becomes a pawn in your hands because you know what they want. Is that wrong? Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't. Pure obedience to pleasing God in our lives will often meet the needs of those around us. It is God's will that you and I love our spouses, provide good services to our customers, and look to the interests of others before ourselves. This will result in meeting many needs of the audiences in our lives. However, there are other times when our audiences are asking for something contrary to God's will. Politicians are often forced to appease their audiences, even though it may go against God's laws. When we are asked to go with the flow, we discover which audience is most important in our lives. Is it the audience of One, or the audience of many? Today, be aware of which audience you are playing to. Ask yourself why you are taking a particular action. Is it to please the audience of One? Or is it to please the audience of others who might negatively impact you should you not play to their tune?

[JOYnet] WE WANNA SEE JESUS LIFTED HIGH
PRAISE THE LORD Dear Joynetters, I am Dencil. I have been following all the mails whenever i got the time. It is wondeful to know that 1000+ share Jesus everyday. So, what happened to me now? Dear friends, the Lord our God showered His grace upon me to attend the National Campus Conference that was held at Ernakulum, Kerala. The program was for 4 days, 12, 13, 14, and 15th of this month. We had actually been expecting 15 people from coimbatore, but only 10 of us were able to go for the conference. The 10 lukcy and chosen ones of our Lord and saviour were Shobith, Ginu Sindhu , Josephine, Mercy, Vimal Raj, Geo, and myself. Robin and Gibson ( Rex bander) later joined us. We attended the mass at Gandhipuram church and received the blessings from the father. As it was pooja holidays there was a lot of rush as every body were going home and the buses were all full. But He who split the red sea to guide His chosen ones showered Hid Grace upon us. We got seats and we started off from Gandhipuram at 10:30 p.m. We! reached Ernakulum at 3:00 a.m. As we could not go to the St Theresa's college until it was 6:00 a.m., we had to spent our time at the bus stand itself. The girls went to the ladies waiting room. We bought 2 news papers and sat there in the bus stand, singing praises to the Lord. We also said a rosary of mercy together, it was a wonderful experience. Then, we managed to get a nap. After that at 6:00 in the morning we went to the venue. When we reached there, it was raining heavily. Slowly everyone started to arrive in ones and two's. The program started at 9:30 a.m. with the music ministry starting off with the beautiful song, I am trading my sorrows. It was a beautiful experience singing and offering praises to the Lord. There was praise and worship sessions, and talks throughout the program. There were representations from B'lore, Manipal, Nagpur, Andhra Pradesh, Katpadi, Bombay, and from CBE. Our accommodation was in a school at Kacheripadi. The first day passed, and we! were being kindly lead by the spirit. We could feel it in each song, in each praise, in each mass, and in each prayer we made. The second day, we had confession, I was able to make a good confession. In between the praises, the worships, and the songs, my mind was wandering here and there sometimes. In fact i felt jealous towards some of them who had been there, i do not exactly know the reason why i felt that way. But i prayed to the Lord to take all the things that was keeping me away from Him. After the confession, i was a better person. I was again a bit disturbed, i still do not why. But, when the Lord chose me to be close to HIm, my heart leapt with joy. If I try to to put in words how i felt, i think i would not be able to do justice to the true essence of it. I thanked and praised the Lord for his UNCONDITIONAL AND UNCOMPROMISED GRACE that he was showering upon this UNFAITHFUL SINNER. Then, the third day came, the highlight of that day was the one-to-one evangelisat! ion that was scheduled on that day. Everyone was very eager to go out into the streets and proclaim the Word of God. There were classes explaining how to go about it and share the Good news in a more apealing way. We found those classes very much interesting. Although, we all wanted and were eager by then to go out and proclaim the Good News, we were still somewhat unsure as to how we would go about when the time came. There was still a heavy downpour. We prayed to the Lord to stop the rain so that we could go out to proclaim the Good News. It was planned for 4:45, and the time came soon, Hallelujah, the rain stopped. We were divided into teams of 24 members. The team that I was in was to go to the South Railway station. We reached there. We were given 1 hour. We went inside the railway station. One by one each of us started looking for the person that God wanted us to share the Good news. I was very nervous, but still i wanted very much and prayed to the Lord constantly to ! lead me to the person he had chosen for me to proclaim His Word. I walked to and fro and up and down, but i could not muster the courage to go sit beside someone and tell him about Jesus. I cried in my heart to give me the grace to share Jesus to atleast one person. Then, as i was walking i saw a person sitting all alone. So, i went and sat beside him. I did not know how to start the conversation. I asked to Lord to give me an opening. I looked at his hand to see if had a watch so that i can start off by asking the time, but he had no watch. I sat there for a whole minute praying to the Lord to help me start at least. I just looked out, the rain was still pouring down heavily. Then, somehow I smile at him and commented on the rain. Then, he also started talking about the rain and how it had been there for 4 days continously in various parts of Kerala. Then i asked him where he was going, his name, his place, his family, and the
